Booking Online and Saving the Environment
When you are looking to book a holiday, it is unlikely that you will think about how green your booking decision is, but it is definitely something that should be taken into consideration. By “green” we are of cour talking about the impact on the environment.
When looking to book a holiday, you will probably find that you are faced with two main decisions. The first is to go into a travel agency, pick up a stack of brochures half the size of a person read through them and go back with just the one and book with the travel agents directly or over the phone. The cond is to miss out the shops and brochures altogether and go on to the Internet.
The Internet holds many advantages over the high street travel agents, the main one being convenience. You can go online to look at holidays at any time of the day, whether it is in that 20 minutes before work starts in the morning, half an hour at your desk at lunchtime or even at home on your laptop in front of the television at night. There are no time constrains to going online, while the travel agents are usually massively busy at times when people can actually go, i.e. Lunch hours or at the weekend. You could u the telephone but you wouldn’t be able to e the pictures or all the details of the holidays, so you would probably be nt a brochures anyway.
There are websites on the Internet that make shopping for holiday deals much easier. The websites are known as price comparison websites. Icelolly, Travel Supermarket and Deal Checker are examples of some of the best known price comparison sites to look for cheap holiday deals, and they esntially arch through lots of different tour operators so that you don’t have to. The results are then displayed on one page from which you can book, meaning that you don’t even need a lot of time to do this.
The contrast with the travel agencies id that you probably have to take two trips, with brochures reading in between, and this is where the green side of things comes in. The piles and piles of brochures are definitely not green, and the amount of unnecessary paper ud can’t be good for the environment. In the days of Internet, smartphone, tablets and computers, there is really no need for such a large amount of paper to be wasted. So not only will it save you time and effort to book online, it will do a little bit towards saving the environment too!

Spilt Milk
Have you heard of the story of “spilt milk?” Well, we all know it is no u crying over spilt milk．But this story is different．I would hope all parents would respond in this manner.
I recently heard a story about a famous rearch scientist who had made veral very important medical breakthroughs. He was interviewed by a newspaper reporter who asked him why he was so much more creative than the average person; what t him so far apart from others?

He responded that it all came from an experience with his mother that occurred when he was about two years old．He had been trying tohilarious remove a bottle of milk from the refrigerator when he lost his grip on the slippery bottle and it fell, spilling its contents all over the kitchen floor－a veritable a of milk!
When his mother came into the kitchen, instead of yelling at him, giving him a lecture, or punishing him, she said, “Robert, What a great and wonderful mess you have made! I have rarely en such a huge puddle of milk. Well, the damage has already been done. Would you like to get down and play in the milk for a few minutes before we clean it up?”walk the walk
Indeed, he did. After a few minutes, his mother said, “You know, Robert, 新视野大学英语读写教程第四册课文翻译whenever you make a mess like this, eventually you have to clean it up and restore everything to its proper order．So, how would you like to do that? We could u a sponge, a towel, or a mop．Which do you prefer?” He cho the sponge and together they cleaned up the spilt milk．
His mother then said, “Robert, what we have here is a failed experiment in how to effec
tively carry a big milk bottle with two tiny hands．paranoidLet's go out in the backyard and fill the bottle with water and e if you can discover a way to carry it without dropping it.” The little boy learned that if he grasp the bottle at the top near the lip with both hands, he could carry it without dropping it. What a wonderful lesson!
