Question

【题目】 Want to go on holiday, but don’t have enough money for luxury(豪华的)hotels and expensive trips? Backpacking might be a good choice for you.

Backpacking is a very cheap kind of travel. European and American students and young adults(成人)often do it because they may not have much money.

Backpackers will never use a suitcase(手提箱)during the trip.They put all their traveling things in a large backpack.

The most popular places for backpacking are Southeast Asia and South America. The countries in these areas aren’t very expensive, and are also very hot for most of the year. India and Australia are also very popular. In 2002, over 400,000 backpackers traveled to Australia. Sometimes, backpacking can be dangerous. A British backpacker was shot dead (枪杀)at a beach party in Thailand, and every year similar things happen.

Backpacking, in fact, is much more than a holiday—for young people in Europe,and they see backpacking as a way of learning about the world. Backpackers often travel alone for many months, so it is like an adventure and challenge(冒险和挑战).
