How to Be a Good Tourist

    We travel not only for work but also for fun and learning. New restaurants, galleries, temples and new architecture…These places are homes for people like us who live and work there. How would you want visitors to behave in your own home? Think about it. There are many ways of doing this without sacrificing our own holiday.

    Do your homework. Guides will help you when you get to the site, but is that the best place to go? Is it popular only because the one-day tourist can see it easily or because it is really a worthwhile place to visit? You'd better check it out.

    Don't go to your hotels for meals. Walk around, even if in the streets closest to your hotel. Eat in local restaurants. Talk to the locals. Learn a few in the local language and use them. You will surely get a smile from the hotel staff and street sellers.

    Help preserve the sites. Most of the sites you visit may be visited by millions of people a year, so care needs to be taken to allow others to enjoy them as well. Some of these monuments are so old and fragile that they are sensitive to the touch of hands or bags and shows. This way, you don't encourage the use of those plastic bags that fly all over many sites.

    And here's the big one—good manners are nearly universal. If that doesn't sound like you，then give the world a break and stay home.

    Years ago, when I arrived to speak at a high school in Louisiana, I heard a lot about a student called Wild Man. Long-haired, plate-throwing…Teachers and students thought 1 of him. Unlike Wild Man, there was a student who had been a 2 to everyone. Zachary was a kid who helped with all the games and dances. But he had a 3, and for years Zach had been in a wheelchair (轮椅) controlled by 4, moving from class to class.

    A month before I arrived, Zach's condition got worse and he 5 an electric wheelchair to stay at school. 6 it, he would have to leave school.

    It turned out that Zach couldn't 7 the new electric chair, so his only 8 was to check out. When the day of Zach's 9 came, all the teachers and students got together in a hall. Zach 10 it was his last day at school.

    The student president was introduced and he then 11 everyone when he introduced Wild Man. Without saying a word, Wild Man 12 Zach and brought him to the center of the stage (舞台). Wild Man then 13 himself and disappeared backstage. Seconds later, he reappeared driving a new and shiny electric wheelchair. After 14 Zach in the chair, he showed Zach how to use it and let Zach 15 around the stage. With tears streaming from their faces, two thousand teachers and students 16 and clapped for five minutes.

    Were they just 17 Zach and the fact that he could now 18 in their school? No, they were also cheering for Wild Man, who got Zach a new 19 by collecting money from his friends.

    So, it's 20: we shouldn't judge (评判) a book by its cover.

    The Gold Coast family holidays are always great fun whether you are from Australia or from abroad. There are beautiful beaches, adventure (冒险) parks, nature parks and so much more.

    There are so many sights to see here. It is a pity to drive in a car and you'll miss a great part of it. Australia is home to many animals and birds that can only be seen when moving slowly and going into the areas where they live.

    When you are on a bicycle, you have the advantage of being able to stop whenever you want to see an interesting animal or bird that you have never seen before. It is a quieter way of transportation as well, so you might even be able to take a picture. When you are on the beach, you can breathe that clean air and view the beauty of the water and sand. It is a totally different experience from passing it in a car.

    There are many choices of hiring (租用) a bicycle to experience the Gold Coast. There are stores that will fit a bike perfectly to your size. These bikes for both adults and children are in many kinds and colors to please any taste. If you have ever wanted to try a tandem bike (双人单车), now is your chance, because they have those too.

    A bicycle hire on Gold Coast is something that everyone should try at least once. This is a wonderful chance for anyone who likes to cycle and it is also a cheap way to travel with your family.

    Discover your skills and talents. Many people look for a job without knowing what talents they have and what skills they can offer their employers (雇主).

    Be friendly.  A positive attitude is the key to success. When you look friendly and you are actually friendly, the others notice that.

    The dictionary seems pretty simple. Words (list) in order, and you simply tum to the right page and find the word you're looking for. But  (actual), there's something you might not know about the dictionary.

    We think of dictionaries as large heavy (book) that include everything. But there were not any simple, common words in early English dictionaries. In the16th and 17th centuries, thanks  the Renaissance's (文艺复兴的)influence, English doubled its vocabulary by (borrow) words from other languages. Throughout the 17th century, many English men published lists of hard words and people turned to the dictionary  (lean) these words.

    Although Noah Webster wasn't  first American to produce a dictionary, his name was closely connected with the American dictionary. To fully research words, Webster learned 26 languages to write his dictionary,  is called The American Dictionary of the English Language. (publish) in 1828, it had over 70, 000 words. After Webster died in 1843, George and Charles Merriam (buy) the rights to revise (修订) Webster's dictionary. Their efforts paid off in the fall of 1847 and the book sold well.
