2 . Peru is one of the most popular countries in South America, mostly thanks to its Wonder of the World, Machu Picchu. There is much more to see and do in Peru if you’re willing to get out there and explore.
Stay at hospedajes.
Take public transportation. Embrace public transportation to get around — it’s super affordable so skip the taxis. You’ll save a fortune.
Travel off-season. For a low-cost trip, the best times to visit Peru are the months of April and May or September and October.
Take the colectivos. These are cheap buses that cost around 2-10 PEN for a ride.
Go on a free walking tour.
Bring a water bottle. The tap water here isn’t safe to drink so bring a reusable water bottle with a filter to save money and reduce your plastic use.
A.After all, it’s safe to travel alone in Peru. |
B.Best of all, traveling around Peru is inexpensive. |
C.Prices are usually cheaper during these periods. |
D.Peru has a ton of hotels to stay throughout the country. |
E.This is a great way to learn the history behind the places you are seeing. |
F.They are a bit confusing, as they don’t necessarily have a schedule. |
G.These are family-run hotels and are the cheapest accommodation you can find. |
3 . It seems that we just can’t get enough of roller coasters. Today we look at some top amusement parks and the roller coasters which have helped make them famous.
Holiday World
It is a family park that resists the exciting atmosphere of its competitors and instead offers a more relaxing and friendly experience. Rare in that it is privately owned and it has many features other parks can’t match. There is lots of entertainment for youngsters, and the park’s family-friendly policy offers free entry to the water park, reasonable food prices and unlimited soft drinks free of charge.
Lake Compounce
Lake Compounce, one of America’s more traditional parks, is a rare find indeed. As the oldest continuously operating amusement park in the US, it has been a popular family spot since 1846. Like many old-time parks, it witnessed the danger of being closed. Luckily, in 1977, a well-known company gave its revival with new rides appealing to many new fans.
Knott’s Berry Farm
As one of America’s favourite theme parks, Knott’s has something for everyone. For those seeking a breathtaking rush, try the roller coaster, GhostRider or the Xcelerator. GhostRider is the single largest attraction in amusement park history and one of the longest and tallest wooden roller coasters in the world. If you are after something less exciting, go visit the heart of Knott’s, Ghost Town, for a glance of life in the Wild West of the 1880s. With its cowboys, steam trains and historic buildings-many transported from mining towns-Ghost Town will let you relive a piece of the past.
Islands of Adventure
In the style of Walt Disney World, Islands of Adventure is divided into themed “lands”. Unlike the sugar-coated Magic Kingdom, however, IOA features attractions promising to set the heart racing. While the Spiderman is fantastic, you haven’t truly lived until you’ve experienced The Incredible Hulk’s wild and unique uphill launch. The effect is like being trapped inside an airplane that’s flying out of control.

4 . These are hotel rooms where you can have an unusual experience!
Amangiri, Canyon Point, Utah
A favorite of celebrities, this resort in the Utah desert is popular with any traveler. While every room here has character, none matches the elegance of the Girijaala Suite.
At over 3,500 square feet, the room boasts a large, private lap pool, a sweeping terrace (平台) overlooking majestic rock formations; and a sky lounge area where guests can bed down for the night under the clear Utah skies. But don’t worry if you get chilly; the interior of the room has a cozy king-size bed and a deep-soaking tub to help you warm up.
Beyond Ngala Safari Lodge, South Africa
At this property on the border of Kruger National Park, guests can reserve a one-night experience in a four-level tree house to see animals that roam the park.
And of course, this is no ordinary structure: the house is entirely self-sustaining with a solar power supply, a water collection system and a bio-rock sanitation system. The tree house is understandably off the grid (电网) so guests can sleep under the night sky taking in the magic of their surroundings.
Beverly Wilshire, Beverly Hills, California
The Beverly Wilshire has been a magnet for the rich, famous and powerful since its opening in 1928. Guests who reserve the Veranda Suite located on the roof of the hotel are in for a serious surprise. Not only is the room accessed by a hidden entrance behind a wrought-iron staircase, but it also has a 2,100 square-foot terrace with dreamy views of the Hollywood Hills. In the middle of this private, urban oasis is a 10-foot-tall tent with a crystal chandelier (吊灯),marble lamps and fur rugs. In a city full of stars, this may be your best opportunity to soak them in.

5 . William Lindesay, a famous Great Wall expert and conservationist, and his wife Wu Qi have traveled the globe by the back paths, providing their sons with a unique growing environment. Sun hats, backpacks and sneakers (运动鞋)—these are the day-to-day must-haves for the family.
Most of their trips seem far from relaxing—cultural study in the hot and dry desert, a 53-kilometer hiking tour of New Zealand, a one-day climb to three English mountaintops and a six-day train ride from Beijing to Moscow.
Many assume the family must be wealthy and can afford their global travel, but they are not. Lindesay says they just choose to spend money on travel and eschew pricey hotels and restaurants where possible. Lindesay mentions the trip to Moscow as an example. Instead of taking a taxi from the railway station to the hotel, they took the subway. “We crossed the city for saving money, communicated with local people, and saw they are people just like us, everywhere. We arrived at our destination feeling comfortable.”
However, their journeys, which can last weeks or months, have sometimes been inconsistent with their children’s schooling. Wu remembers once Lindesay let their elder son ask for leave so that they could go to New York for a 45-day lecture tour. Therefore the son missed his final exam. Things like that bother the family all the time.
Lindesay attaches great importance to learning out of the classroom, saying that children might score well on school tests, but traveling outside, in distant lands with different languages, cultures, and political structures, is the real test. “You can only get streetwise on the street. You can only get worldly-wise when seeing the world,” he says.
1. How can we describe the Lindesays’ trips?A.Pleasant. | B.Challenging. | C.relaxing. | D.Dangerous. |
A.Avoid. | B.Visit. | C.Compare. | D.Evaluate. |
A.They suffer from a tight budget. | B.They have scheduling conflicts. |
C.They are faced with language barriers. | D.They hold different educational ideas. |
A.Nothing is so necessary for travelers as languages. |
B.There is no royal road to learning. |
C.Actions speak louder than words. |
D.Man who travels far knows more. |

7 . Travel allows us to experience the world. But as we travel, we are also leaving our footprint on every place we visit. This is why culturally immersive (沉浸) travel is so important. Because the wrong kind of travel badly influences the world. One of the reasons we started this blog was to help others travel better and feel comfortable getting off the beaten path (常规路), communicating with locals, and take you “Beyond the traditional Bucket”, if you will.
People who only get 2-weeks off per year are often just looking for an easy destination with a beach to relax on. This isn’t travel. This is a vacation. But “immersive Travel” or "Cultural Travel" is an entirely new type of trip. It is about experiencing and protecting the various traditions around the world. It’s about being open to new experiences and willing to step into another’s shoes. Cultural travel is jumping in with both feet and leaving your idea about what your trip should be behind you. It’s eating local dishes and sleeping in guesthouses. It’s building genuine connections with locals. It’s learning about the history of a country and leaving your trip with a greater understanding of the place you came to see and the people who live there.
Often times in today’s age, “travelers” will visit a country just to snap some photos of the famous sights to post on Instagram or to drink the night away, or even just to relax on a tropical beach. But that kind of vacation can be harmful to the very communities you’re traveling to.
Beyond supporting the local communities and the protection of local customs and traditions, you’ll also experience some personal benefits through cultural travels. There’s simply no way to travel this way with a closed mind. You’ll get to know different cultures intimately and understand them a lot better. You’ll also become less judgmental (评头论足的) of others the more you travel.

8 . Travel should be enjoyable. It makes you take a break somewhere different, away from all the usual worries of life. However, your travel is often stressful.
Book well.
Find fun in your air travel.
We know that sometimes air travel can be annoying. In fact, airports are amusing places. There’s so much to explore.
The best things in life are simple and free. Make simple travel plans that make your travel more interesting! You learn about the culture and engage with (互动) the locals as well. Most of the time, you wouldn’t just walk with the tour guides who make you go through some places that just aren’t to your liking.

Ranwu Lake
Ranwu Lake is renowned for its tranquility (平静) and its purity of blueness. Scenery along the lakeside varies a good deal with grass, forest, autumn leaves, white waterfowl and snow mountains clearly reflected in the mirror-like water. Spring coming, a reflection of green trees dances on the lake and people feel like they are walking into a romantic dreamland.
The Yarlung Zangbo River Grand Canyon
The Grand Canyon is the deepest canyon in the world. With a total length of about 500 kilometers, its altitude spans from 7,782 meters to 550 meters around the Yarlung Zangbo River Valley. Visitors can enjoy both the peach blossoms and the snow-capped mountains.

10 . In most places a traffic signal in the middle of the desert, especially one for camels, may well be a mirage, but in this case it is all too real. At the Mingsha Mountain and Crescent Spring Scenic Spot in Gansu Province, northwest China, the world’s first traffic light for camels was set up to manage traffic in the popular tourist area.
According to a Chinese state-owned wire service, the problem was that the walking paths for human beings often crossed camel paths, creating traffic chaos (混乱). As a solution, workers cut a gap in the walkway and created a separate route for the camels. The traffic light now manages the flow of traffic at the new crossing.
Camel-riding tours are a big attraction for visitors to the area. But visitors to the Mingsha Mountain and Crescent Spring Scenic Spot will now be safe from camel crashes, thanks to the new traffic signal, which turns green to let the animals cross and red to make them stop.
The Mingsha Mountain and Crescent Spring Scenic Spot is already a tourist hot spot thanks to its breathtaking sand dunes (沙丘), an oasis (绿洲) and even the occasional snowstorm which create otherworldly scenery. The strange camel traffic signal could well become another attraction to enjoy on a visit to the scenic area.
The area is close to Dunhuang City on the edge of the Gobi Desert, and it used to be an essential resting point for travellers on the Silk Road. Dunhuang’s best-known tourist attraction is the Mogao Caves. The traffic signal is unlikely ever to reach the significance of the Mogao Caves, but at least it might help prevent a few camel traffic jams.
1. What does the underlined word “mirage” in Paragraph 1 probably mean?A.Reality. | B.Fantasy. | C.Scenery. | D.Mistake. |
A.To solve the traffic chaos. | B.To have camels go through. |
C.To attract visitors to the area. | D.To protect the visitors’ safety. |
A.It has become a tourist hot spot. |
B.It has prevented camel traffic jams. |
C.It could improve the tourism of the scenic area. |
D.It could greatly increase the camels’ population. |
