26、I have been on the journey of self-development and self-improvement for some time now. I have learned the most important lessons that can only be learned better if experienced.
【1】
Whatever is happening, whether good or bad, trust your life. It is not that we should blindly trust everything. We should work out what’ in our control. 【2】. People who can’t trust the process of their lives cannot expect to excel in their lives.
Be patient in your life
Things will come around if you’re patient. Patience is the key to success. People who cannot afford to wait should not expect better results. Greatness takes time. Just remember it takes 13 hours to build a Toyota but 6 months to build a Rolls-Royce. 【3】.
Be optimistic but not overly optimistic
We must be optimistic in our lives. 【4】. However, being optimistic doesn't mean that we should be overconfident. Optimism is good, but overoptimism isn’t because that can easily ruin the chances of getting successful. It should be like “I can do it.” and not “Oh, it is so easy; obviously I will do it.”
Be kind and humble
One of the most common traits (特质) in people who succeeded is that they are all kind and humble. 【5】. No matter what the trend becomes, nothing can beat the power of kindness. Kindness is the essence of our existence and if we sustain it, we can make huge impacts on the lives of other people.
A.Trust the process.
B.Have faith in everything.
C.So do the work and take your time.
D.Overconfidence may bring about failure.
E.If we can’t work out what isn’t, then leave it.
F.Optimism can turn any situation into an achievable one.
G.Nowadays, many people don’t believe in these moral values.

The likelihood of eating breakfast seems to decline as kids get older, dropping from about 96 percent of 2-to 5-year-olds to 73 percent of children aged 12 to 19. The report notes that breakfast consumption is about 10 percent less among children from lower-income families than among those whose families have a higher income. 【2】
As is mentioned above, for most youngsters, breakfast is part of their daily routine. 【3】 Although its popularity does decline with age, it is consumed by about half of the youngest to not quite a third of the oldest youths. Also high on the menu list of all ages is ready-to-eat cereal. About 20 percent of youngsters are drinking water at breakfast, and the remaining items among their favorites include pancakes (or waffles or French toast), eggs and fruit juice.
【4】 Researchers at the American Academy of Pediatrics say that breakfast has been linked to improvements in the attention and memory, better test scores, a healthier weight and better nutrition overall. 【5】 The CDC report says that the percentage of breakfast-eaters among American kids has held steady since it was last studied about 10 years earlier.
A.Milk is the most common food or drink on their menu.
B.Not having breakfast can lead to low learning efficiency.

28、Urban Transportation in Canada
Public transportation & Transit passes
All cities and most major towns in Canada have a public transportation system with one or more modes of transportation (bus, subway, train, etc.). The bus is the most common form of urban transportation in Canada. To use public transportation, you must purchase a ticket or a transit pass. Transit passes allow you unlimited use of public transportation for a specific period (one month or more). They are usually cheaper than buying many tickets if you plan to use public transportation often.
Transportation for people with disabilities
Public transportation often has features to assist people with disabilities. In many cities and towns, there are also transportation services available specifically for people with limited mobility, such as specially equipped buses. You can find out about these services in the same way you would learn more about other public transportation options.
Etiquette on public transportation
When taking public transportation such as a bus or train, it is important to understand the unspoken rules of conduct in the shared space. Here are a few things to note:
◆ Be polite and respectful to others around you. For example, maintain an appropriate noise level when talking or making a phone call.
◆ If you are carrying a backpack or a large shoulder bag in a crowded public transit vehicle, keep it close to you, preferably at your feet to avoid hitting people with it as you walk by.
◆ Avoid pushing or touching others in order to make more room for yourself. Sometimes public transit can become very crowded, but it is important to keep calm and give others appropriate personal space.
◆ Have your proof of payment accessible in case you are asked to show it.

29、“Red tourism”, a new form of tourism in which people visit locations and memorials(纪念碑)of historical significance to the Communist Party of China, has given a much-needed shot in the arm of the domestic(国内的)tourism industry in summer. And red tourism will be more popular during the National Day Golden Week holiday.
Ticket bookings for red tourism sites in June increased by five times with local and short trips to red tourism sites being the choice of about 88 percent of such tourists. And the search for the term “red tourism” on Mafengwo, a Chinese travel service and social-networking platform, increased by 300 percent during the summer holidays.
Red tourism is not only about the joy of visiting a new place and taking in the wonderful sights. It is also about gaining knowledge about history and being inspired by the stories of the people who gave their lives to the founding of the People’s Republic in 1949 and worked for the wellbeing of the Chinese people. By rediscovering history and passing on the stories of the Chinese revolution and its heroes to the next generations, people can uplift their spirit.
Red tourism can also be used as an opportunity to develop rural(农村的)areas because most of the revolutionary bases and red tourism sites are in the countryside. It can raise the incomes of local people, Since red tourism creates jobs and helps increase farmers’ incomes, it can develop local development.
Data show that in the first half of 2022, more than 30 percent of all tourists visited red tourism sites in rural areas, which was 10 percent more than the last year. Yet red tourism faces certain developmental problems, mainly because some local government officials have failed to make the best use of red tourism resources for local development.
