湖北省荆门市2021年初中英语学业水平适应性考试英语试卷
In a perfect world, everything would be free. Until then, earning discounts (折扣) for doing things you would probably already be doing-like walking to work-is the next best thing.
According to The Daily Dot, a free iOS app called Miles lets you earn points simply by getting up and going somewhere. When you earn enough points, you'll be able to get gift cards and discounts for businesses like Amazon, Starbucks and Whole Foods.
The app is created to encourage eco-friendly travel, so the reward points you get depend on your transport. One mile in a car translates to one point, but a ride in an Uber or Lyft will get you double the points. Public transportation helps you get three points per mile, biking is five points per mile, and walking is 10 points per mile. Flying, on the other hands, will only give you 0.1 point per mile.
The trips will be recorded by the app itself. Of course, users have to allow the app to track their location at all times, which might make some people unhappy. The app's CEO said the information collected from the app wouldn't be shared with others.
How far do you need to travel to get the rewards? Well, if you want to get something like a $5 Starbucks or Amazon gift card, you are supposed to have 2,500 points—that is 250 miles of walking. The app isn't available on Android but it should be coming soon.
In 2013, Chinese President Xi Jinping offered to build a Silk Road Economic Belt (经济带) and a 21st Century Maritime (海上) Silk Road, which became known as the Belt and Road Initiative (BRI, "一带一路"倡议).

As the BRI continues to bring the world together, young people from the Belt and Road countries can see how it continues to develop and have a deeper understanding of it.

Camp houses About ten people share a wood house, including a coach and a camp volunteer. A general bath house is within 200 feet of each house. The size of a house may not be the same. Camp Rules 1. Money: Spending money is NOT needed at camp with no place to spend it. Money and all valuables should remain at home. 2. Electronics (电子产品): Electronics like mobile phones and computer games are NOT allowed at camp. These will be taken away and returned to the camper when the camp ends. Sample Schedules Generally, campers get up at 7:00 am and have an early bird activity like swimming or fishing. After breakfast, there are activities until lunch. These may include environmental lessons or biology experiments. A wildlife biologist may guide the campers. After lunch, there are more activities, such as hiking (徒步), boating, or field trips. Taking a night walk, star watching, playing games and listening to stories around a campfire (营火) are among the choices for the night. |
