With so many incredible opportunities across the globe, there’s never been a better time to become an
English teacher overseas.
Who can teach English abroad?
Teaching English as a Foreign Language (TEFL) offers prospective university students, university graduates
and young people, in general, a perfect opportunity. TEFL-certified teachers see new corners of the world and gain
priceless, international work experience.
Qualifications and certificates to teach English abroad
Generally, you don’t need to have a bachelor’s degree or, indeed, any university degree to get started. All you
need is the finances to start a course and the ability to speak English. What you will need is TEFL certification.
Employers want to know you have the skills to successfully navigate (驾驭) a course.
The start-up costs of teaching English abroad
For a start, you need to invest in a suitable TEFL course. If you’re heading to a country that requires a visa,
there will be fees involved. It’s also worth remembering that you’ll also need money to cover costs after you arrive
until your first month’s pay arrives in your account. This could include rent, groceries, leisure activities and more.

From the last of the Seven Wonders of the World left standing to a presidential gaffe (失态) that inspired a

The New Gourna
The New Gourna is an uncompleted housing project in Luxor from the 1940s that was created to move away
the villagers of Old Gourna, who economically sustained their community by stealing local Pharoanic tombs —
much to the displeasure of the Egyptian Department of Antiquities, who wanted to move the 7,000 locals away

brief reading of the introduction, and choose the one to your taste.
The Life Impossible By Matt Haig
Filled with wonder and wild adventure, this book is a story of hope and the life-changing power of a newbeginning. When retired math teacher Grace Winters is left a run-down house on an island by a long-lost friend,

Best books chosen by Pagan Kennedy
Pagan Kennedy is an all-round individual widely known for her work as an author, journalist, and speaker.
Below are the books she recommends offering hope and companionship in dark times.
Tunnel 29 by Helena Merriman (2021). In 1961, a wall went up around East Berlin in the middle of the
night, preventing almost everyone from fleeing. That step into fascism (法西斯主义) inspired a group of students
to engineer an escape route, digging a tunnel that snaked from a basement in East Berlin to freedom. Merriman hasreconstructed a lost history that unfolds like a heist movie (盗匪电影).
Giovanni’s Room by James Baldwin (1956). Baldwin tends to be remembered as an essayist and author of
The Fire Next Time. But if you’re exploring his work, consider starting with this novel, a page-turner about people
trying to live their truth in the 1950s.
Empire of Pain by Patrick Radden Keefe (2021). I was sucked into this book because I couldn’t look away
from its characters’ evil. In a lightning war of brilliant reporting, Keefe reveals how the most sinful members of the
Sackler family built a Big Pharma empire and pushed opiates (鸦片) into doctors’ offices and eventually the streets.
The Handmaid’s Tale by Margaret Atwood (1985). Years ago, Atwood asked herself a question, “If you
wanted to seize power in the United States and set up a dictatorship, how would you go about it?” The 2017 TV
adaptation of this novel was excellent, but you should really hold the story in your hand and read it. After all, it
portrays a terrible society in which women have lost the right to even touch a book.
1．What is special about Tunnel 29 according to the text?
A．It was created by James Baldwin. B．It is based on a true-life story of escape.
C．It was written to oppose fascism directly.D．It has been adapted into a popular movie.
2．What attracted Pagan Kennedy to Empire of Pain?
A．The evil figures within the narrative.
B．The author’s brilliant writing style.
C．The book’s focus on scientific innovation.
D．The exposure of the Sackler family’s business model,
3．Why does Pagan Kennedy suggest reading The Handmaid’s Tale?
A．Because its TV adaptation is not as good as the book.
B．Because it describes a unique power-seizing process in the US.
C．Because it helps people understand the current social situation better.
D．Because it shows a terrifying society where women’s rights are severely restricted.

Correct First Aid Misbeliefs
As for parenting, first aid knowledge is important. Yet there exist several commonly held beliefs that,
unfortunately, are incorrect. These mistaken beliefs can stop us effectively responding to emergencies involving our
children. Here are the current recommendations from the Red Cross for each misunderstanding.
NosebleedsIncorrect: Put cotton wool balls into the nose to stop the
bleeding. Why: In reality, putting them into your kids’ nose can prevent
blood clotting (凝结) and likely make the bleeding worse.
Correct:
●Sit forward and squeeze the nostrils below the bridge to close the nose for
10-15 minutes. Breathe through the mouth during this time.
●After the bleeding stops, don’t blow, rub or pick the nose.BurnsIncorrect: Immediately apply ice or butter for heat burns to relieve
the pain. Why: Ice applied directly to burned skin can increase skin
damage. It slows healing and makes it harder for a doctor to treat the
burned area.
Correct:
●Cool the burned area with cool water for 10 minutes.
●Cover the burn loosely with a clean bandage. If the burn gets worse or
infected, see a doctor.
FeverIncorrect: Use rubbing alcohol to lower a fever. Why: Wiping
rubbing alcohol on the skin doesn’t cool the body or reduce fever. And it
can be absorbed through skin, especially for your kids and babies, causing
alcohol poisoning.
Correct:
●Give fever-reducing medicine.
●Call a doctor if you’re unsure or the fever doesn’t go away.
1．What is the correct practice for a nose bleeding according to the text?
A．Blocking the nose with cotton.
B．Holding the nose closed for a moment.
C．Blowing the nose to clear blood.
D．Raising arms to a certain height.
2．What is the mistaken belief about the treatment of burns?
A．Butter can worsen the burned area.
B．Cool water cannot touch the burns.
C．Ice can relieve the pain immediately.
D．The burned area can’t be covered by a bandage.
3．Which of the following is the side effect of using the alcohol to lower a fever?
A．Alcohol poisoning. B．Skin damage.
C．Higher temperature. D．Pain and discomfort.

Almost every day, we learn of disasters of one form or another through the media. These include not just
major disasters that affect large areas for a long time. A severe storm, an electric power breakdown, or a house fire
can bring a personal disaster to an individual. This brochure aims to help you develop your personal preparedness
plan.
Stockpiling food and drink●Drinking is more important than eating. Keep about 14 liters of liquid per person in stock for each week.
●No experiments. Your supplies should mainly consist of food and drink that you normally have.
●Ensure that your supplies can be stored for long periods of time without refrigeration and that most of them
can be eaten cold.
Electric power breakdown
●Keep a supply of torches and candles, as well as spare batteries, matches or lighters in the house.
Remember that batteries do not last indefinitely. Regularly use the batteries up and replace them.
●You can prepare smaller meals on a camping stove, one that can be operated through the use of charcoal or
gas.
Emergency pack
●The aim of a disaster supplies kit should be to help you to cope with the possibility of having to exist for a
few days outside of your house. Don’t take more for each family member than could be conveniently contained
within the confines of a rucksack. A rucksack is more practical than a suitcase, as it allows you to have both hands
free.
●The emergency rucksack should contain these items
—First aid materials, personal medication
—Food for two days in dust-proof packaging
—Water bottle, cutlery and crockery
—Sleeping bag or blanket
—Hygiene products for a couple of days
●The correct clothing
—Waterproof clothing and shoes
—Masks or damp cloths that you can hold in front of your mouth in the event of danger from chemical
substances.
Keep up-to-date in an emergency
Floods or heavy snowfalls may lead to parts of the population getting cut off from the outside world.
Information and warnings are important for survival. Those who are trapped can often only be reached by radio,
television or the Internet. However, television and the Internet only work when there is electric power, which could
fail. This leaves just the radio as the main warning device. Therefore, always keep a battery-powered radio or a
wind-up (用手柄操作的) radio in the house.
About usThe Federal Office of Civil Protection and Disaster Assistance (BBK) was established in 2004 as a central
organizational unit for civil security in Germany. The BBK is your reliable partner for emergency preparedness and
self-help. You can find further information on our website www.bbk.bund.de.

A．It is to tell people something about disasters.
B．It is to ask people to store food and drink in daily life.
C．It is to provide some suggestions on how to survive in a disaster.
D．It is to advertise the Federal Office of Civil Protection and Disaster Assistance.
2．Why is it advised to use a rucksack rather than a suitcase for an emergency pack?
A．A rucksack frees you from both hands. B．A rucksack is more durable than a suitcase.
C．A rucksack has more functions than a suitcase.D．A rucksack can contain more stuff than a suitcase.
3．What is the main device to get warnings in a disaster?

In history, economists have contributed greatly to the field of economics and changed society.
Adam Smith (1723 — 1790)
Adam Smith is best known for An Inquiry into the Nature and Causes of the Wealth of Nations, one of the
earliest and the most famous works on industry and commerce. Smith’s arguments against mercantilism (重商主义)
and in favor of free trade were a challenge to much of the protectionism that was influential in the mid-18th
century. Today, he’s often called “the father of modern economics”. In a globalized world, imagine how much
slower life would be, had free, open trade not been encouraged.
David Ricardo(1772 — 1823)
Ricardo joined his father to work on the London Stock Exchange at the age of 14 and quickly became
successful. After reading Adam Smith’s The Wealth of Nations, he took an interest in economics. Ricardo held the
belief that nations should specialize for the greater good. He carried forward the argument against protectionism,
and showed that landlords seizing wealth at the expense of laborers was not beneficial for society.
Alfred Marshall (1842 — 1924)
Marshall is credited with attempting to apply mathematics to economics to turn economics into more of a
science than a philosophy. Despite his emphasis on math, Marshall spared no effort to make his work accessible to
regular people; his Economics of Industry became widely used in England as a curriculum. He also spent almost
10 years working on the more scientific Principles of Economics, which proved to be his most important work.
John Maynard Keynes(1883 — 1946)
The six-foot-six Brit accepted a lectureship at Cambridge that was personally funded by Alfred Marshall,
whose supply and demand curves were the basis for much of Keynes’ work. He is remembered for standing up for
the government monetary policy to reduce the negative effects of economic depressions and booms. His influentialwork, The General Theory of Employment, Interest and money, advocated government intervention to promote
consumption and investing. It particularly pushed to relieve the global Great Depression that was spreading at the
time.

Just some of the women who made this mag. . .
Lorraine McCall has spent most of her adult life working in the outdoors industry. Her main love is
journeying; past expeditions have included a continuous round of the Munros in 2005 and a 2000-mile tour of the
Corbetts in 2014. Most recently, she became the first person to climb all the Grahams in a single journey (she writes
about that record-breaking feat on page 42). Lorraine is based in the Scottish Highlands.
Lydia Paleschi is a freelance writer and author who finds fulfilment through exploring and writing about
travel and outdoor adventure. She enjoys encouraging others to gain the mental and physical health benefits of

both at home and afar. Read about her off-the-beaten-path adventures on Nepal’s Helambu Trek on page 52.
Elise Wortley is an adventurer and writer on a mission to redefine what it means to be an explorer. Her
ongoing project — Woman with Altitude — highlights overlooked women adventurers from history, who achieved

attempt to summit Mont Blanc, Western Europe’s highest summit.
Sarah Jane Douglas (an award-winning author, Corbetteer and proud Blue Peter badge holder) has alwaysbeen drawn to Scotland’s high places. When cancer struck with the same diagnosis that took her mother, she just
