Travel is one of the most exciting experiences a human being can have. Imagine how amazed Italian traveler Marco Polo must have felt when he found himself on Chinese soil, seeing a way of life quite different from anything he'd seen before.
And how great must it 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 to them. They perhaps know what to expect before they travel. That's why the best travel is when it's for the first time. Imagine a person who has always wanted to travel to the United States. Of course, they've probably seen the Statue of Liberty a thousand times on TV, and the White House, and all the other famous sights. But none of that would compare to the thrill of looking out of the cabin window as the plane lands, watching the cities 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 way. The British politician Benjamin Disraeli summed this up well when he said, “Travel teaches toleration.”
1.The writer 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
2.The underlined word in paragraph 4 probably means ________.
A.learning B.knowledge
C.fun D.risk
3.According to the last two paragraphs, the writer 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 being in classrooms
B
Train travel is becoming more popular. Amtrak, the U.S. national passenger rail company, reports that ridership (公共交通乘客人数) continues to grow each year. The passenger kilometres and numbers of passenger journeys are also increasing. There's every reason to believe train travel will continue to attract more passengers as fuel prices climb,
As you plan your vacation, you'll need to consider the advantages and disadvantages of train travel. Here are some things that you need to keep in mind.
Train travel is fast and direct between major cities, especially in countries with high speed trains. It's relatively easy to book a train trip. In many countries, you can book your tickets online or go to a train station to buy them. For single or couple travelers, traveling by train can be much less expensive than renting a car, especially when you consider the cost of fuel and tolls (通行费).
However, train schedules may not match your preferred travel times and days, so you might have to change your trip. This is especially true for long distance train travel in the US. You may have to get off the train at midnight in a small station in an empty town in order to make a train connection.
You need to bring your own food and drink into the train as the food and drink served on trains can be expensive. Conditions on the train may be crowded, dirty and uncomfortable, especially at busy travel times or in developing countries.
In the end, you'll need to do some research on train ticket prices, check schedules against your own plan and weigh the advantages and disadvantages of train travel against your personal preferences.
