Bargain（廉价购买）shopping is popular among most people throughout the world. The main reason is that people know they get the opportunity（机会）to save money. But in order to buy things at the lowest prices, you need to follow certain tips.      

　Use the Internet. You have more shopping areas by shopping online. You can go to many online stores. You are able to see various products with different prices in them. Through going online, you can compare the products’ prices and qualities（质量）.

　Use online coupons(优惠券). By using these coupons, you can even expect a discount (折扣) of 50% on what you want to buy. There are many websites that offer these coupons and they have different kinds of goods for you.

　Shop at the right time. It is a known fact that there are certain items that go on sale in certain months of the year. Keep an eye on such sales and visit the store only during those particular times of the year in order to receive the best offers.

　Use a shopping list. By acquiring the habit of writing a shopping list, you will always remember to buy the things you want. If you just enter a store and start buying things that you are interested in, you will probably end buying many cheap things that you may not need.

　Take part in online auctions（拍卖）. If you are familiar with online shopping, you should take part in online auctions. Some websites such as e-bay offer auctions and give you the opportunity to buy products at low prices.

        A farming game becomes popular on the Internet as users get up in the morning to steal crops and fruit from their friends’ farms and become the kings of virtual (虚拟的) farming.

      Just like the farm game “kaixin 001” in Chinese. Users can plant crops, and raise chickens and sheep, and the harvest can be sold and exchanged for experience points to increase the attraction. Players can sneak into (潜入) their friends’ farms and steal crops. The more practiced a user gets in planting crops, the more virtual money he or she can make. That makes it much more fun than just killing time on the Internet.

     Now more city white collars, young office ladies in particular, are going online to live a country life. ________ that they set the alarm for an early rise every day, when they start up the computer and go farming. If they overslept, their fields would turn into a tourist farm where anyone takes whatever he or she wants. They can use a virtual network to plant, water crops, get rid of pests, harvest and sell their crops, and they can raise chickens and cows, and buy dogs to guard the farm. The whole process is much more interesting than electronic chickens, and seeing the results of their own hard work pile in the storage offers some kind of satisfaction in an otherwise boring daily life.

     Compared with wasting some time on line, the game is more interesting. 

Drugs are harmful and addictive. But young children may not know this. Use this guide to help teach your children to avoid drugs.

Make sure that what you tell your children is true. If you tell them that marijuana(大麻）can kill them, but in fact it can’t, then when they find out the truth, they will be hurt that you lied to them, and will no longer believe other things you tell them.

Never order them not to take drugs. This is especially important to older kids and teenagers. Most teenagers go through the stage of rebellion. When you forbid them to do something, it only makes them want to do it more. Tell them that drugs can be harmful and addictive and that they can ruin their life, but don’t forbid them to take drugs.

Do your best to build your children’s confidence and help them out of trouble. Adult drug addicts often had troubled childhoods or an extremely traumatic experience in their younger years, such as a divorce or death in the family. Many teenagers take drugs because they are unwilling to face problems and want to escape in this way. Encourage your children to overcome difficulties and make sure your children know that you love them.

Tell your children to stop spending time with friends who take drugs because children usually can’t resist temptation(诱惑) or they have to take drugs because of peer pressure. But you shouldn’t force them to do that. Being controlling and overprotective by keeping your children out of their social situations will only cause them to lose respect for you and mistrust your judgment. Remember that the choice is always theirs, and controlling their life will only make them more likely to use drugs to escape.

I have a friend called Joe. We grew up in the same little town, and I went to school with him. He has an older brother called Frank who was severely disabled. As these two brothers grew up, Joe got married, had a family, and moved into an old house. Frank lived with his mother until her health failed. Then Joe took his brother into his own home to care for him. Frank required much care, especially as he began to get older.

This old house where Joe lived was not constructed very well. It was cold in winter, and hot in summer. The electrical system was not working properly. The yard around the house was not beautiful.

An old “Town Father” called Sam had been watching Joe. He recognized Joe' s circumstances. Sam arranged for materials to build a house for Joe, his family, and his brother. He organized the local townspeople for the purpose of building Joe a “House In A Day”. Could it be done? It would take a great deal of cooperation and scheduling! The townspeopleconsented toSam’s decision. This house was to be a two-storey structure with over 1,200 square feet on each floor. The footings and the foundation had been previously prepared. Materials were purchased and on site. Crew were organized. Schedules were set.

At 2:00 a. m., the first crew arrived. How amazing it was to see literally hundreds of people working on his house at the same time. inside and outside. I was helping put on the roof of. Some were laying up a chimney and some were setting up the windows while still others were pouring the porches, etc. Twenty-six hours later, not quiet a "House In A Day". the last crew went to their own homes. A few days later, Joe and his family along with Frank, moved into the beautiful new home!

Can you imagine the love that Joe feels from all these good people each and every time he meets one of them? It sounds like a story out of a story book. But it isn't. I was there, and I continue to experience that good feeling whenever I meet Joe.

   Nearly all tourists eat in restaurants, and dining is one of the top three tourist activities. But if you were in a country famous for its food, would you learn how to cook it? Welcome to the unusual form of culinary(烹饪的) tourism, where people go to another country to learn how to prepare its food. Cooking holidays are growing in popularity now.

   Disaster tourism is the act of visiting the site of a disaster. Examples include tours to New Orleans after Hurricane Katrina, to parts of Thailand after the tsunami(海啸) or tourist visits to ground zero in New York. This kind of tourism is not very popular with local people for understandable reasons.

Another growing area of tourism is literary tourism. This is a kind of cultural tourism and there are several types.
