There are plenty of fun activities you can enjoy during your camping trip.     1    , autumn season offers lots of activities that make your outdoor adventure more fun! Here are some fall camping tips to make your trip more memorable.

Schedule for the cool weather. Even though summer just ended, you should be prepared for cool weather. Autumn weather is very unpredictable.     2    . You wouldn’t want your trip to be ruined because you keep waking up in the early morning because of cold weather.

    3    . An important thing to keep in mind is that the days are shorter during cool seasons. More importantly, food takes longer to cook when the weather is cold, so schedule your cooking times to make sure that you enjoy your meal times. Be sure you cook dinner and clean up before the sun goes down.

Be careful with bears. Any camper knows that it is quite important to protect themselves from bears and other wildlife. But we must be extra careful during fall season.     4    .

Go apple or pumpkin picking. There are lots of apple trees in the country where you camp.    5    , consider apple picking during the day. To get even more fun out of autumn, you can choose to go pumpkin picking. You can also bring your own pumpkins to carve around the campfire! The kids will love it.

B．Prepare your meal and enjoy it as soon as possible

C．If you’re lucky enough to have one near your campsite

D．Whether you are camping by yourself, or with your friends

【推荐3】Starting university can be a costly experience for most students. But thankfully, with a little know-how, you can gain the benefits of being a student with a lot more cash in your pocket than you would have expected.     1     Checking out these top money-saving tips might be helpful.

Save money on food.

Student life doesn’t have to be about empty cupboards and living off takeaways or ready meals.   In fact, it can be useful habit to compare the price.     2     One of the easiest and most efficient ways to do that is by using a price comparison site.

Use student transport discount.

We have a love-hate relationship with public transport.     3     Luckily, most cities have local bus operators that offer student’s passes, which are much cheaper that standard tickets.   These can usually be used at all times of the day, including peak travel times.

    4    

Going out to a nightclub can be expensive. So take full advantage of student offers, where drinks are cheap and entry is often free. Be sure to keep an eye out for any freebies and special student offers advertised at local restaurants, cinemas and high street shops.

Spend less on textbooks.

Before you rush out and spend your entire student loan on books, check your lecture outlines and figure out which books you really do need to own, and which ones you can just borrow from the library.    5     And you can also share the cost with your classmates.

A．Use student offers when socializing.

B．Students shouldn’t go to the nightclub.

C．Shop around and find the cheapest option.

D．Being a money-saving student has never been easy.

E．Remember all your textbooks are available in the library.

F．While it may be essential to use public transport, it’s not always cheap.

G．If there are some you need to buy, see if you can get a second-hand copy.

【推荐1】Children grow quickly, especially their feet. But many families cannot afford new shoes each time a child needs them. As a result, about 300 million children around the world go barefoot（赤脚的）. Those children risk picking up diseases from the soil. An American man may have a solution for those barefoot kids—a shoe that grows with the child.

Kenton Lee is the creator of The Shoe That Grows. He explains how the shoe works and how it’s able to last so long. “It grows in three places; the front, on the side, and on the back. It can last up to five years. The bottom is like tire rubber. The top is just high-quality leather.”

The shoe comes in two sizes: small that fits children aged 4 to 9 and large for children aged 9 to 14.

Lee got the idea for the shoe while working as a volunteer in Kenya. However, it was not easy to turn his idea into a reality. Finally, in 2009 Lee founded a non-profit organization called Because International. In the office, he kept a pair of his own shoes to help him remember his promise.

Because International works with several partner organizations. Together, they’re sent more than 50,000 pairs of shoes to 70 countries. Most are going to East Africa. And then also a lot of shoes go to Haiti, some of the Central American countries as well. Many of these areas do not have good sanitation（卫生设备）, and illness spreads easily.

A pair of shoes, he says, gives more than protection. It gives a child self-worth and more chances to succeed. Because it’s a small thing that really makes a big difference to keen them healthy and happy and having more chances to succeed. Kenton Lee adds that his goal is to help get The Shoe That Grows to as many children as he can around the world.

【推荐2】Several interesting American museums tell about health subjects. One is the Doctor Samuel D. Harris National Museum of Dentistry. It is at the University of Maryland in Baltimore. That is where the first college in the world to train dentists began. The museum tells about the history of the medical treatment of teeth. Visitors can see some frightening devices that once were used to remove infected (受感染的) teeth. They also can see sets of teeth made of animal bone. They were made for a famous American -- the first President, George Washington.
Most people do not consider a visit to the dentist their idea of a good time. However, the director of the museum says he wanted to make the museum a fun place to visit. He says he also wants to teach visitors about the importance of taking care of their teeth.
Another museum collects devices that help people hear. The Kenneth W. Berger Hearing Aid Museum is at Kent State University in Kent, Ohio. The museum has more than three-thousand hearing aids from around the world. They include old and strange devices. Some hearing aids were made to look like other objects. That is because in the past many people did not want anyone to know they were wearing a hearing aid.
