How do you go to find a place to stay in if you travel in the USA Well, plenty of hotels advertise(登广告) at the airports. If you arrive by train or car, probably the best thing to do is to look in Yellow Pages under Hotels, Motels(汽车旅馆) or Lodgings(出租房). You can start by comparing the services offered in their ads. In any case, you' ll have to call them and see if they have the room you are looking for.
Places to stay in may be called hotels, motels or motor hotels, inns(乡村小旅店), lodges(小屋) or resorts(旅游胜地). They are all similar. Motels with plenty of parking space are usually near a freeway(高速公路) or highway(交通要道). Inns are usually like motels. They are in the mountains. Resorts and lodges are on the coasts(海岸) or near the lakes.
Beds also go by many different names. Starting with the smallest, there are single, twin, double, queen- size and king- size ones.“ Long boys” are specially prepared for tall people. At some hotels, queen- size is the smallest size used, so a double room has two for two. Some hotels even offer their guests water beds.

Challa lives in Ethiopia, Africa. In 2017, she was 16 years old. She saw a group of boys skateboarding in a parking lot. At the time, skateboarding was still pretty new in Ethiopia. The sport was mainly played by men, just as it is today. But Challa decided to change it. She wanted girls to experience skateboarding. So in 2020, she started Ethiopian Girl Skaters (EGS) with her friend Micky Asfaw. The club provides free skateboarding lessons to girls and young women.
EGS members can have lessons on Saturdays at Addis Skatepark. Even though they come from different backgrounds, they can get not only skating skills but also friendship and happiness.
Skateboarding was popular in California in the 1960s. But it didn’t take off in Ethiopia until about 10 years ago. In traditional Ethiopian society, girls should stay home and help their parents. Adults (成年人) are unwilling to let their daughters join the club.
“Everyone in the club helps each other,” Challa says about EGS and its members. “That’s how we try to build our sistership.” Kids in the club don’t need to buy skateboards for themselves. They can use boards freely. “Now we’re trying to open a shop so that more people in Ethiopia can feel the same joy they get from skateboarding,” Asfaw says.

In October, temperatures across China begin to go down. Do you have a mood change as it turns to winter Many people do. For about 5% people in the northern half of the United States, cooling temperatures and shorter days usually mean the start of seasonal affective disorder (季节性情绪失调), or sadness, arriving in the fall or winter. It usually starts with the appetite (食欲) for foods like French fries or ice cream. You may want to sleep for long hours, have difficulty getting up in the morning and feel tired at work.
The exact (确切的) cause of sadness isn’t clear. But the good news is that we know it has something to do with the changing seasons. So you can do something to get away from it. The doctor will use light therapy (光疗法) for sadness. But you can only do that in the hospital. Getting outside can also help with it.
