If you’re going to travel the world this summer, you should make up a travel budget (预算) before you hit the road. This budget will help you know how much

you need to save before leaving home so that you don’t need to call mom and dad, begging for help halfway through your trip. Here are three tips to help you plan your money for the trip you have planned for this summer vacation.

Pick a location that fits your budget

The countries you choose to visit will have the greatest influence on the necessary size of your travel budget. Road tripping across America or backpacking through Europe, while popular, are two of the more expensive choices for a vacation. In contrast, a visit to Asia or South America will be much less expensive than back home.

“Fun” activities are expensive

It seems to be necessary to plan your travel budget around three major costs…

1.Transportation

2.Hotels

3.Food

Paying for these necessities is part of travel, but you might be surprised to learn that they could add up to less than half of the money you’ll spend abroad. If you’re like me, your “dream vacation” includes more than sitting in your hotel bed.

When I was living in Chiang Mai, Thailand, I owned a small apartment and ate delicious Asian noodles 3 times per day. With the room at $5 per night and meals for $1, I spent about $8 per day.

One of the coolest things to do in Chiang Mai is to go on a zip line adventure. It cost me $60 to get into the trees, which is about what I paid to live for 1 week in

Thailand. If you want to go on an excursion (远足) every day, you’ll easily spend

five times as much on “fun” as you do on necessities. This is true all over the world, so make sure you plan excursions into your travel budget ahead of time.

● Plan for the unexpected

You won’t always be prepared for everything that comes your way while traveling. You need at least $1,000 to help you deal with the unexpected.

First, there’s the good kind of unexpected…

When I was traveling through France on my summer vacation three years ago,

I had no idea that the annual bull running festival (奔牛节) was happening in Spain. A traveler who had just arrived from Spain told me about the festival and because I had some extra money I was able to change my plans and attend!

There’s also the bad kind of unexpected…

When I entered Thailand, I forgot my visa expiration date (签证截止日期). I

ended up overstaying by nearly 1 month! When I crossed the border (边境), I was politely told I needed to pay the Thai government nearly $400!

Giving yourself some extra money is very important to your safety and the enjoyment of your trip.

1.What should you do if you’re going to travel the world?

2.How much did the writer spend getting into the trees in Thailand?

3.What does the writer think of going on an excursion?

4.Why could the writer attend the annual bull running festival?

5.What’s the passage mainly about?

1.We should make up a travel budget before we hit the road. 2.$60. 3.It costs much./Expensive./ You’ll easily spend five times as much on “fun” as you do on necessities. 4.Because he had some...

It was a cold night in Washington, D.C., and I was heading back to the hotel when a man came to me. He asked if I would give him some money so he could get something to eat. I’d read the signs: “Don’t give money to panhandlers (乞丐）.” So I shook my head and kept walking.

I wasn’t prepared for a reply, but he said, “I really am homeless and I really am hungry! You can come with me and watch me eat!” But I kept on walking.

I couldn’t forget what happened to me that day for the rest of the week. I had money in my

pocket and it wouldn’t have killed me to hand over a dollar or two even if he had been lying. On a very cold night, no less, I thought the worst of a fellow human being. Flying back to Anchorage, I still couldn’t help thinking of him.

I was the writer of a weekly garden column (专栏）at The Anchorage Daily News. One day, out of the blue, I came up with an idea. Bean’s Cafe, the soup kitchen in Anchorage, feeds

hundreds of hungry people every day. Why not try to get all my readers to plant one row in their

gardens for Bean’s? Plant a row and take it down to Bean’s. Clean and simple.

We didn’t keep records back then, but the idea began to take off. People would call me when they took something in. Those who only grew flowers gave them away. Food for the spirit.

In 1995 , the Garden Writers Association of America ( GWAA) held their meeting in Anchorage and alter learning of Anchorage’s program, Plant a Row for Bean’s became Plant a Row for the Hungry. The idea was to have every member of the Garden Writers Association of America write or talk about planting a row for the hungry.

As more and more people started working with the program, many companies gave free seed to customers and had the logo (商标）seen in public.

Garden editor Joan Jackson raised more than 30,000 pounds of fruits and vegetables her first year, and showed the public how the program could really work. Texas fruit farms gave away food to their local food bank alter hearing about Plant a Row. Today the program continues to grow.

I am shocked that millions of Americans are threatened by hunger. If every gardener in

America - and we’re seventy million strong - plants one row for the hungry, we can make a difference in the number of neighbors who don’t have enough to eat. Maybe then I will stop feeling guilty (愧 疚) about walking past a hungry man I could have helped.

1.Did the writer give money to the hungry man?

2.How did the writer feel alter flying back to Anchorage?

3.What did the writer try to get his readers to do?

4.What did the GWAA do for the “Plant a Row” program?

5.What is the purpose of the program?

1.No, he didn't. 2.He felt guilty. 3.He got his readers to plant a row in gardens for Bean,s. 4.It had every member write or talk about planting a row lor the hungry. 5.The purpose is to c...
