I am writing this letter to thank you for guidance you gave me. I was a perfectly stranger when reaching this city. Once lost myself in a downtown street, I stopped to ask some people for help. As you know, this is the first time for us to come up to this big city.
I bought a guidebook, and I still had difficulties in going around the city. The streets and shops puzzled me too much that I would rather stay indoors. It is your valuable guidance which has enabled me go about the city without any trouble. Now I begin to know how to take proper buses. Yesterday I went downtown with some of my schoolmates for shopping.
Lessons will begin after a few days. I will come over to sec you some day next week and tell you everything that has happened to me.

When my kids were small, I started a tradition in our house of giving eight gifts over the course of the eight days of Hanukkah (光明节). I liked the idea of ______ a candle every night and giving my children a gift to unwrap to ______. It was easy to go into a toy store and pick up something ______ less than $ 10 each, or even $ 1 each (at the Dollar Store). My children didn’t ask for anything much in particular and they ______ whatever they got.
As the years progressed, I ______ the tradition of eight ^fls for each night of Hanukkah.
But this year, Hanukkah ______ something else. My special-needs son decided that he wanted to ______ a computer, and it was up to me to buy all the parts of it. When I wouldn’t ______ that, he decided he wanted a PlayStation. Then Amazon gift cards. Then money. And it became clear that it wasn’t going to happen, he got ______.
I keep ______ him that Hanukkah isn’t about greed or materialism. It’s about the miracle of an oil lamp that ______ for eight days. It’s about being ______ of our heritage. It’s about freedom.
But he ______. I know deep down that his obsessions (迷恋) are out of his ______, and definitely out of mine. Having a special-needs child is as ______ as it gets. Some days are better than others and not all holidays ______ the way I hope. But despite his unrealistic requests, he’s a(n)______ child who is showing me the true meaning of life.

Common-sense Safety Tips for Travelling Abroad
When a holiday is just around the comer, you may be planning a trip abroad. But to enjoy a worry-free adventure abroad, you also should pay attention to the following common-sense safety tips for travelling abroad.
1.
Another reason to take only carry-on carriage---besides avoiding baggage fees---is that the less you have to carry around, the more quickly you can move, if necessary. You should always have a free hand. Besides, you won’t be exhausted from dragging all those bags around.2.
Lock it up.
Leave your hotel with only what you need and lock up the rest. Take a lock for your luggage just in case your hotel doesn’t offer a safe.3. If you don’t need all your cash and cards, don’t take them all with you when you go out for a day of sightseeing or shopping. Also, leave your passport in the hotel. Make photocopies of all your important documents and leave the hotel with a copy of your passport plus a one photo I.D. Why?4. If all of your identification is in it, imagine the trouble you have to go through to replace it all.
Think and Plan.
Always keep in mind that, when you travel abroad, you are in a place you don’t know well and you can always be a target. Trust your senses.5. After your arrival, ask the hotel staff and locals about the areas you are thinking of visiting, especially at night. And you should walk in well-lit areas at night and know how to contact the local police with your cell phone or a payphone in a foreign country, if necessary.
A. Travel light.
B. Pay by credit card.
C. Imagine having your bag stolen off a restaurant table.
D. You should also make it a habit to take your watch with you.
E. Plus, dragging lots of luggage is a dead giving away that you aren’t a local resident.
F. You should call ahead to be sure, especially if your luggage is made of cloth material.
G. You are smart and mature, so if something or some situation doesn’t feel safe, it probably isn’t.
Researchers say current exercise guidelines are unrealistic and argue that doctors should sometimes advise small increases in activity instead. They warn the 150-minute weekly target is beyond the reach of some people - particularly older individuals. And striving to reach these goals could mean the benefits of lighter exercise are overlooked. But public health officials say current recommendations have proven benefits in lowering the risk of heart disease.
There is increasing evidence that inactivity is linked to heart disease, Type 2 diabetes (糖尿病) and some types of cancer. UK guidelines for adults recommend at least two-and-a-half hours of moderate activity a week, in short periods of 10 minutes or more.
But in two separate articles in the BMJ, experts argue the message needs to change, with greater emphasis on making inactive people move more. Prof Philipe de Souto Barreto at the University Hospital of Toulouse, advises people who sit too much to make small increases in their activity levels - rather than pushing to achieve current goals. He points to previous studies which show even short periods of walking or just 20 minutes of vigorous activity a few times a month can reduce the risk of death, compared to people who do no exercise.
In the second article, Prof Phillip Sparking of the Georgia Institute of Technology, says doctors should tailor their advice --- particularly for older patients. He suggests using GP visits for people over 60 to discuss “realistic options” to increase activity — such as getting people to stand up and move during TV commercial breaks.
Prof Kevin Fenton at Public Health England, says: “Everyone needs to be active every day — short periods of 10 or more minutes of physical activity have proven health benefits, but getting 150 minutes or more of moderate activity every week is the amount we need to positively impact on a wide range of health conditions.” This includes reducing the risk of heart disease and type 2 diabetes.”
