Dear friends, our junior middle school life is coming to an end. Do you have a good plan for your coming summer? Do you want to go abroad for it? Going abroad can make us relaxed and give us a chance to see a bigger world. Follow these tips to make sure you enjoy your holiday abroad.

    1     Have you packed your passport? Your tickets? Every year, many people miss flights (航班) because of forgetting their passport, arriving at the airport too late, or even going to the wrong airport!

    2     How much do you know about the place you are going to visit? Learning a little about the culture of the country will help you understand the people there. Learning a few words of another language can also help you make new friends.

    3     Try to reduce the pollution you cause. Travel by train if you can. Flying produces twenty times more carbon dioxide (二氧化碳) than travelling by train. Of course, it might be impossible to avoid flying, but when you arrive, use buses or trains instead of taxis.

    4     You can help a local community a lot by staying in local hotels and eating in local restaurants. This means that your money will go to local people, rather than to a large international company.

    5     You don’t want to forget your holiday. Make a scarpbook-a book of memories about your holiday. You can show it to friends, or just use it to remember all the good times you had!

A．Remember to protect the environment.

B．Keep a good memory for your holiday.

C．Don’t travel alone-a friend is needed.

D．Make a good preparation before leaving home.

E．Try to help the local people if you can.

F．Learn something about the place and the people there.

【推荐1】It was the middle of the day on a bright, sunny Saturday, and Jay and his friends Mike and Tony were riding their dirt bikes on one of their favourite cross-country paths. They usually didn’t ride early in the day or in the evening, because hikers and runners liked the path, too.

On this special day, Jay and the other boys stopped to climb a tree on the winding path and find a comfortable branch to sit on. At that time, Jay noticed something shiny on the ground clearly. “What do you think it could be?” he asked Mike and Tony as he pointed to the object shining in the Sun.

They all jumped down from their branches and went to take a closer look. They couldn’t understand what they found. It was a wallet with five hundred dollars inside.

Mike immediately said, “Fantastic! We can divide the money into three parts, and we will each be closer to buying the newer bikes we want.”

“Not so fast,” said Tony. “Jay was the one who found the cash first. To be fair, he should get more than us. He should get three hundred dollars and we should get one hundred each.”

“Are you guys crazy?” asked Jay. “We can’t keep the money. It isn’t ours. Aren’t we more mature than to play finders keepers like we did when we were kids?”

“Stop being such a supporter for honest,” complained Mike and Tony.

“Whoever lost the money wasn’t very responsible and should learn a lesson about walking around with that much cash on them,” added Mike.

“Let’s all go home and think about this,” said Jay.

Mike and Tony agreed to Jay’s suggestion. Jay kept the money, and they all rode their bikes home. They decide to meet again after dinner.

Mike and Tony lived on the same street, so they rode home most of the way together. They were able to talk more without Jay. However, the more they talked, the more they saw Jay’s point. They also thought about how worried they would be if they dropped and lost something that was important to them.

When they met after dinner, Mike and Tony thought that Jay was right. They all rode to the police station to turn in the wallet. The police officer who took the report told them he was impressed by their honest. He also said if no one reported the lost object, it would rightfully be theirs. He recorded Jay’s phone number.

The next morning, a man called the police station to report a lost wallet. When he found out it had been turned in, he was very happy. He asked who turned it in and learned about Jay and his friends.

Shortly after, Jay received a phone call asking him to go to the police station. He was a bit nervous, but when he got there, he learned that the wallet had been reported, and the owner decided to reward the individuals who had turned it in. The police officer handed him a gift card for one hundred dollars at the local bicycle shop.

Jay met up with Mike and Tony later that day and told them what had happened. They all realized that it is better not to be keeper. It was a happy ending for everyone.

① Teachers are often considered to be engineers of the human soul. They are expected to spread knowledge, ideas and truth. There’s one person in China who is called the “teacher of teachers”. He is Tao Xingzhi, a Chinese educator.

② Born in Anhui province, China, in 1891, Tao studied abroad for educational philosophy. When Tao returned to China in 1917 and began his own career as an educator, he did not blindly follow western education methods or theories. In fact, he changed the saying of “Education is life itself” to “Life is education”. Similarly, instead of “school as society (社会)”, he saw it as “society as school”.

③ For Tao, education is an active experience in real-life instead of telling and being told. He supported “unity of teaching, learning, and reflective (反思的) acting”.

④ Besides developing education methods, Tao also tried his best to improve mass education. After doing surveys in Beijing, Tianjin and Shanghai in 1921, Tao was surprised to learn that in China more than 70% of the people in the city didn’t know how to read or write.

⑤ To solve the problem, Tao organized young workers and farmers to study while working. To deal with the shortage of teachers and money, in 1927, Tao set up Xiaozhuang Normal College in Nanjing to train teachers and educators, most of whom became teachers at schools in the countryside.

⑥ In January 1934, he started the “Little Teacher” movement in which young students were encouraged to serve as teachers to others, even to those older than themselves. Under Tao’s guidance, over 18,000 “little teachers” were invited in Shanghai within 10 months. It later included 28 provinces and cities as a key nationwide education movement. Even in the fight against the Japanese army, Tao never forgot his dream. He founded a middle school in Chongqing and offered free education to poor children.

⑦ Maybe Tao’s motto is the best explanation for his life. “Giving a whole heart, yet taking nothing in return, not even a leaf of grass.”

1. What is the correct order of Tao Xingzhi’s life experiences?
a. He did surveys in different places in China.
b. He went to the US to study educational philosophy.
