Travelling doesn't mean not considering all the environment-friendly choices we work so hard to achieve in our daily life. Here are a few tips for green travel with kids.

Booking nonstop flights whenever possible will reduce carbon emissions (碳排放). If the closest local airport doesn't have nonstop flights to a certain place, check other local airports to see if there are nonstop flights.

When you're travelling by car, it's easy to find fast food restaurants for snacks. My kids love to help plan snacks. I let them create their own snacks for the trip at home.

Reusable water bottles are easy to bring along. Whenever you travel at the airport, keep your reusable bottles empty until you have passed through the security checkpoint (安检关卡). Single-use plastic water bottles create unnecessary waste and the plastic can be harmful to your health.

Turn off the tap after washing your hand. Open a few windows and turn off the air conditioner. You should also help your children keep their good, green habits from home to hotel while travelling. Sometimes vacation can mean more than one shower each day—once in the morning and again after getting out of the swimming pool. Pay attention to the number of showers and the length of showers.

A. In this way, you can save water and energy.

B. But you can pack healthy food before starting off.

C. Fill them up on the other side.

D. You might have to drive a bit further, but it is totally worthwhile.

E. Save energy by turning off the hotel room lights when you go out.

②First of all, sports are a great way to exercise. Exercising keeps you healthy and strong. It also helps you stay in a good condition. When you exercise, your body makes endorphins (安多芬) which give you more energy and make you feel happier.

③Also, sports teach young people how to communicate and work as a team. They teach young people to respect (尊重) their coaches, teammates and players from the other team. Many reports say that sports help young people stay out of trouble. If a young person plays sports, he or she may have fewer problems. This is because sports teach people about rules. They also teach people that if they work hard, they might succeed.

④Another good way of sports is that they make people leave their houses. These days, a lot of people spend too much time watching television and playing video games. When you play sports, you go outside and exercise in the sun. You take in fresh air. All of these things are important.

⑤Maybe you're not going to become a sports professional, but that doesn't matter, sports will help you become a better and happier person.

Question 1: How did you become a National Geographic photographer?

My first job was for a newspaper. After a few years there, I met a National Geographic photographer. He liked my photos and said I should send some to the magazine. So I did. That led to a one-day job. And that led to a nine-day job, and so on.

Question 2: _______

To get into National Geographic, you have to give them something they don't have. It's not enough just to be a great photographer. You also have to be a scientist, for example, or be able to dive under sea ice, or spend maybe several days in a tree.

Question 3: Is it hard to get a job as a photographer today?

It's now harder to work for magazines. Technology makes it easy to take good pictures, which means there are more photos and photographers. Also, the Web is filled with photos from all around the world that are free, or cost very little. These photos are often good enough to be put in books and magazines. What the magazines need to do these days is to pay for these photos.

Question 4: I want to be a photographer. Do you have any advice for me?

Advice? Well, work hard. Be passionate (热情的) about every project you work on. Take lots of pictures in different situations. Look at others' photos thoughtfully and learn from them. And be curious about everything. There's something to photograph everywhere.

Gordon's business took a long time. We didn't leave until late afternoon. The wind was then much higher. My master said to John, "I have never been out in such a storm!" Mr Gordon and John could not see well in the rain.

We came to a wooden bridge. It was very nearly dark. We could just see that the water was over the middle of the bridge. But as that happened sometimes when the floods were out, master did not stop. The moment my feet touched the first part of the bridge, I felt sure there was something wrong. I dare (敢于) not go forward, and I made a dead stop. "Go on, Beauty," said my master, and he gave me a touch with the whip (鞭子), but I dare not move. He gave me a sharp cut and I jumped, but I dare not go forward.

"There's something wrong, sir," said John, and he got out and tried to lead me forward. "Come on, Beauty." But I knew that the bridge was not safe.

Just then the man on the other side saw us.

"Hey! Halloo! Stop!" he cried.

"What's the matter?" shouted my master.

"The bridge is broken in the middle, and part of it is carried away. If you go onto it, you'll be into the river."

"Thank you for saving us, Beauty!" said John. He gently turned me round to the right hand road by the river side. It grew darker and darker, stiller and stiller.

When we returned home the Squire told Mrs Gordon, "Black Beauty saved our lives. He knew the bridge was dangerous."

John took me to the stable. Oh! What a good supper he gave me that night! What a nice bed of straw! I was glad of it, for I was tired.

I grew up poor-living with my wonderful mother. We had little money but plenty of love and attention. I was happy and energetic. I understood that no matter how poor a person was, he could still afford a dream.

My dream was to be a sportsman. By the time I was sixteen, I had started playing baseball. I could throw a ninety-mile-per-hour fastball and hit anything that moved on the football field. I was also1: my high-school coach was John, who not only believed in me, but also taught me to believe in myself. He taught me the difference between having a dream. One unusual2 with Coach John changed my life forever.

A friend recommended me for a summer job. This meant a chance for money in my pocket—money for a new bike and new clothes, and the3 of savings for a house for my mother. Then I realized I would have to4 up summer baseball to deal with the work schedule, and that meant I would have to tell coach John I wouldn't be playing.

When I told Coach John, he was as5 as I expected him to be "You have your whole life to work," he said. "You don't have too many playing days in your life. You can't afford to6 them." I stood before him with my head7, trying to think of the words that would8 to him why my dream of buying my mom a house and having money in my pocket was worth facing his disappointment in me.

"How much are you going to make at this job, son?" he asked.

"3.5 dollars an hour," I replied.

"Well," he asked, "is $3.5 an hour the9 of a dream?"

That simple question made me understand the difference between10something right now and having a goal. I decided myself to play sports that summer and within the year I was hired (雇佣) by the Pittsburgh Pirates to play baseball, and was offered a $20,000 contract (合同). In 2000, I bought my mother the house of my dream!
