At present, more and more people like travelling. They travel to see more of the world. They can also go shopping, meet people from other countries, and learn about their cultures as well as customs.
According to the United Nations World Tourism Organization (UNWTO), 1.138 billion people travelled to other countries in 2014. In 2014, Chinese people travelled abroad 11.2% more than 2013. The growing of tourism can benefit (使……受益) not only China but also other countries.
Chinese people usually join large tourist groups and visit several countries in one trip. They don’t just travel for sightseeing. They like shopping and spend much money while travelling, especially during festivals. Europe and the United States are popular places among Chinese travelers.
In December, China is the cold winter. Many people like to go to some countries in Southeast Asia because the weather there is quite pleasant.
Now more and more Chinese can travel abroad. But some of them don’t have a good sense of public manners. A western report in 2012 said Chinese were the world’s second worst tourists. Even now the world still doesn’t like Chinese tourists.
If we Chinese want to have a change, remember not to do these: throwing rubbish everywhere, talking loudly, smoking in non-smoking areas, spitting, line-jumping, taking off shoes in public, snatching bus seats… Besides, we should learn some necessary manners of foreign countries.

For many people, the Zhijiang Dong autonomous county(自治县), Huaihua city, in Central China’s Hunan province is famous for its role in China’s War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression(1937-45) and World War II.
Located in the west of Hunan, the county is close to the border with Guizhou province,
and is a well-known transportation hub（中心；中枢）. It also acted as important military base（军事基地） in the fight against the Japanese.
Zhijiang was the home of the American Volunteer Group, or “Flying Tigers”: the
legendary squadron（空军中队） of pilots from the United States that helped the Chinese forces fight the occupiers（侵略者）, and made an impressive contribution to the ultimate（最终的） victory. It was also the first place where representatives（有代表性的） of the Japanese Imperial Army signed a document of unconditional surrender（无条件投降） to China.
The surrender was signed on Aug 21,1945, about three weeks before Yasuji Okamura, the commander-in-chief of Japan’s China Expeditionary Army, signed the Japanese Instrument of Surrender in Nanjing on Sep.9.
“Japan’s surrender in Zhijiang marked the first time in the modern era that Japan was
presented as the loser in a war with China.” said Wu Jianhong, curator（馆长）  of the
county’s Memorial Hall of the Victory over Japan.

Do you think of white when someone talks about a polar bear(北极熊）? In fact, the polar bear does not have white fur. It just appears to be white. Polar bears have a very good sense of smell. It helps them to find food. During summer, polar bears sleep longer, because they are able to find their food more easily at night. Usually, after a meal, polar bears have a short sleep. A polar bear can have 2-3 babies at a time. They live with their mothers until they are about two-and-a-half years old.
However, polar bears will die out soon because of people. There are only 20,000 to 25,000 polar bears in the world. The polar bears are trying to survive today. The number of polar bears is becoming smaller and smaller because of the loss of sea ice— polar bears mostly inhabit (居住于) the sea ice, not the land ice. This is happening because of global warming (全球气候变暖), pollution, hunting and so on.
Ordinary people don't care, but great people have the power and want to save tigers, fight for giant pandas and save polar bears. Ordinary people will wait, but great people will find a new world. For me, I will not waiting. I will take the bus more often from now on. Join me and save the polar bears, and, of course, the tigers, the giant pandas and...

There is an old saying in English, “Laughter is the best medicine”. Until recently, few people took the saying very seriously. Now, however, doctors have begun to study laughter and the effects (作用) it has on the human body. They have found evidence that laughter really can improve people’s health.
Tests were carried out to study the effects of laughter on the body. People watched funny films while doctors checked their heart rate, blood pressure, breathing and muscles. It was found that laughter has similar effects to physical exercise. It increases blood pressure, the heart rate and the rate of breathing. It also works several groups of muscles in the face, the stomach and even the feet. If laughter exercises the body, it must be helpful.
Other tests have shown that laughter appears to make the effect of pain on the body less. In one experiment doctors produced pain in groups of students who listened to different radio programs. The group which could bear the pain for the longest time was the group which listened to a funny program. The reason why laughter can make pain less seems to be that it helps to produce endorphins (内啡肽) in the brain. These are natural chemicals which make both stress and pain less.
There is also some evidence to suggest that laughter helps the body’s immune system — that is the system which fights infection (感染). In an experiment, one group of students watched a funny video while another group served as the control group — in other words, a group with which to compare the first group. Doctors checked the blood of the students in both groups and found that the people in the group that watched the video had an increase in the activity of their white blood cells — the cells which fight infection.
As a result of these discoveries, some doctors and psychiatrists (精神病专家) in the United States now hold laughter clinics, in which they try to improve their patients’ condition by encouraging them to laugh. They have found that even if their patients do not really feel like laughing, making them smile is enough to produce good effects similar to those caused by laughter.
We learn from the first paragraph that laughter _______.

A．is good for one’s health

B．has strong effects to do with some illnesses

C．has been studied for a long time

D．has no effect on the body

Doctors have found that laughter _______.

A．keeps down blood pressure

B．has similar effects to physical exercise

B．It exercises the body.

C．It improves the body’s immune system.

D．It can cure（治愈）cancer .

Smiling can produce _________.
