Every year, thousands of people miss flights because theyve forgotten their passport, they arrive at the airport 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 dont want to forget 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 dont forget the new friends you made on holiday. Did you promise to send them pictures or presents?

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 dont pay overtime. Their employees dont get extra pay for extra work. These people work extra hours because they think its their duty. Some people are afraid they will lose their jobs if they dont work extra hours. 79 In France, people get five weeks of paid vacation. In Germany, they get from four to six weeks.

However, laziness can be defeated once a few changes have been made in your mind. 1 Many people lack sleep constantly, since they stay up too late and get up too early to prepare for work. These people have little motivation once they arrive home. Laziness works hand in hand with a lack of motivation and a tendency to put off things. By adjusting your sleep schedule to provide a few more hours of meaningful rest, you can fight laziness throughout the day. Another way to fight laziness is to change your mind from passive to active. Some people treat their lives as if they were pushed from task to task. Others take a more proactive approach, viewing each task as a challenge they must overcome alone. 2 Some people fight laziness by removing the temptations that surround them. A television in the living room may provide entertainment, but watching too much TV often contributes to laziness. 3 Complete a few tasks and reward yourself with what you enjoy, such as a good dinner or a film. Laziness can also be a lasting problem at home. Couples and children may all have different energy levels, but laziness can be spread if not being dealt with immediately. 4 Be the first to collect and wash dishes after a meal. Others in the home may eventually follow your example and practice their own task. It is difficult to practice laziness when you are surrounded by motivated people. 5 Enough exercise and a balanced diet can help you to develop a healthy lifestyle, thus enabling you to have more energy and help lift your spirits.A. To fight family laziness, set an example.B. Knowing how to fight laziness is important.C. One way to fight laziness is to get enough sleep.D. Finally, taking exercise regularly can help you fight laziness.E. . Create a reward system for yourself, just as parents do for the children.K Sometimes, you feel down or unhappy. 1 So if youre having a bad day and need a boost, then help is just a click away. A website is trying to offer people positive(积极的）messages from strangers to cheer them up. 2 People can present their positive thoughts and feelings to those who are in low spirits here. The website, , lets people post videos of themselves blowing kisses and leaving positive and encouraging messages to lift visitors spirits. 3 And it is considered to help many people out when they feel low. The well-known artist who lives in San Francisco said he came up with the idea when he and his friend Lauren were having one of those bad days. “We tried to become cheerful, but none of the usual methods seemed to be working. Not music. Not food. What we hoped was something positive, honest and good. So with only a camera and work-free weekend, we created The Nicest Place On The Internet.” he explained on his website. One user of the site, Joseph Meehan, 27, from Birmingham, said, “Its a fun and exciting website. I visit every once in a while when Im missing my friends or family. 4 It may even stop them from doing something stupid. You can also post your video to the website, and they add it to the series. Its very easy to share the love.” Mr. Lam is now working on a new project. 5 The idea is that strangers send an audio(声音) diary by leaving a voicemail and then anyone can listen to it.A. The website was created by Jeff Lam.B. It announces to be “the nicest place on the Internet”.C. The project allows people to leave positive voicemails for strangers.D. And it is hard to come back to your high spirit.E. I think it could really be helpful to people that are feeling down or sad.L Have you ever stayed in a hotel? Most Chinese hotels often provide guests(客人) with things like disposable (一次性的) toothbrushes, toothpaste, shampoo and slippers. 1 But, if you travel to Beijing, remember to bring your own things. Starting from June, some hotels in Beijing will no longer provide guests with these disposables. 2 Many disposable things are made of plastic. People throw them away after only using them once. 3 Do you know, one Chinese person makes as much as 400kg of waste a year! Most of that waste comes from disposable things. In Beijing, people throw away about 19,000 tons of plastic bags and 1,320 tons of plastic lunch bowls every year! Plastic can take between 100 and 400 years to break down. So the less plastic we throw out, the better. 4 Back at home and school, you can also do something to make our world a better place. Try to do these things in your daily life: Use cloth shopping bags, not plastic ones. Afte
