1 . Friends always ask why I, a middle-aged woman with no athletic (运动) talent (天赋), travel to perilous places — the jungles (丛林) of Thailand or Borneo, for example, where the water is often unsafe and the food risky; places with infectious diseases, poisonous snakes and the wildest animals.
I never know how to answer. Nine years ago I suffered a stroke (中风). To prevent another stroke, my doctors told me, I’d have to take dangerously high levels of blood thinner (血液稀释剂) for the rest of my life and any travel would be risky (冒险的).
I had to think about what was important to me: family, of course, and friends. But then what? No matter how many times I thought about it, I could not be happy without travel. Then I had to decide how I might manage the risk.
The first real test of my travel courage came nine months after my stroke when I joined my husband, Jack, on a business trip to China. After we’d toured the remains of a Tang dynasty temple on a high mountain, Jack wanted to ride down on a toboggan (长雪橇).
Before the stroke it would’ve seemed like fun. But now? I hesitated. My mental klaxon (高音喇叭) screamed warnings about the consequences of a cut, a fall, and a crash. Then, gaining confidence from who knows where, I lowered myself carefully into the toboggan, which marked my adventure (冒险) travel come back.
In the years since then, I’ve traveled about twenty-five percent of the time. Through it all, my lucks held out—no deadly falls, no car accidents or serious infections. For me, adventure travel is a risk worth taking. Travel broadens my world and keeps me connected to nature. What’s more, saying “yes” to travel keeps me connected to myself.

8 . Are you looking for a winter vacation destination? Try these four resorts (度假胜地) and it will certainly give you an unforgettable experience.
Solitude Mountain Resort, Utah
Solitude Mountain is a place often recommended by tourist agents. It’s a place to go if you love skiing in winter but hate waiting on lift lines. Loving a bargain doesn’t hurt either since the accommodations here are less expensive.
Key West, Florida
The crowds thin out and the prices fall in Key West in winter. Key West has a remote, romantic feel. It has inspired many poets and literary greats. It will inspire you to literally celebrate the sunrise. Surely, there are nightly sunset celebrations!
Taos, New Mexico
Taos, New Mexico, is a popular winter spot. Besides skiing, you’ll be able to experience all the culture and sights, including the thousand-year-old Taos Pueblo, the only living Native American community that is regarded as a World Heritage Site.
Big Sky, Montana
Big Sky, Montana, has more than 5,800 acres of skiing area spreading across a few mountains, with a vertical (垂直的) drop of 4,350 feet, as well as 85km of Nordic tracks. It’s a good idea to head for Big Sky for the fantastic skiing in winter because then it has been called “the least crowded resort ever”.

9 . We all love and have enjoyed an all-you-can-eat buffet(自助餐), but how many of us have had an “all-you-can-stay” holiday? It sounds too good to be true, but a hotel company in the Maldives is offering guests a once-in-a-lifetime vacation.
The luxury Anantara Veli resort(度假村) has a special package that includes unlimited use of its facilities(设施) for the whole of 2021. Customers will get the use of a two-person small house that lies above the clear blue waters of the Indian Ocean. The resort is also throwing in transport to and from the airport, 365 breakfasts, discounts on cooking lessons and water activities like diving and surfing. However, all this comes at a big cost of $30,000.
The Maldives has developed into a high-end destination for tourists. The country has been pretty quick to open its resorts to foreign tourists once again, even with the pandemic getting serious in many countries around the world. It is because it has struggled during the pandemic(疫情) as its economy highly depends on international tourism. Luckily, the Maldives is a tiny nation of islands in the Indian Ocean, about 700 kilometers from the southern tip of India. What’s more, most of its tourist accommodation is on private islands far from the main land. It will be a perfect choice for holidaymakers who want to enjoy a quiet holiday. A tourism spokesperson said the $30,000 package is good value and cheaper than staying in an average hotel for a year.
1. How does the all-you-can-stay holiday sound according to Para 1?| A．Expensive. | B．Unbelievable. | C．Worthwhile. | D．Awkward. |
| A．From this time next year. | B．Any time from today. |
| C．Every day except weekends. | D．All through the year 2021. |
| A．Because it is a high-end destination for tourists. |
| B．Because it is much safer than any other country. |
| C．Because the pandemic is not serious in this country. |
| D．Because it needs foreign tourist to support its economy. |
| A．An island country. | B．A package vacation. |
| C．A happy holidaymaker. | D．A reserve for island creatures. |
