　　Traveling can be a way to gain life experiences, especially during Spring Break－a week long school vacation in the United States．But what if you’re a student and don’t have enough money for a trip? Don’t worry．Here are some useful suggestions．

　　●Save：This probably is the most important preparation for traveling．Cut expenses to fatten your wallet so you’ll have more choices about where to go and how to get there．

　　●Plan ahead：Don’t wait until the last minute to plan your trip．Tickets may cost more when bought on short notice．Giving yourself several months to get ready can mean security(安全)and savings．

　　●Do your homework：No matter where you go, research the places you will visit．Decide what to see．Travel books will provide information on the cheapest hotels and restaurants．

　　●Plan sensibly：Write down what you expect to spend for food and hotels．Stick to your plan or you may not have enough money to cover everything．

　　●Travel in groups：Find someone who is interested in visiting the same places．By traveling with others you can share costs and experiences．

　　●Work as you go：Need more money to support your trip? Look for work in the places you visit．

　　●Go off the beaten path：Tourist cities may be expensive．You may want to rethink your trip and go to a lesser-known area．Smaller towns can have many interesting activities and sights．

　　●Pack necessary things：The most important things to take are not always clothes：Remember medicine in case you get sick and snacks in case you cannot find a cheap restaurant．

　　●Use the Internet：The Net can help to save money．Some useful websites include www．Travelocity．com, www．bargains-lowest fare．com and www．Economic travel．com．

　　By planning sensibly, even students can enjoy the travel．Your travel experiences will be remembered for a lifetime．

　　“Who made your T-shirt?” A Geo etown University student raised that question．Pietra Rivoli, a professor of business, wanted to fin the answer．A few weeks later, she bought a T-shirt and began to follow its path from Texas cotton form to Chinese factory to charity bin(慈善捐赠箱)．The result is an interesting new book, The Tra ’s of a T-shirt in the Global Economy(经济)．

　　Following a T-shirt around the world in a way to make her point more interesting, but it also frees Rivoli from the usual arguments over gobal trade．She goes wherever the T-shirt goes, and there are surprises around every corner．In China, Rivoli shows why a clothing factory, even with its poor conditions, means a step toward a better e for the people who work there．In the colorful used-clothing markets of Tanzania, she realizes, th “it is only in this final stage of life that the T-shirt will meet a real market,” where the price of a shirt changes by the hour and is different by its size and even color．Rivoli’s book is full of mem able people and scenes, like the noise, the bad air and the “muddy-sweet smell(泥土香味)of the cotton．”She says, “Here in the factory, Shanghai smells like Shallowater Texas．”

　　Rivoli is at her best when making those sorts of unexpected connections．She even finds one between the free traders and those who are against globalization．The chances opened up by trade are vast, she argues, but free markets need the correcting force of politics to keep them in check．True economic progress needs them both．

　　Most American students go to traditional public schools．There are about 88,000 pub-lic schools all over the US．Some students attend about 3000 independent public schools called charter schools．

　　Charter schools are self-governing．Private companies operate some charter schools．They are similar in some ways to traditional public schools．They receive tax money just as other public schools do．Charter schools must prove to local or state governments that their students are learning．These governments provide the schools with the agreement called a charter that permits them to operate．

　　Charter schools are different because they do not have to obey most laws governing tra-ditional public schools．Local, state or federal governments cannot tell them what to teach．Each school can choose its own goals and decide the ways it wants to reach them．Class size is usually smaller than in traditional public schools．

　　The Bush Administration strongly supports charter schools as a way to re-organize pub-lic schools that are failing to educate students．But some education agencies and unions op-pose charter schools．One teachers' union has just made public the results of the first nation-al study comparing the progress of students in traditional schools and charter schools．

　　The American Federation of Teachers criticized the government's delay in releasing the results of the study, which is called the National Assessment of Educational Progress．U-math education experts say the study shows that charter school students performed worse on math and reading tests the students in regular public schools．

　　Some experts say the students is not a fair look at charter schools．because students in those schools have more problems than students in teaditional schools．Other education experts say the study results should make charter school officials demand improved student progress．
