     If you' re planning on going on a vacation, you need to make sure that you travel light as the price of your overweight baggage is sky rocketing．Below are a few tips that would help you pack light．

     Choose your suitcase wisely

     First and foremost you need to buy a suitcase in order to pack your stuff．But, when buying one you need to make sure that it' s light and strong．There are plenty of different brands to choose from, you need to choose wisely as some of them even though they may be extremely light would be really very expensive．

     Most hotels offer you the basic necessities that you' re going to need for a comfortable stay and therefore you wouldn' t have to cany soaps, toothpaste, toiletries and various other products．Therefore, ask the hotel what they would offer you before you pack as that would reduce a lot of space if not weight．

     Flying squirrels are a family of 44 species of squirrels．The term "flying" is somewhat of an incorrect name．

     Flying squirrels are not capable of powered flight like birds or bats; instead, they glide （=move smoothly and quietly） between trees．They are capable of obtaining lift within the course of these flights, with flights recorded to 90 meters （295 ft）．The direction and speed of the animal in midair is varied by changing the positions of its two arms and legs, largely controlled by small soft wrist bones． This changes the tightness of the paganism（翼膜）,a very thin furry parachute-like skin that stretches from wrist to ankle．It has a hairy tail that keeps its flight steady and unchanging．The tail acts as an assistant airfoil （螺旋桨），working as an air brake before landing on a tree trunk．

     Flying squirrels, are gliding mammals （哺乳动物）. A few mammals can glide through the trees, but they do not actually fly （like birds and bats）．They have a very soft and thin skin on either side of

their body．

     The Siberian Flying Squirrel ranges from the Baltic Sea in the west to the Pacific Ocean in the east．Before the 21st century, the evolutionary （进化） history of the flying squirrel was frequently argued about．This debate became clearer and clearer as a result of two recent scientific studies．These studies found support that flying squirrels originated 18-20 million years ago have a twin relationship with tree squirrels．

       A．By moving its tail．

     One day, a poor boy who was trying to pay his way through school by selling goods door to door found that he only had one dime （=10 cents） left．He was hungry, so he decided to beg for a meal at the next house．

     However, he lost his nerve when a lovely young woman opened the door．Instead of a meal he asked for a drink of water．She thought he looked hungry, so she brought him a large glass of milk．He asked, "How much do I owe you?"

     After a long struggle, the battle was won．Dr．Kelly requested the business office to pass the final bill to him for approval．He looked at it and wrote something on the side．The bill was sent to her room, She was afraid to open it because she was sure that it would take the rest of her life to pay it off．Finally she looked, and the note on the side of the bill caught her attention．
