Did you know Chinese are the second worst tourists in the world? According to a US survey, it’s sadly true. Why don’t some countries like Chinese tourists? Let’s take a look.

Nowadays, （81）　　　　 However, their bad manners mean they are often not so welcome when they arrive. Yuan Jialiang is a tour guide from Guangzhou. He was embarrassed when he guided a group to Europe.（82）　　　 Some local people looked around to find where the sound came from. Some Chinese tourists have many other bad habits. They throw things everywhere and jump queues（插隊(duì)）.（83）　　　　 Other tourists like taking shoes off when taking a plane.

（84）　　　　 But don’t worry. It’s easy to be a good tourist. Please read the following. When you have dinner with foreigners, it’s better to eat quietly. Don’t speak loudly with food in your mouth. At a buffet（自助餐）restaurant, you’d better not take too much food. Wasting food is not a good idea.（85）　　　　 When using the escalator（自動(dòng)扶梯），it is better to stand on one side of it.

A．At the airport, the tourists talked loudly.

B．You’d better not take photos when you are in the place with a ‘‘no photo’’ sign.

C．Chinese people love to travel to foreign countries.

D．Chinese people love to buy expensive things.

E．All these give Chinese tourists a bad name in foreign countries.

F．Some of them cross the road when the traffic lights are still red.

G．You should shake hands when you meet foreigners.

Now, there is a new-type school in New York, which has no everyday lessons, no class teachers and even no school buildings. It is called “City-as-School”. The name just means the city itself is the place where students learn their lessons. They are from the age of 15 to 18. The students choose areas of work which interest them. Then they help to do that work. One girl spends her week in a government office helping the public with problems like housing. Then she goes to help in a theatre for a day and she spends a week for first-year courses at college.

Well, students have to pass Maths and science exams before they enter the “school”. These subjects are not easy to provide in “City-as-School”. Teachers watch the progress of the students. The success rate (比率) is high. 80% of the students go to college after the “City-as-School”.

The students like the duty of their work. They have the sense of purpose. They know a lot about different kinds of work in the city. One of the students, Lizette Martinez, writes “ I want to say that I do not know where I would be right now if I had never become part of City-as-School. Leaving my regular high school and going to City-as-School was the best decision I have ever made. The way the school works to get you to go out there and learn different fields instead of sitting in a classroom is wonderful. For all those who are in between school and dropping out, go to CAS and it will change your life forever.”

City-as-School High School is the nation’s leading (引導(dǎo)) external (外部地) learning or experiential (來(lái)自經(jīng)驗(yàn)的) learning model for high school students.

Have you ever wished that you could brush your teeth while you’re moving? It turns out that scientists have the answer. There’s a special kind of edible toothpaste（牙膏）you can actually eat. You can use it to brush your teeth and eat it afterward. Without the need to spit（吐出）, edible toothpaste is really convenient.

　 NASA invented edible toothpaste in the 1960s. They made it for astronauts in space and people called it “the astronaut toothpaste”. This is because spitting out toothpaste in space can be dangerous. Without gravity（重力）it can go everywhere and can damage spacecraft computers if it gets inside them. Edible toothpaste doesn’t foam（起泡沫）either so there is no mess.

　 If you don’t like the sound of edible toothpaste, there’s also a special toothbrush you can buy. When people travel to a place without water, they often use it. You just need to chew and it cleans your teeth just like you are using a normal brush. After you finish brushing your teeth, you spit it out and get rid of it. No mess and no worries.
