【北京】Do you enjoy visiting a museum? Did you ever make a plan before a visit? Every museum must have something that attracts you. And there are many possible ways to enjoy yourself in a museum.
If you follow these steps below, you’ll know what is worth seeing and doing, so that you can make the most of your time at the museum.
Decide what museum you will visit. There are so many different kinds of museums and you first need to find one that you like. It’s easy for you to choose one and start an enjoyable visit!
Do some research online. Every museum now has a website which allows you to look through the information about it. On the website, you may look for such things as:
●The exhibits(展品)—See what is on show at the museum at all times, and what special exhibitions are held for a short time.
●The history of the museum—There will often be very interesting stories about the exhibits and the benefactors(捐赠者). That can make your visit more interesting.
●Activities—See whether there are talks, tours or special activities on the day when you visit. Many museums hold some activities that meet the interests of all age groups.
●Cost, food or storage—It’s important to know how much the visit will cost. You have to decide whether or not you can eat there. You might also need to find out transportation needs, as well as storage for coats, bags etc.
Learn at least one thing on your visit. It is always good to take away something new from your visit.
Plan breaks into your visit. When you walk around, standing here and studying exhibits there, you may become very tired. So it is important to take breaks. A break is a good opportunity for you to think of what you have seen and what else you might want to do in museum.
Take a friend or two. Visiting museums is always a lot more fun when you are with someone else. You can talk over what you’re seeing. A friend also brings another way of thinking when you talk about the exhibits.

【苏州】
From: Wendy and Jack Brown
Date: September 22, 2014
To: 8th and 9th graders at R. L. S. Junior School
Subject: Bonjour!
Bonjour! (That means hello in French.)
We hope you all had a great summer. Ours was a lot of fun. We have seen so many new things and met so many wonderful people. The French gave us a warm welcome and helped us get used to living here soon. We have so many things to share with all of you. We are going to send you more e-mails, but here are the best parts of our holiday in France so far.
We had a fantastic time seeing “the Tour de France” this summer. It is the most famous bicycle race in the world. The riders travel more than two thousand miles in about a month! We got a quick look at the riders as they sped past! After the race, our family rented bikes, and rode along part of the route that the cyclists used.
A few of you asked whether the French really eat snails(蜗牛). The answer is yes. We went out to dinner the other day, and our parents ordered some. We each tried one and it didn’t taste too bad. The snails, called escargots, are served with lots of butter. They feel a little rubbery(有弹性的) when you bite into them, but they don’t really have much taste. Mom’s favorite food here is the French pastries(糕点). Dad loves the red wine. Our favorite is the fresh bread from the shop down the street.
We went to visit the Eiffel Tower a few weeks ago. We went all the way to the top. It was a sunny day, so we could see for miles and miles into the distance. Dad doesn’t like heights, so he stayed at the bottom of the tower and took pictures from the ground.
We miss all of you a lot. Write back to us and let us know what is new at home.
Au revoir! (Can you guess what that means in French?)

The Silk Road
The routes
For centuries, the Silk Road was the most important line of communication connecting East and West. Although the Silk Road covered a huge distance linking modern-day Xi’an with the Middle East and Europe, today one area in particular is associated(联系) most closely with the name of the Silk Road. This area is Xinjiang in Northwest China, through which two major routes of the Silk Road passed on the northern and southern side of the Taklamakan desert.
The name
The Silk Road got its name in the 19th century when a German geographer identified it as the route through which the Romans got their silk from China. However, silk wasn’t the only thing that passed along the Silk Road; anything that had buyers was traded along the road. Goods were traded from market to market passing through many hands before they reached their final destinations.
Buddhism
The Silk Road was not just the route through which goods were carried. It was also important for the exchange of ideas. Buddhism from India entered China along the Silk Road and had a huge influence on Chinese culture. Greek art styles were popular along the Silk Road and gave Buddhist statues in Northern India classical Western faces. These styles from Northern India were also found in Xinjiang.
The people
One of China’s famous monks(僧侣), Xuan Zang, followed the Silk Road in the 6th century to collect Buddhist scriptures from India. Around 600 years later, one of Europe’s famous travelers, Marco Polo, entered China along the Silk Road. Both Xuan Zang and Marco Polo left detailed records of their journeys along the Silk Road.
The Silk Road today
Today, the Xinjiang Autonomous Region remains an international crossroad where traders from surrounding countries and tourists from all over the world regularly meet. Trade in precious stones, food, drinks, crafts, art, and of course, silk, continues, too.
1. For centuries, the Silk Road was the most important line of communication which connected .
2. The Silk Road was named by after he found the route that Romans got silk from China.
3. The Silk Road was not only the route for trade but also an important route for .

Most people want to be happy, but few know how to find happiness. Money and success alone do not bring lasting happiness. Aristotle, a Greek thinker, said, “Happiness depends upon ourselves.” In other words, we make our own happiness. Here are a few suggestions to help you be happier.
The first secret of happiness is to enjoy the simple things in life. Too often, we spend so much time thinking about the future—for example, getting into college or getting a good job—that we fail to enjoy the present. You should enjoy life’s simple pleasures, such as reading a good book, listening to your favorite music, or spending time with close friends. People who have several close friends often live happier and healthier lives.
Another secret to living a happy life is to be active. Many people go dancing or play sports. People can forget about their problems and only think about the activities.
Finally, many people find happiness in helping others. Studies show that people feel good when they spend their time helping others. If you want to feel happier, do good things for someone. You can help a friend with his or her studies, go shopping to buy food for an elderly person, or simply help out around the house by washing the dishes.

【贵港】Different countries have different customs. When you are in different countries, you should follow their customs.
In China, it’s impolite to talk when eating dinner. And you’re not supposed to start eating first if there are older people at the table.
Very often people who travel to the United States forget to tip(付小费). It is usual to tip waiters, taxi drivers and porters who help carry your bags. Waiters expect to get a 15% tip on the cost of your meal. Taxi drivers expect about the same amount.
In England, make sure to stand in line even if there are only two of you. It’s important to respect(尊重) lines there. It’s a good idea to talk about the weather. It’s a favorite subject of conversation with the British.
In Spain(西班牙), it’s a good idea to have a light meal in the afternoon if someone invites you for dinner. People have dinner very late, and restaurants do not generally open until after 9:00 p.m.
In Saudi Arabia(沙特阿拉伯), men kiss one another on the cheek(脸颊). Your host may welcome you with a kiss on both cheeks. It is polite for you to do the same.
In Japan, people usually give personal or business cards to each other when they meet for the first time. When a person gives you a card, don’t put it into your pocket(口袋) as soon as you get it. The person expects you to read it.
Don’t forget to be careful of your body language to express something in conversations. A kind of body language that is acceptable in one culture may be impolite in another.

Animals don’t have a “language” like us. They do not “talk” to each other in words or sentences. But they have their own ways of communicating with each other.
Take the rabbit’s tail for example. When other rabbits see one rabbit’s tail moving up and down, they run away. They know that they are in danger. The rabbit tells other rabbits something without making a sound.
Many other animals use this kind of “language”. When a cobra(眼镜蛇) is angry, it raises its head and makes itself look fierce. This warns other animals. When a bee finds some food, it goes back to its home. It can’t speak to other bees, but it can dance. This tells other bees where the food is. Some animals “tell” things by making sounds. A dog barks, for example, when a stranger is coming. Some birds make several different sounds, each with its own meaning. Sometimes we say in the same way. We make sounds like “Oh” or “Ah” when we are frightened or pleased or when we drop something on our toes.
