【2】 For example, you will pick a course that will determine the types of classes you will specialize in. In high school, you have a set curriculum of classes you have to take across all subject areas. 【3】 During the first two years, you’ll take more general education classes. But during your junior and senior years, you’ll take fewer general education classes.

Another big difference you should be aware of is classes. Now, you’re in school from 7:30 a.m.-2:30 p.m., Monday through Friday. 【4】 In college, you might have a science class on Mondays and Fridays from 10:10-11:00 a.m. Perhaps you’ll have a Chinese class on Thursdays from 1:15-3:00 p.m.

【5】 If you go to a large university, your campus will be your home and might take up an entire town. You might see hundreds of students going out to bars every night. Many colleges are home both to academic and social clubs. In high school your stage is regional. In college, your stage is national-and sometimes global.

A.This will not be the case in college.

B.In college, think about your schedule as a pyramid.

C.Some things will appear similar, but many will be different.

D.Typically, there is a lot more flexibility with your college classes.

E.The differences will challenge your self-management as much as your abilities.

F.The atmosphere and social life in college are also different from those in high school.

G.The other cool thing is that you usually have more opportunities to explore your interests.

Not all education can and should happen within the classroom. Sometimes, traveling is the best form of education, as students can get a number of personal and educational benefits from travel. From learning about other cultures first-hand to seeing where historical events took place with their own eyes, educational travel gives students the opportunity to deepen their understanding of art, science, history, and culture in many ways.

Educational becomes a whole new experience when students can see lots of tools and equipment for themselves by traveling to different places. The tools and equipment could be used by scientists decades or even centuries ago to make discoveries that make our modern world possible. Educational travel brings the materials off the pages and into reality, allowing students to connect themselves with them in a more meaningful way.

No matter where students go, it’s almost guaranteed that they’ll find some kind of food that is unique to that place or done better than anywhere else. If someone gets Chicago-style pizza in Chicago, they’re going to have a different tasting experience than they would if they were getting the same type of thing in, say, Texas. At the same time, getting chili in Texas would be a whole different experience from getting chili in New York or Chicago. Students can learn a lot about a culture by what they eat on a daily basis and what they consider a special meal, so it’s good to take a taste of the local food and learn through all of the senses.

Being away from family, home, and familiar ground is a courageous and independent adventure in its own right. Educational travel provides that opportunity to allow students to open their minds regarding how they choose to live life, which can be extraordinarily helpful in preparing students for college and adulthood. Traveling – with the combined social skills and perspectives(視角) it teaches – really allows students to better understand how they can operate on their own.

A year 【1】 (divide) into altogether 24 solar terms by the Chinese lunar calendar. Start of Spring, the first solar term of the year, begins in early February. 【2】 lifts the curtain of spring, after which everything turns green and becomes 【3】 (energy).

Spring is the best season for kite-flying. With 【4】 available history of more than 2,000 years, the traditional folk activity can help build up one’s 【5】 (strong) and prevent disease. A breath of fresh air outside can release the dirty smell 【6】 (collect) in winter.

In China, an old legend goes 【7】 the egg can be set upright on the first day of the Start of Spring. But according to astronomers and physicists, 【8】 (set) the egg upright has nothing to do with time, but with mechanics. The most important thing is to shift the egg’s center of gravity to the 【9】 (low) part of the egg. In this way, the trick is holding the egg until the yolk (蛋黃) sinks as much as possible. For this, people should choose an egg about 4 or 5 days old, 【10】 yolk is likely to sink down.

We touch our faces all the time, and it had never seemed to be a big problem – until COVID-19 arrived. 【1】 (touch) our faces – the “T-zone” of our eyes, nose and mouth in particular – can mean giving ourselves the 【2】 (dead) virus. This is why 【3】 (organization) like the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) have suggested that we avoid touching our faces. “Just stop this simple behavior,” William Sawyer, founder of Henry the Hand, a nonprofit organization that promotes hand hygiene(衛(wèi)生), 【4】(tell) The Washington Post. “It’s the one behavior 【5】 would be better than any vaccine ever created.”

Yet, stopping this “simple” behavior might be harder than you think because it’s already hardwired(固有的) into our system. Some face touching is automatic – like when there is 【6】 itch on your nose, you’ll scratch it without thinking. Moreover, face-touching is subconscious, 【7】 means it’s very hard to change because you don’t even know you’re doing it. 【8】you’re not alone. In a 2015 study, where a group of medical students 【9】 (film) in class, it was found that they touched their faces an average of 23 times an hour – with 44 percent of the touches being in the “T-zones”. That was particularly surprising since medical students were supposed 【10】(know) better. Since it’s so hard to shake the habit, maybe the easiest way is to wash our hands more often. This way, we can be sure that our hands are free from the novel coronavirus.

Everybody has alineage (宗系). Recently, finding out more about our family origins has become popular. By the start of 2019, 26 million people had taken anancestryDNA test at home, according to a report by MIT Technology Review. They believe by 2021 this number will have risen to 100 million.

This trend has been noticed by opportunistictravel operators. Some are looking to provide a service that both allows people to trace theirheritage－by literally going back to theirroots－and travel to the destinations where their ancestorsoriginatedfrom.

Airbnb, an online lodging marketplace, recently partnered with 23andMe, a DNA testing and analysis company, to offer recommendations that encourage travelers towalk in the footstepsof theirforefathers. And they aren’t the only ones. The Shelbourne hotel in Dublin has its own advisor. Hellen Kelly offers consultations to help gueststracetheir Irishorigin using official records. This allows them to ‘fill in the blanksof their Irish ancestry’, she told Good Morning America. The Conte Club, a luxury travel company, offers customtravels based on DNA tests. “These experiences are aboutexploringdeeper into who we really are,” says Conte Club CEO Rebecca Fielding in an article in the Condé Nast Traveller. “It might be the most meaningful trip we can take.”

So next time you think of going on vacation, why not take a DNA test first? Once you know how far your family has come, take the time to holiday back.
