21、 Traveling abroad can be risky even when you have the best intentions to get along with the natives. Everything from greeting to eating can be a chance to do something wrong, and not only embarrass yourself, but offend your host country friends. 【1】
Personal space varies as you travel the globe. First observe what locals are doing and follow suit. In eastern countries, remember that touching and public displays of affection are unacceptable. In places like Qatar and Saudi Arabia, men and women are forbidden from interacting in public, let alone touching.
Talking over dinner is not acceptable in Africa, Japan, Thailand and Finland. 【2】 You’re likely be met with silence-not because your group is unfriendly, but because mealtime is for eating, not talking. Also avoid their conversations in places a country might consider holy (神圣的) or only for reflection, for example, churches in Europe or temples in Thailand.The only suggestion for you is to keep quiet!
【3】 Take off your shoes when arriving at the door of a London dinner party and the host will find you impolite. But fail to remove your shoes before entering home in Asia, Hawaii or the Pacific islands, and you will be considered disrespectful. Not only does shoe removal very practically keep sand and dirt out of the house, it’s a sign of leaving the outside world behind. Then what should you do? 【4】 If not, keep the shoes on.
Once you are on the ground of a different country, remain highly sensitive (敏感的) to native behavior. Never be completely surprised by anything; try to take it in your stride, and don’t feel offended if something seems offensive (冒犯的). 【5】
A．If you see a row of shoes at the door, start undoing your laces (鞋带).
B．If you eat in these countries, you’d better not start chatting while everyone else is digging into dinner.

23、Ryan Hickman is only a little boy, but he's already been saving for his college fund with profits he's making from his recycling business.
When Ryan was a three-year-old boy, he went with his dad to the local recycling center and made money from a few bags of cans and bottles. When he learned money can be made from that, Ryan decided recycling was his future.
“We went to the center with a couple of bags, and he really loved the actual act of putting all the cans and bottles into the machine and getting the money from it, and that kind of act got him hooked,” described Damion Hickman, Ryan's father.
Ryan told his parents that he wanted to give empty plastic bags to all the neighbors and hoped they would save their recyclables for him. Not only did the neighbors save their cans and bottles for Ryan but so did their co-workers, families, and friends. Soon after, Ryan started his own business, Ryan's Recycling, and has since recycled over 200,000 cans and bottles. Every week, he and his family sort through bags of recyclables and they take them to the local recycling center where they are sorted and weighed.
So far, Ryan has saved more than $ 10,000 for college from his profits and he also sells T-shirts on his website and donates the profits to the Pacific Marine Mammal Center in Laguna Beach. “For the sea lions to get food and medicine,” he said.
Ryan has an important message for everyone, “If you already recycle, just keep on recycling. If you don't recycle, start recycling.” Always a great businessman, Ryan added, “If you want to buy one of these T-shirts, it's about $ 13 on ryansrecycling. com.”

24、 Hydration (水合作用) sometimes takes a backseat to other health goals or priorities (优先). Here’s everything you need to know to stay hydrated.
Know why water is good for you
Doctors and dietitians always talk about the importance of hydration. The cells, tissues, and organs of your body need water to function.【1】, which include transporting nutrients and helping to remove waste. Water is so important that the average human body only lasts about three to four days without it.
【2】
There is no perfect calculation to determine how much water you should drink a day. There are too many contributing factors, such as altitude, climate, activity level, diet, and personal medical history.【3】, your body needs more fluid to process the food.
So how much water should you drink a day? On average the daily recommended fluid intake for women is around 11 glasses of water and 13 glasses for men. Plain water is ideal for hydration, but all fluid helps.
Know whether you need water
An easy way to see if you are drinking enough water is to check your urine (尿液). If you are only producing small amounts of urine infrequently and it’s dark in color, you need to drink more water. Of course, if you have dry mouth or thirst, you should drink more water, too.【4】.
Know how you can drink enough water
Worrying and wondering how much water you should drink a day won’t happen if you break up your water intake. Drink 18 ounces of water at 7:00 a. m., 12:00 p. m., 3:00 p. m., and 7:00 p. m.【5】. By the time you’re thirsty, you’re likely already dehydrated. And thirst isn’t always a reliable indicator of fluid needs, especially in children and the elderly.
A. If you eat a high-fiber diet
B. Water plays many vital roles
C. If you eat less food than usual
D. Know how much water you need
E. Know where you can get the water
F. Don’t rely on your thirst to remember to drink water
G. How much water you should drink a day depends on situations
