There are many reasons why I encourage people to travel，and I know that the experience will make one a better person．

I remember when I was traveling，I began to know the world better．The world is not just about me，my small town and home．Although you will meet different people from all over the world，you will realize that people are similar in their dreams， hopes and feelings．Enjoy exploring（探索）the different cultures，and you will also find that people are different in some of the things they do and how they live．Once you understand their ways，it will not be strange or scary（吓人的）．Often we read stories about other cultures in books．Only when we visit their areas，do we find that those stories are something wrong．

One thing you may find out is that there are problems all over the world．We can't just get money to send to these areas and hope that will work them out．The world should get involved（干预）and help wherever there are problems．People everywhere should be given a chance．It is so easy to ignore（忽视）this if one does not travel or explore．One can look around and see that so many people have many challenges（挑战）worse than ours．One can realize that sometimes our biggest problems are not that big after all．

On your journey you will meet lots of new friends．Talking to strangers and finding about their lives is a great way to spend your time．You will certainly be more confident after having to deal with problems and make many decisions along the way．

When you travel，you have to be on your own in some situations．You will surprise yourself by how well you can do that．All your special experiences could make an interesting book to read．It would be filled with your special memories．

Traveling around and seeing so much happening in the world around us is a wonderful experience．If we could all just travel a little more and share our experiences，we would all be better people and the world would be a better place．

Everyone needs friends．There is an old saying"Friends are God's way of taking care of us．"But how do you find real friendship and keep it？

The American writer Sally Seamans tells young students some smart ways to find friends．Sally says finding friendship is just like planting a tree．You plant the seed and take care of it to make it grow．

First，you should choose a friend．What makes a Good friend？It is not because a person has money or good looks．A good friend should be kind and patient．For example，if you have a bad day，a good friend should listen to your complaints and do his or her best to help．To make a friend，you can not be too shy．You should make each other happy and share your lives．But things cannot always be happy．Even the best have fights．What should you do when you have a fight with your friend？You have to talk to him or her．When there is no one around，have an honest talk．If he or she doesn't want to talk，you could write a letter．

There are three steps to being friends again：

Tell him or her how you are feeling； say what your friend has done wrong，and explain why you did this or that．Remember that friendship is the most important thing in your life．

Friends are very important for us．Anyone needs friends．It is nice to have a friend to talk，laugh and do things with．Certainly，sometimes we need to be alone．We don't always want others around us．But we would feel lonely if we had no friends．

Not two people are the same．Sometimes friends don't get on well．However，it doesn't mean that they no longer like each other．Most of the time they will make up and become friends again．Sometimes friends move away，we feel very sad．We miss them very much，but we can talk with them on the phone．We can also make new friends．It is surprising to find out how much we like new people when we get to know about them．Of course，we won't forget old friends forever．

There's more good news for people who have friends．They live longer than people who don't．Why？Friends can make us feel happy．Being happy helps us stay well．Or it could be just showing that someone cares about us．If someone cares about us，we will take better care of ourselves．

Fill in the blanks according to the passage．Only one word for each blank．

It's necessary for anyone to have friends．However，friends （71）　　be with us all the time．Nobody is （72）　　to others completely．Two friends may have dirfferent opinions but it doesn't mean they aren't friends any longer．Maybe they are （73）　　from each other they still miss each other，（74）　　if they have made new friends．（75）　　friends care，people can live better．

Five Ways to Fight Germs（细菌）

57．Always wash your hands with running water and soap before you eat anything，after

you use the bathroom and after you sneeze or blow your nose．The germs won't stand a chance．

59．You should always buy pets from a good pet shop and take them to the animal doctor regularly．Keep pets as clean as possible and always wash your hands after you play with them．

A．Use a napkin	B．Use a fridge
C．Love your pets	D．Keep off public places

Everyone needs help sometimes． People depend on one another． That's why communities have special people ready to lend a helping hand to anyone who needs it．

For example， what would we do without a community fire station？ If a home catches on fire，as the Jackson place did last week， it might be burned down and people get hurt..or worse． We re so lucky to have firemen to come to save people and put out the fire， safely． If the fire station hadn't come so fast， the Jacksons might have lost everything．

And what about our local police who protect our families， our homes and valuable things？The police have helped so many families this past year，especially saving people and pets and protecting our houses and other things after the heavy rains．

Think about all the other service workers we have in this community． We have people who collect waste and rubbish and keep our community sanitary ．We have road workers who put up and repair traffic signs and fix holes in the streets to protect not just us， but our cars! And where would this community be without the teachers in our school and the doctors， and nurses in our community hospitals？

Think again about what we eat every day； think again about what we wear every day． We cannot produce them， but we use them all the time． We get a lot from all these tireless workers who keep our community running． We need these people in the community． We depend on each other． Let's support each other and help each other． Only in this way can we make our community a better place．

"Volunteering makes you look at the world differently． You see how little things can change a person's life for the better， which makes everyone a better person．" Mason， a volunteer said．

National Volunteer Week started in 1974 and is held every April． It is a time to thank volunteers for their achievements． It is also a perfect opportunity （机会） to encourage others to take their first step toward becoming a volunteer． Making the decision to take the first step can be the biggest problem， because they often wonder if they will be able to meet the organization's expectations （期望）． Some people fear not knowing anyone else in the group． Not having enough time also prevents some from sharing their abilities．

The following tips can help if you have some of these worries．

★ Start out slowly， don't add too much pressure． Even a few hours a month can make a big difference in someone's life．

★ Choose an organization with the same interests and common values．

★ Take part in a training meeting for new volunteers， even if it is not asked．

★ Work with a veteranvolunteer． He volunteered a lot， he can help you increase the confidence and completely understand the organization's expectations．

★ Invite a friend or family member to serve． It is a good experience to volunteer with them．

★ Finally， it is most important to enjoy the volunteer experience and to remember that not all volunteer experiences are perfect． If one experience doesn't work， don't give up and you'll surely find the right opportunity．

Dear sir，

I think you should be more serious about your business．

Truly，

Where does your food come from？How is it made？These days，many people worry about food safety．But food safety is not a new worry．In 1906，Upton Sinclair wrote the Jungle．The book is the story of a poor family in Chicago．It is also about the dangerous ways that food was prepared．People were so worried that the U．S．started testing food．

These days，most food in the world is safe．Laws control where food comes from．They also control how food is managed and prepared．Laws are important． But it's more important to make sure the rules are followed．A good food safety system（系统）keeps people safe．It also helps them eat healthy food．Labels（标签）on food give people important information．Then they can make good choices about their food．

Although food safety systems usually work，there can be problems．Sometimes mistakes are made．For example，a truck might carry eggs and then ice cream．The ice cream could make people sick when the truck isn't cleaned before carrying it．Other problems are not mistakes．Sometimes companies break rules to make more money．When this happens，people don't know if their food is safe．

As we all know，food is closely related to our daily life．We should take actions to make food safer！
