1 . At the foot of the Tianmu Mountain in Zhejiang, a homestay (民宿) is attracting travelers from far and wide, which has won architectural medal at the 2021 German iF Design Awards.

The owners of the homestay are a couple in their late 30s who decided to return to their hometown three years ago. Li Xiumei used to be in charge of a division at a company in Hangzhou, and her husband was a sales director. It was an ordinary situation where Li’s husband was on business trips a lot and Li still worked on weekends. City life sometimes is not easy.

In 2018, they quit jobs and went back to Dongtianmu village, which lies in a forest of bamboo. The first time they drove into the village was one late afternoon. The cooking smoke was rising from the foot of the mountain, which gave them a very different feeling from the city.

The homestay was built beside her husband’s old countryside house. The old house is preserved (保留), while a brand-new building was built on its side and the whole site is made up of four courtyards. It has been updated to have a hall, a tea room, a kitchen, a dining room. Japanese cherry trees are planted in the east courtyard. A swimming pool is placed in the west courtyard, with a bar located on one side.

Li and her husband love gardening and music, and their new home gives them enough space to continue their interests and relax in the heart of nature. Li wants to share the quiet country life, so she makes her new home a homestay. In 2019, the homestay became an online hit after guests shared their experiences on social media. “The longer I stay here, the more I feel it was the right choice to come back, and this is more meaningful than making money,” Li says.

6 . Are you thinking about traveling alone? You must have a million questions: Where should you go? Will there be someone to talk to?     1     And is it all right to travel alone?

In fact, traveling alone is not as scary (吓人的) as it seems. Here are some good tips.

Choose a place where you feel comfortable and safe

Truth be told, traveling alone for the first time is more about the experience than the destination.     2     It could be somewhere close to home or somewhere you’ve already been with friends.

Make a plan

Always make a plan. That way you’ll avoid worrying too much over where you’re staying, what to see and how you’re getting from A to B.

Book hotels ahead of time

    3     Besides, when you book your hotel, ask if they will send a driver to pick you up.

Talk to people

If you’re going to a touristy place like Thailand, there are lots of other people who are traveling alone.     4     They might also ask you to join them for dinner or a beer. That happens a lot.

Let someone know where you are

Your family and friends love you and probably worry about you every day, so text them and let them know what you are up to throughout your trip.     5     And in case something does happen, they’ll know where you are.

A．How do you stay safe?

B．Don’t draw attention to yourself.

C．That will make you and them feel safer.

D．The first thing you need to do is believe in yourself.

E．So make sure to choose a place that you feel comfortable with.

F．Most likely, they’ll be easy to talk to and they’ll want to communicate.

G．This can make you less nervous when you’re traveling alone for the first time.

7 . Personal safety is most important when you travel abroad. Here are some top safest countries before your next international trip.

● Iceland

The third lowest incidence (发生率) of killing in the world, this country obviously leaves its visitors in wonder. A few other reasons to visit Iceland include:

From the middle of May through the end of July, there is always sunlight.

Keep yourself in the waters of geothermal (地热的) energy.

● Norway

Because people have strong religious (宗教的) rules, there is very little crime (犯罪) in Norway. A few other reasons that make the country a must-see include:

Perhaps it’s easiest to make the country’s people satisfied in the world.

Some places in the country enjoy 24 hours of sunlight.

● Switzerland

Most people are law-abiding (守法的) and hold guns in public. The pro-gun policy seems to stop criminals. Other reasons to visit include:

Nothing comes close to Swiss cooking

See the Matterhorn, and the Alps in person.

And again, 16 plus hours of non-stop sunlight.

● Finland

Not only is it an excellent choice to visit because of its breathtaking landscapes (风景), but there is almost no crime in the country a few other reasons to visit Finland include:

The beauty of The Northern Lights.

Helsinki and Russian churches.

Visit Santa throughout the year at his home office in Rovaniemi.

8 . You want to have fun and adventure and so you decide to travel somewhere to do it. Sounds like a simple enough thing. And basically it is. But what is adventure?     1    

For those who love sports, adventure travel can have a whole different meaning than for those who like history. The physical travel types that you can find include such adventure travel as white water rafting (白浪漂流), climbing and hiking to some mountains somewhere. To the hiker, backpacking across Ireland might be their adventure.     2    Often the goal is to push their body’s limits and test their individual endurance (耐力).

For those who less want to climb mountains, it might mean traveling to Nepal and joining in the local festivals.    3     Anything that is going beyond the normal defines (定义) adventure.

    4    Adventure depends on the persons physical limits, how much money the person has and what the person enjoys doing. If your life is quite busy, then sitting on a beach in the moonlight with your family might be adventure for you. The point is not what you do but that you have a good time and that it is an adventure for YOU—not for the person next to you.

Do not sit home this year when vacation time rolls around.     5    You will be rewarded handsomely.

A．Adventure travel is not necessarily suitable for everyone.

B．To those sports lovers, adventure travel means nothing but harm.

C．Adventure travel is not necessarily a one-size-fits-all type of vacation.

D．That is the key here and the answer can be different for different people.

E．Just go beyond your normal routine and head out on an adventure vacation.

F．For this type of person, adventure travel almost always means something physical.

G．Wine tasting in Italy is also vacation adventure for those who enjoys peace and comfort.

9 . Providing five-star luxury (豪华) in the middle of a treasured wilderness without damaging the environment might not be easy, but it is far from impossible. The King Pacific Lodge in British Columbia’s Great Bear Rainforest proves that if enough care and attention is taken, the task is within the reach of any tourist provider.

Unlike many other hotel building projects, no trees were cut down and no land was wasted in order to build it. The Lodge does not have the same location but sits on a floating boat pulled into the sea bay in May, till September. Those wishing to stay in one of its seventeen rooms must access it by boat or seaplane. Each guest staying at the Lodge is charged 3% conservation tax, but is rewarded by the chance to sight whales and bears. And since these are the main attractions of the area and of the Lodge, the management is well aware that in order to stay in business they must leave the area untouched.

In 2000, the Lodge management signed an agreement with the native Gitga’ at people. Together they work for the benefit of the area. The Lodge recognizes the native tribe (部落) as the owners of the land, pays the tribe for the use of their land and even supports the native youth and employs the tribe’s people. They, in turn, teach the newcomers about the local culture.

The King Pacific Lodge is one of a growing number of tourism companies that go beyond only minimizing (把……减至最小程度) their environmental effect to win the approval (批准) of the local community where they set up their business. These companies use environmentally friendly solution to problems, and are careful to limit their use of resources and protect threatened species. Realizing how destructive (破坏性的) tourism can be, they want to avoid the love-it-to-death effect of tourism and leave a lighter environmental footprint.

1. What can we learn about the King Pacific Lodge?

A．It is located in an area without any trees.

B．It can be moved from place to place.

C．Guests have to pay extra for the flight to get there.

D．Guests can take part in conservation programs.

2. What do we know about the Lodge management?

A．It cooperates with the native people.

B．It wants to borrow the land from the native people.

C．It does not care about the local culture.

D．It seldom considers protecting the environment.

3. According to the text, the tourist industry_________.

A．has a disagreement with the local communities

B．can limit the danger it does to the environment

C．ignore the importance of environmentally friendly tourism

D．will always do harm to the environment

10 . Everyone loves travelling, right? Unfortunately, money can sometimes be a problem…but not if you’re prepared.     1    

Tip 1：Decide where you’ll go based on your budget.

The cost of your trip can depend greatly on where you want to go. So, knowing the average costs in a country can help you plan your trip.     2     By contrast, Eastern Europe and South-East Asia are cheaper and still offer great cultural experiences.

Tip 2：Choose hostels and campsites.

    3     But sadly, in a lot of places, this is just not realistic for those on a budget. That’s why whenever I travel to countries which are expensive, I choose to stay in hostels or campsites. Hostels are a sure way to meet potential travelling companions while also saving money. Camping is also a great choice for budget accommodation, especially if you enjoy the outdoors.

Tip3：    4    

Another advantage of staying in hostels is that you will always have access to a kitchen. Eating in a restaurant can be very expensive, so you can easily save by cooking your own meals. Many cities have markets where you can buy fresh food and vegetables on the cheap, and you can even try to make the popular food of the country.

Tip 4：Look for discounts on major attractions

Obviously when you’re travelling you want to see everything the country has to offer.     5     Many tourist attractions have a student or youth discount and free for everyone on certain days.

So you see, if you come prepared, you can easily travel the world, no matter what your budget is!

A．Learn to cook traditional food.

B．Don’t always rely on restaurants.

C．How to travel on a budget is a tricky question.

D．Yes, everyone loves the luxury of a five-star hotel.

E．But you can research and see if it’s possible to see them for less.

F．For example, countries like France and the UK can be pretty expensive to visit.

G．Here are some tips to gain beer travel experience, regardless of your bank savings！
