There are many reasons why I encourage people to travel, and I know that the experience will make one a better person.

I remember when I was travelling I began to know the world better. The world is not just about me, my small town and home. Although you will meet different people from all over the world, you will realize that people are similar in their dreams, hopes and feelings. Enjoy exploring the different cultures, and you will also find that people are different in some of the things they do and how they live. Once you understand their ways, it need not be strange or scary. Often we read stories about other cultures in books. Only when we visit their areas do we find that those stories are something wrong.

One thing you may find out is that there are problems all over the world. We can’t just get money to send to these areas and hope that will work them out. The world should get involved(干预)and help wherever there are problems. People everywhere should be given a chance. It is so easy to ignore this if one does not travel and explore. One can look around and see that so many people have many challenges worse than ours. One can realize that sometimes our biggest problems are not that big after all.

On your journey you will meet lots of new friends. Talking to strangers and finding about their lives is a great way to spend your time. You will certainly be more confident after having to cope with problems and make many decisions along the way.

When you travel, you have to be on your own in some situations. You will surprise yourself by how well you can do that. All your special experiences could make an interesting book to read. It would be filled with all your adventures and special memories.

Traveling around and seeing so much happening in the world around us is a wonderful experience. If we could all just travel a little more and share our experiences, we would all be better people and the world would be a better place.

Traveling means going from one place to another or from one country to another. It is immensely beneficial in many ways. From cutting down on stress to lowering your chances of developing heart disease, the health benefits of traveling are huge. Furthermore, traveling fosters understanding between nations. It is an important factor in establishing world peace. 【小题1】

Traveling and education both are interrelated. During traveling, a traveler visits different places and comes into contact with people in different regions. Thus it provides the traveler with first-hand knowledge. The knowledge we acquire in schools and colleges is mainly bookish in nature. 【小题2】 Traveling can remove this gap because true education takes place outside the classroom. Bookish knowledge can be made perfect and meaningful only by traveling.

【小题3】 The benefit of traveling to a new place is that it forces you to face the unknown and think differently. We have read the majesty of the Himalayas, the vastness of the ocean and the beauty of the Taj Mahal from books. 【小题4】 It impresses our mind with the vastness, and wonder of nature’s creation. Traveling helps the traveler to know how the wonderful earth is full of natural beauty.

In general, it can be said that traveling essentially has a great educative value. Traveling is adventurous, exciting, and a great stress buster. So, educational institutions of our country should give greater facilities to their students to undertake tours to various places of importance at home and abroad. 【小题5】 Seeing the world with your own very eyes will give you a better learning experience than any book can provide.

A.Finally, traveling has great educative value.
B.Traveling widens our view and removes our stress.
C.Thus, traveling should be made an essential part of our education.
D.Traveling is to gather experience, and wisdom comes from experience.
E.They seldom go out of their classroom and most have a narrow outlook.
F.But we can know much more of them if we see those with our own eyes.
G.In most cases, theoretical studies have no practical applications in our life.

Which city would you prefer to visit, London or Paris? London had welcomed 16.8 million foreign visitors in 2014, compared with 15.2 million visitors to Paris, according to a new report released by UK research firm Euromonitor International in January.

Boris Johnson, London’s mayor, is very proud. “With so many fascinating museums, the best theater scene in the world, more green space than any other European city, numerous top sporting venues, a low crime rate and much else besides, it is no wonder that people from all over the globe are flocking (蜂拥) to London in record numbers. These figures prove that London is without doubt the greatest city on the planet,” he told The Telegraph.

However, Paris’ mayor, Anne Hidalgo, is not as pleased. “London is in some ways a suburb of Paris,” she said. The Huffington Post used the word “bickering” to describe these back-and-forth insults (侮辱). It refers to arguments about unimportant things, like small children fighting over a toy, or lovers arguing over the TV remote.

France and Britain are separated only by the English Channel. For centuries, they fought over territory (领土). But in fact, Paris and London are very similar. Both are centers of fashion and the arts. Even their most famous landmarks are a little similar — the Palace of Versailles outside Paris and Buckingham Palace in London, for example.

That’s the trouble – they’re as good as each other. As the Daily Mail put it: London and Paris are “head-to-head” in their battle for supremacy. In fact, visitors to these great cities love them equally.Hidalgo also wrote an article in The Telegraph, but changed her words slightly: “London is a suburb of Paris and Paris is a suburb of London.” Does this mean these two cities could one day “grow up”, stop bickering, and become friends.

【小题1】Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the article?
A.Paris welcomed more foreign visitors than London did last year.
B.Anne Hidalgo didn’t respond to Boris Johnson’s remarks about London.
C.Boris Johnson is too modest when talking about the characteristics of London.
D.The author thinks it meaningless to argue whether Paris is better than London or vice versa.
【小题2】The underlined word “bickering” in Paragraph 3 is closest in meaning to _____.
A.jealousyB.quarreling
C.embarrassmentD.misunderstanding
【小题3】In her article in The Telegraph, we can infer Anne Hidalgo_______ .
A.showed an objective attitude toward London and Paris.
B.avoided comparing London with Paris.
C.displayed Paris’ beauty in many different ways.
D.defended her idea that Paris is better than London.

Day walks and shorter three-hour walks such as The Wreck Beach Walk or the Lighthouse Cemetery and Lookout Walk can also be enjoyed.
