A篇
Gather together some good friends and take a walk through the streets. This is what many young people in China enjoy doing when they visit a new city. To them, city walk means “hanging around the city” on foot. They often explore old buildings or small shops, and enjoy a cup of coffee or local snacks.
City walk offers them a way to communicate with a city. It also gives them a chance to meet new people. It can be a guided trip for a small group of people or simply a relaxing walk for one or two. They follow one rule: keep away from famous places and big crowds.
In China, city walk has become popular and has spread from Beijing and Shanghai to smaller cities. Xiao Yi is a young woman living in Changsha. Recently she started six city walk trips in different cities. Her plan is to provide experiences for visitors to “walk in open-air museums”.
Her Changsha trip includes more special sights, such as historical buildings from the 19th century and old streets. They even stop to taste the local spicy crayfish (麻辣小龙虾) along the way. Her group is usually made up of about six people. Her events last about half a day.
Some cities, such as Beijing, have included city walks in their plans to help develop cultural tourism. Shanghai has created city walk trips and is trying to help tourists reach much farther places by public transport.
Now, the idea of a city walk is new to most Chinese people. However, people working in the tourist industry believe it has a bright future. Zhang Zhi is a tour guide from Beijing. He said that tourists nowadays are paying more attention to personalized travel services. Many tour guides are also sharing their city walk experiences online to attract more customers.

B篇
Space tourism is space travel for leisure purposes. What was once only a dream—described in books such as Arthur C. Clarke’s 2001: A Space Odyssey—is now becoming a reality.
Futurologists are scientists who try to predict what life will be like in the future. After the first man landed on the moon in 1969, they thought that hotels would be built on the moon by the year 2000. Futurologists also predicted that, in the 21st century, families might go for a holiday on the moon. These predictions haven’t come true—but the development of technology may give a chance for these predictions to come true in the future.
Space Adventures is the only company to send people into space now. Space Adventures worked with the Russian Federal Space Agency and Rocket and Space Corporation Energia to offer chances for the world’s first personal space explorers. Each person paid over $20 million for their 10-day trip to the International Space Station.
Following several successful trips into space, more companies are now thinking about sending tourists into space. In order to make it cheaper, suborbital space travel is a choice for many companies, including Virgin Galactic. Explorers would go to a height of between 100 km and 160km above earth, experience 3-6 minutes of weightlessness and enjoy beautiful stars, and then come back down to earth. This costs each person about $200,000.
It could be an excellent experience, but there are some problems with space tourism. Many people believe that it could make global warming worse and it is not good for the ozone layer. What’s more, space travel is only really for the rich people. There are still millions of people in the world who couldn’t pay for it.
