doing it,we can help our parents and understand them better.Besides,We

can also learn how to take care of ourselves.

People often think of the North Pole(北极)and the South Pole as similar frozen(冰冻的)
wastelands ().They are both places with very cold temperatures and few people live there.Most
of the area is uninhabited.However,the North and South Poles are not much alike (as people
may imagine.
The North Pole has no land,only thick ice.Temperatures seldom go above 32'F,at which water
turns into ice.Most of the time,it stays below zero.In winter temperatures are usually as low as
-32*F.
People might think that the ice would be thick and hard.However,this is not true in the Arctic.
The movement of the ocean water under the ice may often cause many different changes on the
surface.Sometimes the ice breaks into two opening lanes of water (called "leads".Anyone who
falls into a lead can be frozen to death in a few minutes.

If you do like art and history and feel like a real culture tourist,then let me give you some tips(
on how to visit the museum and get the most out of your visit.
31.
Let's start with your shoes first.When in the museum you won't walk that much,but you'll stand
in the same place a lot.And that could be tiring.Wearing comfortable shoes is really important.Many
exhibits(展品)are easily broken or damaged(被损坏的)and to prevent the damage,museums have a
special cooling system.32.
Don't spend over two hours at a museum.
From my experience,after two hours at the museum,you'll be too tired to continue exploring it.
33.Just walking around without a clear purpose or plan won't be the best experience.To really
enjoy the artworks,learn the stories behind them and have a great museum experience.Pick only one
collection and explore it deeply.
Ask questions.
If you visit the museum with a guide,feel free to ask your guide all the questions you have.34.
You just ask about everything that interests you.If you're going to visit on your own,you can always
ask the museum guards to advise you on which part of the museum to explore next.
Avoid taking pictures.
Museums are places to enjoy slowly.That way,they lead you to a different world.And although
some exhibits could be so beautiful and interesting to you,don't take photos of them.35.They are
often hundreds of years old.Another thing is that you are ruining (the experience of other
visitors and yourself.
A.Dress properly.
B.Remember to take a camera with you.
C.Use the advantage of having an expert with you.
D.My advice is to bring a sweater to put on when inside.
E.First,if using the flash,you're damaging the paintings
F.That's why the step of researching the collection is important.

set off from the starting point.They kept hiking along the Changjiang River for 5 kilometers until they
reached Jiannan Sandstone Wharf()and camped there.After a lunch break,they walked 5
kilometers back.The hike covered a distance of about 10 kilometers.And it was the same as walking
25 times around a school playground.
Starting in 2008,the 10-kilometer hike is a traditional moral education class of the school.Its
purpose is to develop students'strong will.Also,it helps make them enter the new term in good spirits.
For 13-year-old Liu Ying,what influences her most was that none of her classmates took a bus

and never give up.Since I walked 10 kilometers,there's no difficulty that I can't get over in the
coming school year,"he said.
