Even on a long trip, you don't need a lot of heavy suitcases. You only need two bags-a carry-on bag and a check-in bag. Here is some advice for packing them.

Carry-on bag

• Your carry-on bag should be small and light.

• The most important things for your trip (passport, boarding pass, airline tickets, money, credit cards, cell phone, keys, etc.) should go in your carry-on bag.

• You should pack valuable things, such as a laptop or jewelry, in your carry-on bag.

You should bring a change of clothes in case your luggage is delayed.

• You should also take any medicine you need in your carry-on bag.

• Bring snacks to eat on the plane. Cookies, nuts. and dried fruit are good. Don't bring chocolate-it's very messy. For long trips, bring a sandwich.

And don't bring water--you can't take it through security. You should buy some at the airport before you board the plane.

• Remember to bring a good book or your tablet.

Check-in bag

• Your check-in bag should be strong.

• Your clothes, shoes, and other everyday things should go in your check-in bag.

• Make a list to help you remember everything.

• Pack your bag early-don't pack on the same day as your trip!

• Think about the weather. Do you need a coat and gloves, or T-shirts and shorts? Choose the right clothes! You should pack your clothes inside plastic bags.

• Put your name and your hotel's address and telephone number on your bag. You should put this information inside the bag, too.

1. You need three bags to go on a trip.
2. Your carry-on bag should be big and strong.
3. Your carry-on bag is for things you need on the airplane.
4. Your check-in bag is for clothes and things you use on your vacation.
5. You should put your home address on your check-in bag.
6. You should pack your laptop in your check-in bag.

What benefit can the canal bring to the city?

Which of the following is false about the residents?

People living there used to believe that ______________.

Read the passage. Circle the best answer A, B, C, or D to each of the questions.

My city has been changing since the municipal authority had a plan to renovate the canal systems. The project cost a huge amount of money which was from the support of the world bank and the city’s budget. Before the renovation, the canal was the dirtiest place full of rubbish along its sides. Many ramshackle shacks were built to be shelters of the impoverished working families migrating to this city to earn their living. Household wastes were directly dumped into the canal, resulting in the very contaminated environment. It was said that the very unpleasant smell releasing from the canal was unable to be eliminated, and the living condition there would not be better. However, thanks to the advanced technology and methods as well as the city authority’s effort, everything has been changing. There is no longer the disgusting smell or shabby houses along both sides of the canal. Instead, the road running parallel to the canal is now full of shade of greenery and the water now is so clean that it is a friendly habitat for a variety of fish. The residents now can walk or do morning exercise on the sidewalks along the banks to enjoy the fresh atmosphere. Former inhabitants are also relocated in new apartments with much better living conditions than before. The canal creates not only a beautiful urban landscape, but also brings a lot of economic benefits to local dwellers. Because of its reformation, the city is changing fast too.

The main topic of the passage is about ______________.
