Travelling can be a way to gain life experiences,especially during Spring Break—a week long school vacation in the United States. But what if you’re a student and don’t have enough money for a trip? Don’t worry. Here are some useful suggestions.
Save:This probably is the most important preparation for travelling. Cut expenses to fatten_your_wallet so you will have more choices about where to go and how to get there.
Plan ahead:Don’t wait until the last minute to plan your trip. Tickets may cost more when bought on short notice. Giving yourself several months to get ready can mean security and savings.
Do your homework:No matter where you go,research the places you will visit. Decide what to see. Travel books will provide information on the cheapest hotels and restaurants.
Plan sensibly:Write down what you expect to spend for food and hotels. Stick to your plan or you may not have enough money to cover everything.
Travel in groups:Find someone who is interested in visiting the same place. By travelling with others you can share costs and experiences.
Work as you go:Need more money to support your trip? Look for work in the places you visit.
Go off the beaten path:Tourist cities may be expensive. You may want to rethink your trip and go to a lesser-known area. Smaller towns can have many interesting activities and sights.
Pack necessary things:The most important things to take are not always clothes. Remember medicine in case you get sick and snacks in case you cannot find a cheap restaurant.
Use the Internet:The Net can help to save money. Some useful websites include www.Travelocity.com,www. bargains-lowestfare.com and www.economictravel.com.
By planning sensibly,even students can enjoy the travel. Your travel experiences will be remembered for a lifetime.

Children like to imagine they are someone else in a game. As a parent you might never guess how it can benefit your child. It helps your child:
Develop Social Skills
As children play pretend games,they explore relationships between family members,friends and co­workers and learn more about how people interact.Playing doctors,they imagine how physicians care for their patients.Imaginative play helps develop empathy(移情) with others.If children can imagine how it feels to be left out of a game or to lose a pet,they are better able to help those in need.They become more willing to play fair,to share,and to cooperate.
Build Self­confidence
Young children have very little control over their lives.Imagining oneself as a builder of skyscrapers or a super hero defending the planet is inspiring to children.It helps them develop confidence in their abilities and their potential.
Promote Intellectual Growth
Using imagination is the beginning of abstract thought.Children who can see a king's castle in a mound of sand or a delicious dinner in a mud pie are learning to think symbolically.This skill is important in school where a child will have to learn that numbers symbolize groups of objects,letters symbolize sounds,and so on.
Practice Language Skills
Kids who pretend with their friends do a lot of talking.This helps increase their vocabulary,improve sentence structure and develop communication skills.
Get Rid of Fears
Pretending can help children get rid of their fears and worries.When children role­play the big,bad monster under the bed,they gain a sense of control over him and he doesn't seem quite so big or so bad.
小題1:Which of the following can help children develop social skills in a game?
A.Pretending to be a super hero.
B.Preparing a delicious dinner with mud.
C.Helping a doctor to attend patients.
D.Pretending to be a doctor.
小題2:Why can imagination build children's self­confidence?
A.It makes them feel as if they were much more powerful than they really are.
B.It helps them protect people and make much greater progress.
C.It helps them gain control over themselves.
D.It makes them more willing to play fair.
小題3:Which of the following is NOT true according to the article?
A.While playing pretend games,children learn to get along with others.
B.Playing pretend games helps children to do well while they are in school.
C.Playing pretend games only helps children psychologically.
