  If you’re away for a week or two, whatever you do, pack light.

  This especially applies if you are on a tour and are moving from place to place, when heavy luggage has to be loaded and unloaded from taxis, trains and planes.Unnecessary heavy luggage will spoil your mood before you’ve even arrived.Here are a few tips to keep your pack and your look light and carefree.

  1.Use a medium-sized case, or, best of all, a good-sized carry-on case to prevent long waits at the luggage carousel(传送带)at the airport.

  2.Lay out everything you think you’ll be needing on your trip, and then pack half of the items.Remember, less is more!Hardly will you require more than two pairs of shoes on any summer trip, one sweater, a couple of T-shirts or tops, two pairs of trousers-or even better for women, two of your dresses-a swimsuit and underwear.If you do take separates, make sure they are matching colors so that you can get maximum(最大限度的)use by mixing them.

  3.Take only the necessities.Most hotels have such things as soap and shampoo now, so don’t trouble with a ton of toiletries unless you have sensitive skin.

  4.Do you really need to take that hairdryer?If you don’t want to give your hair a rest, then don’t forget to pack an adapter(转接器)to make sure you’ll still be able to use your hairdryer.

  5.Line the bottom of your suitcase with trousers, letting the legs hang over the outside edge.Then pack the rest of your travel gear(用具), with lighter materials on top.Wrap trouser legs over the pile.

  6.Use the inside of shoes to save space:put underwear, your swimsuit and a rolled up belt in them.

  7.Wrap anything that might break or leak in plastic bags to prevent accidents.

  8.Relax-you’re on vacation!

Help or Not

Dear editor,

During last year's winter holiday, I went shopping with my grandmother. We saw several beggars. Some of them were disabled, which made me feel sad. Among them were old people, young people and even children! When I wanted to help them, my grandmother stopped me. She told me they were not worth showing mercy to because some beggars cheated people out of their money. Should I help them?

                                                                                           Yours,

                                                                                           Mary from Guangzhou

Dear Mary,

       While I understand your grandmother’s point of view, I think that just because some beggars have cheated people, this doesn’t mean you should never help any beggars.

       Showing mercy to people who are not as fortunate as us is one of the kindest things we can do. While some beggars may use dishonest means to get money, most beggars will not. Even those who use dishonest means are probably hungry for food and feel they have no choice but to cheat people. It is important to be careful for your own safety. But if you want to help, you don’t necessarily have to give it to beggars in the street.

       Another way you can help is by donating money to the China Charity Federation. Visit its website at: www. china charity. cn.net.

19. Mary felt sad for _______.
