Recently we have a hot discussion on if people should keep pets at home in cities or not.                             
Some students think it is a good idea to keep pets because of many old people living alone can get
comfort from them. Beside, getting along well with animals will make our life interested. On the
other hand, other students are against the idea. In their opinions, if too many people keep pets at
home, it’s bad to the environment. What is worse, pets may make too much noisy and even attack
people. I like animals, but I don’t think it bad to keep pets at home. But we must take measures to
keep them polluting our environment.

In 1883, a creative engineer, John Roebling, was inspired to build a splendid bridge connecting New York with Long Island. However, experts throughout the world thought that this was  16 . Even so, Roebling could not  17  the idea in his mind. After much discussion, he  18  convince his son Washington, an up-and-coming engineer, that the bridge in fact could be built.

When many of us take a vacation, more than anything, we seek to relax. We spend long, lazy days on a beach chair or in a hammock(吊床). But too often, we return home, tired.

It doesn’t have to be this way.

In fact active vacations are often the most relaxing of all. We don’t expect you to take up jogging(慢跑), or climbing. Rather, we ask the sedentary(久坐的) vacations among you to spend two to four hours a day doing things, such as walking in the city street, going to a zoo or biking along the ocean.

These kinds of activities aren’t just good for your physical health. They improve your mental health, even your spiritual health. Here are some fresh ideas to make your vacations as pleasurable as they are active and healthy.

A walk at dawn or dusk helps keep you young. Try to make this a daily habit of life when you’re away from home, and you will guarantee yourself both physical and spiritual refreshment.

Don’t allow yourself to spend all your time sitting in front of water. Whether it is the ocean, a swimming pool, or a tree-lined lake, make sure you get into the water for swimming or games, or even walking. Merely standing in waist-high water is a good workout, thanks to the action of the water. And you’ll feel so much more active!

Many of us spend a large chunk of our vacation on the road, either getting to and from our destinations, or using the car for sightseeing. But no matter how beautiful the scenery is, great, memorable vacations don’t happen in a car seat. Frequently get out and stretch, walk, picnic, shop, visit, and have fun. It’s important for your health and energy, and it makes traveling a lot more active and interesting
