1． Going on a road trip？The Statue of Liberty，Golden Gate Bridge and the Hearst Castle are common great tourist sites.But if you prefer offbeat places，check out the following roadside attractions.
World's Largest Ball of Paint
Alexandria，Ind.
In 1977，Michael Carmichael set out to create the biggest ball of paint anywhere.Starting with a baseball as the centre，he painted coat after coat of paint day after day，year after year.The ball weighs more than 1 ，300 pounds，with more than 20，000 coats of paint，which is recognised by Guinness World Records.Visitors can paint the ball themselves and become part of history.
The Museum of Dirt
Boston，Mass.
The museum is the idea of Glenn Johnson.In the glass bottles are such treasures as dirt from the Great Wall of China，as well as sand from a desert in Saudi Arabia and Omaha Beach in France.Best of all，the cost of seeing this museum is dirt cheap：It's free.
Mount Horeb Mustard Museum
Mount Horeb，Wis.
It's heaven for hot dog lovers!This museum says that it has to have the world's largest collection of prepared mustard （芥末）.It's more than 4，100 bottles of spices （香料） come from 60 nations，including Turkey and China.Visitors learn the history of mustard，from how it's made to how it's advertised and sold.The museum's creator，Barry Levenson，loves mustard so much that he even puts it on ice cream!
Paper House
Rock port，Mass，
Elis Stenman was much ahead of his time in 1922，when he started to build a two-room house almost completely out of newspaper.At the time，people didn't give much - if any - thought to recycling （回收利用） paper.In fact， "recycling" wasn't even a word jye.ain.The house is framed （以......做框架） with wood，but the walls are made of newspaper only.In all，he used about 100，000 newspapers.

2．Is looking fashionable more important than being comfortable？Many people seem to think so，judging （判断） by the things they wear.But fashion is not everything.It is more important to be a healthy and good person.
People go to great lengths to be fashionable.Some people think they have to have a certain body type，so they go on extreme，unhealthy diets in order to change their bodies.In addition，many women wear uncomfortable fashions，such as high-heeled shoes that cause pain to their feet，and tight body shapers that limit blood flow.Men and women alike spend time and money on products that change their natural hair color or hairstyle.Some people even spend several hours a day in front of a mirror.Is fashion so important that people spend so much time and effort changing what they look like？
If the purpose of fashion is to make a person feel good，it does not make sense that he or she would go through so much discomfort to be fashionable.Fashion should not come first.People should put their health and positive image in the first place.What people wear does not say anything about their personalities.Instead of spending hours choosing a dress，perhaps you should call your friends and do something together，such as playing soccer or badminton.Instead of going on strict diets and forcing yourself to stay hungry，why not eat some healthy foods and then exercise？By doing these things，you can keep a healthy lifestyle and truly grow as a person.

3． Not even a flooded river could stand between Mary Breckinridge and the hospital her patients needed.A heavy rain ruined the banks beside Mary Breckinridge's Wendover，Kentucky，clinic （诊所）.She had to find a way to get her five patients to the hospital in Lexington.
With a neighbour's help，Mary and the nurses built a boat.They named it Ambulance，and on the morning of 30 December 1926，Mary，another nurse，and the patients set off down the river.After sixteen wild miles on the dangerous river，they arrived at the train station in Krypton.As she watched the train pull away with her patients safely on board，Mary smiled and waved.

The Frontier Nursing Service grew.Today their nursing service reaches far beyond the Kentucky mountains.Medical professionals from all over the world come to Wendover to study rural （ 乡村的 ） health care in action.When these men and women go back to their own countries，they are prepared to help people in need.

Protect traditional Chinese culture plays a very important role in the diversity and inheritance of Chinese culture.

As far as I was concerned， some measures should be taken to effective protect traditional Chinese culture. To start with， we must arouse people's aware of cultural protection， for the more importance we attach， the less support we can get from the public.
