6 . Visiting a completely new place can bring a lot of excitement, but it can also be a bit scary and confusing.
Secure and double-check your passport.
Once you’ve decided where to go, you need to check whether or not you’ll need a visa to travel. If you visit a country that requires one, make sure that you secure it before your flight. If you fail to do so, you won’t be allowed to board the plane, which can be a huge trouble and a waste of money.
Make sure that you can access your money overseas.
Check with your bank about international fees and whether they have partner banks in the country you’ll be visiting.
Plan your clothes and pack early.

7 . Has your mom or dad ever posted a photo of you on social media that you didn’t want anyone outside your family to see? In an age when people often share personal information on site such as Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram, many parents usually post photos of their children. According to a recent study, a parent will post almost 1,000 photos of a child online before the child turns 5.
Parents often post photos on social media because they want to share their child’s special moments with their friends and family. Some moms and dads do it as a way to connect with other parents. They may have discussions with experienced parents about topics such as how to get kids to sleep or how to deal with kids’ behavioral problems.
Most parents don’t ask their children for permission before posing photos of them. They feel it is not necessary to consult (询问) with their children first because the benefits outweigh any possible risks. Many of them do not fear their kids’ pictures will spread further than intended. Some may even expect unknown people to view and comment on the pictures, and thus meet more new people on the Internet. “The photos I post of my children allow me to know a lot of people I wouldn’t necessarily include on my list.” said Lauren Apfel, a writer and mother of four. “They have helped me create a group on social media.”
Other parents and child experts believe that kids should be consulted. They say that photos can stay online for many years and that kids should have some control over their online photos. Devorah Heiner, an author who runs workshops about kids, is of the same opinion. “Allow your children to decide whether you can share their photos on social media.” she said.

8 . I’ve been into volunteer work since childhood. As a girl, I volunteered at animal shelters, played music at nursing homes, and helped with community cleanup. In college, I volunteered heavily at a large yearly conference (会议), where I first met and fell in love with my husband Tom, who was on my team of co-volunteers.
Volunteering has been a way of life for me and I wouldn’t do it if I didn’t enjoy it. Most of the time, you do feel that you’re making a difference. Once I led a project that provided food to Syrian families. When it was nearing Ramadan, the biggest holiday season in Islam, I filled the food package with nuts, olive oil, sweets... We took the package and arrived just as a Syrian family was sitting on their floor for breakfast. They had nothing but some bread and a pot of tea. The mother cried when seeing us, saying she would never forget our kindness gratefully.
Another time, some friends and I volunteered to a church with only a few elderly residents. The churchyard needed attention. We spent the weekend in the home of one of these old ladies so we could clean and repair the churchyard. I’ll never forget the new life in her eyes as she stayed with us. It broke my heart to remember this old lady with pleasure for such small efforts we made.
Volunteer work is satisfying not because you have done some work, but because your presence has an effect on people around. It makes me grateful for what I have and gives me a chance to serve people.

9 . Places to Visit and Protect
When places are well-known and popular—historical and modern alike—we might think that they’ll be around forever. But many of them are in danger of disappearing.
The Great Barrier Reef
This huge coral reef has suffered from coral bleaching (白化)—caused by climate change. The studies have waned that the damage to it could become irreversible (不可逆的) in the next 10 year.
Old City of Jerusalem
One of the world’s most religious (宗教的) places, the Old City of Jerusalem, is in danger of despairing. Widespread urbanization (城市化) has been found the main reason to the city.
Machu Picchu
Located in southern Peru, Machu Picchu in the remains of a huge stone citadel (城堡) built during the 15th century. Unfortunately, over tourism, the fast urbanization, as well as fires, in recent years, lead UNESCO to working for its protection.
Mount Kilimanjaro’s Peak
Located in Tanzania, its symbolic snow cap might disappear soon. Research found that the snow cap had lost 85 percent of the total area of its ice fields between 1912 and 2007, and the remaining ice could be history as early as 2030.
