Nowadays many people want to have a more interesting experience when arriving in a new city or country. Here are some better ways to travel, both for you and for the environment.

Get out of the car and walk.     1     It’s slower but it’s the greenest way to travel. It’s also the most rewarding way to see a city, but remember to wear comfortable shoes. You can slow down your pace, enjoy fresh air and beautiful scenery along the way.

    2     骑自行车也是一个好的选择。 Many hotels now offer free bikes to guests. It is convenient for people to travel around the city. Some also provide electric bikes that make it easier to go up hills and on longer journeys. Some cities also have Mobikes and you can pick up one easily.     3     它不免费但很便宜。

If you have to take transport in a city, try to take public transport. Most cities now offer lots of information and very cleat maps about the public transport at the city’s websites.     4     So search for them at the websites when you arrive in a city.

    5     If possible, take trains or ships to travel from city to city. They are usually greener than cars and planes.

3 . One day, Bella Broadley and Elyse Partridge were enjoying a picnic on Angels Beach in Australia when a woman approached their group. “We were just having a little picnic at the beach with some friends and this woman came up to us and said, ‘I can’t swim and my girls are drowning(溺水)’and we just jumped into action.” Partridge, now age 20 said.

The two 11-year-olds, Chloe and Violet, got caught in the water and were overwhelmed by the waves. To make things worse, it was around 8 p.m. and getting dark. “It was so rough and it was crazy,” Broadley, 19, said. “I was just swimming out and thinking, ‘Oh my gosh, how am I going to get back in? This is bad.’ But luckily I had the cooler lid(盖子) for part of the way to keep my head above the water and once I got to Chole I just swam hard,” she said. Broadley handed the cooler lid off to Chloe and swam further out to get Violet. Partridge was close behind, and swam Chloe back to shore.

“I remember just throwing my arms around her and trying to swim in, but we ended up hitting the rocks,” Partridge said. “I ended up being quite bruised(青肿) and had lots of cuts all over my hands from the rocks but obviously I’m fine and it would have been scarier in the water.”

Eventually both girls were guided back to safety. Later, Chloe and Violet described how they swallowed seawater and were increasingly exhausted by their fight to keep their heads above water. Violet needed to spend the night in hospital.

Bystanders and police told Broadley and Partridge that without their help, the younger girls would likely not have survived. On Wednesday , Broadley and Partridge were named on the Bravery Honours List, which recognized 66 Australians for acts of bravery.

7 . More than half the world’s population will be regarded as obese by 2035 if action is not taken: the World Obesity Federation warns. Obese is a medical term used to describe a person with an excess of body fat.

Its report says, more than four billion people will be affected with rates rising fastest among both boys and girls. The rates are expected to double from 2020 levels among them. The report predicts the cost of obesity will be up to more than $4 trillion (£ 3. 3 trillion) every year by 2035.

The report also stresses that low-or middle-income countries in Africa and Asia are expected to see the greatest rises. The first reason lies in that people there prefer to eat highly processed foods. In the second place, they are likely to sit too long. Thirdly, in those countries, there are fewer policies to control food supply and marketing. Last but not the least, people there are short of healthcare services to help in weight management and health education.

The president of the federation, Louise Baur, described the report’s findings as a clear warning to countries to act now. If they don’t take any actionthey will be faced with endless bad effects in the future. Baur said that governments and policymakers around the world need to do all they can to avoid passing health, social, and economic costs on to the younger generation. They should find out what are the root causes of obesity.

The data published in the report will be presented to the UN on Monday
