More and more people enjoy traveling during their holidays. But why is traveling so popular? Here are some reasons. First, traveling helps you learn about the world. When you visit a new place, you see different people, food, and cultures. For example, if you go to Yunnan, you can try crossing-the-bridge rice noodles and learn about the Dai people’s festivals. These experiences are much more interesting than reading about them in books. Second, traveling is good for your health. Walking in mountains or swimming in the sea gives your body exercise. Also, being in nature helps you relax and forget your worries. Many people say they sleep better after a trip. Third, traveling makes your life more colorful. You can try new things like riding an elephant in Thailand or skiing in Harbin. Even if something goes wrong — like losing your way or missing a bus — these become funny stories to tell your friends later. However, traveling also has some problems. It can be expensive and tiring. Sometimes the weather is bad or the food doesn’t taste good. But most travelers agree that the good things are more than the bad ones. So, where will you go on your next vacation? Start planning now! 21. How many reasons for traveling are mentioned in the passage?​ A. Two. B. Three. C. Four. D. Five. 22.

As kids get older, parents can start to teach them how to plan their own time and things well. So if you want your kids to grow up with a set of life skills, then why not let them do some chores from now on? 26. What does the underlined word “beneficial” in Paragraph 2 mean? A. Boring. B. Useful. C. Sick. D. Enjoyable. 27. What’s the main idea of Paragraph 2? A. Doing chores can teach kids a lot of life skills. B. Doing chores can make kids feel proud and happy. C.
