The couple runs a family travel blog called‘Five Take Flight'and recently decided to sell their home in Utah and go on an unforgettable adventure around the world.They plan to leave in July,flying from their home in Utah to New York City,then to Iceland,and the rest of Europe.They'll return to their home city for a two weeks over Christmas,before flying to Hawaii,New Zealand,and finally Asia.It sounds like an incredible experience,but it's also going to be pretty tough to manage with three kids,which is why they've decided to take someone to travel with them and lend a hand when necessary.
"You'll be an honorary member of the family and will be treated with respect and be able to voice your opinion."The travel nanny will be required to handle most of the homeschooling for the couple's two boys,while also looking after their baby sister and also handle some of the cooking and cleaning.
"It's hard to define your exact hours because you will be living with us,but you will have time to yourself every day for sure,and one to two times a week you'll be able to go off on your own."The Tillotsons add that the chosen person will receive a monthly salary of 1200-1500 for their work besides travel expenses and other living costs.However,a number of people have pointed out that the sum is still very low for the requirements.

The day's name began in Philadelphia,where it originally was used to describe huge crowds and heavy traffic that would occur on the day after Thanksgiving.The use of the name started before 1961.Later all alternative explanation was made:"Black Friday"indicates the point at which retailers(零售商) begin to turn a profit or are "in the black".
For many years,it was common for retailers to open at 6:00a.m.,but in the late 2000s many had opened at 5:00a.m.or even 4:00a.m..This was taken to a new degree in 2011,when several retailers opened at midnight for the first time.
Black Friday Shopping is known for attracting aggressive crowds,with annual reports of terrible noise and crowds of people trampling(踩伤) on other shoppers in an attempt to get the best deal on a product before supplies run out.

7.One spring,when I was 10,during one of my father's layoffs (失业),I could tell my mother was unhappy.I decided to cheer her up by buying her a special Mother's Day gift.
One day after school I rode my bike to the Agins,which,I learned years later,was known for its high-end fashions (时尚) and styles.I introduced myself to Sylvia Agins,telling her I was looking for a Mother's Day present.
"Do you think she'd like a purse?"she asked.I told her.I thought she might.
She took out an Italian handbag made of leather.She asked me what I thought,and I told her that my mom would like it.
"How much money do you have?"she asked.
"Twelve dollars,"I said.
"You're in luck,"she told me."It's only﹩11.You have a dollar left over for the card."She gift-wrapped the purse and thanked me for my business,and I rode off home with the package under my arm.
When my mother opened the gift the next Sunday morning,she asked in an accusing tone,"Where did you get this?"
"I bought it at the Agins.It cost me﹩11."I said.
My mother was shocked into silence.
It wasn't until many years later,when I learned that the purse was worth several hundred dollars,that I appreciated just how wonderful Sylvia Agins had been to me.I always felt bad that I never had a chance to properly thank her.
"You know,my son,what really amazes me to this day,"my mother said,"Letting you have the purse for just a few dollars was unbelievable enough.But the fact that she let you leave the store with a dollar for the card was a touch of kindness that I'll never forget."

1.Third Culture Kids
As more cities and companies become increasing international,there is a growing number of children that are creating their own sub-culture.Often (36)A to as TCKs (Third Culture Kids) or Global Nomads,these students have a(n) (37)B impact on the global community.
So who are these Third Culture Kids?They are not a new phenomenon.As one looks(38)B history,there is a realization that certain groups of people have led highly (39)C lives,a key(40)D in describing TCKs.They often(41)C their parents into another country and spend a significant part of his or her development years outside the parents'culture.They are(42)A to new cultures and to other people in the community who (43)D move constantly.Their numbers (44)B into the hundreds of thousands and are increasing.Ease of (45)D and constant relocation of people through multinational companies and global business links contribute to this (46)A.
The question"Who am I?"is frequently asked by TCKs.They have (47)B a host of cultural identities,and have built relationships to all the cultures,(48)C not having full ownership of any.Although elements from each culture are absorbed into TCK's life experience,the sense of (49)D is in relationship to others of a similar background.
As you enter into the world of TCKs,one might suspect they are no(50)C.But it is (51)A,after spending only a short time with them,that they bring a deep knowledge from inside and a special ability to compare(52)B and local issues.They represent many countries and cultures.They are the future cross-culturalists and (53)A future politicians,diplomats,government employees and educators.
They certainly experience a different lifestyle compared to their mono-cultural peers but we can benefit from their global and (54)C lives.So,whatever one chooses to label the international students as---TCKs,Global Nomads,or Global Souls---we will gain unbelievable (55)D.
