Summer is the best time for traveling. When summer comes, people are wondering where to spend the holiday.

Here we will introduce you some of the best destinations.

Santorini

Santorini offers a unique landscape of beaches in colors of black, red, and white, a product of their volcanic

sand. Imagine swimming in the warm mythic Aegean sea, with volcano and sunsets as a backdrop. Churches are

built into caves and are astonishingly beautiful.

Prince Edward Island

Canada’s smallest province proves a big draw for those keen to escape modern life and all its stresses. Known

for its brilliant red sand beaches, this is the perfect getaway. The food here is legendary with the local seafood

topping most menus. Cycling and skiing, hunting and fishings it’s all about the great outdoors here. With so much

to do, it’s no surprise that visitors return to Prince Edward Island again and again.

Grand Cayman

Hit the shops in George Town, the capital, where all the best designer brands can be found. You’ll be spoilt ( 宠

坏的)for choice although the crescent-shaped Seven Mile Beach is the most obvious destination. Head out on the

water where coral reefs await. Great food, great weather and great tourist attractions for all what’s not to like about

gorgeous Grand Cayman?

Lofoten Island

This is a wilderness unequalled in its beauty, where giant sea eagles soar. Visitors are drawn to the islands to

experience the Northern Lights and Midnight Sun at close quarters and for those keen to get back to nature and

escape the beaten track, there can be nowhere better. For a real treaty we recommend kayaking between islands

before finding a nice quiet restaurant and enjoying the, fresh ingredients.

I was a recent graduate of a leading business school and I was to join a big company in Gomia, Bihar. The

company chose only the best, and I was full of it.

The night train from Calcutta would reach Gomia in the morning. I had a letter that said there would be a car

to pick me up from the station and take me to the Guest House. However

I found no person in sight to receive

me when I got off the train. I felt let down. I carried the luggage on my shoulder and came to the exit. There I saw a

nice car. The driver was walking towards the car .Ah, my driver, there he was!

I went up to him and asked him to carry my luggage. He asked me who I was and I introduced myself. The

driver opened the back door and had me seated. Along the way, he asked me some questions about me and my

family. I was angry with the driver who asked too much and answered him in monosyllables (只言片语). After

reaching the Guest House, we said goodbye.

The next day was a big day. I was to meet the boss of the place, Dr. S. K. Kamat, and I was nervous. I knocked

on the door and walked into the large office. The big man had his back to me and as he turned, I recognized the

man immediately. He was the driver!

He gave me a broad smile and said he was S. K. Kamat. I could have died at that moment. I apologized for my

behavior and was at a loss for words. He said that he had come to the station to see off a friend. And he had seen me

and wanted to be of assistance. He never referred to the incident almost as if it didn’t happen. When I walked out of

the office, I learned a great lesson.

Do you get nervous thinking about a coming math test? If yes, you are far from alone. Math anxiety has

become a common condition among students around the world. Students in countries with higher levels of math

anxiety tend to achieve lower math grades, according to a study published by the National Academy of Sciences on

Feb 15.

Math anxiety — a negative emotional reaction to the core subject — causes fear, physical suffering and

behavior problems among young pupils, according to a University of Cambridge study. Some people also

experience physical symptoms such as sweaty palms or a racing heart. They may then try to avoid every situation

involving numbers, meaning they are held back from pursuing careers related to this subject, such as technology or

engineering, according to The Guardian.

Relief comes from the fact that those with math anxiety aren’t destined (注定的) to be bad at math. “If a child

has math anxiety, don’t assume that they’re not good at math. They may have had a really bad experience with

math and there are ways to improve math achievement,” Daniel Ansari, the senior author of the study told The

London Free Press.

Also, there are ways to manage your stress related to math. If you’re feeling stressed before a math exam, it

may help to spend a few minutes exploring those feelings before the exam begins. “It’s about making sure you’re

interpreting your feelings correctly,” Sian Beilock, a cognitive (认知的) scientist told the BBC. “Just because you

have a fast heartbeat and sweaty palms, that does not necessarily mean you will fail.”

Math doesn’t come easy, no matter how clever you are. Leonardo da Vinci, the famous Italian artist, was a

huge fan of mathematics. But his notebooks show that Da Vinci couldn’t do fractions (分数). He could never grasp,

for instance, that dividing a number by one-quarter is the same as multiplying by four, resulting in a higher number

than the original.

8. What do we know about math anxiety?

A. People who are good at math don’t experience math anxiety.

B. It is most commonly seen among teenagers.

C. It can cause unpleasant symptoms both mentally and physically.
