22、Gap Year Sailing Programs
About Programs
A gap year is typically a year-long break before or after university. Sailing in a gap year is a trip of discovery. These unique adventure programs can take you across oceans and whole regions to experience dozens of countries in a single gap year. They can cover several regions, like the Indian Ocean, the Caribbean Sea, New England, The Maritimes, etc.
You’ll find that a boat is a perfect place to put classroom theory into real-world practice. The valuable new skills that you have here can be easily applied to nearly any workplace. Cooperation, creative thinking, and problem-solving are all necessities of life aboard a ship and applicable wherever you go after your voyage ends.
Planning Your Trip
● Costs
How much a sailing gap year costs changes greatly depending on the type of the program and the length of the voyage. A program lasting a few weeks may cost $5,000 or more. Months-long adventures may be as much as $20,000, especially if they involve college credits or other coursework.
● Accommodation (住宿)
Housing will consist of a berth (铺位) aboard your boat. Don’t expect anything fancy. You’ll likely have little more than a bed and a small storage locker in a two-or three-person cabin. Given the limited size of your living space, expect to stay with your crew mates at all times with little real privacy.
● Health & Safety
Living aboard a ship means that you can’t always count on having medical equipment nearby. You are asked to provide a health certificate (证明) confirming that you are in good health before being accepted into your program. Most programs include medical emergency insurance as part of their fees.

24、Over the years, Brian Wansink, director of the Food and Brand Lab at Cornell University, has studied such things as how far Americans typically drive to buy food, how many times we refill our plates at all-you-can-eat buffets and how we organize our kitchens. In the mid-2000s he famously coined the phrase “mindless eating” (and wrote a book by that name) to focus attention on all the bad dietary decisions we make without really thinking about them.
His new book, Slim by Design: Mindless Eating Solutions for Everyday Life, aims to change the design of restaurants, school lunchrooms, office cafeterias and homes so that the mindless choices we make will be more healthful ones. Here are some examples.
Keep kitchen counters clear. No visible snack food, no bread, no nuts—not even breakfast cereals. In Wansink’s research, “women who had even one box of breakfast cereal that was visible—anywhere in their kitchens—weighed 21 pounds more than their neighbors who didn’t.”
Trick yourself into drinking less wine. “We tend to focus on the height of what we pour and not the width, so we pour 12 percent less wine into taller wine glasses than we pour into wider wine glasses.” And the shape of the glass is not the only variable(变量) that affects how much we drink. Wansink writes,“Because red wine is easier to see than white wine, we pour 9 percent less whenever we pour a glass of red wine.”
Wansink said his researchers also found that people ate less at restaurants when sitting in well-lighted areas near windows and doors, than in darker areas or in the back. They ate less if they were offered a doggie bag, or to-go box, before they got their meals: apparently the idea of getting a “free” second meal outweighed the impulse(冲动) to clean their plates. Workers who frequently ate at their desks weighed 15.4 pounds less, on average, than those who didn’t. Fruit and vegetables kept on the top shelf of the refrigerator were eaten at higher rates than those on lower shelves.
The point, Wansink says, is to consider findings like those and change your environment or habits. Then you won’t have to think about it: You’ll just eat less.
【1】Why did Brian Wansink write Slim by Design: Mindless Eating Solutions for Everyday Life?
A．Because he wanted people to become thin.
B．Because he wanted people to learn from him.
C．Because he hoped to coin a new phrase “mindless eating”.
D．Because he wished to change the design of dining places.
【2】According to Wansink, which of the following affects the amount of wine we drink?
A．The shape of wine glasses.
B．The color of wine glasses.
C．The taste of wine.
D．The quality of wine.
【3】What does the underlined phrase “a doggie bag” in Paragraph 5 probably mean?
A．A bag for carrying things.
B．A box for takeaway food.
C．A bag for carrying dog food.
D．A container for leftovers.
【4】What’s the main idea of the passage?
A．Changing the environment or eating habits will help you eat less.
B．Eating fruit and vegetables is better for your health.
C．Keeping your kitchen counter clear of any food will help make you thin.
D．Many people eat or drink too much without paying attention to it.
25、 This is Warsaw, where lunch is usually a slab of meat with a side order of sausage. But at Krowarzywa — which means “cow alive” and _______ the word warzywa, meaning vegetables — no animals were harmed in the making of food. The bestselling “vegan pastrami” is made of seitan, a wheat-based meat _______.
Warsaw has almost 50 vegan restaurants. That does not mean it has all that many vegans. Kassia, a 20-something professional in the queue, says she has no ethical _______ to eating meat. She comes to Krowarzywa because she likes the food. Kornel Kisala, the head chef, thinks that most of Krowarzywa’s clients eat meat, but it does not worry him. “Animals don’t _______ whether you eat a vegan burger because it is fashionable or because it is tasty.” According to the survey, 60% of people _______ say they plan to cut back on meat this year. Eating vegetarian and vegan meals now and then is one of the ways some choose to do so.
Two years ago Eric Schmidt, a Silicon Valley figure, called plant-based meat substitutes the world’s most important future technology, he foresaw them improving people’s health, reducing environmental degradation and making food more _______ for the poor. The founder of the first vegan society said in 1944 that “In time people will view with disgust the idea that men once fed on the products of animals’ bodies.” Ever since the number of people _______ his hope has been increasing. Perhaps their time is coming at last.
If so, it is a _______ coming. Meat consumption worldwide has been _______ consistently by almost 3% a year since 1960, mostly because people get richer. In the early 1970s the average Chinese person, __________, ate 14 kg (31lb) of meat a year. Now they eat 55 kg a year.
In America, Nielsen found in 2017 that 3% of the population called themselves vegans and 6% vegetarians(people who avoid meat, but eat eggs and/or dairy products). But more detailed research by Faunalytics puts the numbers at just 0.5% for vegans and 3. 4% for vegetarians. Fully a quarter of 25-to 34-year-olds in America claim to be either vegan or vegetarian, __________ studies by Faunalyties find the median age of American vegans to be 42. It seems that a fair amount of ambitious self-discipline, terminological inexactitude (术语的不准确) or simple hypocrisy (伪善) is at play.
Overall, though, it seems __________ to say that the number of people sometimes or regularly choosing to eat vegan food is growing much faster than the growth in people deeply __________ to a meat-free life. Patrice Bula, a vice president at Nestle, says that a __________ proportion of the people buying his company’s vegan meals are true vegetarians or vegans. People in this larger group are often called “flexible vegetarians”, who __________ back and forth between omnivorous (杂食的) and vegetable diets. The true vegan trend lies in casual, part time veganism.
