The only thing better than reading a good book is reading it with others. In a book club, a group of people will find a book. Then everyone will read it by themselves first and then talk about the book with others. Reading is not just something you love doing by yourself. It's also fun to talk about what you' re reading with friends.

There are no rules(规则) of starting a book club. But it's better to have a plan for it. Here it is.

First, before you start a book club, you should think about" What will my book club be like?"" When and where will we meet?"

Then, ask your friends to come to your club. Think of eight to twelve people around your age. You may ask your friends for help, and they can ask their friends to come. These people may be your new club members. And you can make friends with them.

Next, having a topic can also help. The topic may interest members to look up more information about it. You might want to read stories about history. The topic" history" makes it easier to know which books to read. If every time every member helps find a book to read, you might know more great new books and writers.

Finally, make sure to read the book before the meeting. And then come to the meeting with questions to talk about.

In a word, it's better to do than to say. △

①The Christmas party is over. The gifts are opened. Now, it's time for the Christmas tree to" retire" . Every year, people buy lots of trees for Christmas. In 2022, people in the US get about 28,000,000 trees! But where do the trees go after the festival.

②Many cities and countries recycle(回收) the Christmas trees. In Berlin, people take off the lights and toys from the trees and put the trees on the streets. Then the trees go to power stations(发电站). Every year, Berlin recycles about 350,000 trees. They can make electricity(电) for 500 families to use for a year.

③In New York, people always put their trees in parks. There, the trees are cut into small pieces(碎片). The wood pieces can keep the plants warm and health y in gardens.

④Many of the trees go to zoos. Once a year, elephants in Austria get their favorite snack(点心). The trees taste sweet. Some other animals also like them.

⑤Some people like to have fun with the old trees. In Germany, people like a Christmas game. They try to throw(扔) the trees very far. It is an interesting tree- throwing game.

⑥As you can see, the lives of Christmas trees are short, but they bring people so much fun.

When it comes to traveling, most people would choose to go with their families or friends. But now, many are choosing new travel. buddies--their pets. Zeng Qingbin is one such person. Over the past eight years, the 35-year- old from Hangzhou, Zhejiang province, has traveled across the country with his dogs--a Shiba Inu named Chai Chai and a Labrador retriever called Ba Bao. In Zeng's eyes, these dogs are like his children. "I've always dreamed of letting them run freely on wide grasslands with snow-capped mountains in the background," Zeng said. 

As-traveling with pets becomes more popular in China, related services are also growing. 

Zhang Wei, who specializes (专门从事) in pet hiking, has organized about 180 pet trips since 2022. Each trip usually includes two to five professional guides for groups of up to 30 owners and their dogs. " ★  and all the guides are trained to deal with various emergencies (紧急情况) in the mountains," Zhang said. What's more, Zhang's team asks pet owners to fill out a form about their dogs to provide a better service before a trip.

At the same time, airlines have begun offering charter (包租) services for pet owners to travel across the country and even internationally. 

On June 14, China's first outbound (出境的) charter flight allowing pets landed at Shanghai Pudong International Airport after taking 60 tourists and 18 pet dogs to Thailand. There will be more trips to South Korea, Southeast Asia and Europe. 

Though pet tourism is still in its early stages and faces many challenges in China, it is becoming a promising area for exploration in the tourism industry (行业), experts said.
