They traveled 5,200 miles from Phoenix, Arizona to the island of Biggarenn. They didnt carry any food or water.The island is part of the Marshall Islands. It offered no basic facilities, (26)_ the Flakes had to catch and cook their own food and purify their water. Their diet (27)_(make) up of coconuts (椰子), fish and other seafood. They captured the fish and other sea creatures themselves and cooked the food over an open fire (28)_(start) with a magnifying glass (放大镜).The Flakes brought along a lobster (龙虾) trap in hopes of having some delicious treats, but it was lost within the first few hours after (29)_(attack) by a shark. They also carried two pumps to remove salt from ocean water. It took them hours each night (30)_ (pump) for just a small amount of fresh water.One of the most memorable moments of the trip, the father said, was (31)_ he and his 15-year-old son were chased by sharks after catching a fish in the ocean.Still, it was quite (32)_ enjoyable holiday for the politician. “For a dad it was a wonderful thing.

Commenting on the findings, Heather Wipfli and Jonathan Samet from the University of Southern California, said policymakers try to _44_ families to stop smoking in the home.While deaths due to passive smoking in children were skewed (曲解) toward poor and middle-income countries, deaths in adults were _45_ across countries at all income levels.In Europes high-income countries, only 71 child deaths occurred, while 35,388 deaths were in adults. Yet in the countries like Africa, an estimated 43,375 deaths due to passive smoking were in children _46_ with 9,514 in adults.Only 7.4 percent of the world population currently lives in places with _47_ smoke-free laws, and those laws are not always _48_ enforced (施行). In places where smoke-free rules are _49_, research shows that exposure to second-hand smoke in high-risk places like bars and restaurants can be cut by 90 percent, and in general by 60 percent, the researchers said.Studies also show such laws help to reduce the number of cigarettes smoked by smokers and lead to higher _50_ rates in those trying to quit.III.

While RMB is on the rise, currencies from some of Chinas _59_ for tourism, such as Japan, are depreciating (贬值), meaning travel to some other Asian countries has been getting cheaper while travel to China is becoming more expensive,” Jiang Yiyi said.
