1 . My husband, our children and I have had wonderful camping experiences over the past ten years.

Some of our _______ are funny, especially from the early years when our children were little. Once, we _______ along Chalk Creek. I was _______ that our 15-month-old boy would fall into the creek (小溪). I tied a rope around his waist to keep him near to our spot. That lasted about ten minutes. He was _______, and his crying let the whole campground know it. So _______ tying him up, I just kept a close eye on him. It _______ — he didn’t end up in the creek. My three-year-old, however, did.

Another time, we rented a boat in Vallecito Lake. The sky was clear when we _______, but storms move in fast in the mountains, and this one quickly _______ our peaceful morning trip. The _______ picked up and thunder rolled. My husband stopped fishing to ____________ the motor. Nothing. He tried again. No ____________. We were stuck in the middle of the lake with a dead motor. As we all sat there ____________, a fisherman pulled up, threw us a rope and towed (拖) us back. We were ____________.

Now, every year when my husband pulls our camper out of the garage, we are filled with a sense of ____________, wondering what camping fun and ____________ we will experience next.

3 . The days of the camera-carrying tourist may be numbered. Insensitive travellers are being ordered to _______ pointing their cameras at local residents. Tour companies selling expensive trips to remote corners of the world have become increasingly annoyed at the _______ of visitors upsetting locals. Now one such operator plans to ban clients from taking any photographic equipment on holidays. Julian Matthews is the director of Discovery Initiatives, a company that is working hand-in-hand with other organisations to offer holidays combining high adventure with working on environmental projects.

Matthews says he is providing 'holiday without _______, insisting that Discovery Initiatives is not a tour operator but an environmental support company. Clients are referred to as 'participants'. 'We see ourselves as the next step on from eco-tourism, which is merely a(n) _______ form of sensitive travel-ours is a more active approach.'

However, says Matthews, there is a price to pay. ' I am planning to introduce tours with a total ban on cameras because of the damage they do to our relationships with _______. I have seen some _______ things, such as a group of six tourists arriving at a remote village in the South American jungle, each with a video camera attached to their face. That sort of thing tears me up inside. Would you like somebody to come into your home and take a photo of you cooking? A camera is like weapon; it puts up a barrier and you lose all the _______ that comes through body language, which _______ means that the host communities are denied access to the so-called cross-cultural exchange.'

Matthews' views reflect a growing _______ among some tour companies at the increasingly rude behaviour of wealthy tourists. Chris Parrott, of Journey Latin America, says: 'We tell our clients that indigenous（土著的）people are often shy about being __________ but we certainly don't tell them not to take a camera. If they take pictures without asking, they may find themselves having tomatoes thrown at them.'

Crispin Jones, of Exodus, the overland truck specialist, says: 'We don't have a(n) __________; but, should cameras cause offence, our tour leaders will make it quite clear that they cannot be __________. Clients tend to do what they are told.'

Earth-watch, which pioneered the __________ of active eco-tourism by sending paying volunteers to work on scientific projects around the world, does not ban cameras, but operates strict rules on their use. Ed Wilson, the marketing director of the company, say: ' Some people use the camera as a barrier; it allows them to distance themselves from the reality of what they __________. I would like to see tourists __________ their cameras for once, rather than trying to record everything they see.'

4 . When I was a college student, I did a lot of travelling abroad.That was because a professor _______ me to do so. She said, “Now it is the time for you to travel around the world,_______ your knowledge through actual experiences and have fun!” I agreed with her.

Since I started to work for a food company, however, I have done most of my travelling through the Internet. By using the Internet, I have seen the _______ of many cities on my computer screen. And I have made real business _______, too. With the help of the Internet, I have also got _______ about food in different countries.

Therefore, I was beginning to feel that actual trips were no longer_______ when I happened to read a famous chef’s (厨师) comment on the Internet. He said, “It is very difficult to have real Italian food in a foreign country because we enjoy food and the _______ around us at the same time. So why don’t you fly over to Italy and enjoy real Italian dishes?” Those words reminded me of my professor’s advice. As information technology _______, you might be able to do without making some real trips. But this also means that you will miss the various _______ you can get from travelling.

Today there are people who________ direct contact with others and spend much of their time on the Internet. It is not surprising to see a group of people talking not with each other but into their cellphones. It seems as if such people are ________ by an invisible wall. They seem to be losing out on a good chance to ________ and talk with other people. I don’t think they are taking good advantage of information technology. We should use information technology as a tool to make our daily ________ more fruitful. However, we should never let it ________ our time for face-to-face communication. Let’s make use of information technology more ________, and have great fun in experiencing the actual world.

5 . My father was born in a small town in the US. He wasn't sure what he wanted from ______， but something told him to ______ and begin a new adventure.

He began that adventure traveling to cities in the US before going on to Australia, New Zealand and the Philippines. He took my mother and us three daughters with him and went wherever the road ______ him.

It's easy to feel _____ when you're on the road. We made lots of new friends on our trip — most of them are mechanics, since we often ______ hours in repair shops. But that was a way much _____ than sitting by the roadside while waiting for the engine to ______ when it was 40 ℃ outside.

Getting along well sometimes seemed ______. There were always a lot of _____， especially among us back seat passengers about who had to ______ in the middle. But even if it was hard, we learned a lot about ______. When we were traveling in the Philippines, we drove to Quezon City one day. It should have been an hour's drive but was nearly three thanks to bad roads and ______ traffic. “Did you put our suitcases in the car?” my father asked my mother as we arrived there. From the back seat, we saw her ______ turn toward my father. “No, ” she said. “I thought you did.” That was how a seven hour car trip turned into a 16hour one, which was mostly spent in ______.

On occasions like that, we had to learn to let go of our anger because we were ______ in a rolling box with the same people for the rest of the ______. Even if I sometimes felt like opening the car door and ______ one of my sisters out, I kept my feelings to myself.

This is why road trips were like ______ universities to us. We ______ our PhDs (博士学位) in how to get along with other people just by traveling in our old car.

If we were ______ given a second chance at life, we would do it all over again. Only this time would I put the suitcases in the car myself.

6 . Though Armenia isn’t exactly ready for groups of foreign hikers, the country rewards those who make the effort. When my son recently finished graduate school, I seized the_________to spend a week hiking_________him in my own father’s homeland.

In the forested national park, we__________, the ruins of a 1,000-year-old monastery (修道院)__________in a mountain top clearing. That__________me of the people who hiked to the site to__________when it was built. “It seemed such a very different__________from driving to a church parking lot these days.”

Marc and I never did reach the summit (山顶) of Aragats, Armenia’s__________mountain. That would have__________the climbers to cover 6,000 feet in one day. and when a storm__________, we settled on the mountain’s secondary peak.__________so, “we weren’t disappointed.” A mountain doesn’t always__________to a climber’s first attempt, and a country doesn’t reveal all its treasures in a week. Our adventure, we know, had “only scratched the__________.”

7 . Recently we took a trip to the South of France. As my parents are both ________, they decided to take me along on their artist residency program, ________ in the charming city of Arles in the Provence region, which is famous as the town where Vincent van Gogh ________ some of his most famous works.

9 . For decades, humans have torn up the natural landscape in Asia, cutting down trees to build resorts (旅游胜地) in the most beautiful locations and caging wild animals to attract tourists.

Bangkok-based hotel architect Bill Bensley is saying “_________.”

When a businessman talked with him about _________ a resort that included a zoo in Asia, he came up with a (n) _________: let’s _________ the humans and let the rare and endangered _________ wander free.
