Most people choose hotels or hostels. But around the world, there are some very unusual places to sleep. Here are a few of the strangest hotels you can find. In Sweden, there is a hotel made entirely of ice. It's called the Icehotel. Every winter, artists build it using ice from the nearby river. The beds are made of ice too, but don't worry you sleep on warm reindeer skins! In spring, the hotel melts away. Next winter, they build it again. In Bolivia, you can stay in a hotel made of salt. The Palacio de Sal is near the world's largest salt flat. The walls, floors, and even some furniture are made of salt blocks. There's one rule: don't lick the walls! In Kenya, there's a hotel where you can sleep with giraffes. The Giraffe Manor is an old building where giraffes come to visit. They stick their long necks through the windows at breakfast time. You can feed them while you eat your toast! In China, you can stay in a hotel shaped like a giant teapot. The Teapot Hotel in Sichuan is 50 meters tall. It has rooms shaped like teacups. Guests can enjoy tea made from local leaves while looking at beautiful mountains. In France, there is a hotel in a tree. Les Cabanes dans les Arbres lets you sleep high up in the forest.

Why do people love to travel? Some travel to relax on beaches. Others want to see famous places. But travel does more than just give you a vacation. IT can actually change who you are. Travel makes you more open minded when you visit new places, you see different ways of living. You learn that there is not just one right way to do things. This helps you understand and respect people who are different from you. Travel helps you learn about yourself. When you're in a new place, you have to solve problems you might get lost or have to order food in a new language. These chAllenges show you what are capable, love. You come home feeling more confident. Travel reduces stress. Getting away from your daily life helped you relax. You forget about homework, tests and arguments with friends. When you come back, you feel fresh and ready to face your problems again. Travel creates memories that last a lifetime. You might forget what you learned in school last year, but you'll always remember watching the sunset over the ocean or seeing the iphone tower for the first time. These memories make you happy for years. Travel brings families and friends closer. When you share new experiences with people you love, you build stronger bonds. You have stories to tell in jokes that only you understand. You don't need to go far to get these benefits. Even a short trip to a new town can help. The important thing is to open your eyes and try new things, so next time you have a chance, hit the road and see where IT takes you. 外研七下时文阅读 Unit6时文阅读全能训练三 拓展阅读 建议作答时间：10分钟 姓名： 评价： Traveling Alone: Is It Safe for Teens? Adapted from Teen Vogue "Solo Travel Tips for Teens" Traveling alone can be exciting. You get to make all the decisions. You can go where you want and eat what you like.

Check in with your family every day. Let them know you're safe. If your plans change, tell someone. Be careful with money. Don't carry too much cash. Use credit cards or travel cards when you can. Keep your money in different places, not all in one pocket. Trust your feelings. If something doesn't feel right, leave. If someone makes you uncomfortable, walk away. Your safety is more important than being polite. Make friends safely. It's great to meet new people. But be careful about how much personal information you share.
