Day 1: Arrive in Delhitablet5
You will be met on arrival and sent to the 5-star Roseate Hotel. You can spend the day in its rooftop pool overlooking Delhi or explore the city, which may be one of the world’ s largest cities, but building wonders — new and old — fill the city. Mughal treasures, including the Re
d Fort and Jama Masjid, are added by more recent additions (添加物) to Delhi’ s traditional buildings, such as the Lotus and Akshardham Temples.
Day 2: Journey to Tadoba
Take the early morning flight to Nagpur. On arrival into Nagpur, you will be met by our local guide, who will take you to Tadoba National Park. Part of the park contains Tadoba Andhari Tiger Reserve (保护区), one of India’s most exciting and best-protected tiger reserves.
For the next 4 nights, you will be staying at Bamboo Forest Safari Lodge. Later this evening there will be a welcome dinner.
Days 3-5 : Safari Drives
The next three clays will follow a similar schedule, as you head into Tadoba National Park searching for India’s tigers as well as the park’ s many other wildlife species and birdlife.
The day starts early, usually before sunrise, as this is when the wildlife is at its most active. Mornings begin with tea in bed. Breakfast will normally be taken in the park.

Eradajere Oleita thinks she may have a partial solution for two of our country’s long-standing problems: garbage and poverty. It’s called The Chip Bag Project. The 26-year-old student and environmentalist from Detroit is asking a favor of local snack lovers: Rather than throw your empty chip bags into the trash, donate them so she can turn them into sleeping bags for the homeless.
Chip eaters drop off their empty bags from Lay’s (乐事公司) at two locations in Detroit: a print shop and a clothing store, where Oleita and her volunteer helpers collect them. After they clean the chip bags in hot soapy water, they slice them open, lay them flat, and iron them together. It takes about four hours to sew a sleeping bag, and each takes around 150 to 300 chip bags, depending on whether it’s single-serve or family-size. “The result is a slee
ping bag that is waterproof, lightweight, and easy to carry around.” Oleita told The Detroit News.
Since its start in 2020, the Chip Bag Project has collected more than 800,000 chip bags and, as of last December, it has created 110 sleeping bags. Sure, it would be simpler to raise money to buy new sleeping bags. But that’s only half the goal for Oleita—whose family moved to the United States from Nigeria a decade ago with the hope of attaining a better life—and her fellow volunteers. “We are committed to making an impact not only socially, but also environmentally.” she said.
And, of course, there’s the symbolism of salvaging bags that would otherwise be abandoned in the trash and using them to help the homeless. It’s a powerful reminder that environmental injustice and poverty often go hand in hand. As Oleita told www.hourdetroit, “I think it’s time to show connections between these issues.”
4．What is the purpose of the Chip Bag Project?
A．To make donations for the homeless.
B．To deal with garbage and sleeping bags.
C．To stop pollution caused by snack lovers.
D．To protect the environment and reduce poverty.
5．How does Oleita get materials for sleeping bags?
A．By turning to chip eaters.    B．By producing chip bags.
C．By purchasing snacks.    D．By cooperating with the poor.
6．What can be inferred from paragraph 3?
A．Oleita raises money by creating new sleeping bags.
B．Oleita hopes to gain a better life through the project.
C．Oleita and her fellows will continue pursuing their goal.
D．110 sleeping bags were created by the Project in 2020.
7．Which of the following best describes Eradajere Oleita?
A．Determined and honest.    B．Ambitious and humorous.
C．Devoted and creative.    D．Caring and dependent.
