Travelling abroad，for business or pleasure，should be a fun experience，【1】Plan well in advance for your trip，be prepared for what you might experience，and protect yourself as best as you can from any accidents. Here are some tips：

·Check you are fit for travel. Before you book your trip abroad you should be aware of any health problems at your destination.【2】Besides this，you should make sure you receive the necessary vaccines(疫苗)．·【3】Don't forget to take your medication with you. You can carry your medication on the plan with you. It is wise to take the double amount of medication that you need—put half in your carryon bag and half in your “in the hold” bag. That way，if your carryon bag gets stolen，you still have your medication in your hold bag.

·【4】Your medication makes your skin weaker，so protect it from sun by wearing sunscreen，a hat，and seeking shade where possible. Also，you may find that you are more sensitive to the heat，so drink plenty of water，and carry a hand fan.

·Eat and drink wisely. While abroad，drink bottled water and even clean your teeth with bottled water. Take extra care with your diet，so avoid any stomach upsets. If you travel to second or third world countries，eat vegetables and fruit that have been cooked.【5】If in doubt，speak to a medical person to check what foods to avoid.

A．Check your medicine，ticket，passport and credit card.

B．Avoid eating uncleaned food，shellfish and even foods like ice cream.

C．Just remember the three “p” s.

D．On the website，you can search for travel advice on individual countries.

E．You should check about your fitness to travel to certain countries.

F．Travel insurance is a must.

G．Protect yourself against the sun and heat.

Bill Gates once 【3】(predict) the “Dawn of the Age of Robots”. What is behind this new era? It is partly 【4】 matter of technology. Devices 【5】can recognize and respond to a human voice have been developed. There are now a few different ways for robots 【6】 (move) around. They can walk, crawl or ride on wheels. They 【7】 (make) smaller and smaller these days.

From the 1950s 【8】the television remote control was invented, people around the world have tirelessly searched for ways to get lazier. Also 【9】(consider) the increasing wealth of people, engineers believe the time appears ripe to introduce robots to ease our daily lives. Robots will do basic housework such 【10】 cleaning or gardening.

This is a finding of Norman R. Pace and his team at the University of Colorado, in the US. Pace's team looked at 45 shower heads in nine American cities. They discovered that 30 percent of them had large amounts of flying Mycobacterium.

But Pace said that they pose few threats to the health. Only those with a weak immune system might need to worry．He told the New York Times that the bacteria are not as unpleasant as might be thought. He said that having a shower is no more dangerous than anything else we do in the morning.

But for those who feel sick about the idea of all those microorganisms (微生物), he had some advice. Let the water run for 30 seconds before getting into the shower. Why? The number of bacteria is smaller than that when the water is just turned on. If that seems like a waste of water, he added that you could also change your shower head every few months.

However, Pace had good news too. He has also been testing the air in US subways. Apart from iron particles (粒子), which are ground off the track by the wheels of trains, subway air is fresh. The reason is that a train’s movement pumps fresh outdoor air into the tunnels.

【1】From the finding of Norman R. Pace, after taking a shower, we might cough or feel tired because ________.

A. it’s easy to get a cold when taking a bath

B. the shower head carries many bacteria causing illness

C. we don’t get cleaned while showering

D. we don’t get a weak immune system

【2】We can learn from the third paragraph that ________.

A. the bacteria always threat people’s health

B. there is no need to fear microorganisms for people with strong immune system.

C. the bacteria always threat people’s health when people have a shower

D. it is better to do some exercise in the morning than have a shower.

【3】What contributes to fresh air in US subways?

A. The train’s movement. B. Iron particles.

C. Train wheels. D. Air conditioners on the trains.

"What are you doing home already?" I asked casually.

"Andrew, I was laid off today," he answered quietly.

I was sure he was joking. "No, you weren't. Why are you really home?"

Then I noticed his expression and realized he was telling the truth. My father has always been a hard worker and prided himself on his career. My father's unemployment created many changes in our lives. He was home all day, which meant my bed had to be made, my room cleaned up, and my homework done right after school. I would come home every day to find him at the computer searching for jobs. I began to notice how down he seemed, and how losing his job had affected his self-esteem, though he tried to be optimistic. He asked my brother and me to spend less money. I gave up my allowance, which even though it wasn't much, felt like the right thing to do. I also found a part-time job.

After several difficult months of searching, my dad decided to go in a totally different direction. He explained that he never wanted to be laid off again, so he was going to start his own business. Day by day, I watched him build it, and I admired how much time and energy he devoted to it.

One evening I asked if he needed help. "Only if it doesn't interfere（打扰，妨碍） with school," he said, which sounded like a yes.

I showed up at his office the next afternoon, and most afternoons after that for two months. I always knew he was a hard worker, but watching him in action really influenced me. Although this was one of the worst experiences for our family, it taught me a lot about dealing with adversity. Now I know that through creative problem-solving, I can always find Plans, ask for help, and take risks.
