W:Honey, I don’t know if I can do this again. I don’t want to move. We’ve moved five times in the past two years. It’s so much work, and I get so tired of it all. Can’t we just settle down somewhere soon? It’s so hard to leave everything—houses, activities, and friends, too. I wish we could stay in one place for a while.

M:Dear, you know my job is the reason we’ve been moving so much. We’ve talked about this many times before... It will probably only be another year before we can decide where we want to live for a long time. Right now, I’m still in the process of learning the business, making deals, and building relationships in the company. I don’t get much choice of where to go yet. But things are looking good, and I hope to get a management position by this time next year. It’ll mean I have to work even harder, but at least we won’t have to move around anymore.

W:You’re right. I’m sorry. I know you already work hard, and you like moving as little as I do.

【题目】I’ve personally traveled through many countries that have had U.S. government warnings issued for them, and I’ve been perfectly safe. Specifically, in the last year, I have travelled safely to both the Philippines and Mexico, and traveled to many South Pacific islands during the tropical cyclone (热带气旋) season and only experienced two days of light rain in six months!. This is, of course, anecdotal, so it’s important that you do your research before booking your trip.

One thing I recommend doing is checking for recent posts on travel forums (论坛), such as Lonely Planet’s Thorntree, to see what people are saying about the country you’ll visit in terms of safety. The U.S. government may make out that an entire country is extremely unsafe when in reality, it’s a small part of it that tourists will be unlikely to visit. Read the travel warnings, too, to see which parts of the country the government recommends that you avoid.

Additionally, it’s worth speaking to your travel insurance provider before you leave to check that you’ll be covered during your travels to these countries. Some insurance .companies won’t cover you if there’s a severe warning for the country, but some will. Travel insurance is a necessity, so it’s definitely something to check out before you leave.

Keep in mind that the U.S. government will help you with emergency evacuation (撤离) from a troubled country, but it comes in the form of a repatriation (归国) loan via the Office of American Citizens Services and Crisis Management (ACS), which can be called to rescue you from a bad situation abroad. Remember by heart that you’ll have to wait overseas for the money to arrive and eventually repay the loan once you’re home safely. Just another reason to get travel insurance!

1What should you do before a travel according to Paragraph 1?

A. Make a good route plan. B. Make a careful study of the trip.

C. Ask the government for help. D. Read the travel books first.

2What does the author advise you to check for on travel forums.

A. Tourist places. B. Lonely planet.

C. Travel safety. D. Weather forecast.

3Why is it necessary to know about travel insurance companies?

A. Some of them don’t cover all the countries.

B. They may provide false information.

C. They seldom talk with customers.

D. They sometimes offer bad service.

4What can we infer from the last paragraph?

A. ACS will repay the loan for you.

B. U.S government is very generous.

C. It’s easy to escape from a troubled country.

D. Getting travel insurance is the best choice.
