Except some days of poor air quality, major Canadian cities remain unaffected by wildfires. The fires are in the country's northern areas that have drawn travelers interested in outdoor experiences in years past.

In a recent report by Destination Canada, a marketing organization, half of the total spent by international visitors is in Vancouver, Toronto and Montreal. But other Canadian destinations attractive to visitors have been affected by the wildfires.

In preparation for increasing visitor sizes and ongoing wildfires, some businesses are thinking about changing their operations, which see outdoor recreation (娱乐) as a tourism opportunity. A nonprofit travel agency is considering creating a questionnaire (调查问卷) for customers to show when they would cancel a booking because of road closes from the wildfires, poor air quality and a lack of visibility.

Tourism in British Columbia contributes greatly to its economy. The province has various recreational offerings, from the major ski destinations to hiking along the coast. Blackcomb, a helicopter tour company, has canceled its sightseeing offerings, using most of its helicopters on the firefighting effort until at least early August. "It's the question of flying our customers around on sightseeing tours or putting out fire s within 10 kilometers of our bases and the communities that we live in," said Jordy Norris, the company's tourism director. "We made it clear to both our staff and our customers that we have a duty to protect the backyard."

Darrin Rigo, a photographer, recently saw a photo of a beautiful waterfall engulfed in fire on a media page. "I'm sure that's not going to last long, and everything will turn to normal." he said.

American Trina Bright worked in education for nearly 25 years and she traveled to many countries, including China and South Africa. Bright used stories from her travels to help her students in the U. S. understand their place in the world and see value in their own cultures. But Bright, unlike Sadikova, does not report feeling connected to people around the world.

Bright is not alone. Pew Research Center recently asked people in 24 countries a series of questions about how connected they feel to the world to see how travel experience relates to feelings of connectedness.

The study found that respondents (调查对象) who had traveled to at least one other country feel more connected to people around the world. 99 percent of respondents in the Netherlands reported having visited at least one other country and 77 percent of respondents from the Netherlands said they feel at least somewhat close to people all over the world. But international travel does not always mean a person feels a closeness to people around the world. 99 percent of Swedish respondents said they had visited at least one other country. Yet a much smaller number of Swedish respondents—47 percent—report feeling close to people all over the world.

Sadikova said she felt connected to the world because of media, which makes it quite easy to get to know events and news.

For my teenagers, spending time with Mom is usually down on their list next to homework and picking up the dog waste. So, when they asked me to take them shopping at the mall at midnight on Black Friday, my first reaction was definitely no! But my son, who usually runs the other way if I mention shopping, wanted me to take him shopping. I felt needed, though I knew they actually wanted me to pay for their things, not quality time with Mom.

Then the hour-long car ride. We followed songs on the radio and talked about the deals we hoped to get. I had opportunities to give them lessons on what not to do when driving, but I shared their happiness instead. And we all connected as we sat with smiles at midnight.

The kids searched for a spot once we finally reached the busy parking lot. There was something about standing in a line that snakes around the building in the freezing cold that brings people together. Once inside, we had to work as a team, hoping to get just the right size and color. As I dug through mountain s of clothing for a particular shirt for my husband and gave up, my daughter came toward me, shirt of the kind in hand and victory on her face. "I got the last one!"

So we ended up at 3 am with some bargains. Nothing we couldn't have found online or in stores at a reasonable hour. But for me, I got quality time with my kids. Driving home tired, looking in the mirror at my children's sweet faces, I decided, "If they ask me to go again next year, I'm ready."

I used to be very shy and often felt lonely. Although I did well in all the academic subjects, I was afraid of physical education. My classmates often laughed at me.

"Look at that girl," they said. "Her feet don't leave the ground when she runs!"

Their words embarrassed me. Moreover, whenever the teacher organized some competitive games, no one in the class liked to have me as their partner or team member. As a result, I often ended up looking at others enjoy their games.

Things would go on like that if not for a sports meet in my high school. By mistake, my name was put on the list of those who would compete in the women's 1500 meters race. By the time people found the mistake, it was too late to change.

I was utterly dumbfounded (目瞪口呆的). 1500 meters! Running against the best runners from other classes! And in front of students of the entire school! It would be the worst nightmare I'd ever have!

"You still have time to catch up because there is still one month before the sports meet," my classmates all said this to me, including my teacher.

My desk-mate patted me on the shoulder, "Cool! You will run for our class! And we will do training together." Yes, this is not just for myself, but for my class too, I said to myself. But still, 1500 meters to me was like Mount Everest to a beginning climber. I had no idea even how to start my preparation.

Fortunately, my desk-mate gave me a hand. Every afternoon after class, several of us ran together. They gave me strengths. While we were running, some others would stand by the tracks cheering for us.

One month certainly couldn't make me a good runner. But when I was standing behind the start line, I no longer felt lonely or afraid. I saw my classmates standing by the tracks waving at me as if about to run beside me.

The day finally came!

No structure is as symbolically significant or (cultural) important to China as the Great Wall. Architectural (engineer)are part of a huge project to repair this centuries-old structure.

Jiankou (believe) to be one of the most rugged stretches of the relic. Some of the most dangerous work includes laborers hanging from towering heights. With ropes tied around (they) waists, repair workers spread cement on the wall's steep sides, while others hold the ropes for support. (survive) a fall from the steep sides would be unlikely. A laborer explains he risks his life to make repairs to the ancient structure, saying that it is an honor to be part of such a great cause, and it is very (meaning) to do so.

Getting supplies to this part of the wall is also a demanding effort. Because the path is so steep, donkeys and mules must be used to transport bricks, can weigh as much as 150 kg each. The repair team goes to great lengths (keep) the principle of minimal intervention. "We have to stick the original format, the original material and the original craftsmanship, so that we can better preserve the historical and cultural values, " said Cheng Yongmao, the engineer leading Jiankou's restoration work.

As soon as we2, we were greeted by the boys and girls assigned (分派) to meet us. After we left the airport, we3 a bus and it was there that we faced a(n)4 difference. As everyone says, "Italians are noisy, more open and outgoing", and this is what differentiates us from the Germans, who are much more reserved and5. On the bus, as we had a long way to go, we decided to listen to some6 and sang out loud, and these kinds of things are often done during school trips by Italian7. When we were glancing at all the German kids, we decided to8 because we realized our behavior led to a(n)9 climate for them.

After we settled down, we decided to have lunch in a restaurant. Shortly before entering that10, I recognized another difference between the two cultures. A man who greeted us opened the door first for himself and then let us in. The first thing I thought was how11 he was. I asked if it was a normal thing for them. Then I received an unexpected12: German males go in first to13 the place is safe, and then let the woman in.

This exchange made me14 the differences within cultures and how cultural shock works.15, I learned what seems normal to me can be something improper in another country, even if that country is just a few miles away.
