Since the very first time a Girl Scout（女童子军） rang the doorbell at Ciana Sparks' house, she has known her destiny （命运）．

Destiny is about what you were meant to do．But sometimes you get tile opportunity to do  what you dreamed of．

"The Girl Scouts would come up to our door to sell cookies．I always wanted to be one of them," Sparks said． That was ten years ago．Since then, American Girl Scout Sparks, now 16, has been living her dream of selling cookies．She has sold a lot of them．

 "I sold 1,209 boxes．The year before that, I sold 800 boxes," Sparks said． She was one of 23 girls who sold more than 1,000 boxes．She has a simple way of selling the cookies．

 "I usually start around my neighborhood．I call some of my relatives who live Out of town．I go to my mom's work．Then I do the booth sales．"

 Sparks says a personal touch helps．She doesn't just send the order sheet（订货单）．She goes there and does the selling in person．And she always wears her Girl Scout uniform, or a cookie costume．

 "You have to remind people that you can only buy them once a year, and you want to buy as many as you can-or else you'll run out," Sparks said．

A long walk in the desert or the mountains can be exciting. And it’s a great way to keep fit. If you carry a tent and some food, you can camp overnight. But wild places can be dangerous. Here’s how you can enjoy walking and camping safely.
Before your trip
☆ Tell someone where you are going and when you expect to return. If you don’t return on time, the people at home will know that you are lost or in trouble. They will know where to look for you.
☆ Make sure you’ve got a good map of the area that you’re going to.
☆ Make sure you’ve packed the right equipment for your activities. The desert is often hot, but nights can be very cold, and sometimes there are big rainstorms. In the mountains, the weather can change suddenly. A sunny day can turn cold and cloudy quickly.
The tools for survival(生存)
Sunglasses, sun hat, sun cream, windproof jacket, good walking shoes or boots, food, water, maps, compass, first-aid kit, matches, rope, knife, ground sheet,
the pack to carry your equipment.
What to do if you get lost
☆ If you’re in a car and it has broken down, stay with your car.
☆ If you are not traveling by car, make yourself easy to see. A signal fire can be seen at night. During the day, smoke may be used to show where you are. A brightly-colored blanket(毯子) may help rescuers to find you.
☆ Stay where you are.
☆ If you walk for any reason, avoid walking during the hottest part of the day. Morning and evening walking is better for saving your energy water.
☆ Keep yourself away from the rain, wind and sun, but remember: try to make yourself be in sight.
