It was my first day in Hangzhou, the Chinese city famous for its natural beauty and history and I didn't have much time to spare. I wanted to see     1     much of the city as possible in the two days     2     I was to return to Guangzhou. My first task was to decide where to go and     3     to get there. I took out my guide book in which there was a lot of information about the city's well-known tourist     4    (attract) and started to read. At that moment an attractive young lady     5     noticed my book, came up to me and introduced     6    (her). She said her name was Miss Bai. She kindly offered to show me     7     the city. I was delighted and was about to accept her proposal when she suggested we first     8    (go) to the West Lake and walk along the Broken Bridge. I quite liked the idea of visiting the West Lake but wasn't so sure about crossing the Broken Bridge.    9     it was broken, did she expect me to jump across？And I couldn't swim, so if I fell in then I would drown. That was definitely not an attractive idea so I politely declined her invitation,     10    (close) my book and walked away.

2 . If you are planning on travelling, there are a few simple rules about how to make life easier both before and after your journey.

First of all, always check and double－check departure (启程) time. It is amazing how few people really do this carefully. Once I arrived at the airport a few minutes after ten, my secretary had got the ticket for me and I thought she had said that the plane left at 10：50. When I arrived at the airport, the clerk at the departure desk told me that my flight was closed. Therefore, I had to wait three hours for the next one and missed an important meeting.

The second rule is to remember that even in this age of credit cards, it is still important to have some local cash with you when you arrive in a country. Once I arrived at a place at midnight and the bank at the airport was closed. The only way to get to my hotel was by taxi and because I had no dollars, I offered to pay in pounds instead. “Listen! I only take real money！” the driver said angrily. Luckily I was able to borrow a few dollars from a clerk at the hotel, but it was embarrassing.

The third and last rule is to find out as much as you can about the weather at your destination before you leave. I feel sorry for some of my workmates who travel in heavy suits and raincoats in May, when it is still fairly cool in London or Manchester, to places like Athens, Rome or Madrid, where it is already beginning to get quite warm during the day.

1. According to the passage, the driver was angry because the writer ________.

D．had no enough change

3 . When travelling around the world, I came across a beautiful town called Trancoso in Brazil. The people in the town were friendly and warm. What I ________ liked was that everyone gives the ________ acknowledgement（打招呼）when seeing each other ________ a wave or a stare. So as I was walking down the streets, people gave me the thumbs up. This ________ my day.

When I was lying on the beach, a man walked up to me to sell me some hats. I loved the hats but didn't have any money ________ me. He saw that I was ________ the hats, so he gave me the hat and said he would see me again to get the money and that there was no ________. This was such a(n) ________ way to sell something. Of course I accepted the ________ and still take the hat with me wherever I go because the hat makes me remember how ________ people could be.

Later on that day another man came over to me and asked ________ I wanted to eat in his restaurant. I accepted his offer ________ and followed him. It was the perfect restaurant for the town, ________ ten tables. The dishes were delicious and he paid ________ to each dish's taste and colour. When it was time to ________ he only took cash and I only had a card. With the ________ ATM about seven miles away, I didn't know what to do. He ________ to me and said, "Just pay before you leave town." This was the second time in one day that I had been given something without immediate pay. How surprising it was!

5 . To see the world is one thing. To have someone to share it with is another. Indeed the travel becomes more interesting when you have a travel partner. A travel partner can be a close friend, a family member, a pal you’ve met online, or a business

You can have someone to talk to

Traveling alone is fun，but wouldn’t you feel lonely? Having a travel partner can remove the feeling of loneliness. This is especially true if you can get a travel companion who is very familiar with the place you, re traveling to. You don’ t have to ask any information from the locals, and you can increase the time you spend in the country.

One of the major headaches in traveling is the costs involved. You can’t simply ignore the rising price of hotels or plane tickets. You should also think about your daily needs, such as your food. Of course, you can’t simply go back without bringing any souvenirs (纪念品)to your friends and family. All these can ruin your budg- et(预算).However, when you have a travel friend, you can have someone to share the expenses with.

You can meet a good friend

Having a travel mate is a good way of meeting a new friend or even a lifelong partner. You can never count the number of couples who actually found their way into each other’s heart while traveling together in another country.

You can have someone to watch out for you

When you’re in a foreign land, you’ll never be really safe. You don’t know   the rules as well as the culture of the people. A travel mate will be perfect to remind   you of your duties in the country and to watch your back just in case you get lost. So why don’t you find a travel companion now?

Let’s find out how ...

9 .     1     People traveled in search of food and shelter or in order to flee from their enemies. Sometimes they were looking for gold or silver in order to become rich. On other occasions they were searching for rich farmland.

This is not to say that no one ever traveled just for fun. Even in ancient times, some pleasure travel occurred. During a typical season, 700,000 tourists. would crowd into the ancient city of Rome, where animals performed and magicians entertained them.     2    

    3       International tourist arrivals alone reached as many as 546 million in 1994 and are forecast to rise to 937 million in 2010, according to the World Trade Organization.    4     Probably the most common reason for traveling is related to our physical well-being. Actually, traveling to sports events is one of the fastest growing types of travel. In our fast developing, modern society where stress has become part of people’s life, people can rest and relax by having a change of environment and activities.

    5     No one seems to doubt that travel broadens the mind. In 18th century Europe, young men would go on a Grand Tour to various countries in order to complete their education. Today the desire to travel to different countries is encouraged by modem mass media. People who travel to other countries can at the same time learn more about their own country and culture.
