"You do not need to be a rocket scientist. ” is often heard in theUSA. Workers in an office are afraid to try to use their new computer system. Their employer tells them not to be foolish. "You do not need to be a rocket scientist to learn this?" he says. Or high school students cannot seem to understand something their teacher is explaining. "Come on," he says,"you do not need to be a rocket scientist to understand this. ” Or a company that makes soap is trying to sell its product on television. "You do not need to be a rocket scien-tist to see that our soap cleans better," the company says. These words send a strong message. They say that you do not need to be extremely intelligent to understand something.
No one knows for sure how the expression began. "It grew," an official of the American space agency—-NASA says, "because rocket scientists probably are the most intelligent people around. ”Not everyone would agree. Some peo?ple might be considered more intelligent than rocket scientists. For example,a person who speaks and reads 15 languages or a doctor who operates on the brain.
The rocket scientist is a different kind of hero. He or she makes space travel possible. Rocket scientists however can have problems just like anyone else.
A Washington rocket scientist tells about a launch that was postponed many times. Finally everything seemed ripe. Mechanical failures had been re?paired ?the weather was good,and the scientists had planned that part of the rocket would fall into the ocean after the launch.

We live on a shrinking planet! There's no need for measurements. World populations continue to grow and put ever-increasing demands on natural re?sources. Every day cities are expanding their borders and infringing on sur?rounding farmlands and forests. Every day plants and animals are becoming extinct(灭绝的) as a result of the expansion of our modern society. The con?servation efforts of governments may be able to preserve many forests and public lands for future generations to enjoy but they can't stop the lines wait?ing to get into these places from getting unbearably long. Camping requires uncrowded open spaces in order to be appreciated. As a result,the opportuni?ties for memorable camping experiences are getting fewer.
What are the better reasons to go camping to enjoy the outdoors and the scenic wonders of nature while we still can? With popular outdoor destinations requiring reservations as much as a year in advance,the feeling of the outdoors is getting lost in the crowds.

There are many valid reasons for escaping the daily activities of ordinary life and camping helps that escape for many of us. We all need a return to na?ture now and then. We all can benefit with a break from our daily activities. The thought of sitting around a campfire under a clear sky,staring up at the stars,and listening to the sounds of the night can strengthen our bodies,calm our minds,and restore our spirits. Camping is renewing！
Search for your youth and go camping！ And,wherever you find peace,stop for a moment and reflect on how blessed you are to be able to sense this mar?velous planet we call Campground Earth.

At the beginning of the year,I had all these plans to travel to different states? such as Florida,Georgia and California. Going to South Africa was definitely not in my plans. However,the stars seemed to align (排成直线) to make this trip possible. I had a friend who was returning there. Before she went back, she told me a lot of amazing things about that country and then I decided that I had to go there.
However,since I hadn't planned to go to South Africa at frist, I didn't have money saved up ready to buy the ticket. You can imagine how much a round-trip ticket to South Africa costs. Luckily,while Iwas try?ing to figure out how I was going to pay for this plane ticket? I got an e-mail out of the blue from a gentleman from Denmark who was ready to give me money. It sounded hard to believe,but yes. This guy wanted to give me money to buy one of my domain names(域名) . The timing couldn't be more perfect. After a few e-mails back and forth, I received the money.
