       Travel is never a matter of money but of courage. When you travel, you can see the world with your own eyes and       9       new experiences. But before you go, you should prepare well. First, don't forget your    10        if you travel abroad. Second, take a first-aid kit, because you never know    11         might happen. Third, learn a few local words so that you can ask the local people     12          . Most importantly, keep an open mind and       13          your thoughts with local people. As the Chinese proverb says, don't listen to what they say;      14      see.

       John has been a heavy smoker for over 20 years. He finally decided to stop smoking. So he saw a doctor to get some advice. 

       The doctor told John he used to smoke, too. "When I first tried giving up," he said, "I told myself that smoking is harmful to my health and dangerous to my family." 

       "After this fight in my mind, I gave up smoking for a while. But several days later, I would wake up again and forget about my decision completely. Maybe smoking is not so terrible? I would make excuses for myself. And what if I don't smoke around my family and go where nobody can see me?"            He kept giving up, but his excuses made him pick up cigarettes again and again. Finally, he decided to try a different way. "

        I took a cigarette in my hand, looked at it and told myself, 'Yes, this cigarette will make me happy. I want to smoke it. But I will give up!'" the doctor said excitedly. 

       "This way worked, and I have not smoked a cigarette since then. The reason why I think I succeeded is that I didn't fool myself into trying to make a bad image (形象) of cigarettes. Instead, I agreed that I wanted it, but I chose to control my desire (欲望)." 

        "So be honest with yourself," said the doctor. "Don't pretend (假装) you don't like playing computer games or eating fast food. Instead, tell yourself that these things are all fine only if you can control your desire for them. Moderation is the key."
