Melbourne, Australia
Melbourne is a hot-spot travel destination, and it’s easy to see its beautiful beaches and busy city life.
Why it’s a great choice: Australia as a whole is considered a safe destination for international travel, and because of that, many solo travelers go there as an English-speaking country, you won’t be faced with any language barriers. Melbourne is easy to get around because you can walk or bike practically anywhere!
Thailand
Thailand is great for solo travelers—perhaps because it is one of the Buddhist mindsets, which promote equality among the sexes.
Why it’s a great choice: Thailand is known for its friendly atmosphere, and as a travel hot-spot, there are plenty of chances to meet other like-minded travelers. It is well known for being very cheap, especially in the north. It is a good choice if you want to get away on a budget. Thailand has a lot to offer, from the party-central Bangkok to beautiful beaches and tropical(熱帶)jungle.
Hong Kong, China
Hong Kong is a great place to relax for solo travelers as it is full of “Zen moments,” such as beautiful gardens and Tai Chi classes.
Why it’s a great choice: Hong Kong is regarded as one of the safest cities in the world. If you’re not well-traveled, or perhaps a bit tired of things like language barriers, Hong Kong is a great place to start, as it mixes both Eastern and Western at the same time.
Bali, Indonesia
Bali is a spiritual place with yoga, spas, healthy food and beaches. The combination of friendly people and splendidly visual culture has made Bali Indonesia number one tourist attraction.
Why it’s so great: You won’t be the only solo traveler in Bali. Everyone is known for being extremely friendly and you’re sure to meet some amazing characters along the way. As a Hindu island, Bali is the perfect place for a relaxing and spiritual retreat(靜修). The Sacred Monkey Forest in Ubud is fantastic—if you like monkeys, anyway.

Many managers believe that overworking is an evidence of devotion from their employees’ side. Still few others regard this custom as a threat to the worked work-life balance, which may negatively influence the level of productivity and efficiency.
Employees at Amsterdam design studio Heldergroen won’t be putting in much overtime. Not in the office, at any rate, because every day at 6:00 pm, their desks, tables and other work surfaces, with their computers attached, are lifted to the ceiling by steel cables (繩索) normally used to move heavy props (道具) in theatrical productions. If you leave a half-eaten sandwich on your desk, you’ve out of luck.
“Once the chairs and other workplace paraphernalia are cleared away, the space is free for evening and weekend use as a dance floor, yoga studio... or anything else you can think of—the floor is actually yours,” director Sander Veenendaal said.
In a way, the office space itself is working overtime for Heldergroen, bringing about lots of publicity and carrying an enlightened (有啟發(fā)的) message of career-life balance far and wide. “We think that doing activities like this makes it easier for people to work here,” says Veenendaal. “You know when it is time to relax or do something else that inspires you.”
That sounds awesome. There’s just one catch. In the morning, the desks reappear and everybody has to go back to work.
1.What can we learn about the employees at Heldergroen?
A. They are unwilling to work late.
B. They are persuaded to leave the office earlier.
C. They believe overworking is an evidence of devotion.
D. They are to put away their computers after work.
2.What does the underlined word “paraphernalia” in Paragraph 3 refer to?
A. Props. B. Food.
C. Equipment. D. Cables.
3.What does the author think of the Heldergroen’s office design?
A. Creative. B. Inconvenient.
C. Ordinary. D. Strange.

Do the Chinese people text in English words and Chinese characters? Of course most people in China text in our native language, which is the Chinese language. But I guess the reason that people ask this question is that they couldn’t imagine how people type thousand of Chinese characters with only 26 letters. As a matter of the fact, it’s only a small piece of cake. There are such many methods to type Chinese on computers and phones, of which the more popular is the pinyin system. Every child in China learn pinyin to pronounce Chinese words. It’s similar the International Phonetic Alphabet. With 26 letters, anyone can type Chinese. It is no problem trouble the Chinese people now.

Noticing the signals that people send out with their body language is a very useful social skill.1.Fortunately, with a little extra effort, you can learn to read body language, and with enough practice it'll become second nature.
2.The closer they are, the warmer they are thinking of you. The farther away that someone is, the less they actually care about the situation or person. If you move slightly closer to them, do they move slightly further away? That means they don't want your communication to be any more personal than it already is.3.And if they respond by getting even closer to you, they probably really like you or are very comfortable around/by you.
It is worth noting that personal space is culturally different; keep in mind that what is considered close in one country is far away in another.
Check their arms.4.Though some people just cross their arms as a habit, it may indicate that the person is slightly reserved, nervous or embarrassed about their appearance and trying to cover it, or just trying to hide something on their shirt. If their arms are crossed while their feet are wider apart, this is a position of toughness or authority. If someone rests their arms behind their neck or head, they are open to what is being discussed or just easy-going in general. If their hands are on their hips(雙手叉腰), they might be waiting, impatient or just tired.5.
A. If they don't move further away, then they are willing to listen and accept.
B. How to read body language needs to be learned.
C. Some of us can read it naturally and some of us can’t at all.
D. If their hands are closed, they may be angry, or nervous.
E. People with crossed arms are closing themselves to social influence.
F. Pay attention to how close someone is to you.
G. Some people tend not to move further away.

If you watch British television on Friday March 15,you might be surprised to see celebrities wearing funny red noses and joking around.But don't worry.They're not mad.It's all part of a biannual fund-raising event called Red Nose Day.
Organized by the charity Comic Relief,founded in 1985 by two British comedians,the aim of the event it is to raise money to fight poverty and injustice in the UK and Africa.Celebrities and public figures support the event by making appearances on comic TV shows broadcast by the BBC.This year,for example,UK Prime Minister David Cameron appeared in a music video by One Direction,which the band produced for the event.
But Britons don't just raise money for charitable causes on one day a year.They do it all year round.One way of doing so is-by shopping in charity shops.These small,inconspicuous shops sell clothes,books and household goods just like any other shop But there's one big difference—everthing sold in the shops is second-hand.
There are nearly 10,000 charity shops in the UK,according to the Charity Retail Association.Their business model is simple: Anybody who has things they don't want anymore can donate them to a charity shop,where they are checked for damage,cleaned and priced.Most items go back on sale at a small part of their original price and the money that is made by selling them is used for a charitable cause.
The idea of buying used clothes may sound off-putting,but for shoppers who have less spending money,such as the elderly or those in low-paying jobs,it has been a welcome option for years.Now,shopping at charity shops is also becoming popular with young people looking for alternative fashion."You can find very unique clothes for a very cheap price.It doesn't bother me that other people may have worn them.I simply wash them before I wear them,"said Anne Marie,a 19-year-old Internet user from the US,in a comment on a Yahoo forum.
So next time you spot a charity shop,why not go inside?Who knows,you might find a lovely dress for just a few pounds.Even better,you can enjoy wearing it in the knowledge that your money helped a good cause.
1.Why did Cameron appear in One Direction's music video?
