3 . Summer is the perfect time to relax. As you plan for your trip, here are some tips on how to protect yourself.
Fight against the mosquitoes in the hot spots.
There are many mosquito-borne illnesses in tropical regions, which are traditionally vacation hot spots. Therefore, mosquito repellent(驱蚊剂)that contains DEET should be an essential item in your travel bag.
In lesser-developed countries there is less equipment for clean water and public health. If you can't avoid unhealthful water, make sure you bring along a tea or coffee—making pot that will boil water for you. You’d better buy a case or two of water and check that all bottle caps are sealed to assure the bottled water isn't just a refilled bottle of dirty tap water.
Always protect your feet.
It's best to wear slippers in the shower, but if you must be barefoot, put a towel down on the floor.
Be sure to eat safe fruits.
Enjoy the smell of roadside stands, not the food.
Unless the food is piping hot when served, it’s best to stay away from roadside stands, no matter how good the smell of the food might be. If you are concerned about whether a restaurant is clean, order the food to go.
A.Don't trust the local water |
B.Any fruit served fresh may be polluted |
C.Look out for any water not served in a bottle |
D.The boxes may be cleaner than the plate or fork on the table |
E.You should know how to keep yourself away from dirty fruits |
F.They are necessary to avoid coming back with a major illness from your trip |
G.Parasites(寄生虫)can enter the skin of your feet and travel to different parts of the body |

5 . London has a lot of famous museums, and the most popular one among them is the Science Museum in London. It is the most friendly museum in London. As is known to all, shouting and running are not allowed in most museums, and touching the exhibits(展品)is also forbidden. But the Science Museum in London is different. It is noisy! People talk about what they can see and do here, and there are some very noisy machines as well. If you want answers to any of your questions about science, this is the right place for you.
In its rooms on the second and third floors, you can learn some knowledge about communications, the environment, maths, physics, chemistry and so on. For example, you can understand how people dig coal(煤)from the ground and use it to create energy. And in one of its rooms, you can also have a chance to know how X-rays let you see inside your body.
The Launchpad on the third floor is the most popular room because you can experience lots of physics experiments in it. For example, if you want to fill a bag with sand, you have to control a kind of truck on wheels and move it into the correct place. You can also find out how people travel into space and back again by spaceship.
On its fourth and fifth floors, you can learn about what medicine was like in the past. Compare the medicine of the past with the medicine of today, and you will feel very lucky to see a doctor in the modern hospitals!
