They give us the chance to see some sights, have some fun and relax. However, holidays arent always a great experience. Follow these tips to make sure you enjoy your holiday.1 . Have you packed your passport? Your tickets? 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.2 . 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.3 . 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.4 . 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.5 . 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? Dont forget to do it! Then next time you go on holiday, you can visit them again.ARemember the environmentBKeep a good memory for your holidayCTravel with your friendsDDo some researchEGet organizedFHelp the local population二、完型填空Food is important.

The news is welcomed by millions of Chinese who were punished in the past for having more than one child. The new policy will give a chance to couples where one of the parents is an only child, to have two children.The one-child policy is depended on rewards（奖励）and punishments. Couples are fined（罚款）thousands of dollars if they have more children than allowed, and many lose their jobs and money. On the other hand, couples are given longer holidays for giving birth late. However, the one-child policy has caused some problems for the country. People prefer raising boys to girls. It is said that there are 32 million more boys than girls under the age of 20 today! Because of the drop in the number of children, there wont be enough young people going into the factories. Today, for every person that stops working, there are six working adults. But by 2040 there will be only two working persons to support four old ones.This new plan is the first real step（步骤）to give up one-child policy. However, for many in China, the cost of raising children is still too high to think of larger families. In fact, it is also a big problem.31 .

Walking together, my father and I used to have a lot of conversations through which I learned lessons from his experiences. He always told me, “You should have goals like climbing the mountain.” Without the mountain-climbing that we both enjoyed, we couldnt have enough time to spend together because my father was very busy. I really got a lot from the mountain-climbing. It gave me time to talk with my father and to be in deep thought as well as develop my patience.Once we climbed a very high mountain. It was so challenging for me because I was only ten years old. During the first few hours of climbing, I enjoyed the flowers and trees, and the birds singing. But as time passed, I got a pain in both of my legs. I wanted to quit（放弃） climbing, but my father said to me, “You can always see a beautiful sky at the top of the mountain, but you cant see it before you reach the top. Only there can you see all of the nice things, which is just like your life.”At that time, I was too young to understand his words. But later after that, I got to know the meaning of hope in life. I found myself standing at the top of the mountain, and the sky was as clear as crystal.41 .
