2 . Traveling alone gives you the freedom to create your own schedule and do as you please.     1     For example, a travel partner can provide practical support and celebrate in the rewards of first-hand experience with unfamiliar locations and cultures. Here are several steps to find a travel partner who will improve your journey.

    2     Traveling should be fun. When you are on a trip, you will want to do lots of activities that you enjoy. Preferably, your companion will want to do the same things as you.

Discuss financial plans. Before you travel, you should plan a budget.     3     You don’t want to be planning an expensive getaway when your friend is looking for budget travel.

Have an honest conversation. If you are thinking about traveling with a companion, take some time to have an open discussion. Schedule a time to sit down and talk. Try saying, “I know we’ve talked about the idea of traveling through Europe together. Let’s have a coffee this week and actually talk that through.”     4     You should also talk about your travel style.

Find someone who is flexible. Choose a travel partner who can adjust.     5    Maybe it will rain on the day you planned to visit the Grand Canyon. Or you might not be able to get reservations at that French restaurant you’ve been dying to try.

A．Look for someone with common interests.

B．You should discuss your goals for the trip.

C．Travel with a friend who is pretty easygoing.

D．But traveling with a partner has its benefits, too.

E．Make sure that you are on the same page concerning money.

F．Try to meet your new travel partner in person before your trip.

G．No matter how carefully you plan your trip, it is likely that something will go wrong.

4 . Did you know that, in 2016, over 18 million people attended classical concerts in Germany? That’s more people than those who went to main league football matches! Earlier this year, Germany continued its celebration of classical music with the opening of a new concert hall in the heart of Hamburg. Germans are very proud of it and it’s the first thing I show to my friends when they come to visit.

Known as the “Elphi” by the locals, the Elbphilharmonie is a beautiful tower of glittering glass sitting atop an old warehouse by the banks of the river Elbe. The plaza (露天广场) is open to the public and from the middle of the city’s tallest building, you can gaze across the harbour, miles of rooftops and passing ships below.

The main concert hall seats over 2,000 people and is one of the most advanced music venues in the world. Two smaller concert halls are used for jazz, world and contemporary music. In addition, if you’re unbelievably rich, you can buy one of the 45 luxurious (奢侈的) apartments lying within the building.

Construction began in 2007 with a budget of 241 million and a two­year period. Fast forward ten years, the building eventually opened with a final price tag of over 800 million!

I consider myself very lucky that the Elbphilharmonie opened during my time living in Hamburg, but unfortunately I haven’t yet been able to attend a concert. Everything is sold out for six months! For now, I’m content to visit the plaza to enjoy the impressive views over the clocks and see the innovative architecture up close. Hopefully one day soon, I’ll be lucky enough to grab a last­minute concert ticket!

7 . When you travel to Manhattan, here are some hotel recommendations.

BKLYN House Hotel

The hotel is special because of widespread works by Brooklyn artists. The 116 rooms are valuable and Manhattan is only 20 minutes away by taxi or subway. The environment makes it feel urban—the hotel is by a public housing project while the nearest commercial street is under tracks—but Bushwick’s best bars, cafes, and restaurants are nearby.

Doubles from $99, room only. Tel: 718 388 4433

CitizenM New York Times Square

This is the first US location for a Netherlands-based concept hotel chain—CitizenM. You can check in by yourself here via touch screen “MoodPads”. There’s a rooftop bar, a 24-hour grab-and-go cafeteria and an area with public iMac workspaces. Although New Yorkers avoid nearby Times Square, all the lights, cameras and action can make it a fun tourist experience.

Doubles from $170, room only. Tel: 212 319 7000

Archer Hotel   

Visitors eager to stay in the heart of Manhattan should try one of the inexpensive rooms at this hotel. Rates differ from great value to expensive; some start from as low as $179 a night. Rooms are small but tasteful, with nice decorations. Some have close-up views of the Empire State Building.

8 . Ecotourism(生态旅游): A Different Way to Travel

Are you attracted to obscure(偏远的)places? Do you prefer to vacation away from other tourists? Are you careful to take only memories and to leave only footprints? If you answered yes to more than one of these questions, you just might be an ecotourist.

Ecotourists are people who want to experience the unspoiled natural world and leave it that way when they return home. This trend started in the 1990s and ecotourism is now growing three times faster than the tourism industry at large. The Ecuador’s remote Amazon Basin(盆地) is contributing to that expansion, and it gives a snapshot of what ecotourism looks like.

At the Ecolodge, a small group of cabins(小屋) sits Kapawi Ecolodge in the middle of the Achuar people’s reserve(保护区) and is only reached by air. From here, visitors can explore parts of the Amazon rainforest seen by few outsiders. As they do local Achuar guides explain how the forest is like their supermarket, where they find food, clothing, medicine and tools. As a result, tourists learn to appreciate the local culture as well as the natural environment.

The owners of Kapawi pay monthly rent to the Achuar people, but they also train the community to run and manage the lodge. They have agreed on a plan to turn the operation over to the Achuar completely by 2011.The owners are working to make ecotourism benefit and empower the local people.

You probably won’t start your own ecolodge, but you can be an ecotourist if you follow these guidelines: Protect the environment; Support local businesses; Respect the local customs and traditions.

The world is full of fascinating places to visit. As an ecotourist, you can enjoy them yourself and make sure that they remain beautiful for future generations as well.

9 . I have well travelled in Spain and visited a good number of Spanish cities. However, no city will ever quite match Cadiz, where I spent six months studying as a student.

Before that, I knew very little about Cadiz but I decided to take a risk and explore it. Well, the risk certainly paid off.

Cadiz, Europe’s oldest city, hangs off Spain’s southern coast on a peninsula (半岛), surrounded almost entirely by water. As you leave the shady streets of the historical old city and explore more of it, you are met with vast areas of the blue Atlantic Ocean and white sandy beaches, which in my opinion are some of the best in Spain!

One of the great things about Cadiz is the wonderful, rich culture of food and drink. There are little tapas (小吃) bars lining every street and most will serve tapas for around 1.50~2 euros, meaning you can try a whole variety of Andalusian dishes.

Cadiz has also come to be known as “The Singing City”. It comes from the annual carnival (狂欢节), one of the biggest in Europe. A very large number of people go to Cadiz to see it. During those ten days, Cadiz’s narrow streets are filed with the sound of singing as musical groups fight for a place in the contest, which takes place on the last Saturday of carnival. The songs perfectly show the sense of humor of the Gaditanos, who, besides being so warm and welcoming, are said to have the best sense of humor in Spain!

That is my experience of Cadiz: a wonderful, typically Andalusian city which is often overlooked but well worth a visit. I can currently living in Huelva, just a short drive from Cadiz, so please pay attention to my next sharing!

1. What dose the word “that” underlined in paragraph 2 refer to?

A．Studying in Cadiz.	B．Competing in a match.
C．Teaching a student.	D．Becoming an explorer.

2. What does the third paragraph mainly talk about?

A．The unknown origin and long history of Cadiz.	B．The beautiful life of people living to Cadiz.
C．The geographic position and scenery of Cadiz.	D．The author’s complex attitude towards Cadiz.

3. Why is Cadiz called “The Singing City”?

A．A number of local people enjoy humorous songs.

B．Singing is everywhere during a big annual carnival.

C．Many grand carnivals attract well-known singers.

D．A lot of singing competitions take place each year.

4. From which is the text most probably taken?

A．A post on the Internet.	B．A geography textbook.
C．A travel brochure.	D．A biography.
