Text 1 When Katherine Chon was in fifth grade．she drew a“dream tree”erepresenting the path she hoped her life would take．One branch led to Harvard Medical School，Which is exactly what her mother had hoped for when the Chons moved to the U．S．from South Korea to give their three children opportunities． Always a diligent student，Katherine started to learn medicine at Brown．But then she added a new limb to her dream tree—one mat her mother still doesn’t understand．Shocked by the misfortune of some South Korean women，Katherine joined forces with another Brown student to form. the Polaris Project，now one of the largest anti-human-trafficking organizations in the country，“It was really hard for my parents，”says Katherine．“They had so many life stresses so their children could、get a great education and have a comfortable life．” The dreams of parents and children often differ，but the conflict can be especially painful in first-generation immigrant families where the parents have made enormous sacrifices．Lisa Park，an assistant professor at the University of California，San Diego，says that：the focus of every family that moves to the United States to provide opportunities for their children is almost always on the future，with little mention of the circumstances that compelled them to move．And even though the parents are the ones working 12-hour days，the children ale also under intense pressure to perform. in ways that will justify the parents’ sacrifice． The contrast between parents’ dreams and children’s realities can be particularly sharp for daughters who have grown up with almost infinite opportunities．Their mothers often came from places where opportunities for women were limited，which makes the daughters’ choices even harder to understand．Mary Lugemwa’s parents encouraged her to study math or science at Harvard． She complied at first，majoring in computer science．But she is currently working as a film producer for a nonprofit organization called Meaningful Media．“I sometimes feel guilty，”she says， “having chosen,to be an artist，because I know that if I had chosen a scientific background，I could help my parents a lot more．” 回答下列各题： When Katherine Chon was a fifth—grader，________．

The Organized Traveller's Checklist

Here's a step-by-step guide to accomplishing the essentials in the weeks, days, and hours before you leave on vacation.

Eight Weeks Ahead

If you're going out of the country and don't have all of the documents you need--whether passports or original birth certificates--now is the time to get them. If it looks like the documents may not arrive until the last minute--or even late--show your airline tickets to personnel at the government agencies from which you're requesting documents. Ask them to put a rush on your application.

If you're traveling abroad, contact a travel health specialist (your health-care provider may have a travel department, or your doctor may be able to recommend a specialist), or contact your local health department to ask about immunizations and preventive medicines.

When it comes to what to take with you--be it luggage, sports equipment, camping gear, or clothing--now's the time to assess your needs. You can save shopping time and hassle by buying from catalogs: order now so purchases will arrive before your departure date.

Six Weeks Ahead

If you don't belong to an auto club and are about to use your car on a trip, join a club now so you can take advantage of member benefits. These usually include trip-planning services, maps, guidebooks, discounts at accommodations and attractions, and roadside emergency help.

Join an airline's frequent-flier program too--it's free. Make sure the names on your tickets and on membership forms are identical, or you won't get mileage (英里里程)credit for your flights. Give frequent-flier numbers to your travel agent.

Four Weeks Ahead

Airline seats are generally assigned and confirmed 30 days prior to departure, so call now to get your desired seat assignments and to make certain your family is seated together. Another call to make is to a kennel (养狗场) or other facility if you plan to board a pet during vacation.

Buy any home security and automation (自动操作)devices you'll need. These might include timers for lights and TVs, an alarm system, automatic plant-watering systems, and pet feeders. Figure out how they work now so you won't be scrambling to set them on the day of departure.

If anyone in your family wears glasses or contacts, order a spare pair today so they'll be ready by the time you go. At the very least, get an up-to-date prescription so you can take it to a quick-service optical store if glasses are lost or broken. If you need prescriptions or checkups, make those appointments now.

Two Weeks Ahead

Write down your doctors' and. pharmacist's phone numbers in case you need information on the road. If you'll be driving your own car, have a reliable mechanic check it from top to bottom.

Plan the route now: Do it yourself with good maps and trip-planning software, or use your automobile club's trip-planning service. Clubs like the American and Canadian Automobile Associations (AAA and CAA) require two weeks' notice to provide this service to members.

You will want to carry a moderate amount of cash, as well as traveler's checks and credit or debit cards. Automated teller machines (ATMs) are handy because you don't have to take as much cash with you, but check with your bank to see if there will be ATMs where you're going. Buy the traveler's checks now, and be sure to keep the records detailing check numbers separate from the checks themselves.

Check camera equipment. Buy fresh batteries and more film than you think you'll need. Resort-area stores charge premium prices for cameras and film.

One Week Ahead

No need to pack yet, but get everything ready. Gather toiletries, medicines, shoes, clothes, first-aid supplies, toys, and activities. Wash clothes and add to the pile. Make a separate pile for carry-on items.

A．A travel agency.

B．A travel health specialist.

C．Passports personnel.

D．Birth certificates personnel.
