Travelling is one of life’s great joys. It’s a way to see the world and learn about places you’ve never been before. Travelling can widen one’s knowledge. The farther you go, the more you will learn about different economics, customs as well as geography. If you travel the whole world, some day you will fully understand the globe on which you live.
You may go on a trip to some place in the coming summer holiday. Please read the following passage carefully.
One bag, that’s it.
The importance of packing light cannot be overemphasized(过度强调). Limit yourself to 20 pounds in a carry-on bag. A 9’×22’×14’ bag fits under most airplane seats. And after you enjoy that sweet mobility and freedom, you’ll never go any other way.
You’ll walk with your luggage more than you think you will. Before leaving home, give yourself a test. Pack up completely, and practice being a tourist for an hour. Fully loaded, you should enjoy window-shopping. If you can’t. go home and thin things out.
Packing light isn’t just about the trip over and back—it’s about your travelling lifestyle. Too much luggage marks you as a typical tourist. Changing locations becomes an important operation. With only one bag, you’re mobile and in control. Take this piece of advice seriously. Pack light, and pack smart. These days, you can’t bring anything possibly dangerous—such as knives, lighters or large amounts of liquid—in your bag.
What to bring
How do you fit a whole trip’s worth of luggage into a small backpack or suitcase The answer is simple: bring very little.
Bring out everything you think you might need on the floor. Pick up one item at a time and check it. Ask yourself-not“Will I use it ”,but—“Will I use it enough to feel good about carrying it all the say The world is getting really small—you can buy Colgate toothpaste, Nivea cream(妮维雅霜)and Gillette razors(吉列剃须刀)in almost every country.”
Think about what you can do without—not what will be convenient on your trip. When in doubt, leave it out.

A. learn about different economics, customs as well as geography.

Germs(细菌)are everywhere. You can’t see them, but they are on your desk, on your computer, and even in the air! Like people, germs move around the world. They fly with us on planes. When food, clothes, and other things travel around the world, germs travel, too. Some germs are safe, but some are dangerous. Germs cause illnesses like colds and the flu.

In a 2017 study, researchers sampled a range of surfaces in 22 participants’ homes, from counter tops and floors to computer keyboards and mice.
