You can love them or hate them, but no matter which tourist destination you visit, chances are you’ll see someone with their head buried in a Lonely Planet guidebook.

   Lonely Planet is one of the world’s largest travel guide brands, publishing more than 500 different guides in eight languages. The popular brand also produces television shows, websites and podcasts(播客)all devoted to travel.

   Some people praise Lonely Planet books because they make traveling easy and affordable. They also save time and make sure you don’t miss the best things.

   They also provide the reviews of hostels(旅店), hotels, restaurants and ticket information about your destination.

   This can be great if you’re a nervous traveler, or if you haven’t traveled by yourself before. If you’re in a country where you don’t speak the language, sometimes there’s nothing better than getting into a taxi and opening up a guidebook. You simply point to a map that directs the taxi driver to a hostel that’s cheap and clean, with friendly staff and cold beer.

   But others criticize Lonely Planet and other travel guide publishers like them. They say guidebooks take the fun and spontaneity(自发性)out of traveling, and that part of the enjoyment of travel comes from the fact that anything can happen. They also regret that if you follow a guidebook, you’ll end up doing the same thing and having the same experience as everyone else. You might end up seeing the same group of people over and over, because everyone is reading the same book and following the same route.

   Another criticism of travel guides is that they have a large impact on local communities. For example, some locals devote their lives to behaving in ways that attract tourists. They pretend to live a traditional lifestyle, wear traditional clothes and live in traditional houses in order to attract the tourist dollar.

64. The Lonely Planet guidebook can bring you the following advantages EXCEPT that __________.

A. you can speak a foreign language when opening a guidebook

B. you can easily find a nice place to stay in a strange city

C. it provides lots of useful information about your destination

D. it can help you save time and money when traveling

65. People criticize the guidebook because __________.

   A. it is not as useful as most travelers expect

B. tourist destinations will be crowded if everyone follows the same route

C. travelers may not get the chance to have unexpected adventures

D. local people keep modern lifestyles under its influence

66. What do we know about the Lonely Planet guidebook from the text?

   A. It’s a world-famous brand only producing guidebooks for travelers.

B. It’s very useful to a person who’s nervous about touring an unfamiliar place.

C. It’s very useful to a tourist who likes to repeat others’ experiences.

D. It is loved by all travelers because of the convenience it brings to travelers.

67. Which of the following best shows the structure of the text? (①—⑦ stand for Paragraph 1

—Paragraph 7 )

A. ①             B.  ①                C. ①                D. ①

Hi, dear boys and girls! Do you know how to be a healthy kid? Here are some rules you should follow.

Do you have any of these bad habits ? Check yourself by answering  “yes”or“no” to these questions.

a)      Do you move your lips when reading silently ?

b)     Do you point to words with your fingers as you read ?

c)      Do you move your head from side to side as you read ?

d)     Do you read one word at a time ?

If your answer “yes”  to any of these questions , start at once to break the habits. If you move your lips, hold your fingers over them, or hold a piece of paper between your lips while you are reading. Then when your lips move, you will know it and stop them. If you point to words, hold the two sides of your book, one side with your left hand, the other side with your right hand. Then you won’t have a free finger to use in pointing while reading. If you move your head, place your chin in one hand, and hold your head still.

If you read no more than one word at a time, you need to work in learning to take in more words at each glance as your eyes travel across the lines of words. Even if you read fairly fast now, you can learn to even faster. As you probably have been told, the secret of fast reading is to take in whole groups of words at each glance. Read in several groups and force your eyes along the lines of words as fast as you can make them go. Anyone who practices doing these two things will be able to read faster.                                       

56. What do you think of those habits talked about in the text _________.

A. we should remember those habits

B. they should be got rid of

C. they are difficult to get rid of

D. they are good for our studies

57. You may hold your finger over your lips while reading so as to __________.

A. hold a piece of paper between your lips

B. keep yourself from talking to others

C. tell others to be silent

D. feel whether your lips move or not

58. When your eyes travel across the lines of words, you need to __________.

A. read the words out       

B. look at every word carefully

C. read several words at a time

D. remember every word

59. If you can read fairly fast now, __________.

A. you don’t need to learn to read faster

B. you can go on reading like that

C. you can learn to read even faster

D. you can enjoy reading
