When I worked as a waiter at a restaurant, I happened to before Christmas. I didn't open the wallet because __. I thought if it contained something valuable, the owner would return to ask for it. An hour later, a man came to ask if . After he described the wallet exactly, I gave him the wallet. Having learned that I hadn't checked the wallet, he opened it and showed nearly $800 in cash inside. He then gave me as a reward for my honesty. After that, I am wondering whether I would keep it if I knew what was in the wallet. However, I think the feeling of returning the wallet was worth .

When someone mentions the Philippines, one can't help but think of beautiful beaches, but the Philippines is not just about beaches. With over 7,000 islands, there's a perfect tourist spot in the Philippines that will satisfy every traveler's wanderlust.

Ifugao

One of the most famous Philippine attractions is Ifugao Province, where you'll find the UNESCO World Heritage Site Banaue Rice Terraces. There are many places in Ifugao that will teach you the unique way of life and culture.

How to get there: From Manila, ride a bus bound for Banaue, a tough exhausting trip of around 9 hours.

Siargao

What makes Siargao an ideal travel destination is that it has remained remote, and still relatively under the radar, making it even more appealing to travelers who are longing for natural beauty and a slower pace. This tourist spot in Mindanao will surely captivate your heart.

How to get there: From Manila, you can book a flight or board a ferry bound for Siargao easily.

Palawan

Topping our list of the most beautiful tourist spots in the Philippines is none other than Palawan. With its undeniable beauty, Palawan has already become a regular on the list of the world's best islands of international travel magazines. Of course, this doesn't come as a surprise. Besides the clear blue-green waters of lakes, colorful reefs and pure white beaches, what more can you ask for?

How to get there: From Manila, there are flights that travel directly to all parts of Palawan.

According to data, there are under 100,000 people entering Canada every year to work for limited periods of time. Generally speaking, these people have professions where there is a shortage of skilled workers in Canada. There are opportunities for holidaymakers to enrich their travel experiences through paid work.

A work permit is a non-immigration permit. It is for the purpose of working in Canada for a set period of time. To qualify for a work permit in Canada, you must have a valid offer of employment from a Canadian company or employer. That offer must be admitted by the Human Resources Development Canada (HRDC). The employer will have to meet all the conditions given by the government. Besides, the work that you will carry out will not be disadvantaging similarly qualified Canadian workers.

To get a work permit, you must convince a Canadian immigration officer that you intend to be in Canada only for the duration of your employment. Depending on the type of work and the length of stay that you intend to do in Canada, you may be asked to attend an interview to discuss the matter further and you may also be asked to complete a medical examination. What's more, you are responsible for these costs. When your work permit expires (到期), you should return to your homeland. You cannot get a work permit if you go travelling in Canada.

One thing to bear in mind is that although you have received a work permit, you may still be refused entry into Canada by Port of Entry officials. You may need to clarify to them your purposes of visiting Canada. Once you arrive in Canada you will need a Social Insurance Number (SIN), which is a requirement for working in Canada. You can request a Social Insurance Number application form at the Port of Entry when you arrive in Canada or from the HRDC later. Once you have filled out this form, you will receive your SIN later by post. And you can give it to your employer before you work in his or her company.

In 2007, Bianca Valenti had an experience which nearly killed her. When she surfed (冲浪) at Ocean Beach in San Francisco, she met a wave as tall as a two-story house.

The wind was strong enough to block my vision. The moment I went under water, I was just getting knocked and spun (旋转) every which way. And then my feet touched the sand bottom there. When I swam to the surface, my lungs were burning painfully. I just thought to myself, "If there's one more wave after this, I'm going to die." Luckily there wasn't another wave. That was when Valenti knew she had the drive and skill to surf big waves.

By 2014, Valenti surfed and won her first big waves contest (比赛) at Nelscott Reef in Oregon. There, she met fellow professionals Alms, Moller, and Kennelly. "One thing got me fired up at that point," she said. "I wanted to have the opportunity to win more events, but there weren't more events for women. That's really annoying." Luckily, Valenti, Alms, Moller, and Kennelly decided to stick together, support each other, and then fight together.

The four surfers formed Committee for Equity in Women's Surfing (CEWS) to fight for entrance at Mavericks—a contest set in the surfing location of the same name, north of Half Moon Bay. Mavericks was invitation-only and was open to only men when CEWS was formed. Now, through the organization's hard work with the State of California, women are allowed to surf in the event.

When Valenti was young, there weren't many women represented in surfing culture. "I think it's important for young kids to have all kinds of role models. That way they know all the people who they see as superheroes are just normal people who have crazy dreams. And sometimes the dreams aren't even that crazy. If you work hard and you stick together with your friends, you can do anything. You can move mountains."

Harvard researchers have created a tough, low-cost, biodegradable (可生物降解的) material inspired by insects' hard outer shells. The material's inventors say it has a number of possible uses and someday could provide a more environmentally friendly alternative(可能的选择) to plastic. The material, made from shrimp (虾) shells and proteins produced from silk, is called "shrilk." It is thin, clear, flexible and strong.

A major benefit of the material is its biodegradability. Plastic's toughness and flexibility represented a revolution in materials science during the 1950s and 1960s. Decades later however, plastic's very durability (耐用性) is raising questions about how proper it is for one-time products such as plastic bags, or short-lived consumer goods, used in the home for a few years and then cast into a landfill where they will degrade for centuries. What is the point of making something that lasts 1,000 years?

Shrilk not only will degrade in a landfill, but its basic components are used as fertilizer, and so will enrich the soil.

Shrilk has great potential, the inventors said. Materials from which is made are plentiful in nature, found in everything ranging from shrimp shells, insect bodies to living plants. That makes shrilk low cost, and its mass production possible should it be used for products demanding a lot of material.

Work on shrilk is continuing in the lab. The inventors said the material becomes flexible when wet, so they're exploring ways to use it in wet environments. They're also developing simpler production processes, which could be used for non-medical products, like for computer cases and other products inside the home. They're even exploring combining it with other materials, like carbon fibers, to give it new properties.

Last year, I had the chance to study at a British secondary school as an exchange student. I stayed with a lovely host family and went to school with their son, Daniel. . He is learning Chinese and will come to stay with me this year in China!

The British school day begins at 9 a.m. and ends at 4 p.m. . Every student in the UK must study English, Maths, and the Science subjects: Biology, Chemistry, and Physics. Students can also choose to study other subjects, such as History, Art and Business.

I enjoyed most of the classes. Technology classes were interesting. I made a clock to take home. . I like it so much that I still use it as my alarm. I found Maths quite easy and enjoyable because the material was less advanced in the UK than in China.

. There were a lot of difficult English words, especially in Geography and Biology. Class discussion is very important in the UK, but I could not make much of a contribution because sometimes I wasn't able to express myself clearly in English. Although there was not as much homework as I was used to, it was still challenging. Fortunately my teachers and classmates were always helpful and gave me lots of encouragement. My language skills improved over time.

I am glad to have the opportunity to experience this different way of life. I met some great people and learnt a lot about school life in the UK. Daniel and his family were kind hosts, and his friends were very nice as well. .

A. I can't wait for Daniel to visit China.

B. The teacher is strict with the students.

C. It is useful for us to learn English well.

D. The teacher helped me put the parts together.

E. We were both 14 years old and we got on well.

F. However, learning in English was a great challenge for me.

G. Students usually have to learn nine subjects at secondary school.

There was no need to consult my smart-watch to know that we had climbed to an altitude of more than 4,500 meters.1discomfort serves as a warning system on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau.

After a four-hour journey, our coach 2 a parking lot in Madoi county, a sprawling herding district in the northwestern province of Qinghai. I got off and took a walk, but it felt like hard work. What seemed like a slightly dazed feeling at lower place—such as when I visited Lhasa, capital of the Tibet autonomous region, in 2019 at about 3,000 meters above sea level—had 3 into a severe headache because of the thin air.

As the air pressure 4 rapidly, my sunscreen bottle swelled and its 5 spilled out. Trees were a rare 6. The soil was frozen. Rice tasted half-cooked.

I 7 a small hotel, where about 35 doctors and journalists would stay for the next few days as part of a volunteer medical program. I was assigned a roommate, a photojournalist in his 50s. We climbed 8 of stairs carrying suitcases packed with winter clothes and other necessities to 9 the sunburn-producing ultraviolet. The climb clearly worsened our symptoms. We were both breathless when we reached our room.

Cracks could be seen meandering across the walls of the room, a warning sign of the quake's destruction and a 10 that the danger had not gone away.

It certainly hadn't. At about midnight, a magnitude 4.8 quake 11 the county and made my roommate and I—both 12 because of the discomfort we were feeling—jump out of our beds.

We scrambled for our clothes and shoes and argued about whether we had enough time to run outside. Before we had reached agreement, the shaking had stopped. The street our room overlooked was quickly 13 with people, and my sixth sense for survival told me to join those life-cherishing people downstairs, but the 14 told me to stay put.

The older man and I stared at each other and then decided to creep back to our beds, but we kept our pants on, just 15.

Earthquake -proof (抗震的) buildings

There are a number of ways buildings can be made strong enough to stand up to earthquakes. The simplest way is to make them much (strong). A building strong enough not (destroy) by a large earthquake, however, would probably look more like a bunker (地堡) than a nice place to live .

So engineers have looked for other ways. One is to make the building that can swing (摇摆) from side to side. is to design it so that it doesn't sit directly on the ground but on something that allows it to move a bit with the earthquake. If only a small part of a building (fall) down in an earthquake, damage can be (great) reduced, so buildings are often designed to do this as well.

However, (make) new earthquake -proof buildings is expensive, but with the (develop) of science and technology more efforts will be made to solve problem in the future.
