Go on the Same Vacation Every Year - Here's Why
When we first rented a home on Seven Mile Island in Southern New Jersey, it never occurred to me that my family would continue to go there every summer for more than two decades. But that's exactly what's happened, and now I've been taking the same beach vacation for more than half of my life and for most of my children's lives. It has become part of our family culture. Our beach vacation is something we plan for, and look forward to, all year. This permanent（固定的） place for the summer getaway is on all of our calendars. Here's why you might want to start taking the same vacation every year, too.
Staying in our comfort zone
We do enjoy exploring new parts of the world. But for a truly comfortable getaway, knowing what to expect when traveling to a favorite spot is priceless. I don't feel the need to climb a
mountain or see a world wonder during this trip, or spend an entire day in a museum because it's my only chance to see its amazing works of art. All that's required of me to do is bring a book and a beach chair, with no FOMO ("Fear of Missing Out"的缩写错失恐惧症）.
Anticipation（期待）of
One thing that keeps us coming back to the same location every summer is our family tradition of revisiting our favorite spots to do our favorite activities along the shore; diving under the waves, walking along the beach, and sharing fresh seafood dinners and special vacation foods.
Fun for all ages
Through the years, our family has grown - and grown older. My oldest son was in college and my daughter was in primary school when we started going to Seven Mile Island; now they're both married, and their spouses（配偶）come along, too. My youngest son wasn't born yet the first time we rented a beach house; now he's teen learning to surf.
We can always find fun things to do for every family member. There are games ranging from basketball, card games to puzzles. Everyone can have a good time.
Appreciation of the destination
Visiting the same destination every year enables us to explore it in-depth in a way we could never do with only a one-time visit. On our seven-mile beach island, we've explored up and down the coast and found our favorite spots to kayak（划独木舟）, bike, fish and eat, each year adding a new find to our favorites list.
Same time next year!
The end of vacation is always a little sad, but another advantage of having the same vacation every year is knowing that we'll be able to do it all again, the exact same way, next year!

How often do you use emoji（表情符号）when messaging your friends For example, it's likely that you've used a small happy face to show a friend how you were feeling while talking to them.
Emojis certainly seem to be getting more popular. Now there are 3,600 emojis a 81 for us to show our feelings. There is a lot of demand for them: 72 percent of 18- to 25- year-olds find it easier to express their feelings in emoji pictures than through the written word. That's perhaps w 82 we need emojis. With the little faces and objects becoming more and more detailed and useful, they make up Britain's fastest-growing language, according to Professor Vyvyan Evans, a linguist（ 语言学家）at Bangor University, UK. Apple Inc. also released in April a set of new emojis from different colours of skin after people c 83 that all the faces were white.
Not everyone thinks the use of emoji a good thing, however. According to writer Jonathan Jones in The Guardian, the success has come because "it is easier to go downhill（走下坡路）than uphill". He goes on to say that "after thousands of years of improvement, from a time when we couldn't read to Shakespeare, humanity（人类）is rushing to throw it all away". Some, like Jones, believe that emojis are h 84 the way we communicate in English.
Professor Evans says that "as a visual（可视的）language emojis have already done much b 85 than hieroglyphics（象形文字）, the ancient Egyptian language which took hundreds of
years to develop". A study even found that the use of emojis helps us get the same satisfaction from online talking that we get from communicating in person. Our brains r 86 emojis as our body language online. Jones doesn't agree that this is a good thing though, saying that ancient Egypt had a great "but unchanging culture" and could not develop "a more questioning literary（文
学的）culture.
Jones goes on to say that "the written word is needed to bring ideas, poetry and argument to their highest levels". For this reason, some are a 87 using emoji as often as we do these days. What do you think Are emoji making us worse at communicating, or do you think they add something special to our conversations
Read the passage below and answer the following questions（根据文章内容回答下列问题）
It might not be long until humans uncover the secrets of the far side of the moon. China's Chang'e 4 robotic probe（探测器）, which is set to become the first probe to land on the moon's far side, was launched successfully on Dec 8. Chang'e 4 is taking some plant seeds and eggs to the moon. It is hoped that Chang'e 4 will be able to do experiments with them. These will be the first biological experiments to take place on the moon.
The moon rotates（自转）at the same speed that it orbits（绕……运行）Earth. Therefore, the
same side of the moon always faces Earth. The far side of the moon is the side that we cannot see. We don't know much about it so far. However, the far side of the moon is an ideal place for scientific research. It is exposed（暴露）to solar winds that may have formed unique minerals and other resources. And since the far side is less influenced by Earth's gravity, scientists can .
But it is hard to land on the far side of the moon. Spacecraft that land there cannot receive any radio signals from Earth. To solve this problem, China launched a relay satellite（中继卫星） called Queqiao into space in May. Through Queqiao, scientists can control and operate Chang'e 4 and make sure it will land in a specific area.
The probe's travel time is also important. Chang'e 4 is expected to land on the moon on Jan 2, China Daily reported. It will travel through space for more than 20 days before landing. This is longer than Chang'e 3, which was in space for about 12 days before landing. The travel time was changed because scientists want Chang'e 4 to land on the moon when it is daytime. This way, the spacecraft's solar panels can receive energy from the sun and allow the probe to start working. A single day on the moon is about 28 days on Earth. Therefore, Chang'e 4 will keep orbiting the
moon before landing as it waits for daytime, according to Sun Zezhou, chief designer of Chang'e 4.
