　　A spirit of adventure, curiosity about different cultures and the desire for a challenge can e found in young people everywhere．More and more students in China are backpacking around the country．

　　According to the China Youth Travel Service, Hainan, Dalian, Zhangjiajie and Qingdao were among the most popular sports for young Chinese backpackers last year．Backpacking allows the traveler a greater sense of independence．

　　“I can no longer put up with the instructions of a tourist guide,”said Huang Ye, a 19－year－old college student in Beijing．“They are always driving you to places that you do not want to go to and trying to make you buy local souvenirs．”

　　Huang likes to travel as a backpacker．She prefers an independent trip that she took with two friends to Jiuzhaigou in Sichuan Province．There, they chose some scenic spots to visit and avoided the masses of tourists．

　　Backpackers see the difficulties of such travel as a challenge．Living on bread and water for days on end, wearing the dame clothes over and over again and carrying a heavy bag on their backs while climbing a mountain are all character－building experiences．

　　But perhaps the greatest challenge that a backpacker faces is not a physical one, but mental．They may face loneliness if they travel alone．

　　Chen Xuewei, 21, suffered when he took off around China last year．“I felt very lonely at the beginning of my journey．A walkman didn’t make me feel better, but rather heightened the sense fo loneliness I felt．I even called up my friends to tell them that I wanted to give up and go back to Beijing,”he recalled．But he kept going．He started to make friends and appreciate the local customs．He took lots of photos to record his trip and now he is glad he stuck it out．

　　Backpackers generally find themselves to be mature after their experiences．“Their travel logs(旅行日志)track their development as people．”“When I feel frustrated, I read my travel log again,”said Tang Weifeng, a postgraduate at Beijing University．“By reading it, I get a sense that I am better off now than I was when I wrote those words by the light of a torch．”

   At a certain time in our lives we consider every place as the possible sites(地点) for a house. I have thus searched the country within a dozen miles of where I live. In imagination I have bought all the farms, one after another, and I knew their prices.

   The nearest thing that I came to actual ownership was when I bought the Hollowell place. But before the owner completed the sale with me, his wife changed her mind and wished to keep it, and he offered me additional dollars to return the farm to him. However, I let him keep the additional dollars and sold him the farm for just what I gave for it.

   The real attractiong of the Hollowell farm to me were its position, being about two miles from the village, half a mile from the nearest neighbor, bounded(相邻) on one side by the river, and separated from the highway by a wide field. The poor condition fo the house and fences showed that it hadn’t been used for some time. I remembered from my earliest trip up the river that the house used to be hidden behind a forest area, and I was in a hurry to buy it before the owner finished getting out some rocks, cutting down the apples trees, and clearing away some young trees which had grown up in the fields. I wanted to buy it before he made any more of his improvements. But it turned out as I have said.

   I was not really troubled by the loss. I had always had a garden, but I don’t thing I was ready for a large farm. I believe that as long as possible it is better to live free and uncommitted (无牵挂的). It makes but little difference whether you own a farm or not.

It looks a bit like the coolers used to keep drinks fresh on asunny day but the cool box being tested in hot Mozambique serves a higher purpose –saving lives from malaria(疟疾).

The new cool box is intended to keep malaria medicines at 25 degrees Celsius(77 degrees Fahrenheir) or below in poor rural areas without electricity where the temperature can reach 45 degrees Celsius.

“At the beginning, the cool boxes will be used to store malarial drugs,” said Parfair Komlan Edah, advisor to John Snow Incorporated, a US company developing the coolers.

“We will change the treatment pattern and procedure because the drugs are expensive and they have to be well stored to be effective,” he said.

The projuct, funded by the US Agency for International Development , started in 2006 and is still at an expermental stage. The coolers are currently being tested in three regions of Mozambique –Maputo, Tete and Zambezia.

The tests will determine whether the coolers are adopted for use nationwide.

In Mozambique , malaria is the leading cause of death among children admitted to pediatric(儿科的) services and there has been an increase in cases of malaira in recent years.

Faced with the sudden increase in malaira, Mozambique’s health ministry last year decided to expand the use fo rapid diagnostic tests for the disease that can give a result within minutes.

The only trouble was that diagnostic tests have to be stored at the temperature of 25 degrees Celsius or below and are currently only available in provincial hospitals that have refrigeration facilities.

“The project was faced with the dilemma(进退两难的处境) of how to ensure quality products despite the hot, humid weather and lack of electricity common in remote health facilities,” Edah said.

The solution was to design”evaporative(蒸发的) coolers”—similar in size to a small refrigerator. The coolers have a water tank at the top that is regularly refilled. When water evaporates from the tank it passes aong wicks that stick out of the cooler, keeping the content s of the box cool/

In a message on World Malaria Day, the World Health Organization(WHO) stresed the importance of national malaira programmes.

Nelson Nkini, head of Proserv, a Mozambican non-governmental group supplying mosquito nets treated with anti-malarial substances, said preventing the disease was cheaper than curing it because of the cost of medicines.

60. If the cool boxes are used,_________.

A. medicines can be stored at any degree Celsius

B. malaria will disapear in Mozambique

C. malaria medicines will be used more effectively

D. the temperature will become lower in Mozambique

61. The situation in Mozambique is that__________.

B. the project funded by the US Agency for International Development is fighting against malaria.

A. A project in Mozambique
