Whether you prefer to be in the woods, mountains, or swimming in the river, camping is wonderful.Before you just take off and go there are a few things you should know about before you leave. First of all youll need your boots, a tent and of course a backpack. The right boots are an important thing that youll need. Packs come in all different sizes. For over a week you will need at least a 6,000-inch pack. Your tent should have the main tent, the rain fly(防水布), along with the support(支撑) poles（柱，杆）, and these hold up your tent. You should also bring along a piece of ground cloth. This is a piece of plastic that goes under your tent. It can keep your tent dry and clean from the ground.During the camping, always remember to keep your things dry and keep them in a zip lock bag. Use fires only when you must. Fires scar the land. If you do use a fire make sure to use it in the fire rings if possible. Keep noise level down. This way youll have more of a chance to see wildlife. Always remember that hiking is depending on your personal health. Never be afraid to ask your hiking partners to stop for a break. Its important.Finally, keep your camera close by. Make sure you dont miss out on the natural wonders. Youll enjoy them later. Its simply great fun to go on camping!21 .

In most towns today, you can see teenagers standing over electronic machines with flashing lights, shooting at spaceships from other planets and dropping bombs on strange monsters. The machines have names like Space Warrior, Dark Invader and so on. It used to be believed that damage was done only to those strange visitors from outer space, but now it seems that they are striking back. Many teenagers like electronic games so much that they cant stop playing. They spend hours tightly holding the joystick controls and constantly pressing buttons marked” fire”. They develop pains on their fingers because of the constant pressure. They play and play so that the pains have no chance to cure properly. The rapid wrist movement required to guide the spaceship across the screen causes another problem: The muscles of the wrist and arm become so inflamed (发炎的)and swollen that they press against the bones.
