1 . It’s easy to assume that a vacation to Bali will cost a small fortune. There are plenty of accommodations, food and local transportation, and even the spas offer massages and treatments at value prices. However, you can easily spend a week or two in Bali for under $2,000, without having to sleep on the beach. Here are a few things to consider when planning Bali on a budget.
What is the best time to visit Bali on a budget?
If you’re on a budget, consider visiting Bali during the lower, wetter season, which runs from October through March. The crowds will be fewer, and both hotel rates and flights from abroad are often cheaper, except during the holiday period between mid-December and early January, when crowds swell. The only trade-off for the lower prices is the wet season. This time of year isn’t always ideal for sunbathing, and serious rainfall can make outdoor activities, such as whitewater rafting and visiting waterfalls and rice terraces, less than appealing. That said, even during rainy season, it doesn’t usually rain all day long. Expect bursts of sunshine between the storms.
What is the cheapest way to get around Bali?
The absolute cheapest way to get around Bali is by local bus, but it can take a long time. There are also tourist buses, including hop-on, hop-off options, that travel between different hubs across the island. Bali is well-served by taxis, both of the car and motorbike variety, and the prices tend to be affordable by international standards. Most drivers will offer you a fixed rate for full-day hires or to get from point A to point B, rather than using a meter.
Remember to bargain; doing so is particularly easy when a driver is on his own rather than at a taxi stand.
How much does food cost in Bali?
If you’re into fine dining, you can end up spending a large chunk of your budget on food. Eating at the average restaurant geared towards tourists is the best way to have a meal in Bali on a budget. A good meal should cost you around 100,000 rupiah (around $7), but if you’re willing to subsist mostly off of local specialties such as nasi goreng (fried rice) and eat at local restaurants, you can expect to pay around 30,000 rupiah ($2) to get fed. Best of all, most hotels and guesthouses in Bali come with free breakfast, and many offer heavier options of noodles and meat that may keep you full until lunch.
1. Which of the following situation can be best described by the underlined word trade-off in paragraph 2?| A．Jack got a reward after he returned the lost bag to its owner. |
| B．Lily spent much money buying some handicrafts at the local fair. |
| C．Wendy cancelled her trip in order to prevent the spread of the virus. |
| D．Sam was scolded by his parents for what he did in school last night. |

4 . Bermuda, the island known for its pink-sand beaches, blue .waters, and year-round warm weather, has been announced the Official Sponsor of the U.S.Open.It's a fitting collaboration (协作), given the island's reputation as a destination for travelers in search of perfect adventures 一just a ninety-minute flight from New York City.Lesser known, however, is that the long history of American tennis was introduced by this attractive Atlantic island.
Nearly a hundred and fifty years ago, the New York celebrity Mary Ewing Outerbridge sailed for days to vacation on this quiet island.She watched, fascinated, as some British soldiers stationed there played tennis, although a' version different from one we know today.The courts in Bermuda were shaped like hourglasses, the net was also higher, and a number of the rules were different.
Mary became fascinated watching the ball flying back and forth, and ended up purchasing a kit containing all the materials needed to bring the sport home to Staten Island.Using a hand-drawn diagram, she laid out a court at her brother's cricket club, where the sport caught on among members.From there, the game's popularity quickly grew, leading to standardized rules and regulations--and then, in 1880, to the first U.S.tennis championship.
In only a few years, Mary' s unexpected souvenir from her Bermuda trip helped set a national tradition: today, nearly eighteen million people in the US play the sport, from the public-tennis-court games in many cities to the annual U.S.Open, in NYC.Mary s role in bringing tennis from Bermuda to America has earned her a place in the International Tennis Hall of Fame.
It only serves to enhance the sport's appeal to learn that every swing of the racket in the US can be trace back to Bermuda, where island adventures still wait for all travelers--tennis lovers included.You' re welcome!

Last weekend, my friend Jim and I tried a new way to explore the Forbidden City, where left me a deep impression. To avoid wasting time queue up for the tickets, we tried making reservations online. It just tookus several minute to book the tickets successful. The next day’s visit amazed us. While wandering around the galleries, we attracted by the delicate chinaware. To our excitement, they could scan the QR code to listen to the introduction which give us a deeper understanding of the history. In the afternoon, we had an unique experience in the VR theatre. After the visit, I found the Forbidden City both tradition and modern because of our rich history was made alive here!
6 . Be a good tourist
Tourism can be good or bad. Yes, it brings in money for the local economy and creates lots of jobs for locals, but it may also bring some problems.
Another big problem in some places has been tourists disturbing the local people and life.
The number of problems from tourists is endless: walking in large groups without considering others who need to walk by, crossing roads without observing local traffic laws, and many more. The only way to solve the issue of the terrible tourist is to make sure that you not the one!
Remember, whenever you step outside your country’s borders, you are representing your country to the rest of the world.
| A．Just think from other aspects. |
| B．When in Rome, do as the Romans do. |
| C．Have fun in a way that does not disturb others. |
| D．Be the best, kindest, most polite tourist possible. |
| E．I have three words for people like this: please stop it. |
| F．One growing problem is tourists who want to prove that they have visited someplace. |
| G．Some tourists wander around and take pictures of local people without asking for their permission. |
Not all education can and should happen within the classroom. Sometimes, traveling is the best form of education, as students can get a number of personal and educational benefits from travel. From learning about other cultures first-hand to seeing where historical events took place with their own eyes, educational travel gives students the opportunity to deepen their understanding of art, science, history, and culture in many ways.
Educational becomes a whole new experience when students can see lots of tools and equipment for themselves by traveling to different places. The tools and equipment could be used by scientists decades or even centuries ago to make discoveries that make our modern world possible. Educational travel brings the materials off the pages and into reality, allowing students to connect themselves with them in a more meaningful way.
No matter where students go, it’s almost guaranteed that they’ll find some kind of food that is unique to that place or done better than anywhere else. If someone gets Chicago-style pizza in Chicago, they’re going to have a different tasting experience than they would if they were getting the same type of thing in, say, Texas. At the same time, getting chili in Texas would be a whole different experience from getting chili in New York or Chicago. Students can learn a lot about a culture by what they eat on a daily basis and what they consider a special meal, so it’s good to take a taste of the local food and learn through all of the senses.
Being away from family, home, and familiar ground is a courageous and independent adventure in its own right. Educational travel provides that opportunity to allow students to open their minds regarding how they choose to live life, which can be extraordinarily helpful in preparing students for college and adulthood. Traveling – with the combined social skills and perspectives(视角) it teaches – really allows students to better understand how they can operate on their own.

9 . In July, 2018, my mom asked me to accompany her to her 2019 school reunion in Malaysia. “I’d prefer to travel with you due to my bad eyes,” she said. “What do you think?” I was busy, but figured 2019 was ages away. “Sure!” I said, and forgot all about it.
Then, in June, my mom reminded me of my promise, but I’d totally forgotten about it by then. Did I have the time? Did I have the money? Did I have the will?
I’d walk into a fire for my mom, but we’re very different travelers. I usually travel alone with a backpack, whereas mom never travels alone, and takes so many carry-on bags that she looks like a Christmas tree. There was also the boredom. Mom’s childhood town is lovely, but we saw everything there years ago.
“Are you sure you need me to come with you?” I asked over the phone. Silence. Then Mom screamed at me not to worry about it and she wasn’t going any more. I screamed at her not to be silly; she screamed “Fine”; I screamed “Fine”. Then I felt bad and booked our flights and hotel immediately.
At first, it was fine. We drove past the apartment where she grew up, ate great food, then met her friends for yum cha (早茶). After a few days of this, however, I was bored. I’d grown tired of hearing the non-stop gossip about people I didn’t know. On the night of the reunion, I convinced mom to go by herself.
While she was out, I swam, caught up with work, and stared at the ceiling. When she came back, I was in a good mood. She was in an even better one, telling me about the reunion in ways that made me cry with laughter. All we’d needed was time apart.
The next day, as we shopped together, my mom laughed loudly as she pointed at a perfume (香水) bottle with the name “Si” on it – Si means faeces (粪便) in Cantonese. Mom put some of the perfume on, as we both cried with laughter.
She’ll never be the most well-matched person for me to travel with, but covered in Si, she reminded me that she’s definitely the funniest.
