People living in the UK take quite a few holidays abroad and in the country each year. Choices made about where to go, how to get there and what to do can either benefit or harm the environment.

       While on holiday

       Many of the things you can do to the greener on holiday will be the same things you can do at home—but there are also some extra things too, like avoiding gifts made from endangered plants and animals. Here are some suggestions:

       ●Switching off any air conditioning, heating and lights will help reduce climate change effect.

       ●Save water—some countries suffer from water shortages and saving water can help avoid damage to our natural habitats（棲息地）.

Endangered species(物種)

       Some gifts and foods available in some countries can be made from endangered plants or animals. Check before you buy, but if you doubt, avoid animal and plant gifts. More details of the types of products to avoid any illegal trade hotspots can be found on the Souvenir Alert webpage.

閱讀理解。
     If American customs seem strange, remember that Americans feel the same way when they visit
another country, people living in different cultures do many daily things differently from one another.
What a dull(not interesting or boring) the world would be if this were not true!
     Some differences are small, and one soon becomes used to them. For example, many people find
it strange that Americans move from place to place so often. Born in one city, they may attend school
in a second, enter business in a third, and perhaps move several times during their lives. Today, most
Americans fully expect and accept the fact that they will move frequently.
     However, houses are of great interest to Americans. They spend a lot of time thinking, reading and
talking about their homes and how to improve them. They also enjoy looking at other people's houses,
since they would enjoy visiting and examining a house in another country, they may suppose that you
will probably have the same desire(strong wish) when you visit the United States. So do not be
surprised when you visit an American family and are shown every room in the house besides the
bathroom and kitchen.
