　　I went home one Saturday afternoon in the autumn of 1993 to get some work done in the garden．While sweeping leaves on the ground, my five-year-old son Nick came over and asked me to write something on a piece of paper to make a sign for him．

　　“What for? ” I asked．

　　“I'm going to sell some of my stones, ” he answered．

　　Nick was fascinated with stones and had collected many stones from all over．“I'm busy to do

　　that for you．Go and ask your mum for help．” I said．

　　A short time later, Nick returned with a sign, reading, “Stones．One Dollar Each”．He took the sign, a small chair and four of his best stones and walked to the road in front of our garden．There he put the stones in a line and sat down on the chair．

　　After half an hour, nobody passed by．I walked to him and asked him to go back, but he didn't．

　　Another half hour later, a small car came down the road．I watched as Nick stood up, holding his sign up．A woman rolled down a window and read the sign．I couldn't hear their talk, but I saw the woman turn to the driver and the man reach for his pocket．

　　I sat in the yard, as Nick ran to me．Waving the dollar, he shouted, “I told you I could sell one stone for a dollar-if you believe in yourself, you can do anything．”

　　I came to study in the USA a year ago．Yet I did not know the real American society until I injured(傷害)in an accident, because after the accident I had to see a doctor-and to court(法院)．

　　After the accident, my roommate called a doctor for me．I was very grateful and decided to repay him one day．But the next day, he asked me to pay him ＄ 200 for what he had done．I was very surprised．He had good reason to charge me, he said．And if I wanted to collect money from the person who was responsible(負(fù)責(zé))for my injury．I'd have to have a good lawyer(律師)．And only a good doctor can help me get a good lawyer．Now that he had helped me find a good doctor, it was only fair that I should pay him．

　　But every time I went to see the doctor, I had to wait about 50 minutes．He would see two or three patients at the same time, and often stop treating one so as to see another, yet he charged me ＄ 115 each time．The final examination report consisted of ten lines, and it cost me ＄ 215．

　　My lawyer knew very well the other party was responsible for the accident, yet he hardly did anything．He simply waited to collect his money．He was so irresponsible that I decided not to ask for him again．And he made me pay him ＄ 770．

　　Now I had to act as my own lawyer．Because of my inexperience, I told the insurance company(保險公司)the date I was leaving America．Knowing that, they played for time, and I left without getting a cent．

　　My experiences taught me two things about America：firstly, in a country like America money is everything．It is more important than friendship or honor．Secondly, foreigners are still being unfairly treated．So when we talk about America, we should see both its good and bad sides．

　　Without planning tourism can cause problem．For example, too many tourists can crowd pubic places that are also enjoyed by the people there．If tourists create too much traffic, the people there become angry and unhappy．They began to dislike tourists and to treat them impolitely．They forget how much tourism can help the country's economy(經(jīng)濟(jì))．It is important to think about how tourism affects them．Tourism should help a country keep the culture and beauty that attract tourists．Tourism should be also helpful for the health and happiness of local people．

　　Too much tourism can be a problem．If tourism grows too quickly, people must leave other jobs to work in the tourism industry．This means that other parts of the country's economy can suffer．

　　On the other hand, if there is not enough tourism, people can lose jobs．Businesses can also lose money．It costs a great deal of money to build large hotels, airports, first-class roads, and other support facilities(設(shè)施)needed by tourist attractions．For example, a large hotel can cost as much as 50 thousand dollars per room to build．If this room is not used most of the time, the owners of the hotel will lose money．

　　Building a hotel is just a beginning．There must be many support facilities as well, including roads to get to the hotel, electricity, sewers(下水道)to handle waste and water．All of these support facilities cost money．If they are not used because there not enough tourists, jobs and money are lost．

　　“If you want to see a thing well, reach out and touch it! ”

　　That may seem a strange thing to say．But touching things can help you to see them better．

　　Your eyes can tell you that a glass ball is round．But by holding it in your hands, you can feel how smooth and cool the ball is．You can feel how heavy the glass is．

　　When you feel all these about the ball, you really see it．

　　With your skin, you can feel better．For example, your fingers can tell the difference between two coins in your pocket．You can feel a little drop of water on the back of your hand, too．

　　You can even feel sounds against your skin．Have you ever wanted to know why some people like very loud music? They must like to feel the sounds of music．

　　All children soon learn what “Don't touch! ” means．They hear it often．Yet most of us keep on touching things as we grow up．In shops, we touch things we might buy, such as food, clothes and so on．To see something well, we have to touch it．

　　The bottoms of our feet can feel things, too．You know this when you walk on warm sand, cool grass or a bad floor．All feel different under your feet．

　　There are ways of learning to see well by feeling．

　　One way is to close your eyes and try to feel everything that is touching your skin．Feel the shoes on your feet, the clothes on your body, the air on your skin．At first, it is not easy to feel these things．You are too used to them!

　　Most museums are just for looking．But today some museums have some things to touch．Their signs say, “Do touch! ” There you can feel everything on show．

　　If you want to see better, reach out and touch．Then you'll really see!

　　TRAVEL STUDY-a new way to spend your holidays．Have you ever heard about it?

　　● TRAVEL

　　When you have a travel study, you can see Big Ben, Sydney Opera House, the Statue of Liberty and many other places…I dreamed of visiting all the cities with beautiful sights．During the travel study, you may go travel yourself, with your family or your friends．

　　At the same time when you travel, you are in a different culture every day．You can be served with different new foods and make new friends．You read all these from books in the past, but now it is real and you are a part of it．Besides, you may also learn other cultures from your new friends because they are from different countries．

　　●STUDY

　　Maybe you already have foreign teachers in your school to teach you English．But he or she will not stay to speak English with you all the time, right? During the travel study, you have to speak it every day and almost everywhere because you are in an English-speaking country!

　　It also gives you a chance to let you live alone and make you learn how to live．What should I do if I lose my way in a foreign country? How can I buy what I want with my poor English? You have to be clever and you decide them by yourself．

　　In a word, you can get a lot from the travel study．

　　A well-known speaker started off his speech by holding up a ＄20 bill(鈔票)．In the room of 200,he asked,” Who would you like this ＄20 bill?”

　　Hands started going up．He said, “I am going to give this ＄20 to one of you ,but first, let me do this．”

　　He continued to crumple(弄皺)the 20-dollar note up．He then asked, “Who still wants it?” Still the hands were on in the air．

　　“Well,” he replied, “what if I do this?,” He dropped it on the ground and started to grind(磨)it into the floor with his shoe．He picked it up, now the note was crumpled and dirty．

　　“Now, who still wants it?”

　　Still the hands went into the air．

　　“My friends, you have all learned a very valuable lesson．No matter what I did to the money ，you still wanted it because it did not decrease　in value(價值)．It was still worth ＄20．”

　　“Many times in our lives, we are dropped, crumpled ,and grounded into the dirt by the decisions we make and the circumstances(情況)that come our way．We feel as though we are worthless; but no matter what happened or what will happen, you will never lose your value．”

　　“Dirty or clean, crumpled or finely creased ,you are still priceless(無價的)to those who love you．The worth of our lives comes, not in what we do or who we know, but by WHO WE ARE．”

　　“You are special——don't ever forget it．”

　　It was so dark outside the car window that is was hard to see anything．

　　“Can I have a carrot, Mum?” Riley asked．

　　“I don't have any carrots,” her mum said．“How about an apple?”

　　“No,” said Riley．“It has to be a carrot．”

　　“Why do you want a carrot?” asked her mum．

　　“You always say carrots help your eyes,” said Riley．“If I eat one now, it might help me see in the dark．”

　　Would eating a carrot really help Riley? What is special about carrots? A clue to what makes a carrot special is its color．Carrots are orange because they store beta-carotene(胡蘿卜素)．Beta-carotene is a way to talk about Vitamin A(維生素A)．Your eyes need Vitamin A．It helps them work．

　　When light hits your eye, very small parts inside turn the light into messages．The messages go to your brain(腦),and then you know what you're looking at．Your eye can only turn light into messages when it has a special chemical(化學(xué)物質(zhì))．That's where Vitamin A comes in．Your eyes use Vitamin A to make the special chemical．Every time your eye changes light to messages, a little bit of the chemical is used up．By the end of the day, you've looked at hundreds of things．That uses up a lot of the chemical．Your eyes need to make more．

　　What should you eat if you don't like carrots? Don't worry．Other fruits and vegetables have Vitamin A too．The secret is in their color．Most orange or red fruits store some beta-carotene, or Vitamin A．Sweet potatoes, red peppers, mangoes(芒果)are a few that have the same orange secret．Can you think of any more?
