Create an electronic backup of your medical insurance card, passport, plane tickets, travel insurance, and visas before you leave. Email the file to yourself and keep it in your inbox to access the information from your smartphone if the paperwork is lost or damaged.

It might be tempting to keep your cash, credit cards, identification, and traveler's checks in your wallet, but don't do it. Keep any money, credit cards, IDs, and checks you won't be using locked in your hotel room or a safe place. Separate the monetary and identifying items you must carry on you and carry them in different spots on your person.

Another thing you might want to do is hang your purse on the back of your chair on a sidewalk or place your bags at your feet. Instead, keep your bags in your lap or at the front of your feet under the table, with the straps wrapped around your leg.

Of course, you'll be talking to the people of the land you visit—that's the best part of traveling, meeting new people! Don't get carried away and begin to trust strangers with your life story or personal information. Don't talk to strangers who don't look trustworthy, don't accept food or drink from them, and don't go anywhere with them unless they are your licensed tour guide and you're on your booked tour.

A. Health insurance might offer you some international coverage.

B. Consider what you say to your children and follow the same principle.

C. In general, for the most part, traveling throughout the world is very safe.

D. This isn't a good idea because your attention will be drawn to the new sights.

E. You'll be carrying the necessary documentation with you when traveling abroad.

F. Cash, credit cards, identification, and traveler's checks are not worth injury or death.

G. This safety tip prevents you from losing everything if somebody should steal your wallet.

According to a report by China Youth Daily, there are two primary types of self-driving systems in use today: those that use cameras and those that use light detection and ranging (LiDAR，激光雷达). Each type faces its own set of challenges. For example, Tesla's system uses cameras and deep learning, without high-precision maps, which works well in clear weather but struggles in bad conditions like heavy rain or fog. Some companies like Xpeng Motors use LiDAR technology, but its high cost-around 7.000 yuan for each system makes it difficult to use widely.

Another challenge is cybersecurity. According to Xinhua, Hackers can control the vehicle through cloud networks causing accidents or demanding money. Keeping data safe and preventing attacks is important for making autonomous driving safe. Also, the systems of self-driving cars have problems when dealing with unexpected situations. For example, if a traffic light doesn't work, the car might not know how to respond because its algorithm (算法) is designed to follow the light's instructions, not manage technical failures. Similarly, if a traffic officer directs traffic with a flag, the car might not recognize this human action, as it has not been programmed to react to such signals. In another case, if a child suddenly runs into the road the car must react quickly, but its sensors might not always predict such actions in time. These challenges show that self-driving is not yet ready for every real-world situation.

Beyond these technical challenges, the infrastructure for autonomous driving is still in the early stages of exploration and pilot projects. Many cities lack a unified plan for their traffic infrastructure. Autonomous driving systems need real-time data exchange and strong computing resources, and building vehicle-road collaboration (协作) requires many parties to work together. However, many cities' infrastructures currently do not yet support high-frequency data transmission.

New research led by Cole has gotten a step closer. Through a large-scale genomics analysis, her team identified 481 genome regions that were directly linked to eating habits and food preferences. The findings, which have not yet been peer-reviewed (同行评议), were presented last month.

Built on a study in 2020, Cole and her colleagues used data from Biobank, which has a public database of the genetic and health information of 500,000 participants. By scanning genomes, the new analysis is was able to home in on 194 regions associated with eating habits and 287 linked to specific foods such as fruit, cheese, fish, and tea. Further understanding how genes impact our eating could show differences in nutritional needs and disease risks.

"One of the problems with many previous genomics studies is that they're very small. They don't have enough people to be able to identify genes in a credible manner. This study had a huge group of people, so that's really powerful," says Monica Dus, an associate professor at the University of Michigan. "The other thing that I thought was great is that they have so many different features that they're measuring concerning diet. They had fats, the body, social-economic backgrounds."

As the research advances, Dus says, "Instead of worrying about telling people what to eat, a more effective approach would be ensuring there aren't ‘food deserts' so people could get more food — things that have a broader impact."

One reason we should study intercultural communication is to enhance self-awareness. Our thinking process regarding culture is often "others-focused", meaning that the culture of the other person or group is what stands out in our view. However, the old saying "know thyself" is appropriate, as we become more aware of our own culture by better understanding other cultures and views.

Intercultural communication can allow us to step outside of our comfortable, usual frame of reference and see our culture through a different aspect. Additionally, as we become more self-aware, we may become more ethical communicators as we challenge our tendency to view our culture as superior to others.

As was noted earlier, differences matter, and studying intercultural communication can help us better negotiate in our changing world. Changing economies and technologies intersect with culture in meaningful ways. Technology has created a global village where vast distances are much shorter due to new technology that makes travel and communication more accessible and convenient. However, as the following "Getting Plugged In" box indicates, there is also a digital divide, which refers to the unequal access to technology and related skills that exist throughout much of the world. People in most fields will be more successful if they are prepared to work in a globalized world.

Obviously, the global market sets up the need for intercultural competence for employees who travel between locations of a multinational corporation. Perhaps less obvious may be the need for teachers to work with students who do not speak English as their first language and for police officers, lawyers, managers, and medical personnel to be able to work with people who have various cultural identities.

When choosing schools, many students and parents look at their rankings. Rankings are lists that try to show which US universities are "best". Famous magazines and websites create these lists every year.

However, a university with a high ranking isn't necessarily the right one for you. Think of it like choosing a restaurant: The most expensive restaurant in town might not serve the food you enjoy most!

How US universities are different from Chinese universities

In China, students usually get into universities based on their gaokao scores. But in the US, universities look at many different things:

●Your grades

●Your activities outside of class

●Your special talents

●Your personal story

●Your interests and goals

Good students and excellent professors can be found at hundreds of US universities, not just the highest-ranked ones.

What rankings don't show you

Rankings often focus on things that might not matter to you, such as:

●How few students they accept (being "selective")

●How many students graduate

●How famous the university's name is

But they don't show important things like:

●Whether the university has good support for international students

●How much individual attention you will get from professors

●Whether the university offers the specific program you want

●If the location and campus environment suit you

A surprising truth about famous universities

Here's something most people don't know: At many famous, highly-ranked universities, under graduate students rarely get taught by well-known professors. Instead, many classes are taught by graduate students or newer professors.

How to make a smart choice

Instead of just looking at rankings, ask yourself:

●What do I want to study?

●What kind of support will I need as an international student?

●What size school would make me comfortable?

●Can I afford this school?

●Does this location interest me?

Remember this!

Your goal should be finding the right university for YOU, not just picking the one with the highest ranking. Many excellent US universities might not appear in the top rankings but could offer exactly what you need to succeed.

Carl, my friend, always wore a smile on his face. Unfortunately, he suffered from a rare brain disease. One day I noticed that he didn't come to school.

Two days later, my teacher - Mrs. Carina said Carl was in hospital again. He needed to have an operation. Feeling sad, I spent the rest of the day thinking about how frightened, helpless and hopeless Carl must feel, facing such a big challenge. How sad Carl's parents would be! I was so sorry for Carl, and I wanted to do something for him.

Another friend told me that Carl loved pandas. I remembered that my brother had recently taught me how to make a toy panda. Right then, I decided to make Carl a toy panda for luck and hope. I also made a card for Carl. I told him that he always had a place in my heart and that I hoped that he would recover quickly. The next day after school, I gave the toy panda and the card to my teacher, for she was going to visit Carl at the hospital. She was surprised and thanked me on behalf of (代表) Carl's family.

One day, as I passed our meeting room, I saw many people sitting inside. I took a closer look and was amazed. There were almost all of my teachers, and a woman I had never seen before. Then one of the teachers came out and invited me to go in. He told me that the woman was Carl's mom and that she was asking about me.
