    READING I:
    Imagine that you had to remove your appendix to live in your hometown, and your family
    had to do the same. That is the only option for long-term residents ―even the children― of
    Villa Las Estrellas, one of the few settlements in Antarctica where some people live for
    years rather than weeks or months. Appendix removal is a necessary precaution for the
    handful of people who stay longer-term because the nearest major hospital is more than
    1,000km (625 miles) away, past the tip of King George Island, one of the Antarctic islands
    in which Villa Las Estrellas is located. There are only a few doctors on base, and none are
    specialist surgeons.

    READING II:

    The Great Pacific Garbage Patch is the world’s largest collection of floating trash— and the
    most famous. It lies between Hawaii and California and is often described as “larger than
    Texas,” even though it does not contain any surface to stand. It cannot be seen from space,
    as is often claimed. The patch was discovered in 1997 by Charles Moore, a yachtsman who
    had sailed through a mix of floating plastic bottles and other debris on his way home to Los
    Angeles. It was named by Curtis Ebbesmeyer, a Seattle oceanographer known for his
    expertise in tracking ocean currents and the movement of cargo lost overboard. The patch is
    now the target of a $32 million cleanup campaign launched by a Dutch teenager, Boyan
    Slat, now 23, and head of the Ocean Cleanup, the organization he founded to do the job..
