Unit 3　Travel journal　　
语篇导读：年幼时的第一次火车之旅让“我”至今都记忆犹新。
My first train journey
Whenever we have to travel long distances within the country we can travel by train or by air. I still remember my first train journey when I was just about six years old.
My father had to attend① a conference in Madras. Since we had not then seen Madras and our winter vacations were falling during the dates of the conference, it was decided that we would all go with Father and make a trip to the South. I was small but the train journey is still very vivid② in my mind.
I think it was evening time when we boarded the train. Inside we had dinner and then my parents and my elder brother all slept. I could not sleep as I was just too excited. I had taken a window seat so that I could see the fun outside. However, after we had finished dinner, it was dark and nothing was visible (看得见的) from the window.
The next morning I woke up after a comfortable night's sleep. I was very excited to look outside. Oh, how beautiful it all was! When the train crossed over different landforms, the sounds it made changed — sometimes deep grunts, sometimes a smooth flow and at other times just a thud here and thud there. When the train crossed over bridges on large bodies of water, the sound was a kind of gurgling. The enjoyable scenes③ continued throughout the journey, and the music of changing land and water was so surprising.
These interesting changing scenes continued for almost thirty-six hours but, believe me, I enjoyed every minute of the journey. I cannot forget this first journey by train even after eight years now and I do wonder if I ever will.

JOURNEY DOWN THE MEKONG
PART 1　THE DREAM AND THE PLAN
My name is Wang Kun. Ever since① middle school, my sister Wang Wei and I have dreamed about② taking a great bike trip.【1】 Two years ago she bought an expensive mountain bike and then she persuaded③ me to buy one. Last year, she visited our cousins, Dao Wei and Yu Hang at their college in Kunming. They are Dai and grew up in western Yunnan Province near the Lancang River, the Chinese part of the river that is called the Mekong River in other countries【2】. Wang Wei soon got them interested in④ cycling⑤ too. After graduating⑥ from college, we finally⑦ got the chance to take a bike trip. I asked my sister, “Where are we going？” It was my sister who first had the idea to cycle along the entire Mekong River from where it begins to where it ends.【3】 Now she is planning our schedule⑧ for the trip.
【1】Ever since middle school在句中作时间状语，其中since为介词，所在句子用现在完成时。
【2】that引导的定语从句修饰先行词the river, that在从句中作主语。
【3】It was my sister who...是强调句，其中who可换为that。from... to...“从……到……”，from和to后均跟了where引导的宾语从句。
I am fond of⑨ my sister but she has one serious shortcoming⑩. She can be really stubborn?. Although she didn't know the best way of getting to places, she insisted? that she organize? the trip properly.【4】 Now I know that the proper way is always her way. I kept asking? her, “When are we leaving and when are we coming back？【5】” I asked her whether she had looked at a map yet.【6】 Of course she hadn't; my sister doesn't care about? details?. So I told her that the source? of the Mekong is in Qinghai Province. She gave me a determined? look — the kind that said she would not change her mind?.【7】 When I told her that our journey? would begin at an altitude of more than 5,000 metres【8】， she seemed to be excited about it. When I told her the air would be hard to breathe and it would be very cold【9】， she said it would be an interesting experience. I know my sister well. Once she has made up her mind【10】， nothing can change it. Finally, I had to give in.
【4】Although she didn't... to places为Although引导的让步状语从句；she insisted that... properly为主句，其中含有that引导的宾语从句，insist在句中表示“坚持，主张，坚决要求”，其后的宾语从句用了虚拟语气，谓语动词用了动词原形organize，省略了should。
【5】此处为and连接的两个特殊疑问句，其中are we leaving和are we coming back为现在进行时表将来。
【6】whether引导的宾语从句作asked的直接宾语。
【7】gave后跟的是间接宾语me和直接宾语a determined look，破折号后面的内容是对a determined look的补充说明，其中that引导定语从句，修饰先行词the kind。
【8】此处为when引导的时间状语从句，其中that our journey... 5,000 metres为that引导的宾语从句。
【9】此处为When引导的时间状语从句，其中the air would be... cold为省略了that的宾语从句，在宾语从句中主语the air是动词不定式to breathe的逻辑宾语，动词不定式用主动形式表示被动含义。
【10】Once在此作状语从句的连词，意为“一旦……就……”。
Several months before our trip, Wang Wei and I went to the library. We found a large atlas with good maps that showed details of world geography【11】. From the atlas we could see that the Mekong River begins in a glacier on a mountain in Qinghai Province. At first the river is small and the water is clear and cold. Then it begins to move quickly. It becomes rapids as it passes through deep valleys， travelling across western Yunnan Province【12】. Sometimes the river becomes a waterfall and enters wide valleys. We were both surprised to learn that half of the river is in China【13】. After it leaves China and high altitude, the Mekong becomes wide, brown and warm. As it enters Southeast Asia, its pace slows. It makes wide bends or meanders through low valleys to the plains where rice grows【14】. At last, the river delta enters the South China Sea.
【11】that引导的定语从句修饰先行词maps。
【12】as在此引导时间状语从句，意为“当……的时候”。现在分词短语travelling across western Yunnan Province作伴随状语。
【13】动词不定式to learn that...作原因状语，其中that引导的宾语从句作learn的宾语。
【14】where rice grows为where引导的定语从句，修饰先行词the plains。

沿湄公河而下的旅程
第一部分　梦想与计划
我叫王坤。从中学起，我姐姐王薇和我就一直梦想着进行一次伟大的自行车之旅。两年前她买了一辆昂贵的山地车，然后她说服我也买了一辆。去年她去看望我们的表兄弟——在昆明读大学的刀伟和宇航。他们是傣族人，在云南省西部靠近澜沧江的地方长大，湄公河在中国境内的这一段叫澜沧江，在其他国家境内叫湄公河。很快，王薇使他们也对骑自行车(旅行)产生了兴趣。大学毕业后，我们终于有机会骑自行车旅行了。我问我姐姐：“我们要去哪里？”是我的姐姐首先想到骑车沿湄公河从源头到终点旅行的。现在她正在安排我们的旅行时间表。
我喜欢我的姐姐，但是她有一个严重的缺点。她有时会非常固执。虽然她对去某些地方的最佳路线并不清楚，她却坚持要自己把这次旅行安排得尽善尽美。现在我知道最佳路线就是“她的路线”。我一直问她：“我们什么时候出发？什么时候回来？”我问她是否已经看过地图了。她当然没有看过，我姐姐不在意细节。因此我告诉她湄公河的源头在青海省。她给了我一个坚定的眼神——这种眼神表明她是不会改变主意的。当我告诉她我们的旅行将从海拔5 000多米的高地开始时，她似乎对此很兴奋。当我告诉她那里空气稀薄，呼吸困难，而且天气会很冷时，她却说这将是一次有趣的经历。我非常了解我的姐姐，她一旦下了决心，什么也不能使她改变心意。最后，我只好让步了。
在我们旅行前的几个月，我和王薇去了图书馆。我们找到了一本大型地图册，里面有一些显示世界地理详细信息的好地图。从地图册上我们可以看到，湄公河源于青海省一座山上的冰川。起初，河很小，河水清澈而冰冷，然后它开始快速流动。穿过深谷时它就变成了急流，流经云南省西部。有时，这条河变为瀑布，流入宽阔的峡谷。我们俩惊奇地发现，这条河有一半在中国境内。流出中国和高地之后，湄公河就变宽、变暖了，河水也变成了褐色。当它进入东南亚以后，它的速度就慢了下来。河水蜿蜒缓慢地穿过低谷，流向生长稻谷的平原。最后，湄公河三角洲的各支流流入南海。
课时作业(九)　Unit 3　Section Ⅰ　
Warming Up & Reading — Pre-reading
Ⅰ.阅读理解
A
Ai-Petri Bridges, Crimea
The views of the Crimean coast from the top of 1,234-metre high Ai-Petri Mount are amazing. The hanging bridges built in recent years can reach the top of the mount. If just walking across the bridges is not dangerous enough, it also happens to be one of the windiest places in the world. It is said that the bridges blow from side to side as wind speeds reach 170 kilometres per hour for 125 days of the year. It's also very foggy (多雾的), so you may not be able to enjoy the views!
U Bein Bridge, Myanmar
This five-metre-high, 1.2-kilometre wooden footbridge does not look as dangerous as the others, but do not be fooled. It was built in the 1850s and it's certainly feeling its age! Some of the old wood is not as strong as it used to be. It is easy to lose your footing. Although there is no handrail (栏杆), large numbers of tourists cross it every day. When the tourists arrive in the evening to watch the beautiful sunset, this bridge could become the most dangerous of them all!
The Trift Bridge, Switzerland
At 100 metres high and 170 metres long, this is one of the highest bridges in the world. Built in 2004, the bridge is hidden among the high Swiss Alps. You wouldn't have wanted to walk across the bridge before its repair in 2009. But if you have the courage to cross this bridge, you'd better do it quickly!
The Hussaini Hanging Bridge, Pakistan
In the mountainous area of Northern Pakistan, the Hussaini Hanging Bridge helps travelers cross the Borit Lake. However, you will not feel too confident when you get close to this bridge. It's one of the oldest bridges in Pakistan and many locals use it every day to travel to work and school — imagine losing your homework over the side of this bridge! It's made from rope, with a few pieces of wood that have large gaps (空隙) between them. Step carefully!
【语篇解读】　本文是应用文。文章介绍了世界上几处令人生畏的桥。
1．What can we learn about U Bein Bridge?
A．It's very popular at sunset.
B．It's very safe for people to cross.
C．It's the oldest bridge in the world.
D．It's made from rope with some old wood.
答案与解析：A　细节理解题。由U Bein Bridge, Myanmar部分介绍中的“the tourists arrive in the evening to watch the beautiful sunset”可知，黄昏时分在缅甸乌本桥上可以欣赏到美丽的日落，因此吸引大批游客到访。
2．Which of the following can be crossed to go to school?
A．U Bein Bridge.
B．Ai-Petri Bridges.
C．The Trift Bridge.
D．The Hussaini Hanging Bridge.
答案与解析：D　细节理解题。由The Hussaini Hanging Bridge, Pakistan部分介绍中的“many locals use it every day to travel to work and school”可知答案。
3．What do the bridges mentioned in the text have in common?
A．All are kept in good condition.
B．All have a history of one century.
C．All require plenty of courage to cross.
D．All are the highest in their country.
答案与解析：C　推理判断题。由这几处桥的内容介绍可知，艾佩特里悬索桥位于多风多雾的艾佩特里峰，缅甸的乌本桥古老且没有栏杆，位于瑞士阿尔卑斯山的特里夫特悬索桥是世界上最高的桥之一，而巴基斯坦的罕萨桥则由稀疏的小片木板构成。由此推测，人们需要鼓起极大的勇气才敢穿过这些危险的桥。
B
Ya Ting had taken me under her wing after hearing me speaking Chinese in a hotel in Lijiang. She had been hitchhiking (搭便车旅行) around China for months. She invited me to travel with her, which was how we ended up on the side of the road looking for a ride to the Tiger Leaping Gorge. Within 20 minutes, we had our first ride. The driver couldn't take us all the way and ended up dropping us at a freeway crossroads. As a new hitchhiker, I thought that would be the end of our luck, but almost immediately we got another ride.
Our most unforgettable ride was when a twenty-something kid picked us up. He couldn't take us the whole way so his uncle bought us lunch and a bus ticket for the rest of the journey. He felt it was his duty to help us find a way to complete our trip. It brought tears of joy and thankfulness to my eyes. This was the first time I understood how guests are respected (受尊重) in China.
A few weeks later, we said goodbye. I thought we had been so lucky because we had been a local (本地人) and a foreigner traveling together. But now Ya Ting was no longer around to do the talking, nor did I have someone to depend on if something went wrong. When I stood by a highway in Sichuan, I knew all about the difficulties before me. Now I was just a strange foreigner on her own who suddenly had to manage with poor Chinese.
After about 30 minutes, a couple picked me up and took me the whole eight hours to Chengdu. We ate lunch on the way, and they refused to allow me to pay for any of it, which I had come to learn was typical (特有的) of Chinese culture. This made me believe that people weren't being friendly because of Ya Ting.
【语篇解读】　本文是记叙文。文章是一名外国女士描述她在中国搭便车旅行的经历。
4．What do the author and Ya Ting have in common?
A．They both are foreigners.
B．They both live in Lijiang.
C．They both are hitchhikers.
D．They both speak Chinese well.
答案与解析：C　细节理解题。由第一段中作者对Ya Ting的描述“She had been hitchhiking around China for months”和对她自己的描述“As a new hitchhiker”可知，她俩都是搭便车旅行者。
5．What can we learn about the author's trip to the Tiger Leaping Gorge?
A．It was rather tiring.
B．It was very smooth.
C．It was full of danger.
D．It was heart-breaking.
答案与解析：B　推理判断题。由作者在前两段描述她们去虎跳峡搭便车的经历“Within 20 minutes, we had our first ride... almost immediately we got another ride... Our most unforgettable ride”可知，作者和Ya Ting很幸运地搭上不同的便车到达虎跳峡。由此可推断，她们的这趟旅行很顺利。
6．What was the main cause of the author's difficulties mentioned in Paragraph 3?
A．She lost her way.
B．She had little money left.
C．She was unable to find her friend.
D．She was a lone foreign traveler in China.
答案与解析：D　细节理解题。由第三段中的“Now I was just a strange foreigner on her own who suddenly had to manage with poor Chinese”可知，与Ya Ting分手后，作者面临的困难是：她是一名独自在中国搭便车旅行的外国人。
7．What did the couple do when taking the author to Chengdu?
A．They dropped her halfway.
B．They lent her some money.
C．They offered her a free lunch.
D．They taught her about Chinese culture.
答案与解析：C　细节理解题。由最后一段中的“We ate lunch on the way, and they refused to allow me to pay for any of it”可知，这对中国夫妇免费请作者吃了顿午饭。
Ⅱ.阅读填句
Simple ways to improve your written English
Many people think it is really difficult to improve (提高) their writing in English. Don't worry, though. Here are some simple steps that you can take to improve your written English.
·Increase your vocabulary.
To express yourself clearly, you need a good active vocabulary. That's not just being able to know lots of words — it means actually being able to use them correctly. __1__
Tip：When you learn a new word, try to learn all the forms of that word.
·__2__
People often say that we learn to write best by reading. Reading in English is useful in many ways. It is a great way to get an idea of the different styles of writing and see how to use words properly.
Tip: __3__ Learning shouldn't be boring. Read each text several times to make sure you understand how to use new words and expressions in the text.
·Improve your grammar.
Grammar is very important because it improves the quality (质量) of your writing.
Tip: __4__ The first time, look for general mistakes and the second time look for mistakes with the grammar point you are studying at the moment.
·Just do it!
The best way to improve your writing is to get a pen and paper and write. Be prepared to write several versions (版本) of each text. __5__
A．Know your readers.
B．Read widely and often.
C．Always check your writing twice.
D．Remember, practice makes perfect!
E．Choose books or articles that interest you.
F．Use simpler language and shorter sentences to show your ideas.
G．Do this by learning new words with example sentences, not just word lists.
【语篇解读】　本文是说明文。文章介绍了几种提高英文写作的简单方法。
1．G　G项中的“learning new words with example sentences”与该空前的“it means actually being able to use them correctly”相呼应。本段是说增加词汇量并不仅仅是知道单词的意思，而是要懂其用法。
2．B　由下文解释的“get an idea of the different styles of writing and see how to use words properly”可知，本段讲阅读对写作的帮助，故选B项。
3．E　由上文的“learn to write best by reading”和该空后的“Learning shouldn't be boring”可知，阅读有助于写作，但要选择那些让你感兴趣的书籍或文章，故选E项。
4．C　C项中的“check your writing twice”与该空后的“The first time... general mistakes”和“the second time... mistakes with the grammar point”相呼应。
5．D　由本段小标题Just do it！和下文中的“get a pen and paper and write. Be prepared to write several versions of each text”可知，想要提高写作就要多动笔写，俗话说得好，熟能生巧。

Ⅱ.阅读理解
If you're planning on travelling, there are a few simple rules about how to make life easier both before and after your journey.
First of all, always check and double-check departure(出发) time. It is amazing how few people really do this carefully. Once I arrived at the airport a few minutes after ten. My secretary had got the ticket for me and I thought she had said that the plane left at 10：50. When I arrived at the airport, the clerk at the departure desk told me that my flight was closed. Therefore, I had to wait three hours for the next one and missed an important meeting.
The second rule is to remember that even in this age of credit cards, it is still important to have at least a little of the local currency(货币) with you when you arrive in a country. This can be necessary if you are flying to a place few tourists normally visit. A few years ago I was sent to Tulsa, Oklahoma. I flew there from London via (经由) Dallas, with very little time to change planes in between. I arrived there at midnight and the bank at the airport was closed. The only way to get to my hotel was by taxi and because I had no dollars, I offered to pay in pounds instead.
“Listen! I only take real money！”the driver said angrily. Luckily I was able to borrow a few dollars from a clerk at the hotel, but it was very embarrassing(令人难堪的)．
The third and last rule is to find out as much as you can about the weather at your destination before you leave. I feel sorry for some of my workmates who travel in heavy suits and raincoats in May, when it is still fairly cool in London or Manchester, to places like Athens, Rome or Madrid, where it is already beginning to get quite warm during the day.

She is very reliable⑤ and I knew I didn't need to encourage⑥ her. To climb the mountains was hard work but as we looked around us, we were surprised by the view⑦.【5】 We seemed to be able to see for miles. At one point we were so high that we found ourselves cycling through clouds【6】. Then we began going down the hills. It was great fun⑧ especially as it gradually became much warmer.

沿湄公河而下的旅程
第二部分　山中一宿
虽然是秋天，但是西藏已经开始下雪了。我们的腿又沉又冷，感觉像冰块一样。你见过雪人骑自行车吗？那就是我们的样子！一路上，穿着长长的羊毛大衣的孩子们停下来看我们。下午晚一些的时候，我们发现，由于天气太冷我们的水瓶都冻住了。不过，湖泊在落日中闪亮如镜，看起来非常漂亮。王薇像往常一样在我前面骑着。她非常可靠，而且我知道我不必鼓励她。爬山是非常辛苦的事情，但是当我们环顾四周时，我们对这里的景色感到吃惊。我们似乎能够看到数英里远的地方。在一个非常高的地方，我们发现自己在骑车穿过云朵。接着我们开始下山。这非常有趣，尤其是天气逐渐变暖的时候。在山谷里，五颜六色的蝴蝶在我们周围飞舞，我们看到许多牦牛和绵羊在吃青草。到了这里我们不得不把帽子、外套、手套和长裤脱掉换成T恤衫和短裤。
傍晚的时候，我们就停下来扎营。我们搭起帐篷，接着吃饭。晚饭后王薇把头枕在枕头上就睡了，而我却醒着。半夜的时候天空变得更晴朗，星星变得更亮了。(晚上)几乎没有风，只有篝火的火焰和我们做伴。躺在星空下，我想着我们已经走了多远。
我们很快就要到云南大理了，在那里我们的表兄弟刀伟和宇航将会加入我们。我们迫不及待地想要见到他们！

Cycling on Ireland's West Coast
Don't worry if you're not a sporty kind. Our cycling trip is relaxing and easy. The leader drives a car which carries your bags and provides support if needed. But remember you should ride with group members. The group size is usually 9－12.
DAY1 — The Cliffs of Moher (莫赫悬崖)
Cycling a relaxed 32 km on our first day, we visit Ennistymon, a fine example of an Irish country town with many coloured shop fronts and traditional stone buildings. Then we continue to the seaside towns of Lahinch and Liscannor before we climb to the top of the Cliffs of Moher. These are some of the highest sea cliffs in Europe. The day ends in Doolin, where three pubs (酒吧) play the best Irish music!
DAY 2 — The Burren National Park
Covering 48 km on our second day, the highlight (最精彩的部分) is a wonderful coastal ride with the Atlantic Ocean on one side and the hills of the Burren on the other. On our way we stop at the lovely beach at Fanore. The day ends at Ballyvaughan, a pretty village on the coast, from where we plan to visit the Ceile in Kilfenora — the home of Irish dancing.

Charles Darwin 1ived an unusually quiet life. In 1842, Darwin and his wife Emma moved from London to Kent in southern England to have as little disturbance (烦扰) as possible. They already had two children then, and would go on to have eight more in the country.
Darwin had very regular (有规律的) habits. He rose early and went for a walk. After breakfast he worked in his study until 9：30 am, his most productive time of the day, and then read his letters lying on the sofa before returning to work.
At midday he would go for another walk with his dog, stopping at his greenhouse to inspect (查看) his experiments. Then he would go for another walk around an area of woodland. While walking on his “thinking path”. Darwin would consider his unsolved scientific problems.
After lunch he read the newspaper and wrote letters. His network of friends provided information from all corners of the world.
The Darwins were not very strict parents and the children were always seen running wild. Their father worked patiently to a background of playful shouts and little footsteps walking past his study door.
After dinner Darwin played backgammon (a game for two people to play) with his wife. He once wrote, “Now the result with my wife in backgammon stands like this：she... has won only 2,490 games, while I have won, hurrah (a cheer of joy or victory), hurrah, 2,795 games！”
Although he had poor health, Darwin continued to publish (出版) a lot of creative works until his final book in 1881. He died the following year, aged 73.
Rather than a quiet space in the local churchyard, which he called “the sweetest place on Earth”. Darwin was given a state funeral (国葬) in London's Westminster Abbey.

D．To be together with their children.
答案与解析：C　推理判断题。由第一段中的“moved from London to Kent in southern England to have as little disturbance as possible”可知，达尔文夫妇搬家是为了免受外界的打扰，以享受更多的宁静。
5．What did Darwin do every day?
A．He studied in the woods.
B．He started to work at 9：30 am.
C．He wrote letters in the morning.
D．He examined his experiments.
答案与解析：D　细节理解题。由第三段中的“At midday he would go for another walk with his dog, stopping at his greenhouse to inspect his experiments”可知，达尔文每天会去查看实验的进展情况。
6．What did Darwin's children probably think of him?
A．Strict. B．Sweet.
C．Cold. D．Brave.
答案与解析：B　推理判断题。由第五段中的“Their father worked patiently to a background of playful shouts and little footsteps walking past his study door”可推知，在孩子们眼里，父亲达尔文应该很温和。

Ⅱ.阅读理解
There's nothing like Christmas in New York City. Among hundreds of traditions, one of the most beloved is the Metropolitan Museum of Art's famous Christmas tree. People from around the world visit the Met daily and are impressed (印象深刻的) by the 20-foot tree and its special decorations.
Instead of the usual decorations, beautiful angels (天使) and candles hang from the tree. At the base are lifelike handmade figures of townspeople of Bethlehem doing their daily tasks, as well as animals. The room is warmly lit, and there's beautiful Christmas songs softly playing, creating a feeling of calm that is really hard to find during Christmas.
Jasmin, an Australian student studying in the United States, says that the tree is “wonderful because you don't often see trees like this.” And she says that her “favorite part of the tree is the beautiful angels.”
The tree has a rich history behind it. The decorations and figures were gifted to the museum by collector Loretta Hines Howard. More than 200 eighteenth-century figures were given to the Museum starting in 1964, and they have been displayed (展览) each holiday season with a Christmas tree. Each year, new angels and figures are added to the collection and display.
If you want to fully experience the beauty of the figures, you'll need to get close to the tree, most easily done when there aren't many visitors surrounding (围绕) it, so try to visit early in the day or on a weekday if possible. Each year they change how the figures are placed and with so many beautiful pieces in the collection, it's easy to find something new to examine.

2．How do visitors probably feel when entering the display room?
A．warm.　　　　　　　　　B．Lucky.
C．Peaceful. D．Satisfied.
答案与解析：C　细节理解题。由第二段中的“The room is warmly lit... calm”可知，展览室有温暖的灯光和柔和的圣诞颂歌，给人一种平和的感觉。
3．What can we infer about the figures?
A．They grow each year in number.
B．They were made by Loretta Hines Howard.
C．They show people's life in the 20th century.
D．They are especially popular among young people.
答案与解析：A　推理判断题。由倒数第二段中的“Each year, new angels... collection and display”可知，每年都有新的天使和塑像加入到展览当中，因此塑像的数量逐年增加。
4．Which of the following is the best title of the text?
A．Christmas in New York
B．Meet the Magical Christmas Tree
C．The Metropolitan Museum of Art

Ⅱ.阅读理解
If you're planning on travelling, there are a few simple rules about how to make life easier both before and after your journey.
First of all, always check and double-check departure(出发) time. It is amazing how few people really do this carefully. Once I arrived at the airport a few minutes after ten. My secretary had got the ticket for me and I thought she had said that the plane left at 10：50. When I arrived at the airport, the clerk at the departure desk told me that my flight was closed. Therefore, I had to wait three hours for the next one and missed an important meeting.
The second rule is to remember that even in this age of credit cards, it is still important to have at least a little of the local currency(货币) with you when you arrive in a country. This can be necessary if you are flying to a place few tourists normally visit. A few years ago I was sent to Tulsa, Oklahoma. I flew there from London via (经由) Dallas, with very little time to change planes in between. I arrived there at midnight and the bank at the airport was closed. The only way to get to my hotel was by taxi and because I had no dollars, I offered to pay in pounds instead.
“Listen! I only take real money！”the driver said angrily. Luckily I was able to borrow a few dollars from a clerk at the hotel, but it was very embarrassing(令人难堪的)．
The third and last rule is to find out as much as you can about the weather at your destination before you leave. I feel sorry for some of my workmates who travel in heavy suits and raincoats in May, when it is still fairly cool in London or Manchester, to places like Athens, Rome or Madrid, where it is already beginning to get quite warm during the day.
【语篇解读】　本文是关于旅行的建议——在去旅行之前你必须做的事情。

Cycling on Ireland's West Coast
Don't worry if you're not a sporty kind. Our cycling trip is relaxing and easy. The leader drives a car which carries your bags and provides support if needed. But remember you should ride with group members. The group size is usually 9－12.
DAY1 — The Cliffs of Moher (莫赫悬崖)
Cycling a relaxed 32 km on our first day, we visit Ennistymon, a fine example of an Irish country town with many coloured shop fronts and traditional stone buildings. Then we continue to the seaside towns of Lahinch and Liscannor before we climb to the top of the Cliffs of Moher. These are some of the highest sea cliffs in Europe. The day ends in Doolin, where three pubs (酒吧) play the best Irish music!
DAY 2 — The Burren National Park
Covering 48 km on our second day, the highlight (最精彩的部分) is a wonderful coastal ride with the Atlantic Ocean on one side and the hills of the Burren on the other. On our way we stop at the lovely beach at Fanore. The day ends at Ballyvaughan, a pretty village on the coast, from where we plan to visit the Ceile in Kilfenora — the home of Irish dancing.

Charles Darwin 1ived an unusually quiet life. In 1842, Darwin and his wife Emma moved from London to Kent in southern England to have as little disturbance (烦扰) as possible. They already had two children then, and would go on to have eight more in the country.
Darwin had very regular (有规律的) habits. He rose early and went for a walk. After breakfast he worked in his study until 9：30 am, his most productive time of the day, and then read his letters lying on the sofa before returning to work.
At midday he would go for another walk with his dog, stopping at his greenhouse to inspect (查看) his experiments. Then he would go for another walk around an area of woodland. While walking on his “thinking path”. Darwin would consider his unsolved scientific problems.
After lunch he read the newspaper and wrote letters. His network of friends provided information from all corners of the world.
The Darwins were not very strict parents and the children were always seen running wild. Their father worked patiently to a background of playful shouts and little footsteps walking past his study door.
After dinner Darwin played backgammon (a game for two people to play) with his wife. He once wrote, “Now the result with my wife in backgammon stands like this：she... has won only 2,490 games, while I have won, hurrah (a cheer of joy or victory), hurrah, 2,795 games！”
Although he had poor health, Darwin continued to publish (出版) a lot of creative works until his final book in 1881. He died the following year, aged 73.
Rather than a quiet space in the local churchyard, which he called “the sweetest place on Earth”. Darwin was given a state funeral (国葬) in London's Westminster Abbey.

There's nothing like Christmas in New York City. Among hundreds of traditions, one of the most beloved is the Metropolitan Museum of Art's famous Christmas tree. People from around the world visit the Met daily and are impressed (印象深刻的) by the 20-foot tree and its special decorations.
Instead of the usual decorations, beautiful angels (天使) and candles hang from the tree. At the base are lifelike handmade figures of townspeople of Bethlehem doing their daily tasks, as well as animals. The room is warmly lit, and there's beautiful Christmas songs softly playing, creating a feeling of calm that is really hard to find during Christmas.
Jasmin, an Australian student studying in the United States, says that the tree is “wonderful because you don't often see trees like this.” And she says that her “favorite part of the tree is the beautiful angels.”
The tree has a rich history behind it. The decorations and figures were gifted to the museum by collector Loretta Hines Howard. More than 200 eighteenth-century figures were given to the Museum starting in 1964, and they have been displayed (展览) each holiday season with a Christmas tree. Each year, new angels and figures are added to the collection and display.
If you want to fully experience the beauty of the figures, you'll need to get close to the tree, most easily done when there aren't many visitors surrounding (围绕) it, so try to visit early in the day or on a weekday if possible. Each year they change how the figures are placed and with so many beautiful pieces in the collection, it's easy to find something new to examine.

Ai-Petri Bridges, Crimea
The views of the Crimean coast from the top of 1,234-metre high Ai-Petri Mount are amazing. The hanging bridges built in recent years can reach the top of the mount. If just walking across the bridges is not dangerous enough, it also happens to be one of the windiest places in the world. It is said that the bridges blow from side to side as wind speeds reach 170 kilometres per hour for 125 days of the year. It's also very foggy (多雾的), so you may not be able to enjoy the views!

This five-metre-high, 1.2-kilometre wooden footbridge does not look as dangerous as the others, but do not be fooled. It was built in the 1850s and it's certainly feeling its age! Some of the old wood is not as strong as it used to be. It is easy to lose your footing. Although there is no handrail (栏杆), large numbers of tourists cross it every day. When the tourists arrive in the evening to watch the beautiful sunset, this bridge could become the most dangerous of them all!
The Trift Bridge, Switzerland
At 100 metres high and 170 metres long, this is one of the highest bridges in the world. Built in 2004, the bridge is hidden among the high Swiss Alps. You wouldn't have wanted to walk across the bridge before its repair in 2009. But if you have the courage to cross this bridge, you'd better do it quickly!
The Hussaini Hanging Bridge, Pakistan
In the mountainous area of Northern Pakistan, the Hussaini Hanging Bridge helps travelers cross the Borit Lake. However, you will not feel too confident when you get close to this bridge. It's one of the oldest bridges in Pakistan and many locals use it every day to travel to work and school — imagine losing your homework over the side of this bridge! It's made from rope, with a few pieces of wood that have large gaps (空隙) between them. Step carefully!

B
Ya Ting had taken me under her wing after hearing me speaking Chinese in a hotel in Lijiang. She had been hitchhiking (搭便车旅行) around China for months. She invited me to travel with her, which was how we ended up on the side of the road looking for a ride to the Tiger Leaping Gorge. Within 20 minutes, we had our first ride. The driver couldn't take us all the way and ended up dropping us at a freeway crossroads. As a new hitchhiker, I thought that would be the end of our luck, but almost immediately we got another ride.
Our most unforgettable ride was when a twenty-something kid picked us up. He couldn't take us the whole way so his uncle bought us lunch and a bus ticket for the rest of the journey. He felt it was his duty to help us find a way to complete our trip. It brought tears of joy and thankfulness to my eyes. This was the first time I understood how guests are respected (受尊重) in China.
A few weeks later, we said goodbye. I thought we had been so lucky because we had been a local (本地人) and a foreigner traveling together. But now Ya Ting was no longer around to do the talking, nor did I have someone to depend on if something went wrong. When I stood by a highway in Sichuan, I knew all about the difficulties before me. Now I was just a strange foreigner on her own who suddenly had to manage with poor Chinese.
After about 30 minutes, a couple picked me up and took me the whole eight hours to Chengdu. We ate lunch on the way, and they refused to allow me to pay for any of it, which I had come to learn was typical (特有的) of Chinese culture. This made me believe that people weren't being friendly because of Ya Ting.
