Travelling is amazing, isn’t it Well, we are always on the look out for opinions and this week we asked some people what they disliked most about traveling abroad. Here are the most terrible things about travelling around the world.

When you go abroad, everything is different from the culture to what you eat and normal everyday things like shopping. Food is unlikely to be what you are used to back home. This is something you will have to get used to.

During the 2016 Rio Olympics, people were surprised to see the round, purple marks on the body of the famous American swimmer Michael Phelps. What happened to him In fact, he just visited a doctor of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) and had “cupping” (拔火罐) .
Massage (推拿) and acupuncture (针灸) are two other important kinds of TCM. Chinese massage can make you relaxed and fresh. Acupuncture takes away pain, though the look is funny.
TCM is an important part of Chinese culture. The earliest medical classic in China, Huangdi’s Classic on Medicine, came out more than 2, 000 years ago. The book is about the relationship between man and nature. Nature keeps balanced if yin and yang work well together. TCM helps to do that Quit especially, for some health problems, a doctor of TCM will not give you medicine. Instead, he may give you just a food plan and right ways to eat.
For example, it is common to eat on the way to school, at our desk, or in front of the TV. But TCM thinks it’s wrong. Here are the correct ways: Sit down to eat. While eating, turn off the TV and get away from the work desk. Eat seasonal foods. Do not miss any of the three meals. Also, get your body moving often. Just as the saying goes, “Running water is never stale.”
Nowadays, Traditional Chinese Medicine is becoming more and more popular around the world. A government report says that people in 183 countries and areas are now using TCM.

A．Cupping B．Massage C．Acupuncture D．Culture
53．Which of the following is right about Huangdi’s Classic on Medicine
A．It came out over 2, 000 years ago.
B．It mainly describes how to take medicine.
C．It is the greatest medical classic in China.
D．It is about the relationship between man and medicine.
54．If you want to stay healthy, what advice will you get from a doctor of TCM
①Eat on the way to school. ②Eat seasonal foods.
③Get your body moving often. ④Stay up late.
A．①② B．③④ C．②③ D．①④
55．What does the underlined word “stale” mean
A．Going cold B．Going well C．Going wrong D．Going bad
56．What’s the main idea of the passage
A．The Rio Olympics took place in 2006. B．Massage and Acupuncture are important.
C．The story of Michael Phelps is surprising. D．What Traditional Chinese Medicine is.

My Reading Habits
Reading has become one of the most popular life styles over the past years. Usually, I do some reading for half an hour before sleep every day and I spend more than seven hours reading every week. My favorite types of books are history books and novels because I think they are very interesting.
And when it comes to the way to get new books, I will go to the nearby bookshop and school library to buy or borrow some. The reason why I like reading is that it has so many advantages. It can not only open our eyes, but also bring us a lot of fun.
I think it is a good idea to write some notes when reading in order to develop a deeper understanding of the book.
