Travel Light
Getting away for a short time always seems like a great idea—until you have to pack.The rule is: pack light. Here are some tips to help you pack.
Make a list. Think of what you need from your head to your toes.When you’ve done this once, it’ll be easier next time.
2. Consider buying small-size samples of shampoo, toothpaste, and other items at your local drugstore. You can reuse the plastic containers next time you go away too.
3. Choosing which clothes to bring is probably the hardest packing decision to make. Think once again from head to toe — hat, shirts, jeans, sneakers, etc. Once you’ve picked out what you want to bring, think carefully. Do you really need that extra pair of jeans? If so, fine.Don’t try to fool yourself. You are the one who will be left holding the bag.
4. Weather is an important factor in your packing. If it’s cold, you could wear a jacket, a - sweater, a regular shirt, and a T-shirt. Putting them on will keep you warm. Remember how much easier it will be to carry your bag! As for shoes, you may want to call ahead to see if dress shoes are necessary. If so, one pair will be enough, along with one pair of comfortable shoes. Remember that it is you who have been invited somewhere, not your things.
So, do it right—pack light.
A.Mixing and matching is a smart and easy way to lighten your load. |
B.But packing won’t be a problem if you remember one simple rule. |
C.You will have an easier time if you’re weighed down. |
D.But make sure they’re really worth the extra weight. |

Music is a necessary part of life. For children, the older they get, the more important music becomes. Here are some ideas to help you teach your kids to enjoy music more.______________
Studies show that even in infancy(幼儿期),music has an effect on the human brain. They have also shown that classical music can lower the blood pressure and calm an upset infant. Singing simple songs to your children is the beginning of enjoying music.______________
Fun little rhyming(押韵的) songs are very easy for children to learn, even with a very limited vocabulary. They will pick up the words and tune quickly and find that singing is a great way to lift their own spirits.______________
Some kids enjoy watching music videos. There are also music videos that are inspiring, uplifting and just plain entertaining, such as Disney’s Fantasia 2000. Kids are attracted by the images they see moving to even the smallest differences of music. Many teachers use these videos to teach about music terms._____________
If you make friends with an instrument you will have a friend for life. Learning to play an instrument can lead to a life-long love of music. When possible, create opportunities for your child to see a soloist(独奏者) playing her or his particular instrument for inspiration._____________
A long trip can be made shorter and more fun by singing. Teaching your kids some of the songs you grew up with can also be fun. There are a lot of sing-a-long CDs and downloads available(可用的),so create a travel mix, and not only will your children enjoy the music more, they will also enjoy the fond memories to the family singing together on the trip to Grandma’s house.

A. Surround Yourself with English B. Listen to English Music C. Log on the English website D. Watch English Films E. Use all of your Resources F. Speak without Fear |
________
The biggest problem most people face in learning a new language is their own fear. They worry that they won’t say things correctly or that they will look stupid so they don’t talk at all. Don’t do this. The fastest way to learn anything is to do it – again and again until you get it right. Like anything, learning English requires practice. Don’t let a little fear stop you from getting what you want.________
Even if you study English at a language school it doesn’t mean you can’t learn outside of class. Using as many different sources, methods and tools as possible, will allow you to learn faster. There are many different ways you can improve your English, so don’t limit yourself to only one or two. The internet is a fantastic resource for virtually anything, but for the language learner it's perfect. _________
The absolute best way to learn English is to put yourself in it. Take notes in English, put English books around your room, listen to English language radio broadcasts, watch English news, movies and television. Speak English with your friends whenever you can. The more English material that you have around you, the faster you will learn and the more likely it is that you will begin “thinking in English.” ________
This is not only a fun way to learn but it is also very effective. By watching English movies (especially those with English subtitles) you can expand your vocabulary and hear the flow of speech from the actors. If you listen to the news you can also hear different accents. ________
Another very effective method of learning English is singing. In fact, it is often used as a way of improving comprehension. The best way to learn is to get the lyrics (words) to the songs you are listening to and try to read them as the artist sings. There are several good internet sites where one can find the words for most songs. This way you can practice your listening and reading at the same time.

The earth is getting warmer. People burn coal, oil and gas and this produces carbon dioxide, methane(沼气)and nitrous oxide. These gases, called “greenhouse gases”, prevent the heat of the sun from leaving the earth’s upper atmosphere and this makes the earth warmer
A few weeks ago a group of scientists produced a report about global warming and the natural world. They wanted to find out if global warming was dangerous for plants and animals. According to what they found, the scientists say that during the next 50 years about 25% of land animals and plants will become extinct. More than a million plant and animal species will be extinct by 2050.
More than 10% of all plants and animals will become extinct. It is too late to save many plants and animals because of the greenhouse gases that are already in the atmosphere. But the scientists say if we control greenhouse gases now, we could save many more plant and animals from extinction.
The scientists studied some regions of the world with a very rich biology. These were Europe, Australia, Central and South America, and South Africa. Their studies showed that species living in mountainous areas had a better chance of survival because they could move uphill, to get cooler. In flat areas, such as deserts, plants and animals would have to move a very long distance to get cooler, so they are in grater danger of extinction.
The scientists found that half of the 24 species of butterflies they studied in Australia would soon become extinct. 60% of the species in the Kruger National Park in South Africa would also die out, and more than 100% of the 300 South Africa plant species they studied would also become extinct. One of the plants in danger of extinction is the national flower of South Africa, the King Protea. They studied 163 tree species in the Cerrado region of Brazil and found that 70 would become extinct. Many of the plants and trees that live in the region live nowhere else in the world. In Mexico, they studied 1,870 species and found that more than 30% of these were in danger of extinction.
