How to be a good tourist
We travel for work but also for fun and learning. New restaurants, galleries, temples and new architecture…These places are homes for people like us who live and work there. How would you want visitors to behave in your own home? Think about it. There are many ways of doing this without sacrificing our own holiday.
Do your homework. Guides will help you when you get to site, but is that the best place to go? Is it popular only because the one-day tourist can see it easily or because it is really a worthwhile place to visit? You’d better check it out.
Don’t go to your hotels for meals. Walk around, even if in the streets closest to your hotel. Eat in local restaurants .Talk to the locals. Learn a few in the local language and use them. You will surely get a smile from the hotel staff and street sellers .
Help preserve the sites. Most of the sites you visit may be visited by millions of people a year, so care needs to be taken to allow others to enjoy them as well. Some of these monuments are so old and fragile that they are sensitive to the touch of hands or bags and shows. This way, you don’t encourage the use of those plastic bags that fly all over many sites.
And here’s the big one—good manners are nearly universal. If that doesn’t sound like you, then give the world a break and stay home.
| A．Experience the place. |
| B．Always have a cloth bag with you . |
| C．Read up on the places you want to visit. |
| D．Try to buy something from the local stores. |
E.Good tourist is polite, positive and eco-sensitive.
F.We’vecleaned up after ourselves and taken only good memories.
G. If we are good tourists, wherever we go, we try to make it a little better because of our visit.

How to Simplify Your Life
Less is more．This is why we say: reduce things by half instead of doubling them, get rid of junk instead of piling it up, relax instead of stressing, slow down instead of speeding up．Apply these principles in your everyday life in a conscious way．You will then find yourself well along on your journey to simplification．
1．___ _______．
When you concentrate on one task, you find you have energy that you didn't even know you had．Just imagine: you are at a fair and you have to carry two heavy pigs over 100 yards．If you keep grabbing one and then the other, it will take forever, because one of them will keep slipping out from under your arm and running off．But if you tie one pig in a place, pick up the other, gather all your strength and make a dash for the finish line, pause for a moment, run back and get the other one, and with great determination, carry the second pig to the finish line, then you can be sure of success．
2．__________．
The pressure at work is on the increase in all occupations．In the modern nuclear family, the expectations that formerly would have been shared among all the relatives are now concentrated on the individual partner．
If you have the feeling that 24 hours per day are not enough for all the things you need to do, then it’s not because the day has too few hours, but because you have too many activities．A simple fact that overloaded people often tend to forget．The solution is equally simple: refuse to accept so many work assignments in your private life or your working life．
3． ______．
“I can handle stress” is regarded as a positive statement in the world of work．People who can handle stress are given more and more to cope with — until one day they break．
Pay careful attention to the signs that tell you that you are under more stress than you can cope with．These signals came from various areas of life．You become ill, or your work efficiency decreases．
If you have any of these symptoms, change your life goals and decrease your tolerance of stress．Say quite openly, "I can't manage that．"
4． _____．
"If only I were slimmer, more beautiful, richer, cleverer, then I would be happier．" This is a dream that makes a lot of people ill, depressed, and unhappy．Life has its flaws, defects, comets, and edges．Only those who accept this reality can lead a really full life．
Of course there are activities in which errors are dangerous; driving a car, crossing the road．But life doesn't consist entirely of these things．In among them there is a lot of room for small and large mistakes．
5．___________．
Successful people all have their own places where they can withdraw in order to work．Find out which places improve your creativity．For me it's the train．When I know that I'm going to be traveling for four hours without phone calls and people knocking on my door, I find my mind is free and I can read or write complex articles．There can be problems working on the train, of course: if the person sitting opposite you keeps talking away, or if train trips make you tired (some people fall asleep after a few miles)．

Before going outside in the morning, many of us check a window thermometer (温度计) for the temperature. This helps us decide what to wear. 1We want our food to be a certain coldness in the refrigerator. We want it a certain hotness in the oven. If we don’t feel well, we use a thermometer to see if we have a fever. We keep our rooms a certain warmth in the winter and a certain coolness in the summer.
Not all the thermometers use the same system to measure temperature. We use a system called the Fahrenheit scale. But most other countries use the Centigrade scale.
Both systems use the freezing and boiling points of water as their guide. 2
The most common kind of thermometer is made with mercury (水银) inside a clear glass tube. As mercury ( or any other liquid ) becomes hot, it expands. As it gets colder, it contracts (收缩) . That is why on hot days the mercury line is high in the glass tube. 3
First, take a clear glass juice bottle that has a cap; fill the bottle with colored water. Tap a hole in the center of the cap using a hammer and thick nail. Put the cap on the jar. Then stick a plastic straw (吸管) through the nail hole.
4
Finally, place a white card on the outside of the bottle and behind the straw. Now you can see the water level easily.
5
As the temperature goes down, the water will contract, and the level in the straw will come down. Perhaps you will want to keep a record of the water level in the straw each morning for a week.
A.We use and depend on thermometers to measure the temperature of many other things in our daily lives.
B.Thermometers measure temperature, by using materials that change in the same way when they are heated or cooled.
C.Now that you know this rule you can make a thermometer of your own that will work.
D.The water will rise in the straw. As the temperature of the air goes up, the water will expand and rise even higher.
E.They label these in different ways. On the Fahrenheit scale water freezes at 32 degrees and boils at 212 degrees. On the Celsius scale water freezes at 0 degrees and boils at 100 degrees.
F.Take wax ( you may use an old candle if you have one ) and melt some of it right where the straw is stuck into the cap to seal them together.
G.People use thermometers which are made by themselves when travelling around the world.
