21、 The magic of these book-lined buildings---libraries, really filled my childhood with delight. Parenthood helped me experience that joy again.
I was raised in the countryside of Cleveland, just a few blocks from the brick-faced library, Bertram Woods. I went there several times a week with my mother. She and I would walk in together, but as soon as we passed through the door, we each headed to our favorite section separately. We all valued books, but my parents believed that the reading of the book was a journey. There was no need for souvenirs. When I left for college, one of the many ways I made myself different from my parents was that I went wild for owning books. Buying textbooks was what got me going, but I lost my appreciation for the slow pace of making my way through a library and for having books on borrowed time.
I might have spent the rest of my life thinking about libraries in the way I thought about the amusement park I went to as a kid. And they might have become just a bookmark of memory, something that was mixed with “mother” and “the past” in my mind. That changed in 2011 when my son got his school homework---to interview someone who worked for the city. I suggested talking to a police officer, but he said he wanted to interview a librarian.
As we drove to meet the librarian, I was flooded by a sense of absolute familiarity and the memory of this journey, of parent and child on their way to the library. I had taken this trip so many times before, but now it was turned on its head, and I was the parent bringing my child on that special trip.
From the outside, the decoration of the library didn't look anything like the brick Bertram Woods branch, but when we stepped in, the thunderbolt of recognition struck me so hard that it made me out of breath. There was the same soft tsk-tsk-tsk of pencil on paper, and the murmuring from readers at the tables in the center of the room. It brought me close to my mother and our journey to the library.
At that moment, the spell that libraries had once cast on me was renewed. Maybe it had never really been broken, although I had been away long enough that it was like visiting a country I’d loved but had forgotten as my life went swiftly by.

22、Being a sustainable traveler means keeping your ecological footprint low while supporting ethical economic development in local communities affected by tourism. The goal of sustainable travel is to meet the needs of the tourism industry without harming natural and cultural environments. 【1】.
Switch to reusable

【3】 Pay attention to how much water you’re using while on vacation by opting for short showers instead of baths and turning off the water while brushing teeth or shaving. Fill up your refillable and reusable travel containers with an eco-friendly biodegradable soap and shampoo, especially while camping.
Respect natural places
Remember that marked hiking trails are there for a reason, usually to help preserve the surrounding environment and keep native flora out of harm’s way.

23、If you and your friends wish to share a secret, you can write it in code, and no one else will be able to read it. Codes are one way of writing in secret Ciphers(暗码)are another. In a code each word is written as a secret code word or a code number. In a cipher each letter is changed.
Codes and ciphers have played an important role in the history of the world. Julius Caesar, the Roman ruler who defeated almost all the countries in Europe about 2,000 years ago, used a cipher when he sent secret messages to his troops. During the American Revolution, George Washington’s spies used a kind of code to send his information about the enemy before his military action. In World War Ⅱ. the Americans ”broke” or figured out Japan’s most important navy codes and got enough information to destroy a powerful Japanese fleet.
Storekeepers use codes to mark their goods. The codes show how much is paid for the goods or when they are added to the stock. Businessmen use codes to hide plans from their business enemies. Sometimes personal letters or diaries are written in code. Many people enjoy figuring out codes and ciphers simply as a hobby.
In the 16th century, codes and ciphers Were very popular among scientists. They wrote messages to each other in code so that no one else would learn their secrets. Geronimo Gardano, all Italian astrologer(占星家), mathematician, and doctor, invented the trellis cipher.
He took two sheets of paper and cut exactly the same holes in each one. Then he sent one sheet, which he called a trellis, to a friend and kept the other for himself. Whenever he wanted to write a message. he put his trellis over a clean sheet of paper and wrote the secret message through the holes. There he removed the trellis and filled the rest of the paper with words that would make sense. When his friend received it, he put his trellis over the writing and read the secret message.

Apart from its historical district, Vicenza is surrounded by beautiful hills and countryside where you can spend time walking, sightseeing, and having delicious meals in the numerous restaurants which serve typical foods and good drinks. Moreover, in Vicenza’s countryside there are splendid villas. This is where many Venetians used to spend their summers, farming their land during the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries.
Vicenza is a must-see for people fond of historical works. In addition, there are jazz and classical music concerts, ballets, and theatre performances, mostly during the autumn. It may be that young people feel Vicenza is not a place where they can have fun, but there are also pizzerias and pubs where contemporary music is performed, so they can have a good time there, too. Everyone needs to come to Vicenza to get to know it. They will see and touch the contributions to beauty that it made to the world.
