ASince vacation season is over, it’s time to start thinking about ways to improve your travel literacy —your ability to get around without looking like a foolish tourist —before your next trip.Read a book.The right travel book can educate and inspire. “Good writing helps me to look at my surroundings with new eyes,”says Martha Merritt, dean of international education at the University of Richmond. A book about travel is not necessarily a travel guidebook. It can simply be a book —fiction or nonfiction —about a place.Find your attractive group on social media.That’s what Tiffany Burnette, who runs a design company in Philadelphia, does between trips. She spends time on Facebook’s travel groups connecting with new friends and learning new travel skills.Learn a language.“I spend 15 to 20 minutes each day working on my basic language skills so that I can at least show respect,”says Jeff Wilson, the host of “Real Rail Adventures”on PBS, “Phrases like ‘please,’‘thank you,’counting and asking basic travel questions.”Michelle Williams, who has traveled to more than 50 countries, says, “An app like Duolingo is a great way to improve your language skills before you travel.”While these tools could make you a smarter traveler, only one thing is guaranteed to improve your travel literacy. You have to get out of your seat. You can start yourjourney by visiting your travel agent from the United States Tour Operators.21. What can you improve after you read the passage?A. Ways of thinking.B. Ability to read.C. Ability to travel.D. Ways of learning.22. How does Tiffany Burnette learn new travel skills?A. By reading travel books.B. By connecting with travel groups.C.

Michelle Williams.BHong Kong (CNN) —Hong Kong will soon be more connected to mainland China than ever, with the city’s part of the high-speed railway scheduled (计划) to open on September 23.Costing more than $10.7 billion to build, the Hong Kong part of the Express Rail Link will connect the city with China’s 25,000-kilometer national high-speed rail network.The newly opened 26-kilometer line is part of the larger Guangzhou-Shenzhen-Hong Kong high-speed rail network, and is run by Hong Kong’s MTR company.Trains will leave from the newly built West Kowloon Station, offering travelers easy access to 44 destinations serviced by China Railways’famous bullet trains.It is said that 70 (Monday to Thursday) to 82 (Friday and weekends) trains will passthrough the station daily.The longest bullet-train journey from West Kowloon Station is the nine-hour Hong K o n g-B e i j i n g route, which costs from RMB1,077 or $157.In comparison, a direct Cathay Pacific flight (航班) between Hong Kong and China’s capital city takes three hours and costs $500 at the moment (according to Cathay Pacific’s website).The Hong Kong bullet train service also includes popular travel destinations like Shanghai (8.25 hours), Guilin (3.5 hours) and Kunming (7.5 hours).The most frequent service runs between Hong Kong and Chaoshan in southeastern China —a 2.5-hour journey —with five return trips daily.

Plogging usually contains running outside, with a bin liner or carry bag, while picking up rubbish which is thrown on the ground. The idea of plogging is mainly about environmental protection as well as physical health —to care for Mother Nature as well as your body.As a workout, plogging is more useful than simply running, because it provides more body movements by adding bending and stretching. As 2018’s hottest way of fitness, plogging has grown in popularity in more than 40 countries.Have you recently noticed people carrying trash bags while jogging? Or their hands filled with old plastic bottles? You might soon! Because plogging is making its way to the United States. It has been popular among exercisers who are tired of rubbish along their way.“I’m not going to just let litter sit there. I’m not going to just walk past that plastic bottle,”said Emily Wright, a plogger in California.“I run a lot and I love to spend time in nature. It’s so easy to just bring the litter and put it in the nearest bin, and it makes you feel that you’re doing a difference!”Laura Lindberg, who lives in New York, said a few months ago she learned about plogging and had what she called an “aha moment”. She has been plogging for several weeks along the Hudson River. “It makes me feel good for so many reasons,”Lindberg said. “Plogging not only helps the environment, it’s quite good for myhealth.”Plogging is an easy, affordable way to get fit and help the environment at the same time.

Researchers from Sheffield Hallam University in the UK examined students’reasons for choosing particular seats in a l e c t u r e h a l l,a n d s t u d i e d how seating positions influence student performance.“Interaction (互动) is a key part of learning and knowing who the students are interacting with can be a great benefit when designing activities,”said David P Smith of S h e f f i e l d H a l l a m U n i v e r s i t y.Many students preferred being able to sit with their friends, while others were more concerned with either attracting or avoiding the lecturer’s attention. Some students chose seats that allowed them to see and hear clearly, while others picked seats that a r e e a s y f o r t h e m t o l e a v e a n d t h a t make them feel less anxious, researchers said.Friendship groups who sat together tended to achieve similar grades, and students who sat alone at the edges tended to do worse than average.Lecturers may be able to use these findings to provide assistance to anxious students, and to support the learning of all students by encouraging interactions between the different groups.Appraising (评估) classroom rows based on academic success, some professors have found out that the front rows are usually held by outgoing scholarly students.“I notice the more prepared and active students sit in front rows.”said Dr. Chris Hammons, dean of the College of Arts and Humanities and chair of the department of government (London). Perhaps more importantly, the front row may be the ideal location for shy, timid students who have trouble paying attention. Also, sitting closer to the front of the room does have an effect on student-teacher interaction, which is l i n k e d t o g r e a t e r a c a d e m i c p e r f o r m a n c e.A c c o r d i n g t o a s t u d y published in 2013, students’grades lowered by 0.1 point for every row further backstudents sit.32. What is the most important part of learning according to David P Smith?A. Lectures.B. Seats.C. Interaction.D. Activities.33. How can lecturers use these findings to help students?A. By providing assistance to anxious students.B. By helping them to choose their friends carefully.C. By providing them with suggestions on choosing seats.D. By encouraging them to interact with different groups.34. Where does a student prefer to sit if he wants to get higher scores?A. In the front row.B. In the middle row.C. In the back row.D. At the edges.35. What is the main idea of the passage？A. Students should choose seats carefully.B. A study on seats is carried out by researchers.C. Different students may choose different seats.D.
