4．When you first step out into that big world，it can be a little worrying，but as time goes by and you get into the new environment，you very quickly begin to love it because every traveler learns certain lessons，lessons about themselves，about travel，and about the world in general．
You might have thought you'd have trouble with the language or that you're terrible with directions，or that you're shy around new people，or that you can't deal with some problems，but once you throw yourself to the deep end and have to survive （生存） on your own in the world，you'll come to know you're far better at these things than you ever realize．
Every time I go camping or stay in a poor hotel or even eat street food，the feeling is the same on that first day：sick．I can't get clean．There are people making noise in my room．This food is going to make me ill．But after about three days of anything-any level of discomfort-you just get used to it．And then it becomes fun．
Couldn't find anywhere to have break fast this morning？No worries．Stayed up all night drinking and now you have to catch a bus？It'll all be fine．See the above-it'll take about three days to get used to it．
What you may have once thought was very unpleasant-showering in a dirty bathroom，drying yourself with a dirty hotel towel，wearing the same T-shirt four days，never washing your socks-becomes routine （惯例） once you've been traveling for a couple of months．Keep clean？It's a first-world problem．
First-time travelers are usually worried about safety，but after a while you realize that the world isn't out to get you，and if you just take a few easy precautions （警觉），the probability is high that you'll never get stolen while you travel．Although you still might，so don't carry anything you can't bear to lose．
The first price is never the right price．This holds true for anywhere that the price isn't stamped onto the thing or clearly shown in some way．While arguing about the price doesn't come naturally to some．It's something you have to get used to if you don't want to be ripped off over and over again．
Things go wrong when you travel-lots of things．The train is late，the money exchange place is closed，the hotel has lost your booking，and you can feel a pain in your stomach that means last night's street food was a bad choice．But you have to be able to deal with these problems when you travel，or you'll quickly go silly．

2．Molly looked through the window at her neighbor across the yard．"She is in my garden again．Those are my strawberries，not hers．Maybe I should call the police．"

1．There are many kinds of pollution around us，such as air pollution，noise pollution and light pollution．They are all bad for our health，and many people think that air pollution is the most serious．
On October 26，1948，in the small town of Donora，people woke up to find themselves in a stagnant （不流动的） cloud of pollution．The sky wasn't clear any longer．Four days later，when the cloud finally lifted，20people were dead and over half the population-7，000people had become ill．
Air pollution is one of the world's oldest environmental problems．By 1306，smoke was so common in London that the burning of coal wasn't allowed．More than 600years later，it was still a major problem when，in 1952，4000were killed by a week of London's"killer fog"．
Now，at the beginning of the 21st century，we still can't breathe healthily．Although air quality （质量） has improved over the past few years，the Environmental Protection Agency （EPA） says that over 125million Americans breathe unhealthy air-almost half of the US population．Bad air causes more people to die than car accidents．Every day，14people in America die from asthma （哮喘）．Asthma is now the most common cause of going to hospitals among American children，and it is becoming more common among adults （成人） as well．
In the world，air pollution is bad for the health of 5billion people a year，according to a study done by Cornell University．That's more than two thirds of the world's population．
Perhaps the day will come when people will be able to breathe clean air in cities．Then the sunlight will no longer be blacked out by a smoke．

The food is usually delivered by the next day or even on the same day．People still need to be careful，though．They must check to see if the food is fresh when they get it．It is a good idea for people to find out how far away the food is being delivered from．It is also a problem if the company does not use refrigeration when they deliver food that should be kept cold．If traveling long distances in the summer to deliver the goods，this is important．
