Nowadays, cell phones are part of our lives. Many people have cell phones. They can help us easily find people anywhere at any time. However, using cell phones too often may cause cancer(癌症). It's reported that people who use a cell phone for 10 years or more may get brain cancer.
The suggestions below may help you reduce(减少) the risk of cancer;
When using your cell phone, try to keep it away from your body as much as possible. Don't put it on the bedside table when you go to sleep.
When you're on the cell phone, use the speaker(扬声器). In this way, you have just 1/100th of the contact(接触) with radiation you have when you hold it to your ear. An earphone is also a good idea.
Try to keep your conversations short. If you need to talk longer, use an ordinary phone instead.
Change ears when you're using your cell phone. Before putting it to your ear, wait until the person you are calling picks up the phone.
Your phone gives out radiation when you talk or send messages, but not when you're listening or getting messages. Listening more and talking less can lower the risk of cancer.
Do not use your cell phone when the signal(信号) is weak or when moving at a high speed, for example in a car or on a train. At high speeds your phone is trying to pick up signals, and this increases the radiation it gives out.
Arriving in New York
There are three airports in New York. When you arrive at one of them, you can take a bus or a taxi to any place in New York.
Eating Out
There are many kinds of food in New York and you shouldn't eat at McDonald's every day. There are good restaurants in Little Italy and Chinatown, for example.
Hotels
There are lots of good hotels in New York. The best is The Plaza on 5th Avenue but you don't have to pay a lot to stay in the city; there are lots of smaller hotels and the YMCA near Central Park is great for young people.
Public Transport
In New York, there's a good bus and subway service. If you are planning to use the subway a lot, you should buy a subway ticket for the journey because it's cheaper. But you don't have to use public transport—there are lots of places you can go to on foot, such as the Empire State Building, 5th Avenue and Central Park. The New York taxis are a part of the city experience, so you should take at least one taxi during your visit!
Places to See
Finally, there are a lot of places to see in New York—Times Square, the Statue of Liberty. . . And you shouldn't go home without climbing the Statue of Liberty to enjoy the scenery of the city.
Shopping
Shopping in New York is fun. There are big shops on 5th Avenue. They are open seven days a week. But be careful when you look at the prices; you have to pay a special 8% tax on everything you buy in New York.
Have you ever wanted to see the Great Wall of China, or win an Oscar for Best Director, or swim with dolphins(海豚)? If so, you are not alone. We all have things we want to do or achieve. These are part of our “bucket lists”. A bucket is a list of things that someone wants to experience in his or her lifetimes. These things can be big or small. Have you ever thought about what is on your bucket list? Lindsay, 15, created her bucket list when she was 14. She has given her list serious thought. “I've always wanted to travel into space,” she says. “I d on't really want to be an astronaut. But I do want to go to space as a tourist. I want to see the Earth from above. ” Other things on her list include being on TV, seeing her favorite band in concert, learning how to speak Portuguese(葡萄牙语), and living in a foreign country. “I've always wanted to live in Brazil. As part of my bucket list, I want to attend Carnival(狂欢节)in the capital of Brazil,” she says.
Jose, 16, recently created a list of things he wants to achieve. It changes sometimes-- he adds and takes away things because he wants to keep the number of the things at seven. One thing has stayed at number one, though: he wants to visit a movie set(影视基地). He would like to see the Harry Potter or The Hobbit movie sets. Other things on the list include being on TV, meeting his favorite sports star, living in a foreign country, skateboarding down a mountain, attending the World Cup, and backpacking across Europe. He would like to spend two months visiting Eastern Europe with his best friend Adam. “Maybe after I graduate from college,” says Jose.
Carrie, 14, also has a bucket list. She first created it when she was 12. She would like to live in a foreign country for at least two years. She also wants to learn as many foreign languages as possible . But the number one thing on her list is to see her favorite band in concert. She also wants to go on a trip and to visit a movie set. Her favorite movies are the Hunger Games and Star Wars. Carrie is confident she will do most or all of the things on her bucket list. “I'm only 14,” she says, “I have my whole life ahead of me!”
Waste can be seen everywhere in the school. Some students ask for more food than they can eat and others often forget to turn off the lights when they leave the classroom.
They say they can afford these things. But I don't agree with them.
Waste can bring a lot of problems. Although China is rich in some resources (资源), we are short of(缺乏) others, for example, fresh water (淡水). It is reported that we will have no coal (煤) or oil to use in 100 years. So if we go on wasting our resources, what can we use in the future and where can we move? Think about it. I think we should say no to the students who waste things every day. Everybody should stop wasting as soon as possible.
In our everyday life, we can do many things to prevent waste from happening, for example, turn off the water taps (水龙头) when we finish washing, turn off the lights when we leave the classroom, try not to order more food than we need, and so on. Little by little, everything will be changed. Waste can be stopped one day if we do our best.
Ways to be a great tourist
Being a tourist means you get to experience different cultures, beliefs, people, and food, but it also comes with a level of personal responsibility. Here are some ways to be a great tourist.
Smile and have fun.
This is the most important when you are on holiday. Leave your problems at home. It is free to smile. Have fun, and this is why you come here.
Ask questions.
Don't just sit there and wonder about things. Ask your guide.
If the guide does not have an answer, you can find the answer on the Internet.
We know you are on holiday and everybody wants to have fun stay up a bit late and have a few extra beers but please don't always be the last one on the coach. Your guide and fellow travellers won't be happy if they have to sit on the coach waiting for the one who is always late.
Be sensitive(善解人意的)
Some countries are at war, some countries have a president you don't like and some countries do things in a different way than you are used to. Be open-minded about these things and get along well with your fellow travellers.
Reduce your waste.
Waste management can be a major issue when we are travelling and we as travellers often unknowingly pollute the environment. For example, say no to plastic bags from shops. Instead, put your items in a backpack or a cloth bag.
A. Be on time. B. Respect the locals C. Nothing like a beautiful smile can raise your spirits. D. You will be travelling with other tourists from other nations. E. It's important to take action to help out the environment. F. He/She has plenty of interesting facts and stories to share with you. G . Saving electricity is important. |
