If you want a more interesting experience when you arrive in a new city or country, here are some better ways to travel, both for you and for the environment.
Way 1 Get out of the car and walk. It's slower but it's the greenest way to travel. It's also the most rewarding（有益的）way to see a city, but remember to wear comfortable shoes.
Way 2 Cycling is also a good choice. Many hotels now offer free bikes to guests. It is convenient for people to travel around the city. Some also provide electric bikes that make it easier to go up hills and on longer journeys. Some cities also have mobikes, and you can pick up one easily. It's not free but very cheap.
Way 3 If you have to take transport in a city, try to take public transport. Most cities now offer lots of information and very clear maps at the city's website.
Way 4 If possible, take buses, trains or ships to travel from city to city. They are usually greener than cars and planes.
Way 5 When the only way to travel is by car, rent(租) an electric car. Many car rental companies now offer them, so always ask!

An old saying goes, “When in Rome(罗马),do as the Romans do.” I learned the of this when I studied in Russia.
One day I invited some of my Chinese friends to a famous local restaurant in Moscow. My guests and I were from visiting Red Square and happy about our meeting. We had a warm chat until the waiter told me that we were being too loud. We turned our voices .But this didn't last long. The waiter came over to us two more with the same message.
How bad an impression(印象) we must have left on the local people! In China, it's and important for a host to make a atmosphere(气氛).However, in Russia and countries, having a meal in a public place means you must keep your voice low. You need to be polite to others.
I felt bad about this. Even though we tried our , it's very difficult to develop a new habit.
Russians have their own special habits. My Russia friend, Andrey always looks around and thinks for a while before leaving home. I asked him why he did this. “Aha,” Andrey said, “in Russia, people always take about a minute over things and plans in their minds before leaving. So they won't leave anything necessary behind.”
Finding the between cultures is much fun. I'd like to keep my eyes and mind open.
As time goes by, are you still the same person you were? Many of you would think you are. You could be a completely different person when you get old. Psychologists(心理学家) at the UK's University of Edinburgh did the study on a group of Scottish people. In 1950, a group of teachers gave over 1200 14-year-old students personality tests.They were self-confidence, sense of responsibility ,perseverance(耐心), strong wishes to win, creativity and moods(情绪).
In 2012,researchers successfully found 174 of those 1200 students and gave them a test similar to the one they had received before. They were surprised to find great changes to all six personality traits of these people. It was “ as if the second test had been given to different people.” the study reported.
In the past, personality was widely believed to be unchangeable. This new study may bring some fresh ideas to the world.
A.They tested six basic personality traits. B.Then they compared the then-and-now test results. C.They wanted to know if people's personality was unchangeable.

Oct. 16 is World Food Day. The UN started the day in 1979. It's used to remind people not to waste food and fight hunger.
A big number of people in the world still don't have enough food to eat. Food shortage(匮乏) is a big problem worldwide. Right now, there are more than 1000 million hungry people in the world according to the UN. Many children go to sleep hungry, and 15 million of them die of hunger each year.
There are several reasons why there are food shortages. First,there have been more droughts(干旱) and floods recently. Also,a growing population makes feeding everyone more difficult.
Another big reason is food waste. Most people don't realize how much food they throw away every day. Sometimes we cook too much, or we don't use it goes bad. The average(平均的) person throws away 50kg of food every year. According to the UN, more than third of all food produced worldwide goes to waste each year.
That is over 1,300,000 million kilograms of food being wasted. The amount of food wasted in Europe can feed 200 million people, and the food wasted in Latin America can feed 300 million a year.
So think twice next time you want to throw away food.By cutting down on food waste, we could help put food on the empty plates of some hungry children. Only order as much food as you can eat at a restaurant. If you can't eat all you order, take the rest home. Don't be too picky about food so that you don't leave any on your plate. Some food may not taste great, but your body needs it. Keep an eye on what food you have at home. Don't buy too much. Don't cook too much.
When you throw away food, you are not just wasting the food itself. Resources(资源) are also wasted while growing, transporting and cooking the food. These things all take energy, time and water.
