Train tickets start from around NZ$49 per person. Ferry Ferries are popular for travel between the North and South Islands. The two major providers are interIslander and Bluebridge, and fares start at NZ$55 for foot passengers. Taking the ferry means you’ll experience the beautiful Marlborough Sounds on your way into or out of Picton. Ferry travel is also available between the mainland and New Zealand’s offshore islands, including Waiheke, Rangitoto and Great Barrier near Auckland city, and Stewart Island just below the South Island. In some coastal areas, ferries connect towns which are closer via water than via road – including Russell and Paihia in the Bay of Islands. Water taxis are smaller vessels which offer a scheduled service visiting the small ports that ferries can’t reach – handy for reaching out of the way hiking and mountain biking spots in places like Queen Charlotte Sounds and Abel Tasman National Park. 21.

I live in a suburb （郊區(qū)） of Los Angeles, where people waste a lot and cause many environmental problems. Over time I have begun to feel unhappy living like that. I decided to see how simply I could live, so I stopped buying anything that came in a package or plastic bags. This helped somewhat, but there was still one big source of rubbish: food waste like fruit and vegetable peelings. It seemed a waste to throw them away. So that’s why I bought the worms. I knew that earthworms did a lot of work in the soil, but I didn’t think there was much for them to do in my apartment. After reading a book about how to recycle food waste into soil, I bought a big plastic box and filled it with dirt. Then I bought a kilogram of worms from a local fishing store and put them all into the box. I put the food waste I’d collected on top and put the cover on. That night I was so afraid the worms would escape and I would wake up to find them all over the house. But that didn’t happen. What did happen was that the worms ate my food waste, digested it, and what came out was very rich soil! It was really amazing to watch my rubbish disappear like that. I started growing vegetables, and used this soil to help them grow. It was a perfect cycle and that’s how I know just how hard worms work – by feasting. Thanks largely to the earthworms, I only throw way two small bags of rubbish every two months, and live very happily because of my simplicity. 24. Why did the author decide to live simply? A.
