We spent the next three days based in Paihia, in the famous Bay of Islands. Although Paihia is only a town, it is a good base for exploring the northern part of the Northland. We spent one day in nearby Waitangi, visiting the site (地点) of the first European settlements and signing of the Treaty of Waitangi, which created New Zealand as it is today.
On the site, there is a fantastic museum which explains the history of the country, as well as the relationship between the European settlers and the native Maori tribes. There is also an excellent example of a Maori waka, or carved canoe, in which the original Maori tribes arrived in Aotearoa, or the Land of the Long White Cloud.
It was a great introduction to New Zealand history and culture and would give us a good basis for understanding the Maori culture that we would meet with as we travelled through the country.
The weather wasn't fit to sailing through the blue, island dotted bay, so the next day we headed across the point to the Kauri Coast and the Waipoa Kauri Forest to see the high Kauri trees, one of the few places in the country where these big trees that once covered the island still exist. Standing hundreds of feet high, with girths that would take 20 men to circle, these prehistoric (史前的) trees were used for everything from wakas to homes. Most were cut down, and only a few still survive. The trees in the forest are over 1,000 years old, and walking along the paths deep into the bush to see them was like walking through land where dinosaurs once walked.
On the way back, we stopped in several small villages and towns, each of which seemed more Shire like. We had almost forgotten that this was Lord of The Rings land, but in the rolling green hills of the central northland, we remembered that Bilbo Baggins and company could have lived here, too.

Jean is a bright young woman who comes from a rich and famous family. She goes to a good university and has everything that money can buy. Well, almost everything. The problem is that Jean's family are so busy that they can hardly find time to be with her. In fact, Jean is quite lonely. So Jean spends a lot of time on her QQ.

She uses the name Linda on QQ and has made a lot of friends who she keeps in touch with quite often.
Last year Jean made a very special friend on QQ. His name was David and lived in San Francisco. David was full of stories and jokes. He and Jean had a common interest in rock music and modern dance. So it always took them hours to talk happily on QQ and sometimes they even forgot their time. Of course, they wanted to know more about each other. David sent a picture of himself: He was a tall, good looking young man with big, happy smile. As time went by, they became good friends and often sent cards and small things to each other.
When Jean's father told her that he was going on a business trip to San Francisco, she asked him to let her go with him so that she could give David a surprise for his birthday.

By May, after three months, I had lost 22 pounds and reached my goal of 115 pounds. My friends would say “Alice you look great!” or “How did you lose so much weight ” Those praises made me feel good and confident.
Soon I dropped to 110 pounds. A few of my friends told me that I need to stop dieting because I was starting to look sick. They brought me a present — a bag of chocolates, which I later gave to my sister. My mum would come to my room, with tears in her eyes, and have long chats about how harmful this diet was and begged me to stop. My dad would leave worried messages on my cell phone at school, telling me that it would do serious harm to my body.

I recalled my doctor. He told me about a girl who was 95 pounds and was at the risk of dying. I knew I was putting my life at risk, but for what

●__19__ Find a place in your home where you can sit in a comfortable chair. Do not lie down unless you're going to sleep. There should be no television or computer near the chair, and no music or noisy family members or roommates. If you don't have a place like this, create one.
●Reduce television or the Internet. If you really want to read more, try cutting back on time on TV or the Internet. __20__ Still, every minute you reduce of the Internet or TV, you could use for reading. This could create hours of book reading time.
