It may have happened to you. Your friend comes back from his travels, gives you a gift, and you think to yourself “he bought this at the airport gift shop”. But every traveling gift-shopper means well! 1. If you’re traveling and buying gifts soon, try these tips.

Support local artists. One thing that is sure to be original is art from local artists. 2. Check out his work. It might show the scenery and history of the place you are visiting. Your friends will love this.

3. If you see locals who have obviously just done a little shopping, ask them where they went! Ask them what they simply cannot live without in their particular hometown. This could be a special kitchen tool, shoes meant for a sport that is unique in that area, even a bottle of the local’s favorite wine.

Make your videos. 4. But think of your parents, grandparents, even brothers or sisters who you don’t see often and who are always asking you to write or call more. Don’t just shoot your weekly email or make that monthly call. 5.

Souvenir shops are the last places for real souvenirs. The only tip you might get from a souvenir shop is that you notice a certain place on many of the postcards. If you see this, ask the shopkeeper where that place is, go there and get a souvenir.

A. Follow that shopping bag.

B. The gift will come with a great story.

C. These may not be necessary for your friends.

Not willing to pay $400 for a basic room or upwards of $1,200 for a suite（套房）at a luxury（豪華的）hotel? We hear you. In the past, this meant having to put up with cheap hotels. Essentially, you got what you paid for. But all that’s changed, as mid-level hotels have begun competing for a population that travels more then ever. Even in New York and San Francisco --- two of the most expensive cities in the country --- one can find comfortable, affordable options with much modern conveniences. We searched the country for the best hotels under $150.

Hotel 340

St. Paul, Minnesota, USA

This twelve-storey（層）English-renaissance（文藝復興）building once served as a downtown clubhouse for St. Paul’s outstanding people; today, the repaired structure houses the hotel on the top three floors. Its 35 rooms stand out for hardwood floors, marble showers and nice views of the Mississippi River, and room comforts include iPod docks（基座）, free local and national telephone calls and coffee makers. The University Club of St. Paul, a grand hall bar, and an all-new-60,000-square-foot fitness center（free for guests）also share space in the building.

Marina Inn

San Francisco, California, USA

Located in the Marina district, where the streets are lined with luxury stores and great restaurants, the Marina Inn is the ideal place for business or pleasure. Few destinations offer the quality and variety of environment, scenery, entertainment, accommodation, and dining that waits for you here at the Marina Inn. It’s a ten-minute walk to Fisherman’s Wharf and there are abundant bus connections to take you anywhere in the city.

Hotel Havana

San Antonio, Texas, USA

When one thinks of his historic Texas town, usually the southwest comes to mind. So does Mexico. Since 1914, the hotel has served passers-by. The 27 rooms come in all shapes and sizes, many of which include Turkish carpets and elegant Cuban art on the walls. Bathrooms are distinguished with Red Flower body care products.

Dennis Sinar, 51, a doctor from New York, is quick to explain why he took a year- long break from his job. “ I was pretty burned out after practicing medicine for 26 years. I needed a recharge.” So he took a “ gap year”, from July 2011 to June 2012, to explore things like ancient buildings, and traditional Eastern medicine, in locations including Alaska, Nepal and Romania.

“ Taking a break from work is an excellent way for adults to go into a new career or refresh an old one,” said Holly Bull, president of Princeton,N,J. “ In recent years, mid-career breaks have been gaining more interest,” she said. A report on adult gap years published this year by a market research company also desbribed the potential American market for gap years as a “ sleeping giant.”

“ A gap year is a challenge for the older individual to step out of comfort zone and take a risk. I enjoyed that side most.” Said Dr.Sinar, who kept a daily blog about his experience. His time studying Eastern medicine at his old job, although he works fewer days. “ I use those experiences to provide my patients with more care,” he added. “ And I listen better than I did before.”

Geoge Garrian, chairman of the Department of Leadership and Human Capital Mangement at New York University , certainly agrees with Dr. Sinar. He said a gap-year experience could be worthwhile for employees and companies. For employees, investing in themselves and improving skill sets is a move that will benefit throughout their career. He added that returning employees feel refreshed and have given more thought to their career. For companies, offering unpaid leaves makes good sense for attracting and keeping talented employees.

1.Dr. Sinar took a gap year because he ______.

A. had lost his old job

B. wanted to refresh after 26 years’ work

C. had a desire for travelling

D. became interested in historical research

2.The phrase “sleeping giant”( in 2nd paragragh) indicates that_____.

A. it’s too early for people to accept the concept of gap year.

B. the effect of gap year policy remains to be seen

C. it’s difficult to foresee the gap year market

D. more American people will accept the gap year policy

3.What’s George Garritan’s attitude toward the “ gap year”?

A. positive B. Doubtful C. Uninterested D. uncertain

4.What’s the passage mainly about?

A. How an adult plans a mid- career gap year

B. Why a gap year is worthwhile for adults

C. Whether a gap year is popular with adults

D. Why a gap year is challenging for individuals[

The Himalayas are mountains that are located in South Asia. They are a part of Nepal, India, Pakistan, China and Bhutan. The mountains are the highest in the world, reaching almost 9,000 meters sea level. The Himalayas separate the Indian subcontinent from the inner part of Asia. The word Himalaya means “ home of snow”.

14 mountains are over 8,000 meters high, among them the K2, Nanga Parbat and Mount Everest, at 8,848 meters, the world’s highest mountain. The Himalayas extend over 1,500 miles( 2,400km ) from the Indus valley in the west to the Brahmaputra Valley in the east.

Many of the mountain peaks are sacred to the people who live in the surrounding areas . Hindu and Buddhist pilgrims go there and pray to God.

The Himalayas belong to the youngest mountain ranges in the world. They were formed when the Indian subcontinent, which was originally a part of the southern landmass, drifted to the north and crashed into Asia. This movement started about 70 million years ago and has been going on up to the present day. The Himalayas are still becoming taller, moving at about 7 cm per year. Earthquakes and volcanoes are evidences that the area is still very active.

Glaciers and permanent snow fields cover the higher regions of the Himalayas. They are the source of streams that flow into the two big rivers of the region. The Indus flows to the west and through Pakistan into the Arabia Sea. The Ganges and Brahmaputra flow to the east and get together in Bangladesh. They form the largest delta in the world.

1. How many countries do the Himalayas belong to?

A. 7 B. 6 C. 4 D. 5

2.Why do Hindu and Buddhist pilgrims go to Himalayas and pray to God?

A. Because they live in the surrounding areas.

B. Because they believe the mountain peaks are sacred.

C. Because the word Himalaya means “ home of snow”.

D. Because the Himalayas are the youngest mountain ranges in the world.

3. What does the author stress in Paragraph 4?

A. The process where the Himalayas were formed.

B. Earthquakes and volcanoes in the Himalayas.

C. The forming of the Indian subcontinent.

D. The landscape features of the Himalayas.

Summer is the season of family travel. 1. Here are our top 5 things to teach your children before entering big crowds:

How Far They Can Go — 2. For young children, you should set a rule of always holding a parent’s hand. For older kids, you may be comfortable with a “I can always see you and you can always see me” rule.

To Call Your Real Name — Teach your children that you will find them, so it’s best if they stay in one place. What’s more, teach them to call out your full name instead of “Mommy” or “Daddy” to help you more easily find them.

How to Identify a “Safe Person” — Make sure your children know the best people to approach if they get separated from you. Employees working at the place you‘re visiting are generally always good, “safe people”. But what about places that may not have employees, like the beach? 3. Experts say that moms are often the most willing and best-equipped people to help kids.

What to say — 4. Remember that if your children do get separated from you, they will likely be panicked (恐慌), so don’t assume that they will know how to tell strangers that they are lost. Role-play getting lost and using simple sentences like, “I am lost” with your kids to help them know what to do if it actually happens.

Their Personal Information — Make sure your children know as much basic personal information as possible, including their full names, parents’ full names and telephone numbers and the address. 5.

A. Teach your children to look for a mom with kids.

B. Sometimes it’s not hard to find a safe person in such places.

C. But do your kids know what to do if they get separated from you?

D. If your kids are too young to remember them, write them down!

E. It can be hard for people to help a lost child.

F. Tell your children to behave normally when they get lost.

G. It’s important to talk with your children about how close you expect them to stay to you.
