We were thrown from side to side against the guardrails (护巴). It took some time before we slid to a stop, but unfortunately our car was totally destroyed.
Only minutes later, a car stopped by and the driver asked how he might help, With his help, my husband was able to have our car taken to Rapid City. Then he drove us to a hotel in the city. He made sure we were safe before he said good night and left. The next morning, the driver returned and drove us to find our car so that we could take back our valuables. He lost at least half a day of work, all for a family he had never met and would never see again.

5 . Everyone loves travelling, right? Unfortunately, money can sometimes be a problem. Here are some tips for gaining better travel experience, regardless of your bank savings!
Tip 1: Decide where you’ll go based on your budget.
The cost of your trip can depend greatly on where you want to go.
Tip 2:
Yes, everyone loves the luxury of a five star hotel. But sadly, in a lot of places, this is just not realistic for those on a budget. That’s why whenever I travel to countries which are expensive, I choose to stay in hostels or campsites. Hostels are a sure way to meet potential travelling companions while also saving money.
Tip 3: Don’t always rely on restaurants.
Another advantage of staying in hostels(招待所)is that you will always have access to a kitchen. Eating in a restaurant can be very expensive,
So you see, if you come prepared, you can easily travel the world,
A.Choose hostels and campsites |
B.no matter what your budget is |
C.so you can easily save by cooking your own meals |
D.So, knowing the average costs in a country can help you plan your trip |
E.Camping is also a great choice for budget accommodation, especially if you enjoy the outdoors |
6 . Nowadays, schools still focus on traditional subjects more than modern subjects. Many subjects can not meet the needs of the future jobs. I completely agree with the statement that schools too much concentrate on traditional subjects.
To begin with, schools must be more flexible in the education because every student will choose and follow the different ways. So they need a different knowledge’s source. For example, the technology development is becoming a vital part in modern society which demands a number of skilled workforce (劳动力). As a result, if students are skilled in using computer or machine, they will achieve success in their career.
In addition, the traditional subjects always teach a lot of theories than skills. That is the reason why many students feel bored when studying them, such as history, literature or geography. But people can ignore them because all the subjects are concerned about culture and the society’s problems. So the education system should be improved. Instead of researching lessons in class or books, we need to hold the meeting or game shows to exchange knowledge and skills between students. Besides, schools have to add some soft skill subjects.
In conclusion, the traditional subjects are still being concentrated too much, Schools should improve systems so that students can acquire many new things and meet the needs in the world of work.

8 . If you’ve always wanted to grow your own fruits and vegetables but could never quite make the time for it-technology is here to help you.
At first glance, technology and farming don’t go hand in hand, but that’s old school thinking. In this day and age, technology and farming are a perfect match. With cheap sensors (传感器), simple phone apps, and available equipment, you can build your very own farming robot.
Give it power, water, and Wi-Fi, and it will take care of the rest. FarmBot can plant water, weed, and monitor the soil and plants with an array of sensors. All you need to do(is harvest the produce once it’s done.
FarmBot is an open-source robot developed by a company. It runs on tracks, and uses game-like open-source software. Everything is customizable (可定制的) and adaptable. You design your land and drop plants onto a virtual map of your land, The seeds are spaced automatically, and you can apply different growing plans. It can be controlled by a phone, tablet, or computer.
FarmBot is an example of precision farming-a series of tools and techniques that enable farmers to optimize (充分利用) their resources and increase harvest, while also (being more sustainable. For instance, a soil humidity sensor lets you know when it’s time to water the plants, or a nutrient detector lets you know which areas (if any) need anymore nutrients.
Back in the day, precision farming would require heavy and expensive equipment. But recently, the miniaturization (小型化) of sensors, together with the use of smartphones; Internet, and apps, has made it much more accessible, FarmBot is taking that idea and applying it-no green thumb (特殊园艺才能) required.
