Travel Tips for Holidays Abroad

Everyone loves holiday abroad. They give us the chance to see some sights, have some fun and relax. However, holiday s aren’t always a great experience. Follow these tips to make sure you enjoy your holiday.

31

Have you packed your passport? Your tickets? Every year, thousands of people miss flights because they’ve forgotten their passport, they arrive at the airpor t too late, or even go to the wrong airport.

32

How much do you know about the place you are going to visit? Learning a little about the culture of a country will help you understand the people. Learning a few words of another language can also help you make new friends. 33

Try to reduce the pollution you cause. Travel by train if you can. Flying produces twenty times more carbon dioxide than traveling by train. Of course, it might be impossible to avoid flying, but when you arrive, use buses or trains instead of taxis. 34

You can help a local community a lot by staying in local hotels and eating in local restaurants. This means that your money will go to local people, rather than to a large international company. 35 You don’t want to for get your holiday. Make a scrapbook-a book of memories-about your holiday. You can show it to friends, or just use it to remember all the good times you had! And don’t forget the new friends you made on holiday. Did you promise to send them pictures or pres ents? Don’t forget to do it! Then next time you go on holiday, you can visit them again.

Many people say that they are working too many hours, 76 They can’t take care of things at home. They don’t have time to relax.

77 In France, people spend about 1,646 hours a year at work. In Japan, however, people work about 2,159 hours a year. That means a Japanese employee(员工)works 513 more hours a year than a French one. That is more than 12 weeks, or three months, of extra(额外的)work!

78 Some people work extra hours because they want to make more money. However, many companies don’t pay overtime. Their employees don’t get extra pay for extra work. These people work extra hours because they think it’s their duty. Some people are afraid they will lose their jobs if they don’t work extra hours.

79 In France, people get five weeks of paid vacation. In Germany, they get from four to six weeks. In the United States, two weeks of vacation is the average(平均).In one study in Great Britain, fewer than half of the workers ran out of all their vacation days. 80 If that is true, there will be a lot of dull people in the world.

Humans’ Greatest Achievements

The Earth is 4.5 billion years old, but the human race has lived on it for just 200,000 years. In that short time, we have achieved some amazing things.

76 The list is almost endless. The invention of the airplane has changed our lives. The discovery of antibiotics(抗生素) has saved the lives of millions of people. Can you imagine living without electricity? What about the printing press(印刷术)? Without the printing press, you wouldn’t be reading this. In the last 50 years, there have been great achievements in communication, such as radio, TV, computers, the Internet, and smart-phones. 77

What about the arts? The arts have brought pleasure to many people, but are the Beatles and Bach more important than antibiotics? 78

Finally, we must not forget humans’ early achievements. 79 We can’t imagine modern life without cooked food and cars.

What are h umans’ greatest achievements? To answer the question, we need to decide what we mean by “great”. 80 Or is it just something that makes us say “Wow,” like the Great Wall? What do you think?

Have you seen the cartoons of two penguins on the Internet? They sit on either side of a small boat. They are friends, but each does something selfish(自私的)which causes their friend “ship” to sink.

53 It shows how much people value friendship and sometimes worry they may lose their friends. 54

A friend is someone to talk to about your deepest feelings.And with a good friend you will never be alone.

55 The key to protecting your friend “ship” from sinking comes down to three simple things: sharing, caring and communicating. Good friends like to share everything with each other. They share their snacks, they share their knowledge about schoolwork, sometimes they even share their clothes! 56 They do whatever they can to make their friends happy. But the most important part of friendship is communicating.

57 It also means that you keep in touch with your friends even though they may be in different schools or live far away. Without communication it is sure to send your friend “ship” to sink into the sea.

Friends are important in our life, because no one wants to be lonely. However, some people have difficulty in making friends and they often feel lonely. 62 According to new study from Chicago University, the reason is that this kind of people have brain(脑)different from common people.
