According to one story the idea for making the first teddy bear came from a newspaper cartoon drawn in 1904. This cartoon showed President Teddy Roosevelt on a hunting trip

refusing to shoot (射杀）a young bear. The young bear became a symbol for Teddy Roosevelt.

Morris Michtom owned a small candy and toy store in New York City. He and his wife made

many of the toys they sold. When he saw the cartoon，he had a wonderful idea. He decided to

make a toy bear with eyes and legs and arms that moved. The bear was put in the store window next to a copy of the cartoon. Mr . Michtom called it “Teddy’s Bear”.

Many of these bears were sold. The bears became so popular that Mr . Michtom thought he might need President Roosevelt' permission to use his name. He wrote to the president and sent him a “Teddy Bear”. The president answered，saying that Mr. Michtom could use his name.

Mr . Michtom borrowed money so that he could make thousands of toy bears. His company became the Ideal Toy Corporation. Today this is one of the biggest toy companies in the United States.

Tony Wheeler was born to travel. His father worked for an airline. For the first 16 years of his life，Wheeler and his family lived in many different countries.

In the early 1970s，Wheeler met a young woman named Maureen. They soon married. Before getting jobs，Tony and Maureen wanted to travel. They took a year-long trip from London，through Asia，to Australia. On the trip，they visited places like India，Iran，and Afghanistan.

When Tony and Maureen arrived in Australia，people asked many questions about their trip.

To answer these questions，Wheeler wrote a guidebook called Across Asia on the Cheap . The book told people about different countries' weather，customs(风俗），and places to see. But unlike travel guides in the 1970s，Wheeler’s book also talked about places most tourists did not go. He also wrote about unusual things to see and do. The book was very popular．

Wheeler and Maureen started a company called Lonely Planet. They continued travelling. They wrote guidebooks for each place they visited. Today，400 people work for Lonely Planet.

The company has over 650 guidebooks. Wheeler still writes about travel “hot spots” (for example，

Cambodia in Asia and Croatia in Europe). For more information，read the books!

Computers are good tools(工具）.The Internet is also good. But some people spend too much

time online. They can’t stop. Doctors say this is a new sickness. They call this sickness Internet Addiction Disorder (互联网成瘾症）（IAD).

People with IAD are online a lot. They spend hours chatting to their friends or playing online games. Many people with IAD spend more time on the Internet than with family or friends. Some people with IAD even quit(辞掉)their jobs!

Do you have IAD? Think about these questions：How many hours a day are you online? Is it a lot or a little? When you are not online，are you thinking about playing a computer game or checking your messages? When you are online，do you forget the time? Do you get angry when you can’t play a game?

If you have IAD，what can you do? Dr. Ivan Goldberg and Dr. Kimberly S.Young have some ideas. First，ask yourself “Why am I online a lot?” Then try to take a break. For example，use the

computer or play games twice a week，not every day. In this way，you can have a good social life with other friends.

33.The passage is mainly about________

If you plan to take your pet on a trip，prepare ahead of time. At least two weeks before you leave，take your pet to a vet. See if he or she is tit for travel and ask if he or she should have any medicine before leaving. The vet may suggest certain pills for sickness or for calming the pet.

Some states or foreign countries have health laws that say animals must have certain injections(注射)before they can be allowed to enter. Your vet may have this information. You can also get help on the United States and Canadian laws from a book published by the Department of

Agriculture which some libraries have. For information on foreign countries，check with their

consulates (领事馆).Y o u can also ask the airlines on which you are travelling.

Find out if the places where you plan to stay allow pets because many do not.

If you are g oing by plane or train，ask if pets are allowed. If they are，ask where they will be kept and who will care for them. The big bus lines in this country do not allow pets.

Choose your pet’s box carefully. Plastic boxes are better than cardboard or wooden ones because they can' be chewed(嚼碎).

If going by plane or train during warm weather，try to go in the cooler early morning or evening hours. Also try to avoid (避免)very cold winter weather because pets often suffer from

cold. Even in your own car，be careful. Do not leave the animal inside with the windows closed

because the car may become too hot or too cold.
