I always take my vacations at home．But this summer，I want to do something different．I'm going sightseeing．Next week I am leaving for Hainan．I am staying there for two weeks．Then I'm going to Tibet．Of course，I'm taking a lot of photos．I can't wait!

   I think the best place for a summer vacation is the seaside（海滨）．I'm going to Hawaii on August 1st．It has fantastic beaches and I like the sand，the sea and the sun．I'm staying there for three weeks．There are lots of exciting things to do there．

   This summer vacation，I'll be busy．I'm going to Europe to visit my grandparents in Paris and my uncle in London．I plan to go to New York，because I want to meet my pen pal Tony．

    When people find something valuable and return it to its owner，they are often given a reward．This is because the person not only found what was lost but also spent time finding its owner or taking it to the police station．

    There was once a young boy who found a woman's purse in a shopping center．Inside the purse there was some money and the woman's driving license．Her name and address were printed on the license，so the boy knew where she lived．That evening he went to her house and knocked on her door．When she opened it，he said，“I found your purse，''and handed it to her．

    “Thank you very much，”she said．She opened her purse and took out all the money．She wanted to give the boy a small reward，but there were only bills of$20 in the purse and she thought that$20 was too much to give the boy．“I'm sorry，”she said. “but I don't have any small change to give you．”

    The boy said，“That's all right，”and he went away．

    A few days later he found another woman's purse．It also had her driving license in it，so he knew where she lived．He went to her house and said．“l found your purse ,”and handed it to her．

    “Thank you very much，"she said．  She opened her purse and took out all her money．

    “That‘s strange，”she said．“Before I lost my purse l had a $100 bill and a $20 bill in it．Now I have a $100 bill ,a $10 bill and two $5 bills．''

    “Yes，"the boy said，and smiled．

It's possible to get ill at any time of the year, however, it seems that more people get sick in winter. So why does this happen?

The biggest reason is that the cold weather brings us indoors. Spending more time indoors can make us get close with others but it will be easier for us to catch a cold or flu(流感). Moreover, according to scientists, the virus(病毒) is protected(保护) by its own fatty coating(脂质外层), but this coating changes into liquid(液体) at higher temperatures(温度). So the virus is less able to travel in summer. In colder weather, the coating keeps complete(完整). That's why the virus will get into our body easily.

What's more, the air is drier in winter both indoors and outside. The dry air is good for the travel of viruses. Therefore, viruses can travel farther and stay in the air for longer. Besides, in winter, we often close our windows and doors to keep warm. Less fresh air indoors helps viruses live longer in a room.

What about other reasons? Cold weather may be bad to our body and immune systems(免疫系统). A study found that to lower the temperature inside the nose by 5℃ kills nearly 50% of its virus-fighting cells(抗病毒细胞).

In order to stop illnesses, here are some tips for you. We should do more outdoor exercise to keep our body strong. It's a good way to take a walk with your close friends and enjoy the fresher air in the park on weekends. Besides, washing our hands can often lower the travel of viruses.
