A
For teenagers, it's great fun to explore new places and it feels like an adventure, even when you know you're not the first to have been there.But to make sure not to get lost or waste time going round in circles, the following tips may be helpful.
◆Do the map reading if you're being driven somewhere.It'll be easier if you keep the map following the direction you are traveling in.Keep looking ahead so that you can give the driver lots of warning before having to make a turn, or you'll have to move to the back seat.
◆ Get a group of friends together and go exploring.You'll need a good map, a compass, a raincoat, a cell phone to call for help in case you get lost, and a bit of spare cash for emergencies.Tell someone where you're going before you set out and let them know what time you expect to be back.The purpose of the activity is in not getting lost, not in seeing how fast you can go, so always stick together, waiting for slower friends to catch up.
◆See if your school or a club organizes orienteering (定向越野比赛) activities, in which you need a map and a compass to find your way.This can be done as a sport, with teams trying to find the way from A to B (and B to C, etc.) in the fastest time, or simply as a spare time activity.It enables you to be familiar with the use of maps and compass and gain some special skills.In some way, it's not only good fun, but also a great way to keep fit.

A.look ahead to see where there is a gas station

B.What to bring for exploration.
C.How to prevent people getting lost in exploration.

Travel is one of the most exciting experiences a human being can have.Imagine how the Italian traveler Marco Polo must have felt when he found himself on Chinese soil,seeing a way of life quite different from what he'd seen before.And how marvelous (了不起的) it must have been to listen to Zhang Qian when he returned to China from his journey through Central Asia and West Asia!His brain must have been packed with everything he'd seen and heard,leading to the founding of the Silk Road.
Some people have traveled all over the world,and travel is a way of life for them.They perhaps know what to expect before they travel.That's why the best travel is the first one.Imagine a person who has always wanted to travel to the United States.Of course,he has probably seen the Statue of Liberty a thousand times on TV,and the White House,and all the other famous sights.But nothing would compare to the thrill of looking out of the cabin window (舷窗) as the plane lands,watching the buildings and streets of the real America come into view.
Although travel is often just for recreation,it's also educational.We may not know that we are getting an education,but we still are.
We're learning every day:new words in a new language,new people,and new ways of life.But this learning takes place in the school of the world,not the classroom.One of the lessons we learn is undoubtedly a moral one.As we get to know foreign places,we come to understand that there are many different ways to live,and that the way we live isn't necessarily the best.The British politician Benjamin Disraeli summed this up well when he said,“Travel teaches toleration.”
4.The author uses Marco Polo and Zhang Qian as examples to .
A.explain how the Silk Road was founded
B.present travel as an amazing experience
C.show how the way people travel has changed
D.describe important cultural exchanges in history
5.By saying “the best travel is the first one”,the author means that .
A.one's first trip is usually the most challenging
B.no other trip is better than one's first trip
C.there is always much to learn on one's first trip
D.people usually make better preparations for their first trip
6.The underlined word “recreation” in paragraph 3 probably means .
A.learning B.knowledge
C.fun D.risk
7.According to the last two paragraphs,the author believes that .
A.traveling should be included in formal education
B.traveling improves people's confidence in their lifestyle
C.a foreign journey may raise people's cultural understanding
D.there is more to learn from adventures than classes

When I was in medical college,I went camping with some of my friends.The season was summer; therefore,we chose to go to the seaside.After arriving there,we rented a room and left our luggage there.We finished lunch and then decided to rent a boat because the sea and the weather were beautiful.
We started to row,but about one mile out,the weather suddenly changed.Although the weather was not good,we didn't want to give up,but finally my friends and I agreed that we should go back.We tried to change the boat's direction,but as soon as we changed it,the oarlock (桨架) broke.Therefore,we were unable to turn back.We had to wait for help because we couldn't do anything.
After seeing the change of weather,we shouldn't have continued to row,but it was too late.We regretted it.The sea changed a lot,the waves got very high,and the boat began to shake like a cradle.One of my friends started to cry; another started to vomit.Three hours passed,and nobody came to help us.We were just praying.
Fortunately,after five long hours of waiting,two big boats came to rescue us and we escaped.If they hadn't come to get us,we would have crossed the border between Turkey and Greece because the border was very close.
This story is the most exciting story of my life because we could have died,but luck was with us and we escaped.
