As we all know, travelling can be an excited experience. Let me give you some suggestion that you have to pay attention. You can find out more about your destination by surf the Internet before you set out. You needn’t take too many cash. Since it can be very convenient to pay in cash, using cheques is much more reliable. In additional, it will be wise of you to take an umbrella in case of it should rain. If you are to travel abroad, you’d better understand the cultural diversity. Keep it in mind that being politely in foreign countries can help you had a wonderful trip.

Although problems are a part of our lives, it certainly doesn’t mean that we let them rule our lives forever. One day or the other, you’ll have to stand up and say ----- problem, I don’t want you in my life.
1. Problems with friends, parents, girlfriends, husbands, and children – the list goes on. Apart from these, the inner conflicts within ourselves work, too. These keep adding to our problems. Problems come in different shapes and colors and feelings.
But good news is that all problems can be dealt with. Now read on to know how to solve your problems.
Talk, it really helps. What most of us think is that our problem can be understood only by us and that no talking is going to help. 2. Talking helps you move on and let go.
Write your problems. 3. When you write down your problems, you are setting free all the tension from your system. You can try throwing away the paper on which you wrote your problems. By doing this, imagine yourself throwing away the problems from your life.
Don’t lose faith and hope. No matter what you lose in life, don’t lose faith and hope. Even if you lose all your money, family… you should still have faith. 4.
Your problems aren’t the worst. No matter what problem you get in life, there’re another one million people whose problems are huger than yours. 5. Your problems might just seem big and worse, but in reality they can be removed. Go about and solve your problems because every problem, however big or small, always has a way out.

Are you good with money？I learnt to be careful with it during my childhood. My father would give me some pocket money and tell me it should last for a whole week. So，I learnt I had to save some if I didn’t want to run out of cash quickly. No surprise there：my dad was an accountant！
It's never too early to become money savvy（会理财）．That's what British personal finances expert Martin Lewis thinks. He was part of a successful campaign to include financial education on the school curriculum in England. It will be embedded(植入）in maths and citizenship education. This includes children from 5 to 16 years old.
Lewis says：“We desperately need to break the cycle of financial illiteracy(无知）in the UK—one of the causes of our current economic crisis and a huge contributor to continued mis-selling epidemics（违规销售）．”
Being careful with money pays off. Banks in Britain recently found themselves having to pay a large number of people who were persuaded to spend money and buy insurance policies they didn’t need. Many wasted their money on investments which were not for them. Few have the patience to read the small print.
The British say‘take care of the pennies and the pounds will take care of themselves’．It means you have to watch your daily expenses and not just the big purchases in your life such as houses.
Martin Lewis has made millions from his website which advises people to be thrifty(节俭）and refuses any suggestion that he is mean. The expert says in an interview with the English newspaper the Daily Express：“the better you are with your cash，the better your life can be. People think I am telling them to stop spending money but I am simply telling them to spend it wisely.”

Many kids don't drink enough water daily, according to a new study. The study's lead author, Erica Kenney, at first planned to look into the amount of sugary drinks kids were drinking in schools. However, during her research she found that many kids were simply not drinking enough water.
Kenney and her team examined data from a group of 4,000 children, aged 6 to19, between the years of 2009 and 2012. The data was taken from the National Health and Nutrition Survey, a study on the health of children in the United States conducted each year by the Center for Disease Control and Prevention..
While looking through the survey results, she noticed that more than half of the kids who took part in the study were dehydrated (脱水的). Of' that group, boys were 76% more likely than girls not to have enough water in their system. Nearly one quarter of the kids in the survey reported drinking no plain water at all.
“These findings highlight(突出) a possible health issue that wasn't given a lot of attention in the past," Kenney said in a statement. “Even though for most of these kids this is not an immediate and great health threat, this is an issue that could really be reducing quality of life and well-being for many children and youth."
The United States-National Agriculture Library says average kids need between 10 to 14 cups of water every day. This water can come from a mix of drinks and foods that contain high amounts of water, such as celery, melons or tomatoes. It is also recommended that fluids（液体）come from water instead of sugary drinks that are high in calories and can lead to weight problems.
1.What was Erica Kenney's purpose in doing the study?
A. To study if kids drink enough water daily :
B. To prove that sugary drinks are harmful to kids
C. To show what kind of sugary drinks kids love.
D. To find out how many sugary drinks kids drink at school.
2.According to the findings of Erica Kenney's study, we know that ________.
A. school kids cannot find drinkable water easily
B. boys are more likely to get dehydrated than girls
C. sugary drinks are very popular with school kids
D. most kids know the importance of drinking plain water .
3. From the last paragraph we learn that kids________.
A. should drink plain water to lose weight
B. can try to take in water from sugary drinks .
C. can eat celery, melons and tomatoes for water .
D. should drink no more than 10 cups of water every day
