Every day hundreds of people pass through the San Francisco Ferry Building,a place where a variety of products and services are available. The San Francisco Ferry Building is the place where commuters catch their ferries at. It is also a place whose people come to walk and watch the activity on the bay. The area in which people shop for food is also where people can find restaurants and shops.
The Ferry Building began to be built at a time in 1875 there were no bridges. People had to take a train to the Berkeley or Oakland ferry terminals,there they would catch a ferry to San Francisco. When the Bay Bridge opened in 1936,the Ferry Building became an unnecessary place in that the ferries were left and forgotten. In the 1970s,when the traffic on the bridge made the commute difficult,the ferry boat service resumed. Now the Ferry Building serves as an activity center which San Franciscans shop,eat,catch transportation,and relax near the water.

The most frequent arguments for travel broadening the mind are that you get to interact(互动) with many different 41,ways of life and new experiences. In general this should be the case. 42,how much it broadens your mind depends as much on how you travel as where. 43 you go to Thailand and spend most of your time in a hotel,what you,re seping isn't 44 Thai culture. But if you take time to 45 its temples or stay with a family and immerse ( yourself in their 46 ,you might begin to get a good 47 of it. If you 48 anything out of your comfort zone,then you won't make the most of your 49 ,wherever you go. Of course travel 50 the mind if you’ re open to it and equip yourself with the knowledge you need for where you’ re headed; and after all,expanding our horizons is 51 to our growth and progress as human beings.
How much distance you cover doesn't show how adventurous you are. You can go halfway round the world, but if you just spend all your time 56 shopping malls,you can 57experience the real workings of the culture you’ve landed in. It's up to you whether or not you come back from another country with a 58 perspective on things. Travel doesn’t automatically broaden the mind. If you’ re a narrow-minded bore at home,the 59 are that travel just makes you a narrow-minded bore 60 a plane ticket. And what of those who don't,can't or won’t travel? Are they forever (注定) to an “unbroadened”
view on life? I'm sure they would beg to differ.
