If you have no special plans for your holidays, why not spend your time helping others?
Don't listen to people who say the young people today often think only of themselves. It's not true at all. More and more young people in the U.S.A. volunteer to spend their school holidays working for others. And they don't do it for money. Here are some of their stories.
Alice, 17 I'm going to help the Forest Center build new hiking paths in the mountains. It's going to be terrific(极好的). I'll spend the whole summer living in the tent and breathing the clean mountain air. I'm going to sleep under the stars. It will be a nice sport, and I'll be able to do something good at the same time. |
Jason, 18 This summer, I'm going to be a volunteer. I'm going to the Special House Program. They can build good, low-cost(低成本)houses and sell them to families that are not very rich. They'll teach me what to do, so I'll help people and also have a chance to learn how to build houses. |
Rita, 19 I'm going to teach kids who have trouble in reading. I'll work for a program called Reading for Life. Every day, I'm going to help kids choose and read books that they like. I want to be a teacher, and I love children and reading, so this is going to be a great experience for me. |

How to Be the World's Best Guest
Do you want to be a popular guest who gets invited back? Read our five top tips (建议) for being a good guest.
{#blank#}1{#/blank#}⑴If you are in a formal(正式) situation, dress smartly: a suit and tie for men, a long skirt and jacket for women.
{#blank#}2{#/blank#}⑵If you are going to stay in someone's house, don't arrive empty-handed. Bring a small present if you are staying for a short time, a bigger one for longer periods. Expensive chocolate works in most situations.
{#blank#}3{#/blank#}⑶To shake hands or to kiss? Wait to see what your host does.
{#blank#}4{#/blank#}⑷Always accept it when offered, whether it looks terrible or delicious. Try to eat all of it and say it tastes good. Most people are proud of their cooking even if they shouldn't be. Don't hurt their feelings.
{#blank#}5{#/blank#}⑸he most important tip for being a good guest is to know when to say goodbye. The secret is to leave while the host is still enjoying your company and wants you to stay longer.
{#blank#}1{#/blank#}Sally often takes a banana to school for lunch. She often puts a banana in her bag in the morning, and when she opens the bag at noon, the banana looks as if someone drove a car over it. {#blank#}2{#/blank#}Rose wants to know whether her breath smells nice or not? But it's difficult to know, because it's very hard to smell the air that comes out of your own mouth. {#blank#}3{#/blank#}John used to have a watch that can tell him the time and temperature during the day. However, it doesn't work these days and he wants to buy something that can be worn more easily. {#blank#}4{#/blank#}It is reported that many people die as a result of breathing smoke or from cooking over wood-powered or coal-powered stoves. Anna wants to buy a cooker to avoid this problem. {#blank#}5{#/blank#}Bruce often reads the news about food safety from newspaper, magazines or TV. It has great influences on people's health. He wants to find something that can help him check whether the food is safe or not. |
A. Apple Watch It can not only tell you the right time and the temperature. It also has a set of technology that can collect a lot of health data. It can record your every movement and even tell you whether you sleep well or not. B. Alarm Fork Well, this special fork has two lights: one green and one red. When the green light is on, it's OK to take a bite of food. The fork "knows" when you take a bite, and soon the red light goes on. Wait for the green light before you take another bite. C. Smell This Smell This is useful for you to make sure your breath smell nice or not. Smell This covers your nose and your mouth, so it is easy to smell the air that comes out of your mouth. D. Banana Suitcase Are you worrying about the banana in your bag? If you put your banana in the Banana Suitcase, it can keep a banana safe, delicious, and looking like a banana! E. "Sol-4" Cooker The cooker is also much "friendlier" than other cookers because it produces less smoke and the user would be less likely to have breathing illnesses from harmful smoke. F. Time Temp Glasses These special glasses show the time above your right eye and the temperature above your left eye. It is surely easier than wearing a watch, and you never have to guess the temperature. G. Kuaisou The new chopsticks, called Kuaisou, are able to pick up a variety of readings on food freshness, acidity(酸碱度) and nutrients (营养). They allow people to take food safety into their own hands through an app on smart phones. |
