 Read the passage and choose the best answer.

Biomimicry borrows nature's design ideas and applies them to solve human difficulties. Nowadays a lot of companies started to invent in ways that are as elegant as what nature manages to do, and their designers and engineers began to sit with biologists to learn how nature would solve whatever it is they're trying to solve. 

 Some biologists worked with Nike company on apparel(服装)that would keep an athlete cool at the 2004 Summer Olympics. In a hot, dry place like Athens, what kind of organisms have to keep themselves cool and how do they do it? They found an African reed frog——a champion adapter in the heater—to study. 

If a company is making a solar cell , Biomimicry scientists will talk about how a leaf captures energy with their designers. Or if they're looking for some way to create an impact-resistant car, 

Biomimicry scientists will explain how woodpeckers can peck trees all day without harming themselves. 

Companies get the catalog of inspiration from the natural world and create things that sip energy, a city planner, an architect-should take one biology class in school. 

If you take a look at the octopus, you'll notice it moves fluidly and precisely but of course without motors or noisy fans or harmful fuel. The giraffe's vascular system allows it to pump blood up to its head and dip its head without getting dizzy. The humpback whale's flipper has scalloped edges to calm turbulence, and that's being mimicked in a new kind of wind turbine that can rotate in very low wind speeds because of its shape. There's even a new kind of pacemaker based on the heart of the whale. 

One famous biologist once said, 'In nature, failures are fossils. The organisms that are still with us are proven Companies that created a new product inspired by an organism have decided to donate a percentage of their proceeds to conserve the habitats of the organism.

①Have you ever experienced a quiet carriage(车厢) while traveling by high- speed train in China? According to China State Railway Group, some high- speed trainlines, including the Beijing- Shanghai, Beijing- Guangzhou, and Chengdu- Chongqing lines, have introduced quiet carriage services. The service is popular among travelers and has become a hot topic on Weibo.

②  Passengersareabletochoosequietcarriageswhenbookingtrainticketson12306.  cn—the official train ticket booking system website. On the 12306 App, trains with quiet carriages will have a Chinese character"静" to remind passengers. If you want to buy a second- class ticket with quiet carriages, you can choose" Please first allocate(分配) a quiet carriage seat for me."

③Upon booking, a friendly reminder will pop up. Passengers in the quiet carriage are expected to follow these agreements, including using headphones when listening to music, turning mobile phones to silent mode, stepping out of the quiet carriage when making or receiving calls, and making sure children remain well- behaved.

④There are clear signs on the doors and walls of the quiet carriages. These remind everyone to keep silent. To further create a quiet environment, the voice announcements(通知) in the quiet carriage are lowered to 30% to 40% of the normal volume(音量).

⑤What's more, the staff on the train remind each passenger of the arrival information one- on- one. They also provide gentle reminders to the passengers, reminding them to keep a quiet environment within the quiet carriage. The meal service staff will also refrain from introducing products and services within the carriages. If passengers want to order food, they can conveniently scan(扫描) the QR code on the armrest of their seat, then the staff will quickly pick up the order and bring the food to them. The train also provides passengers with eye masks and earphones.

When it comes to traveling, most people would choose to go with their families or friends. But now, many are choosing new travel. buddies--their pets. Zeng Qingbin is one such person. Over the past eight years, the 35-year- old from Hangzhou, Zhejiang province, has traveled across the country with his dogs--a Shiba Inu named Chai Chai and a Labrador retriever called Ba Bao. In Zeng's eyes, these dogs are like his children. "I've always dreamed of letting them run freely on wide grasslands with snow-capped mountains in the background," Zeng said. 

As-traveling with pets becomes more popular in China, related services are also growing. 

Zhang Wei, who specializes (专门从事) in pet hiking, has organized about 180 pet trips since 2022. Each trip usually includes two to five professional guides for groups of up to 30 owners and their dogs. " ★  and all the guides are trained to deal with various emergencies (紧急情况) in the mountains," Zhang said. What's more, Zhang's team asks pet owners to fill out a form about their dogs to provide a better service before a trip.

At the same time, airlines have begun offering charter (包租) services for pet owners to travel across the country and even internationally. 

On June 14, China's first outbound (出境的) charter flight allowing pets landed at Shanghai Pudong International Airport after taking 60 tourists and 18 pet dogs to Thailand. There will be more trips to South Korea, Southeast Asia and Europe. 

Though pet tourism is still in its early stages and faces many challenges in China, it is becoming a promising area for exploration in the tourism industry (行业), experts said.

The phrase"city bu city" has become popular online, thanks to a foreign video blogger named Baobaoxiong. It's a way to describe if a place feels modern. This year, many foreigners {#blank#}1{#/blank#} ( visit) China and sharing their experiences through travel videos. A big reason for this is China's visa-free transit policy(过境免签政策), which allows travelers from 54 countries {#blank#}2{#/blank#} ( stay) for up to six days without a visa, as long as they have a passport and a ticket to leave.
