To travel around the world is the dream of many adventurous people. But very few people can afford a global tour because hotels, food and airplane tickets are too expensive. Some people, however, have thought of some ways to realize their dreams.
Laura Cody and Tanbay Theune, a couple from Britain, decided to travel around the world. They have found a good way to pay for their trips. They look after pets for rich house owners. In exchange, they can stay in the houses for free. They have looked after horses, cows, cats, dogs and fish. In two years, the couple has been to Australia, Germany, Spain and Italy. They have stayed in big cities and small villages. The home owners are usually very generous and have given them food, wine and day trips.
Another person who tries to realize her travel dream is photographer Rhiannon Taylor. She travels around the world to visit, review and take photos of the best hotels. She shares the places she stays and the food she eats on the Internet with tens of thousands of followers.
With these ways of making money, traveling around the world is no longer a dream. More and more young people are thinking creatively to make their dream come true.

Smoking can cause cancers, heart problems and other diseases. Although almost everybody knows smoking is bad for health, people still smoke. Fortunately, actions are now being taken to stop smoking.
Beijing says no to smoke A new anti-smoking regulation（條例）will soon take effect on June 1 in Beijing. It is regarded as “China’s toughest（最嚴格的）ever” tobacco control regulation. According to the regulation, smoking is not allowed in all indoor public places, including public transportation. Those who break the rules will be fined up to 200 yuan. Teachers cannot smoke in front of students in primary and middle schools. Schools are also required to help students quit smoking and educate them about the harm of smoking. Beijing has set up an anti-smoking hotline (12320) and a WeChat account (Smoke-free-Beijing), to which people can send photos to report smokers. The public is also invited to vote （投票）on stop-smoking gestures on WeChat. So far, an image of a girl covering her nose has become the most popular pick.
