【推荐2】Are you worried by the rising crime rate? If you are, you probably know that your house, possessions and person are increasingly in danger of suffering from great rise in the cases of burglary (夜盗) and attack.

【推荐3】The return of the road trip

People are cager to get out of their houses, but not badly enough to get on a plane. The solution? A good old-fashioned road trip. As many states make travel rules less strict, they're encouraging people to move around within their home state to help increase local business. A road trip in one's vehicle allows for a sense of control and you know whose germs(细菌) are in your space.

The prioritization(优先) of cleanliness

Travelers generally expect a clean hotel room when they arrive, and now expectations will be higher than ever. We're about to become concerned with cleanliness to the point that it could become the top priority of hotels, more so than comfortable beds and good service.

Checking list can show whether hosts are practicing strict new clean guidelines, including a24-hour waiting period between bookings.

The new appeal of nature

Travelers will be rightly nervous about crowds and anxious to avoid them. That will result in an explosion of visitors to national parks and other places where crowds are less likely to be met with. This could be the start of the golden age of camping，as people want to get outside while keeping social distance.

_______________

Health is at the forefront of everyone's minds these days, and it is safe to say it'll stay therefore a long time yet. Meanwhile, people are sick of being indoors, so tourism is likely to reflect an increasing desire to promote good health while getting outside. Intrepid Travel's CEO James told The Times, "If 2020 proves to be a year we spend a lot of time indoors, 2021 will be about getting outdoors and getting active, with tours centred around things like cycling and hiking."

1. Taking a road trip is encouraged to__________

A．replace a tiring journey by air	B．prevent germs from spreading
C．improve drivers' control of the vehicle	D．promote local economic development

A．Hotels should put comfort in the first place.

B．Travelers should book a room 24 hours ahead.

C．Camping is a good choice to avoid crowds.

D．People tend to get sick after staying long indoors.
