My Favorite Travel Books
Matthew Karsten has been traveling around the world for nine years now, and it all started after he was inspired by reading some useful travel books. Here is his personal list of the best reads.
Travels With a Donkey in the Cévennes
Robert Stevenson
It is one of the first travel books I have read, which takes me on a walking journey with Robert and his donkey (驴) Mosestine across a mountainous region of France.

World Walk
Steven Newman
World Walk is the story of newspaper writer Steven Newman who packed his bag at the age of 28 to start a four year-long journey around the world on foot.

On the Road
Jack Kerouac
On the Road is a classic American travel book. The story, which is based on Kerouac himself, tells us about Dean Moriarty’s cross-country journey across America in the 1940’s. A great read for those who would like to escape the real world for a while and just go where the wind blows them.
The Cat Who Went to Paris
Peter Gethers
For someone who expects to experience life-changing wonders that await abroad, there’s perhaps no better resource (资源) than The Cat Who Went to Paris. Peter Gethers’ global journey with a cat named Norton puts a note of humor into many common travel situations.
21. Who does “I” refer to in the text?

David Grant and Yvonne Faulkner-Grant of Warwickshire, England always let their 13-year-old dog, Scruff, pick up the plastic bottles he finds while out on their daily walks. The dog carries the bottle for a while, and they kick it or throw it for him to chase. The game is over when Scruff loses interest and drops it.
Throughout 2021, David and Yvonne observed Scruff’s habit of finding even the most well-hidden bottles. They also noticed a marked increase in the amount of litter in their rural area. David says they were both taught never to drop their trash as children, so they couldn’t believe that people were littering so much. At the start of 2022, David and Yvonne decided to start picking up the bottles to bring home with them. It was the large number of litter that made them decide to train Scruff to gather other people’s trash.
Since starting this journey, Scruff has become a local celebrity in his neighborhood. David and Yvonne never let Scruff pick up anything dangerous, like glass. They also remain appalled by the amount of litter they’re seeing, and hope that people will hear Scruff story and either stop dropping trash or, perhaps, try picking it up themselves. Plus, Yvonne thinks Scruff took to his duties so well, other dogs could easily be trained to do what he does as well.
In the end, Scruff was able to gather up 1,334 bottles — along with three cups, a Pringles tub, and a baby feeding bottle. “If we walk the same route (路线) every day, he will find bottles on that route every single day.” said David. “We feel a bit of pride that we are picking them up, but a bit of anger that they’re even there,” Yvonne said.
24. In which situation will the game be over?
A. Scruff gathers 100 bottles. B. Scruff throws the bottle into the bin.
C. Scruff drops the plastic bottle. D. David Grant sells the bottle for money.
25. What were David and Yvonne taught from their childhood?
A. Don’t drop litter everywhere. B. Animals are our friends.
C. The best fish swim near the bottom. D. Every dog has his day.
26. Which has the closest meaning to the underlined word “appalled” in para. 3?
A. Satisfied. B. Shocked. C. Curious. D. Excited.
27. How do David and Yvonne feel about the result?
A. Excited and proud. B. Angry and disappointed.
C. Unhappy but understandable. D. Proud but angry.
C
As you walk around the UK in March, you might notice that some people are wearing a daffodil (水仙花) on their coats. The British wear these yellow flowers to show they support one of this country’s best-known charities: Marie Curie.
Marie Curie tries to ensure everyone who has cancer is cared for in the best possible way. It also helps fund research into possible cures. Founded in 1948, it has been continuing with its goal ever since.
The charity was named after Marie Curie, a famous scientist. She experimented with newly-discovered elements to create the theory of radioactivity (放射性). Unfortunately, over-exposure to the radioactive elements made her develop a disease and die in 1934. Marie Curie won the Nobel Prize in two different fields. Because of her pioneering work which led to chemotherapy (化学疗法), the charity decided on the name of Marie Curie.
The daffodil is one of the first plants to flower during spring in the UK, which marks the return of flowering plants to the ecosystem after winter. Because of this, the charity uses the daffodil as a metaphor (比喻) for bringing rebirth through charitable giving.
Everyone you see wearing a daffodil has contributed to the charity, but each daffodil is worth only what you want to pay for it. The charity does ask that you stick to a minimum amount of £1.
The charity encourages people to start wearing their daffodils at the start of March, when the “Great Daffodil Appeal” start. But that doesn’t mean you can only wear them in March. People are sometimes seen walking around with daffodils on their clothes all year round.
28. Why do some British people wear a daffodil?
A. To support a charity. B. To celebrate patients’ recovery.
C. To remember a scientist. D. To offer hope to cancer patients.
29. What makes the charity use the name of Marie Curie?
A. Marie Curie’s support for the charity.
B. Marie Curie’s achievement in cancer treatment.
C. Marie Curie’s research on radioactivity.
D. Marie Curie’s concern over cancer patients.
30. What does the daffodil stand for according to the charity?
A. Bringing life to other people. B. Returning of flowering plants.
C. Contributing money to the charity. D. Lasting care for patients with cancer.
31 What does the last paragraph mainly talk about?
A. A change in a British custom. B. The effect of a campaign.
C. A special activity held in March. D. The time to wear daffodils.
D
You’re rushing to school and a man ahead of you suddenly falls down. Do you stop to help? In a study of bystanders, it was found that some people look away or keep on walking rather than stop and get involved.
“People tend to decide that no action is needed,” says Ervin Staub, a psychologist at the University of Massachusetts at Amherst, who studies the role of bystanders. “The first thoughts that come into your mind often stop you from offering help.”
Time and again, good and caring people fail to come to the assistance of others. They know they should act and however, for reasons they themselves don’t understand, people sometimes don’t respond. Why?
One thing we know is that the unclearer a situation is, the less likely people are to help. Let’s say you see something like vapors (水汽) coming out of a building. You ask yourself, “Is it steam (蒸汽) or smoke?” If you are not sure, you look to other people for a clue about how to react. If you see other people doing nothing, you think, “Of course, that’s just steam.” You don’t want it to be smoke, because then you would have to do something about it.
Another one is known as “the bystander effect”. This says that the more people there are observing an emergency, the less responsible each one of them personally feels. For example, if you are the only person in the world who can act to save someone in a dangerous situation, you are more likely to act. However, if you are one of 100,000 people who could save the situation, you would be happier if one of the other 99,999 people did it!
“If you notice trouble, force yourself to stop and judge the situation instead of walking away,” says Ervin Staub. Then try to involve other people; you don’t have to take on all the responsibility of being helpful. According to Staub, it is sometimes just a matter of turning to the person next to you and saying, “It looks like we should do something.” Once you take action, most people will follow you and also help.
32. According to Ervin Staub, when accidents happen, people’s first thoughts ________.
A. force them to give a hand B. depend on others’ reaction
C. prevent them from helping D. often lead to embarrassment
33. What does “the bystander effects” in paragraph 5 show?
A. Many hands make light work.
B. More people, less responsibility.
C. The majority of people have the same idea.
D. People have a tendency to think twice before they act.
34. What should you probably act if you observe trouble according to last paragraph?
A. Call the ambulance as soon as you can.
B. Evaluate the situation and take action alone.
C. Stop and try to involve other people to help together.
D. Turn to others and ask them to take on the whole responsibility.
35. What can be the best title for the text?
A. Stick to Your Decision. B. Don’t Just Stand There.
C. It’s the Thought that Counts. D. To Help or Not, it’s a Question.

Jim slumped on the couch. Mother’s Day was coming up and he didn’t have a present. “How can I buy a present without money?” he thought.
Jim picked up the newspaper that was lying on the couch. He noticed a large advertisement on the front page. The local department store was sponsoring a contest. “Tell us why your mom is special and win a shopping spree(疯狂购物) for her,” said the ad.
“This is perfect!” thought Jim. He ran to his room with the newspaper, taking a pencil and a blank piece of paper from his desk, he started to write.
“My mom is the best mother in the world. She always makes a lunch for me to take to school, and she never forgets my dessert. She reads as many books to me before bed as I want. She always remembers to check under the bed for monsters. And she gives the best hug, but never in front of my friends, who would laugh at me for hugging my mom.”
Jim liked what he had written. He copied it neatly and got an envelope and a stamp from his dad. He ran to the mailbox with his entry(参赛作品), “Mom will love having a shopping spree,” he thought.
Jim checked the mailbox every day for his prize. Days passed by, and then weeks. Soon it was the day before Mother’s Day. Jim still hadn’t heard anything about the contest.
“What am I going to do now?” he wondered. He didn’t have a present and he didn’t have a shopping spree, and he still didn’t have any money. He had to think of something. Jim closed his eyes and curled his toes and thought so hard that his ears hurt.

【66题答案】
【答案】Dear Jack,
I’m worried that you’ve been addicted to sharing all sorts of photos in WeChat Moment recently.
Undeniably, WeChat makes communication convenient and leisure time colorful. However, there exist some potential risks if we overshare. One severe problem is leaking privacy, which may cause economic losses. Besides, oversharing can make others uncomfortable, for they think you are showing off.
Thus, never should we post our personal information, nor should we blindly add strangers to the list of friends. It’s wiser to set aside some time to accompany parents or do something more meaningful.
Best wishes!
Yours truly,
Li Hua

【答案】Suddenly he had an idea. He dashed into his room, and took out a pencil and a piece of blank paper from his desk. Then he began to write carefully, with his eyes sparkling. After he finished writing, he copied it neatly, and got another envelope from his dad. He put the letter into the envelope with great care and thought his mom would love the present. A smile of satisfaction flashed across his face. He rose from his chair, stretched himself, and went to bed happily.
The next morning, Jim handed his present to his mom. Seeing the present, her face brightened up. “I hope you will like it, mom,” Jim looked at his mom eagerly. His mom gave him a big smile, “Thank you, my dear! Whatever it is, I will like it.” Then she took out the letter, reading, “Dear mom, thank you for making me meals and dessert, telling me stories and giving me hugs. Thank you for everything. I love you!” Mom hugged Jim tightly, “Thank you, my son. I love you, too. This is the best present I have ever received.”
