We often carry a lot of things when we’re traveling.    1    On long ones we carry things like passports, visas, etc. Though traveling can be fun, we’re likely to misplace these things and even lose them because of the excitement of the journey or being too busy or tired. So how can we carry valuable things safely while traveling?    2    Place most of it in a wallet and put the wallet in your main suitcase or bag with a lock-and-key system. Don’t open it until you reach your destination (目的地). Guess how much money you’ll need on the journey, and place this money in a different wallet and carry this in your pocket.    3    Next, instead of wearing your jewelry, you can carry your jewelry at the bottom of your suitcase or bag.    4    Many people think that since the purse is always going to be in their hands, it’ll remain safe. But other things like tickets, phone numbers, keys, etc., are all going to go in there. So you’re often going to open your purse for something or the other. What if you just drop it?Then remember to hook (钩住) the keys. You get those really nice key chains these days that come with a big dog-hook.    5    Use one of these to carry your keys. This way, you won’t leave the keys in a restaurant or any other place.Hope all the above tips for traveling will help you.

A．So you’ll know what to bring.

B．It’s a kind of vacation, but without your parents.

F．On short trips we take things like money, jewelry (首饰), house keys, etc.

G．Don’t carry it in your purse, just in case somebody is quick in stealing your purse.

2 . The ability to move around from one place to the other is the biggest virtue one can ever have. We humans, possess an extraordinary virtue of seeing, experiencing and learning from it, and this is precisely what makes our journeys more satisfying and enriching.

People travel for various reasons.    1    Though every person may have his/her own reason to go on a journey, it is essential to note that traveling, in itself, has some inherent advantages. For one, for some days getting away from everyday routine is a pleasant change.     2    It makes a person forget his worries, problems, frustrations, and fears, although for some time. It gives him a chance to think wisely and constructively. Traveling also helps to heal; it can mend a broken heart.

    3    Whether a person travels alone or with family and friends, the experience definitely gives him/her nice and exciting stories, which he/she can share with people back home. In fact, traveling away from home and spending time with near and dear one(s) can give the relationship an entirely new perspective and possibly, people may start understanding each other in a better way.

With people, their culture, thoughts and ideas also travel. When they go from one place to the other, they are bound to meet people and share their thoughts and experiences with them. This is where exchange of ideas takes place, and it definitely broadens a person’s outlook     4     It is very interesting to discover new and unknown ways and values; they really add spice to life.

3 . 24 hours in western Sydney: what to do, where to go

On a recent weekend, my boyfriend and I decided to explore the area for the first time.

Friday
6 p.m. — Check in at Atura Blacktown hotel

After an easy 40-minute train trip from Central Station to Blacktown (about $5 one way with the Opal smartcard), we catch a taxi (about $20) to western Sydney’s newest hotel, the Atura Blacktown. It’s a sleek but welcoming hotel with an open-plan lobby that incorporates an inhouse restaurant and a comfortable lounge area. Upstairs, we quickly warm to our modern guestroom, which features reliable, free WiFi, free movies on a large wall-mounted TV, and in the bathroom Malin+Goetz toiletries(洗漱用品). It’s good value at about $160 for a king room.

8 p.m. — Dinner and a drive-in movie
       The hotel’s Roadhouse Bar and Grill has an upscale menu (mains $25 — $40 per person) but a casual atmosphere, with an open kitchen and families seated at several tables. We’ve been told not to fill up on dinner so we reluctantly leave our tender scotch fillet(鱼片) and expertly pan-fried barramundi unfinished. At the reception, we pick up keys to the hotel’s white Cadillac, which is parked out front, and drive around the corner to the Skyline Drive-In ($20 for one car with two passengers).
Saturday
9 a.m. — Feasting in Bonnyrigg
       Everywhere we go, there is food. At the temple, we watch a famous Laotion chef prepare pawpaw salad, while at the mosque(清真寺) we are offered feather-light fairy floss. Later, in a low-ceilinged Asian grocer, we are fed sublime rice-paper rolls by a proprietor who speaks five languages. Those who dismiss ordinary Australians as conservative and intolerant have clearly not visited Bonnyrigg.
6 p.m. — People-watching at The Emporium   
       In Parramatta, the venue(场所) of the moment is The Emporium, a 150-seat exposed-brick space with a mod-Oz menu which leans Mediterranean. Unlike many of the more casual places we visit over the weekend, The Emporium has a decidedly grown-up atmosphere, full of well-dressed couples and smart wait staff. Dishes like a delicate stew of Moreton Bay bugs ($36) and truffle-stuffed chicken breast (also $36) are delicious. Don’t expect to get a table on Saturday night unless you book ahead.
1. How much did the author and her boyfriend have to pay at least on Friday?

A．$216.

B．$226.

C．$332.

D．$260.

2. According to the passage, a visitor to western Sydney can __________.

A．get warm in modern guestrooms	B．overeat delicious dinner
C．hire a car to see movies	D．feel unfriendliness from ordinary Australians

4 . Hiking, also walking for a long distance in the countryside is one of life’s simple and cheap pleasures. But is it safe? Sports writer Mark Waters considers the risks.

Imagine the following...

One day, Ronald decided to take up hiking. The next Sunday, he got up early, threw a sandwich and a bottle of water into a bag and headed for Sai Kung Country Park. Before going, he quickly looked at a map and decided that he could easily walk from the bus stop at Park Tam Chung to the beach at Dai Long Wan .

After walking for hours and hours under the hot sun, Ronald started to feel tired. He reached for his water but found that the bottle was empty. Then he smelt smoke and saw a fire. In a panic, he called 999. However, when he got through to the police, he couldn’t tell them where he was because he didn’t have a map...

Think about it...

Put yourself in Ronald’s shoes. How could you stop this of thing happening to you? One way is to   know the following common types of danger.

Getting lost

Foggy weather is one reason why some walkers get lost. However, a more common one is not having enough knowledge of the hiking route. Always remember to bring a map and don’t be too confident . Always choose a route that is right for you.

Heat stroke(中暑）

The summer in Hong Kong is very hot and wet. Many hikers forget this and walk for too long in the midday heat. They become hot and feel weak. Don’t forget during exercise, it is necessary to drink 100 to 200 milliliters of water every 15 to 20 minutes.

Accident

Some of Hong Kong’s paths are very hazardous and it’s not unknown for hikers to fall. Never walk alone and always bring a map and a mobile phone with you.

Hill fire

On average, over 10,000 hill fires a year take place in Hong Kong, injuring more than 600 people. Never light fires in non-marked areas and, if you see a hill fire, report it. Always stay calm and walk away from the fire into the wind.

6 . Lily，Susan, David, Chris和Michael分别计划假期去景点旅游，阅读下面旅游杂志上的6个旅游广告，从中找出符合5位兴趣爱好的最佳选项，选项中有一项是多余选项。
1    1    David：I like a relaxed and simple lifestyle.
2    2    Lily：I enjoy shopping, dining and nightlife. I want to surf and learn about Hawaiian culture.
3    3    Susan：I like a relaxed lifestyle. I want to take a scenic helicopter and watch the amazing eruptions( 火山喷发) of red-hot lava.
4    4    Chris：I like surfing and mountain-climbing and enjoy shopping, dining and nightlife.
5    5    Micha：I love outdoor activities and want to take a scenic helicopter.

A．Oahu Island – the gathering place Home to 80 per cent of Hawaii’s people, Oahu lets you enjoy the bustling and colourful city life of Honolulu, and world-famous Waikiki beach. Glamorous Waikiki is the main place for sun and surf. Otherwise go swimming, snorkeling, or relax and sunbathe on the many other fabulous beaches. Oahu is the place to be for shopping, great dining and great nightlife! But if nightclubs aren’t your scene, you may like to visit the museum at Pearl Harbour, or climb Nuuanu Oali mountain to find the best view of the whole island.

B．Hawaii – the big island Hawaii is also the name of the biggest island of the group. If you’d like a more relaxed lifestyle with friendly locals, then the Big Island has plenty of room for you. Take a helicopter ride around snow-capped Manna Kea, the highest mountain in the world if you measure from the ocean floor. Or visit Kilauea, the world’s largest active volcano（活火山）. Hawaii’s dramatic black lava landscape even include beaches with black sand.

C．Kauai – the garden island Small and uncrowded, Kauai is the perfect gateway for families and couples looking for a peaceful holiday. It has world-class golf courses, with great views! This island is ideal for those who love outdoor activities. The beautiful green Na Pali cliffs and coast are a great place to go camping, hiking and horse riding. You can go kayaking on the river, or take scenic helicopter flights.

D．Maui – the rainbow island Maui combines beautiful scenery with luxury resort-style living. No matter where you stay, you’ll see many wonderful rainbows. Of course there are the lovely beaches for snorkeling, surfing and whale watching, but you can also hike up Haleakala, the world’s largest inactive volcano. The town of Lahaina offers a lu’au - a fun evening of hula dancing and traditional banquet. It isn’t as busy as Waikiki, but there are still plenty of shopping, fine restaurants and nightlife.

E．Lanai – Hawaii’s best-kept secret Far away from the crowds, this island offers you a totally relaxing experience. It is a haven for all kinds of wildlife. You can go fishing on the deserted beaches, or just laze there. Maybe you can climb Lanaihale mountain. From the top you can see all the other islands.

F．Molokai – very different The lifestyle here lets you understand the way Hawaii was many years ago. If you’re looking for a total escape from a busy city life, this is definitely the place. Forget shopping, fancy dining and nightlife. Let a guide bring you on a horseback or bicycle tour of the rugged but beautiful scenery. Hike over the stunning cliffs of the Kalaupapa peninsula. The most important thing to do on Molokai, though, is relax and slow down.
