Certainly we should look at the scenery(风景) carefully. 37 We should first know something about the place, such as its geography, its history and its famous people, etc. When we are ready for the tour, we can really understand the place during our tour even if we don't have much time. Secondly, take photos! 38 If you want to take some photos, remember to choose the most special sights. Thirdly, taste! Some people like to buy some food because they like it most during their tour. In my opinion(意见), don't buy the food because you can buy it in your own city or town. 39 Maybe you have only one chance to taste it in your life. Fourthly, write! When you visit a place, you should take a pen and a notebook. 40 Later, when you read it, you will find that you have pleasure during the tour. Have a good trip! 根据材料内容，从下面五个选项中选出能填入文中空缺处的最佳选项，使文章意思通顺、内容完整。 A. Also, before we leave our houses, we should find some books about the places of interest. B.
