People usually feel excited when they go on vacation.But most people feel blue when coming home after travelling.And this feeling is called post-vacation blues.If you feel blue after travelling，here are some ways to help you get out of this bad feeling.
Give yourself a week to relax first.You don't need to think what to do next and just be relaxed.You can show your pet some love if you have one，watch your favourite TV shows or listen to relaxing music.
After a week，do something useful and keep yourself busy.For example，when I came back from Europe，I felt blue because I didn't have a job and was living with my parents.So I decided to find a job and make myself busy.If you don't need a job，just try something like painting your room or tidying your house.You can also do exercise，learn to cook，visit your friends and just do anything you want!
It's also a good idea to make a photo book and plan your next trip.Your photos taken on vacation help you remember the good times you had.And you can plan to take another trip.Just like Elbert Hubbard said， "No man needs a vacation so much as the man who has just had one."
Next time when you feel blue，remember to try these ways.You'll find going back to the real life is not so terrible as you think.

A. Buying a new pet. B. Painting your room.

While Bert tries to open the case，Dacty flies down and grabs Eric.The thief is so scared that he can't say a thing.Dacty flies up and leaves him on top of a statue.He's stuck.
Bert is so busy opening the case that he doesn't see what is happening. "Hey，where's the drill？" he says，but there is no answer.

Success is often measured by the ability to overcome difficulties.But it is often the belief of others that gives us the courage to try.
J.K.Rowling，author of the Harry Potter book series，began writing at the age of 6.In her biography，she remembers with great fondness when her good friend Sean，whom she met in secondary school，became the first person to encourage her and help build the confidence that one day she would be a very good writer.
"He was the first person with whom I really discussed my serious ambition to be a writer.He was also the only person who thought I must be a success at it， which meant much more to me than I ever told him at the time."
It was on a long train journey from London to Manchester that the idea of Harry Potter simply fell into her head. "To my great frustration，I didn't have a working pen and was too shy to borrow one.Luckily，I just sat and thought for four hours as the train was delayed，and all the details came to me，making that black-haired boy feel increasingly real."
That same year，her mother passed away after a ten-year battle with serious illness，which deeply affected her writing.She went on to marry and had a daughter，but separated from her husband shortly afterwards.During this time，Rowling had a serious mental illness—depression.Without a job，she completed her first novel in area cafes.After being refused by 12 publishing houses，the first Harry Potter novel was sold to a small British publishing house.
Now with seven books that have sold nearly 400 million copies in 64 languages，J.K.Rowling is the highest-earning novelist in history.And it all began with her love for writing that was encouraged by a friend!

C. That Sean believed she would certainly succeed in writing.
D. That Rowling kept writing though she had many setbacks.
38.What might the underlined word "frustration" mean in the 4th paragraph？ ______
A. anger B. excitement C. satisfaction D. disappointment
39.Which of the following difficulties did Rowling experience？ ______
①Her mother died after a long illness. ②She had a daughter with depression.
③She was refused by many publishers. ④She wrote novels while working in a cafe.
A. ①③ B. ①④ C. ①③④ D. ①②③④

I think both travelling and reading are great.Travelling lets me see new places and learn about different cultures.Last summer，I visited a small town with my family.It was beautiful and taught me a lot about local life.
