Travelling for business or pleasure can easily damage your health. It's easy to fall into the trap of high caloric meals and little exercise.
Keep a dictionary on hand
If you are travelling somewhere with a different language, pack a dictionary and keep it close to help you decide the menu and make healthy food choices. Look up the words that you don't understand to help you learn about cooking methods and ingredients so that you can choose healthy food.
The more you can research before your trip, the easier it will be to keep a healthy lifestyle while travelling. To stay on track with your food, try to find a nearby grocery store or healthy food store, look up a couple of good restaurants that offer some healthy choices, and try to stay somewhere with a fridge or a kitchen.
Walk every day
Exploring where you want to travel on foot is an amazing way to take some exercise. Walk through nature to enjoy its beautiful scenery, listen to the sound of nature and take some wonderful pictures.
Rent a bike
Cover more ground while burning calories by renting a bike. Many major cities have bike-sharing projects, or you could call a local bike store to ask about bike rentals. If you have an open schedule, you could even research bike tours, which are a great way to explore a long distance in a short time.
A. Take a bike map of the city, research day trips and get exploring.
B. This is also a great way to find hidden attractions that aren't in the travel guides.
C. Avoid junk food and deep fired food.
D. If you are exercising while travelling, make sure you take in enough water. E. You can't avoid deep fried food if you don't know it's in there.
F. Here are some healthy travel tips which will keep you in good health. G. Research the food and store some when arriving.
The clock struck eleven at night. The whole house was quiet. Everyone was in bed except me. Under the strong light, I looked sadly before me at a huge pile of that troublesome stuff they call “books”.
I was going to have my examination the next day. "When can I go to bed?" I asked myself. I didn't answer, in fact I dared not.
The clock struck twelve. "Oh, dear!" I cried, "ten more books to read before I can go to bed!” We pupils are the most wretched creatures in the world. Dad does not agree with me on this. He did not have to work so hard when he was a boy ."
The clock struck one. I was quite desperate now. I forgot all I had learnd. I was too tired to go on. I did the only thing I could. I prayed, “Oh, God, Please help me pass the exam tomorrow. I do promise to work hard afterwards, Amen.” My eyes were so heavy that I could hardly open them. A few minutes later, with my head on the desk, I fell asleep.
Nowadays, more and more people enjoy watching plays in the theater, so do my wife and I. We'll go to the theater whenever we have time. But before we buy tickets, we would like to know whether the play is good or bad. In other(word)，when a new play comes, we usually decide whether to watch it or not accordingthe information about it on the newspaper. Last week a new play was put on in the theater. The newspaper said it was very(interest)，so we planned to go on Saturday night. It took my wife a long time(make)her decision about what to wear and we left our house a little late. By the time we got to the theater, the first act(start). To our relief, we(permit) to enter the theater. When we found our seats, we were recognized by an old friend, seat was next to mine. (short) after the play was over, we went dancing. By the time we got home, it was about two o'clock in the morning. I'm not used to staying out so late and I was extremely tired.
I didn't have the money to go out for an evening like thisI was younger. Now I can afford it, but I don't have the energy to enjoyCD.
Saving a drowning woman is all in a day's work for two boys who had already collected their swimming and lifesaving merit medals (功绩奖章).
A June heavy storm hit Columbia in Missouri with little warning, causing floodwaters from rivers to burst their banks and overflow zones to turn into ponds.
When 15-year-old Dominic Viet and 16-year-old Joseph Diener passed a basketball court that had turned into a pool, they heard the frantic shouting of a young woman desperately trying to keep her head above water under the force of a current. The boys had seen the girl swimming with a friend there before, but it was now obvious she was drowning.
"The first thing that came into my mind was to get into the water," Dominic recalled. "We didn't have time to think, her head was barely above the water and we could see her sinking more down every second. We didn't think about the risks, we had to get her out."
Heroes will do as heroes do, and pulling her up onto their shoulders, Dominic and Joseph got her ashore, where emergency services arriving at someone else's call performed first aid and rushed her to the hospital.
Floodwaters are no conditions to be swimming in. There can be waste water runoff, loose chemicals, downed power lines charging the current with electricity, or pieces of wood, metal, or brick, etc.
Assistant Fire Chief Jerry Jenkins described the boys' act as heroic and courageous. The fire department honored the two boys with a "Citizen Life Safety Award".
Learn to Live in the Present Moment
To a large degree, the measure of our peace of mind is determined by how much we are able to live in the present moment. __24__
Without question, many of us have been used to spending much of our lives worrying about a variety of things — all at once. __25__ We also postpone our satisfaction, our priorities, and our happiness, often convincing ourselves that “someday” will be better than today. Unfortunately, the same mental power that tells us to look toward the future will only repeat themselves so that “someday” never actually arrives. John Lennon once said, “Life is what's happening while we're busy making other plans.” When we're busy making “other plans”， our children are busy growing up, the people we love are moving away and dying, our bodies are getting out of shape, and our dreams are slipping away. __26__
Many people live as if life were a dress rehearsal (带妆彩排) for some later date. It isn't. In fact, no one has a guarantee that he or she will be here tomorrow. Now is the only time we have, and the only time that we have any control over. __27__ Fear is the concern over events that might happen in the future — we won't have enough money, our children will get into trouble, we will get old and die, whatever.__28__ Practice keeping your attention on the here and now. Your efforts will pay off.
A. When our attention is in the present moment, we push fear from our minds.
B. We allow past problems and future concerns to dominate our present moments, so much so that we end up anxious, frustrated, depressed, and hopeless.
C. Tomorrow is a mystery, yesterday is a history, only today is a gift, and that is why we call today the present.
D. Most of us are used to resting hope on future, ignoring the present moment.
E. Living in the present moment is where you are always, regardless of what happened yesterday, and what may or may not happen tomorrow.
F. In short, we miss out on life.
G. To get over fear, the best strategy is to learn to bring your attention back to the present.
One cold day, Mariko and her dad were walking to the store.
“I’m tired of winter,” said Mariko.
Dad waved at their neighbor. “I bet Mr. Hill wishes spring would come too.”
Mariko looked up to see Mr. Hill in his window. He waved, and she waved back. “Mr. Hill loves his garden,” said Mariko. Mr. Hill had the prettiest spring flower garden. It was full of tulips(郁金香)and daffodils(水仙花).

At the store, Mariko helped Dad choose milk, bread, and carrots.
“You may choose a treat for yourself, Mariko,” said Dad.
Mariko thought an apple would taste good. But suddenly something else caught her eye. She pulled on Dad’s sleeve. “Oh, Dad, look, daffodils!”
Dad smiled. “Is that the treat you want?”
Mariko nodded.
Mariko couldn’t stop looking at her daffodils all the way home. But when she got to Mr. Hill’s house, she stopped. She looked up at the window.
“Wait here. Dad, please,” she said. “I’ll be right back.”
