On August 27,2019,my friend and I boarded the first leg of our journey from Vancouver Island,taking us to Peru,South America.

Twenty­four hours and four airports later we landed in Cusco,Peru,a city of one million people.Coming from Vancouver Island,where we live and which is only 100 feet above sea level,we knew that we were now at a much higher altitude (海拔)—over 11,000 feet—and needed time to get used to the scarcer oxygen (缺氧) levels!We followed the advice of other travellers and the locals:drink lots of coca leaf tea and rest for a couple of hours before any activity.

We were soon hiking through the ruins (遗迹) and surrounding ancient castles of Cusco.Leaving Cusco the next day,we stopped at the Moray Ruins,which were used for farming by the Incas.Their size and unique design should be considered a lesson in historical engineering skills.This Inca site is one of the least known tourist destinations,but it’s one of the most interesting places to visit.

Arriving in the beautiful Sacred Valley,we stayed at Willka T’ika for the next week.This place is wonderful.We enjoyed delicious vegetarian meals,all made with local produce by loving Quechua people.

You can’t go to Peru without visiting historic Machu Picchu.The “road” up to the ruins is made up of an endless series of switchbacks (急转弯),resulting in cold sweats (汗).It was worth the ride though,as we walked through the ruins.

Too soon,it was time to leave Peru.We learned the unique history of Inca,Quechua culture,and the farming methods still widely practiced.The best thing we took away was how simple and caring the people are and how deeply they love the earth and everyone they meet.We promised to be more mindful upon returning home to Vancouver Island.

1. Why did the author drink lots of coca leaf tea?
A.To have a good rest.
B.To follow the local custom.
C.To feel better at a greater height.
D.To avoid getting thirsty on the way.
2. What does the author think of the Moray Ruins?
A.They’re known by most travel lovers.
B.They’re not as interesting as expected.
C.They’re no longer suitable for farming.
D.They’re an example of creative engineering.
3. Which can best describe the author’s trip to Machu Picchu?
A.Dangerous but worthwhile.
B.Easy and interesting.
C.Boring and risky.
D.Safe but tiring.
4. How does the author’s trip to Peru influence him?
A.It encourages him to be more caring.
B.It teaches him to accept differences.
C.It helps him understand his own culture.
D.It allows him to experience modern farming.

Tiger research: Indonesia

While sustainable tourism helps protect many of the Indonesia’s wildlife, one of its rarest species, the Sumatran tiger, suffers as the island’s cities expand into its forest habitat. Fortunately Biosphere Expeditions have created a trip that not only benefits the seriously endangered animal, but helps protect it too. Based in a remote camp in the heart of the rainforest, volunteers will be needed to tour the landscape, documenting tracks, kills and scats (粪便) to aid important research into the lives of these big cats.

Length: 13 days

Cycling tour: Cambodia

With an ancient world of temples and jungles, Cambodia is the kind of country that needs to be explored slowly. PEPY Tours offers 621 miles of green fields, dusty orange tracks and winding rivers on its 15-day cycling expeditions. Money goes directly to local people through homestays and lunches, while tours allow visitors to learn Khmer customs and contribute to ongoing community development projects.


Company: PEPY Tours
Length: 15 days

Beach stay: Tanzania

A winner in the Best for Beach category at the Responsible Tourism Awards 2014, Chole Mjini Island is a tourists’ paradise (天堂) located off the coast of Tanzania. With no roads or electricity, guests to the low-impact destination can enjoy a simple life in hand-built tree houses and spend days either stretched out on deserted beaches or searching for whale sharks.


Company: Chole Mjini Island
Length: 6 days
More information: www.cholemjini.com

Teaching: Morocco

It’s the breathtaking beauty that draws tourists to Morocco’s High Atlas Mountains, but while the remoteness of the setting may aid its charm it also causes problems. Few inhabitants of the region’s rural villages, especially females, continue their education past primary school. Education For All (EFA) is a Moroccan NGO that builds and runs girls’ boarding houses near secondary schools in the High Atlas, making further education theoretically possible. Based in the beautiful town of Asni, the programme is looking for female volunteers with teaching experience.

文章大意:这是一篇说明文。美国的一名旅行爱好者Mishana Khot在旅游网站Vagabondish上列出了旅行会带给人们的一些好的改变。

【推荐3】What does travel mean? To Mishana Khot, a US travel lover, travel is “more than just a stamp in your passport — it’s a stamp in your soul”. On the travel website Vagabondish, Khot listed some ways that you will change after taking a trip. Now, please take a look.

Travel shows the big picture.

Khot believes we may lose ourselves in our own lives from time to time. “Sometimes we can’t separate our daily existence from the broader perspective,” she argues. “    1     It forces you to see your life from the outside.”

    2           

When you are on the way, chances are that you will deal with flight delays, slow buses, bad food, horrible accommodation and much more. As Khot pointed out, if there is one constant in a traveler’s life, it is that travel will throw up situations that challenge you. You may have made the most detailed plan, but the next minute something just goes wrong.     3    

Travel makes you more grateful.

Whether you travel from a big city to the quiet countryside, or vice versa, there will come a moment when you are grateful for all you have. “When you meet someone with one leg who is hiking up a hill, you will close your eyes for a second and say ‘thank you’.” she said.

Travel helps you overcome your shyness.

During travel, you’ll be forced to communicate with many more people than you used to.     4    So, just throw away your shyness. That won’t guide you to your destination. Go and communicate with people.     5    

A.Travel makes you more adaptable.
B.Travel makes you more single-minded.
C.They’re an important part of the experience.
D.You may meet something pleasant when you travel.
E.Travel provides a chance to get away from your routine.
F.And sometimes you won’t even be able to use your first language.
G.You’ll go through anger and disappointment, but hopefully, you’ll learn to laugh at it and move on.
