[湖南长沙雅礼中学2024高二期中]William Lindesay, well-known Great Wall expert and
conservationist, and his wife Wu Qi have travelled across the globe by the back paths, providing
their sons Jimmy and Tommy with a unique environment for personal growth.
Sun hats, backpacks, sneakers and trekking poles—these are the day-to-day must-haves of
the family. This East-meets-West couple started travelling while their younger son was still a
baby in 2003.Most of their trips are far from the hot spots recommended by travel
guidebooks—heritage study in the Mongolian deserts, a 53-kilometre hiking tour of New Zealand,
a one-day climb of three English summits and a six-day train ride from Beijing to Moscow.
“Real travel may be hard, uncertain, uncomfortable, but there’s a feel-good factor when you
pass a test of some kind,” Lindesay wrote in the family’s travel journal.
Lindesay attaches great importance to learning out of the classroom, saying that children
might score well on school tests, but that experience of the world outside, in distant lands, with
different languages, scripts, political structures, and religious beliefs, is the real testing ground.
刷阅读理解
Children in this international family did not have the pressure to perform well in school
tests, but they had “homework” on the road. Wu asked her sons to write travel diaries, collect
tickets, draw maps and summarise travel tips. She says such habits, though they might not
directly improve test scores, will pay dividends in later life.
These experiences certainly shaped their sons’ characters and influenced their chosen study
at university. One read world history and the other studied international relations. The two
brothers also share an interest in historical monuments, the Great Wall in particular. They are
now planning to follow in their father’s footsteps with a new 4,500-km hike on the Great
Wall.“My parents view the world as a big classroom, and my brother and I are the biggest
beneficiaries,” Jimmy says.
【语篇导读】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了著名的保护长城方面的专家和环境保护主义者

动践行了“读万卷书不如行万里路”,并对两个孩子产生了深远的影响。
