Unit 9 Have you ever been to a museum？ 1. 有个人去旅游，看到一个牌子写着：“禁止喂食野生动物。”他走过去问工作人员：“为什么禁止喂食野生动物？”工作人员回答：“因为它们会太吸引游客，来采食的时候会把游客都吃光。” 2. 一对夫妻去度假，在海滩边上晒太阳。突然妻子想喝点酒，就叫丈夫去买一瓶啤酒。丈夫说：“好的，我马上去，但是你要记住，千万不要离开太阳椅。”结果当丈夫回来的时候，发现妻子不见了。他问海滩上的游客：“你们看见一个骑自行车的女人吗？”游客回答：“是的，她刚刚你走后就坐在你的太阳椅上了。” 3. 为了庆祝公司的周年纪念，老板决定带全体员工去旅游。当大家到达目的地时，老板突然变得很激动地说：“我们已经到达了一个梦幻的地方，我将给大家一个永生难忘的体验。”然后他把大门打开，发现只有一间小的破烂旅馆。老板很尴尬地说：“真抱歉，我刚给梦想家旅行社打电话确认是梦幻之地时，我可能记错了号码。” 4. 一对情侣去旅行，他们开车驶入一个看起来很迷人的小村庄。他们看到一个老太太坐在路边晒太阳，男友好奇地问：“这个村庄有多少人？”老太太回答说：“它从来没有变过。” 5. 一位游客到一个著名景点参观，看到墙上挂着一块牌子：“请不要触摸动物。”游客疑惑地问导游：“为什么不能触摸动物？”导游答道：“因为它们的感应器会将触摸信号增幅到高电压，会把你电晕！” 6. 在一个旅游团中，一个游客问导游：“这个地方有几座桥？”导游答道：“三座。”游客有些奇怪地问：“那为什么只有两座桥呢？”导游笑着说：“有一座是正在建设中。” 拓展阅读 （一） 【语篇来自二十一世纪学生英文报·试题原创】 Icy trip of a life time Carlien Wolmarans, 17, never thought she could go to Antarctica. “It’s pure nature at that place. I can really be myself there,” she said. This Saturday the South African high school student’s dream will come true. On October 18, Wolmarans, together with other seven teenagers, will set sail from Argentina on a two-week adventure. The eight teenagers come from six countries. They won the chance after 10 days of hard training in Switzerland. The first part of their expedition will be about sightseeing. But then will come the hard work. The young people will have to clean up trash from the beach and sea. They will also fix coral reefs and water channels in deserts. It is not a reality TV show. It’s Pangaea, which stands for Pan Global Adventure for Environmental Action. The Pangaea Expedition connects young people from all over the world. It will last four years. Twelve teams of explorers will cross all of the oceans and visit the South and North Poles. Anyone aged 13 to 20 can apply at mikehorn.com. The program will choose kids from each continent for training camps. The best will go on a free 10- to 12-day voyage. The explorer Mike Horn will lead the young people on his Earth-friendly ship. Their goal: to learn how to help save the planet. 1．Wol
