3．China is becoming more and more popular as a tourist destination．When it first re-opened to ordinary foreigners in the early 1980s，it was really a place for the adventurous at heart．Nowadays it is much easier to get to and there are many more choices for traveling around．But is it necessary to travel with a group？What are the advantages of booking with a small group travel organizer？
Usually a travel package includes transport，tickets and accommodation and，often，much more besides．All of these arrangements are handled to save you from the chores-research，selection，queuing，etc．-so that you spend more time seeing and doing the things that you want．
Organized tours usually include local guides at sites so that you get a good knowledge of the site and all that is relevant．In a group you will have various levels of support．Your tour guide and group will be on hand to help with day-to-day issues and there should be some form of organization to deal with major issues．You should be provided with a number to call in emergencies．
However，there are also some disadvantages．Tour packages have a set aitinerary nd by following this your freedom is restricted to some extent．You may feel that there isn't enough time at some sites．Since travel companies aim to make a profit then you can be sure that the prices they charge are higher than if you make the arrangements yourself．The question is，are you willing to pay that for the convenience？
Tour packages suit many people but not all．Only when you know how much you value the respective（各自的）factors can you make a decision．Typically，foreign visitors to China find themselves more willing to join a tour because the language makes it more difficult to travel independently than elsewhere．For some，that is exactly the sort of challenge that will make their travels special．

2．Scientists have linked the"fat gene"with the"happy gene"．They believed there could be genetic evidence which explains why fat people are often happier than their skinny friends．The breakthrough could be an explanation for why fat characters，such as The Laughing Policeman and Father Christmas are often portrayed as joyful and kindly．
FTO is the major genetic contributor to obesity．But it is also associated with an eight percent reduction in the risk of depression．Researchers at McMaster University in Canada had been investigating whether there was a link between obesity and depression．They found the opposite was true．
The study analyzed 17，200DNA samples from participants in 21countries．Results showed people with FTO gene-the fat gene-showed significantly less signs of depression．This finding was confirmed by analyzing in three additional international studies．
Professor David Meyre said，"We set out to follow a different path，starting from the assumption that both depression and obesity deal with brain activity．We thought that obesity genes may be linked to depression．The difference of eight percent is not very obvious．But，we have discovered a molecular（分子的）basis for depression．It is the first evidence that an FTO obesity gene is associated with protection against major depression．
In a recent interview，actress Lisa Riley said she was more than comfortable with her size．She said she is a"big，really happy"girl who is lucky enough to be confident in her own skin，and added，"Many people want to be thinner．Not me．""I genuinely love being different and it drives me mad that people don't believe I'm happy with what I am．"

13．I cannot speak Spanish．It is a fact that becomes extremely obvious whenever I visit my mother because she lives in Argentina，but before sophomore（大二） year，she lived in Puerto Rico．When I was a child，I went to Puerto Rico every summer．We lived in a villa on the grounds of the Westin Rio Mar and had family in the small town of Rio Grande．My lack of Spanish skills was met with a mixture of disdain（蔑视） and fascination at the fact that I was a"unilingual"American．Though I explained to them that I studied French，it did little to convince them．
After months of pleading（哀求） for a vacation in a French-speaking country，we went to the Canadian province of Quebec．I was looking forward to the role-reversal（角色转换）； for once，I would be the bilingual traveler and my mother would be the"Ugly American．"To my surprise，she transitioned（转换） almost seamlessly（无缝），using her broken French as a jumping off point to start conversations．In doing so，she met many people who were eager for a chance to converse in English with a native speaker．
Her ability to connect with others confused me．I did not understand how she could relate to them so easily，that is until I went to Ghana．Though I worked during the day，I was able to spend quality time with the girls attending the Nsaba Diaspora School，a recently built single-sex school in a rural village．They were in the process of learning English and I cannot speak Twi （their language），but we connected immediately．They took me to their classes，showed me the village and worked math problems with me on a chalkboard so we could compare problem-solving methods．
What brought us together was a shared desire to relate to each other and to experience life from another viewpoint．What I took away from that experience was that language does not have to function as a barrier if both sides are willing to look past linguistic differences and acknowledge shared humanity（人性）．

11．On a cold winter Sunday，the little man came up to me as I was about to enter the telephone box and asked me whether I had a match．
"I'm sorry，"I said．"I don't smoke，so I haven't any．You'd better ask someone else．"
He looked rather disappointed，hesitated，and then turned away．I watched him walk slowly down the street beore I picked up the telephone directory to look up the number I meant to dial．I'm not used to a public call box，so，at my first attempt to get through，the warning pips（嘟嘟声） had stopped before I realized I had to insert a coin．When I was at last able to speak，I was told that the person whom I urgently wanted to give a message to had just gone out．Swearing slightly under my breath，I got out of the box and came face to face with the little man．As he raised his hat again，I could see he was quite bald，and a thin line，resembling a dueling（决斗） scar，crossed one cheek．
"Excuse my troubling you again．"he said nervously．"May I walk along with you a little way？I must tell you the truth．I need help desperately．"
He had an unusually deep voice which suggested a strange combination of shyness and self-confidence．I was conscious of a fairly strong foreign accent and I wondered what country he had actually come from．I said that I had to catch a train in twenty minutes'time，but that he might accompany me to the station．
"I'm going to shock you，"he said suddenly，after a moment's silence．"Can you lend me five pounds？I have no money at all．"I have come across many strange characters during my life and plenty of people have tried to borrow money from me．I have generally managed to avoid lending them any．But，perhaps because of the very directness of his appeal，I somehow had the impression that his need might be desperately urgent．
"I'm sorry，"I replied，"I'm afraid I can't lend you anything，as I'm not in the habit of carrying much money about with me．Don't you think the police might be the best people to ask for help？"
He hesitated，"I dare not go to the police，"he said quietly．"If I do go，they will have to send me home．That's what I'm afraid of．I don't know what to do．"He shook his head rather sadly，raised his hat and left me．I caught my train and soon forgot the incident．
It was three weeks later that I happened to glance at an old evening paper and caught sight of a small paragraph at the bottom of the front page："The unidentified body of a short bald man，with a deep scar across one cheek，was recovered from the River Thames yesterday．The police believed he had committed suicide．"I then noticed the date：just two and a half weeks before．
It wasI who might have been the final cause of his terrible tragedy．For days afterwards the cruelty of my refusal made me suffer continual shame and regret．I swore that I would never again refuse any appeal for help．

10．Anne LaBastille was born in New York City and grew up in New Jersey．Her first experience with the wilderness was in the Adirondacks in the northeast of New York，where she worked at a summer resort （度假胜地） to earn money for college tuition （学费） by caring for the horses，giving riding lessons，and working as a waitress．And she had many chances to begin her adventure in the Adirondack wilderness．
Anne returned to school in the fall，but she continued to spend as much time as she could in the Adirondacks．She grew to love her time alone in the mountains．Anne graduated from college with a bachelor's degree in conservation of natural resources （资源） and began working for the National Audubon Society in Florida as a wildlife tour leader．

9．What do you remember about your childhood？I have good memories of exploring（探测） the fields near my house and riding my bike around the park．Today，children don't spend enough time in the fresh air．Many of them fix their eyes on a screen either on a computer，or a TV---they seem to be living in a virtual world．They have lost touch with nature．
Now 400organizations in the UK are encouraging children to have some"wild time"．They want kids to exchange at least 30minutes of watching TV or playing computer games for time playing outside．The simple pleasures of exploring and discovering nature help children to learn and keep fit too．Andy Simpson，who is part of the campaign（倡议活动），says："An extra 30minutes of wild time every day for all under 12-year-olds in the UK would be the equivalent（同等） of just three months of their childhood spent outdoors．"Even if the kids live in a city，they can go on adventures in the garden or the park．However，children often need a helping hand from Mum and Dad．They need to be shown what to do and where to go．
So despite（尽管） the complex（复杂的） world that young people grow up in now，it seems that going back to basics and experiencing"nature's playground"is what modern children need．Andy Simpson adds："We want parents to see what this magical"playground"does for their kids'development，independence and creativity（创造力），by giving wild time a go"．David Bond from Project Wild Thing says，"We need to make more space for wild time in children's daily routine，freeing this generation of kids to have the sort of experiences that many of us took for granted．"

8．I believe children have a very pure sense of humor．Well，I would like to share my experiences with you．
The other day when I was out with a friend and her daughter Jane at a restaurant，Jane ordered an apple dessert，which was the most attractive dish in that restaurant．However，when she had a bite of the pie，she shouted loudly，"Mom，why does it look good but tastes like rubber？"My friend was uneasy．Then the waiter gave us another dish．
A child can say funny things．I was at a friend's home for tea and her son，Mark，wanted her to get up．His mom replied，"I can't，because my foot has fallen asleep now．"Little Mark then sang a song and asked，"Mom，will it wake up now？"We laughed together．
The other day we were having an interesting conversation over lunch and my friend，an animal activist （积极分子），was arguing with another group member．Her son Tommy suddenly stood up，"Mom，people should never be allowed to shoot extinct animals!"That was funny and the child did manage to turn the argument into a pleasant conversation．
