The award was a five-day canoe and camping adventure with up to three friends. No parents or guides would be there. This award was supposed to encourage kids to be less dependent ontechnology.
Ruelle had been to the area before, but she had always gone with her parents. Sharing the experience with friends would be very different. She invited three friends: Anna Wander, Madeline Wilson, and Julianna Torelli.
They came up with a daily plan. “We would wake up early every day. We were done paddling （划桨）by noon. We ate lunch at the campsite. Then it was time for hammocks（吊床）, reading, writing, making friendship bracelets（手链）, talking and napping,” Ruelle said.
“I’m a lot less worried about things,” Wander said when asked how she felt without her cellphone. Her favorite thing to do was lying in her hammock and looking at the lake. Torelli enjoyed cooking. She made blueberry pancakes and sandwiches.

Every year, when fall ends and winter comes, almost every woman may have a question,
“Why don’t I have a proper coat, a pretty sweater, a nice scarf…?” In order to welcome the new season, women buy more new clothes. Now, another question is coming: How do I deal with the
old clothes? Here is some advice.
31 If your old clothes are still in good condition and suit your friends’ style of dressing, please give them to your friends. They will be pleased and appreciate（感激）it.
32 There are many people who need help in poor areas. So you can send your old clothes to such kind of groups, even if they are not new, or clean. Just be sure these clothes can be used after washing.
33 You must need a duster to do some cleaning at home. Why not make one from old cotton T-shirts or cut them up and use them for rags to clean your home.
34 Take a pair of scissors, prepare some colorful old clothes and make some toys like soft dolls and Teddy Bears with your kids at weekends.
35 Don’t throw used clothes away. You can send them to Goodwill of Southern California. Sales of used clothes will support Goodwill’s educational program and job training to help get proper jobs.
