Nowadays more and more people are going abroad on holiday, some of whom even goes on holiday two or three times a year. In my opinion, there are two type of holidaymakers. The first kind always goes to seaside resorts. Their only aim is to have good time sunbathing. They spend their days on the sunshine and their evenings in getting drunk, and then slept soundly. This kind of traveler just needs to pack a pair of sunglasses together with everything that he needs it. The others kind of holiday maker goes to other countries to increasing knowledge of foreign lands. They make use of the chance to take photos, so a good camera is absolute essential. For them, going on holiday is educational. This kind of traveler will move from place to place every few days, enjoying the local food and get a proper feel of a place.

As Apple fans paid attention to every detail, Twitter user, Pratiik Rege, joked that the Apple watch was set at 10:09 in all images because 10:10 was "just too mainstream." He actually may have been .
You may not have but the default setting (默认设置) in advertisements for many new watches is 10:10. Many well-known brands, Rolex and Tag Heuer, set their watches to this time for their advertisements. Could Apple have set their watch at 10:09 to they are ahead of the others? Perhaps, a quick look at other watch advertisements suggests Apple is not the first to the 10 past 10 time. That's because many companies show their watches at this time for artistic reasons. It makes therefore to adjust it by just a few minutes this standard time according to what particular brands think their watch best.
However, it is thought that around 10 past 10 shows the watch at the best .
If the logo is underneath the 12, this time also has the advantage of "framing" the brand name between the two hands. It's also a symmetrical (对称的) time, making it to the eye. Often manufacturers photograph the watch with the second hand in a position emphasises this proportionality (均衡). Another favorite time with clock vendors has been 20 past 8, because of its symmetry. However, 10 past 10 is to be a more "positive" time by brand experts, as it looks as if the of the watch is smiling.
It's likely that Apple decided to set its time at 10:09 to itself within watch-making tradition. It may just be a minute in time, but 10:09 is further that Apple is taking its new watch very seriously, This is not being to as a "smart watch"; this is a watch that both wearable tech and the watch industry should take .

The Health Benefits of Journaling
Scientific evidence supports that journaling (or keeping diaries) provides unexpected benefits. The act of writing accesses your left brain, which is analytical and rational. While your left brain is occupied, your right brain is free to create and feel. In sum, writing removes mental blocks and allows you to use all of your brainpower to better understand yourself, others and the world around you. 1.
Clarify your thoughts and feelings. Do you ever seem all mixed up inside, unsure of what you want or feel? Taking a few minutes to write down your thoughts and emotions will quickly get you in touch with your internal world.
2. By writing routinely you will get to know what makes you feel happy and confident. You will also become clear about situations and be able to recognize people who will not get on with you — important information for your emotional well-being.
Reduce stress. Writing about anger, sadness and other painful emotions helps to release your feelings. 3.
Solve problems more effectively. Typically we solve problems from a left-brained, analytical perspective. But sometimes the answer can only be found by involving right-brained creativity and intuition (直觉). 4.
Resolve disagreements with others. Writing about misunderstandings rather than worrying about them will help you understand another's point of view. 5.
In addition to all of these wonderful benefits, keeping a journal allows you to track patterns, trends and improvements and growth over time.
A. Know yourself better.
B. Achieve goals.
C. People have been studying whether the emotional release brings better sleep.
D.Writing affords the opportunity for unexpected solutions to seemingly unsolvable problems.
E. By doing so you will feel calmer and be able to stay in the present.
F. Begin journaling and begin experiencing the following benefits.
G. And you just may come up with a sensible resolution to the conflict.
Adults are happy to tell their children that crusts (面包皮) will give them curly hair, carrots will help them see in the dark, and spinach will make them strong. Even though adults know it's not totally true, they think it's good for their children's health, a study had found.
In a study about 31 per cent of adults said they once told their children the curly hair tale, and 36 per cent said they'd been told the same thing by their mother or father. Among the over-50s, almost half said they'd been promised curly hair if they ate their crusts. A quarter of the 2,000 adults questioned in the study told their children carrots would help them see in the dark. This could be true to some extent because of the high levels of vitamin A and beta-carotene in root vegetables.
Another favorite among parents is that milk will make one strong. A third surveyed said their parents told them this, and about 29 per cent said they told their children the same thing. But while there is plenty of evidence to suggest milk is good for people's health, there are also a lot of scientific papers saying it isn't.
Thanks to Popeye, spinach is also fed to children, along with the idea that it will make them strong. While there is also some truth in this one, scientists now believe it is not the iron, but the inorganic nitrates (无机硝酸盐) that improve physical power.
One in seven of the surveyed admitted telling their little ones that runner beans will make them run faster, which is nothing more than wordplay and has no basis in science. Almost one in five adults were subjected to the same tale in childhood.
Just over one in 10 parents told their children green food would turn them into a superhero, and a quarter admitted hiding vegetables in meals.
Lyndsay Jones, spokesman for Persil Washing Up Liquid, said, "It's clear that the most persuasive stories about food are passed on from generation to generation. Our research shows that the ideas continue, and we tell our kids the same things our parents told us, even if they're not always entirely true."
Crusts may not make your hair curly, but there's plenty of research that says crusts contain more of the goodness than the rest of a loaf. Hopefully, as a result of our Cook with Kids promise, more parents will be encouraged to spend time with their children in the kitchen and teach them the truth about food.

A. a third people are forced to drink milk by their parents
B. milk is beneficial to children's physical strength

C. Stories about food shouldn't be passed on from generation to generation.
D. Parents can't make sure if some stories about food are totally true.
3.We can learn from the passage that ________.
A. scientists think the iron in spinach helps children grow strong
B. parents are expected to tell children the truth about food
C. runner beans can really make children run fast
D. crusts are said to contain less nutrition than a loaf
4.How is the passage mainly developed?
A. By following time order
B. By making comparisons.
C. By giving examples.
D. By analyzing causes.
Deep in the wilderness of northern Kenya, two boys found a pair of crying cheetah cubs (猎豹幼崽). The cubs' mother had been killed by a lion. The cheetahs were only a few weeks old. In the wild, about 9 out of 10 cheetah cubs die before they are three months old. They are food for lions. But these cubs were so lucky that they were saved by their "heroes", who brought them to Jane and Ian Craig. The Craigs help save endangered animals at the Lewa Wildlife Conservancy.
The Craigs nursed the cheetah cubs back to health — feeding them with bottles, sleeping with them, and comforting them. They named the cubs Sambu and Toki. But what would become of these cubs? How would they survive on their own? In the wild, cubs stay with their mothers until they are almost 2 years old. During that time, cheetah mothers teach their young how to hunt and how to protect themselves. The Craigs wouldn't be able to find a cheetah mother to teach the cubs. So they turned to a man named Simon King.
King has spent more than twenty years studying cheetahs. He gave them a nod of approval when hearing about this, though taking care of two baby cubs would take a huge amount of time. For two years, he would need to have them at his side most of the time. But he felt there was no other choice. And so, when the brothers were one month old, King became their father.
The brothers followed King everywhere. If they saw large dangerous and fierce mammals, King would growl at the cubs the way a mother cheetah would have, which was a signal for the cubs to stay away. They learned quickly. King taught the cheetahs to hunt using a toy rabbit as King pulled it around on a rope. With more lessons and training, the brothers began to hunt on their own. King is one proud father now.
