Once a farmer's daughter began to think and plan while she was carrying her pai1 (桶) of milk from the field to the farmhouse.“I will sell this milk”, she said to herself,“and with the money I can surely buy three hundred eggs. I will put these eggs under hens. And surely two hundred and fifty of them will hatch(孵化). I will feed these chickens, and make them fat. And I will take them to the market when chickens are dear. I will sell them at the market, and with the money, I will buy a new dress. In this dress, I will go to the fair. I shall look so fine that all the young men will ask me to marry them . But I will toss my head, and say NO to them all..”As she said this, she really tossed her head.  Down fell the pail, and the milk spilled all over the ground. That was the end of all her fine plans.

The moral of this story is: Don't count your chickens before they are hatched.

     Life today has brought new problems. One of the biggest is pollution. Noise pollution makes us talk more loudly and become angry more easily. Water pollution makes our rivers and lakes very dirty. Air pollution is the most serious kind of pollution. Both water pollution and air pollution are not only dangerous to our health, but also dangerous to animals and plants.

     Many countries are making new laws to fight pollution. Factories must now clean their water before they throw it away. They can not let out dirty smoke into the air, either. More and more cars are now using a new kind of fuel(燃料) which does not pollute the air.

     Laws are not enough. We must all help. We can use paper bags, not plastic ones. We can keep old cans and plant flowers in them. Everybody must help to fight pollution because we can keep our country clean.

    The speed and convenience of modern travel makes the faraway countries be reached quickly and easily now.

    Even though they now seem closer, they may still be different from your home country. So it is important to change your behavior so that you can get on well with local people. Following are some basic rules that will make communication easier, and your trip more enjoyable.

    First, never raise your voice in order to make yourself understood. If you don't know the word for something in the local language, try to draw a picture or point to the thing. Before you travel, you can also learn some basic words or phrases of the local language, such as words for please, thank you, and may I, as well as basic greetings

    Second, consider the culture of the country you plan to visit and read about the rules related to clothing. You ca bring some clothes such as shirts or T-shirts that cover your shoulders, and long trousers.

    Avoid topics（话题） that you think may be sensitive. If a topic is sensitive in your own culture, it will likely be the same in other cultures. Feel free to show interest in the history and customs of the place that you are visiting, but don't ask questions about why things are done a certain way, because you may make the local people unhappy.

    Keep in mind that in many cultures, showing affection in public isn't allowed. Kissing on the street or in public should be avoided. If you are unsure of how to behave, watch the local people and copy them.

    Finally, if you wish to take a gift, do some research. The idea of the perfect gift is different greatly from country to country, and one of the easiest ways to make someone angry is to give the wrong gift.
