There are also, of course, places called “rooming houses”， where they provide lodges (客房)．You will see such signs as Tourists or Rooms Rent, and you could try one of these.A word of warning—looking for a room in New York during the tourist season is like looking for gold on the moon!

want to know your website. 11 Your website is an electronic meeting place for your family, friends and potentially, millions of people around the world. Best of all, you may not have to spend a cent. The Web is filled with all kinds of free services and all it takes is some time and creativity.

magazine layout(版面设计).At the top of the page is a banner(横幅)GRAPHIC. Next comes a greeting and short description of the site. Pictures ,text, and links to other websites follow.
13 Think about whom the site is for and what you want to say. Next, gather up the material that you want to put on the site.

Less is better. Most people don't like to read a lot of long texts online. 15 Smaller is better. Since it can take a long time to download large files, keep
