• 1．Planning a visit to the UK？Here we help with ways to cut your costs.
     AVOID BIG EVENTS Big sporting events，concerts and exhibitions can increase the cost of accommodation and make it harder to find a room.A standard double room at the Thistle Brighton on the final Friday of the Brighton Comedy Festival（19 Oct.） cost ￡169.15 at Booking.jye.ai.A week later，the same room cost ￡118.15.
     If you can be flexible and want to know dates to avoid--- or you're looking for a big event to pass your time--- check out sites such as Whatsonwhen.jye.ai，which allow you to search for events in the UK by city，date and category.
     STAYAWAY FROM THE STATION If traveling to your destination by train，you may want to find a good base close to the station，but you could end up paying more for the sake of convenience at the start of your holiday.
     Don't be too choosy about the part of town you stay in.Booking two months in advance，the cheapest room at Travelodge's Central Euston hotel in London for Saturday 22 September was ￡95.95.A room just a tube journey away at its Covent Garden hotel was ￡75.75.And at Farringdon，a double room cost just ￡62.95.
     LOOK AFTER YOURSELF Really central hotels in cities such as London.Edinburgh and Cardiff can cost a fortune，especially at weekends and during big events.As a choice consider checking into a self-catering flat with its own kitchen，where you can cook.Often these flats are hidden away on the top floors of city centre buildings.A great example is the historic O'Neill Flat on Edinburgh's Royal Mile，available for ￡420 for five days in late September，with room for four adults.
     GET ON A BIKE London's "Boris bikes" have attracted the most attention，but other cities also have similar programs that let you rent a bicycle and explore at your own pace，saving you on public transport or car parking costs.Among the smaller cities with their own programs are Newcastle（casual members pay around ￡1.50 for two hours） and Cardiff（free for up to 30 minutes，or ￡5 per day）.

• 2．Several years ago，Jim Turner heard a program on the radio for the N.C.Children's Hospital and decided he could use his love of origami art to help the hospital raise money for much-needed programs.
     So at the age of 13，Turner began making origami greeting cards and selling them to help the hospital.His program，known as Heartbeats for Kids，has since raised more than ＄2，500 for the hospital. "The first cards I made had a heart in them and you could remove the heart from the card and make it beat，" Turner says，explaining how he came up with the name for the program.Now as a 17-year-old high school student，Turner has less time to devote to card-making，because origami costs a lot of labor and each card can take up to 30 minutes to design.But Turner still enjoys origami art and has created designs that have been chosen for exhibits that tour the country and world.
     Turner is an engineer and artist.His mother，Peggy Turner，says folding origami has helped her son develop his sense of space for 3-D objects.Turner also provides community（社區(qū)、團(tuán)體） service at school and at his church.He was named the Good Spirit of Community Awards for his community service activities，including the Heartbeats for Kids program.In the process of his volunteer efforts，Turner also managed to be one of the only 381 youths in the country to cam the top score of 2，400 on his SAT test.
     Making and selling the greeting cards has taught Turner about managing a small business，but most important thing Turner learns is that the cards benefit not only the hospital，but also the people who buy the cards or get the cards.Turner sees it as a way to bring people together.

  .
