Until the invention of the steam engine, humans travelled the earth on foot．The slow travel meant explorers frequently returned with stories about distant lands: some of them wild tales, some honest descriptions.

Barbara Klion, who has retired, knows what that’ like．As a walker who has toured Australia ,Kenya and China on foot ,her trips are the modern edition of an ancient tradition for years．Klion and her husband ,now 75 and 80 years old travelled independently.

Walkers know seeing the world on foot gives them a rare experience．Often travelers are attracted by local people and customs．They also get a  beautiful and lasting impression of the scenery．Walking tours can be done in one’s backyard, but there are several destinations around the world that expose travelers to the best of nature and culture

What to look for ? A famous guide says the essential of a quality walk are great scenery, tolerable weather ,suitable level of difficulty and something like ecology ,history or culture．These may seem like unclear instructions , but the fun of walking tours is that many things are determined by the traveler.

Someone who appreciates hot climates ,wildlife and flat areas could choose a walking tour in Zambia’s South Luangwa National Park．Travelers who don’t mind the cold and enjoy adventure could hike Patagonia, an area of southern Argentina  east of the Andes.

In general ,independent travelers can decide how far to go each day, while guests of a tour agency should expect to walk an average of four to eight miles a day．At the Fordland National Park ,for example, there are several easy-to-difficult hikes, giving travelers many choices.

1．Which of the following does NOT make a quality walking ?

A．Great scenery           B．Tolerable weather

C．A helpful companion    D．Suitable level of difficulty

2．According to the passage, compared with guests of a tour agency, independent travelers______.

C．face more difficulties    D．spend less

3．What is the author’s attitude to walking tours?

A．Indifferent         B．Negative      C．Worried       D．Supportive

4．The best title of the passage might be _____

A．See the World on Foot    B．Barbara Klion ,a great Traveler

He was no scholar, and his classmates teased him．Rather than reading, the kid really preferred running around with an 8mm camera, shooting homemade movies of wrecks of his Lionel train set(which he showed to friends for a small fee)

In his second year of high school he dropped out．But when his parents persuaded him to return, he was mistakenly placed in a learning-disabled class, he lasted one month．Only when his family moved to another town did he land in a more suitable high school where he graduated eventually.

After being denied entrance into a traditional filmmaking school, Steven Spielberg enrolled  in English at California State University at Long Beach .Then in 1965 he recalls ,in one of those casual moments, his life took a complete turn．Visiting Universal Studios ,  he met Chuck Silvers, an executive in the editorial department．Silvers liked the kid who made 8mm films and invited him back sometime to visit.

He appeared the next day．Without a job or a security clearance ,   Spielberg(dressed in a dark suit and tie, carrying his father’s briefcase with nothing inside but “a sandwich and candy bars’’)walked confidently up to the guard at the gate of Universal Studios and gave him a casual wave．The guard waved back．He was in.

“For the entire summer,” Spielberg remembers,” I dressed in my suit and hung out with the directors and writes including Silvers, who knew the kid was not a studio employee, but winked at the deception) I even found an office that was not being used ,and became a squatter．I bought some plastic tiles and put my name in the building directory: Steven  Spielberg, Room 23C〞

It paid off for everyone．Ten years later the 28-year-old Spielberg directed Jaws, which took in $470 million, then the highest-grossing movie of all time．Dozens of films and awards have followed because Steven Spielberg knew what his teachers didn’t---talent is in the eyes of the filmmaker.

“Your honor（法官大人）! Let me say a few words for myself．What they have told you is just not true．I was not trying to kill anyone, and it was hardly possible to try to kill three strong young men at the same time．I didn’t have anything to tell people that night and was quite alone．I didn’t know them and needn’t hate them．I was attacked by them, and I knocked one of them down, it’s true, but Iｗas made to do it, or I might be killed by them．I did this not because I hated the white men as they said．I just had to do so．While I was beaten in the dark street by the three men, a policeman came, caught me and took me here．I know why I was beaten．I have just moved into a house next to these three white men．I have felt that I am not welcome and I have tried to be quiet．I think, as an American, I have the right to choose where to live．I am guilty．What makes me guilty is my color opposite to theirs and I can’t enjoy justice．Yes, I am not guilty．This is all I want to say．Thank you, your honor.”

When you first meet a disabled person, what is your first reaction? Curiosity? Sympathy? If you experience any of these emotions, you are not alone．Chances are that you don’t regularly associate with someone who is disabled．Here are four points to keep in mind if you should happen to meet a disabled person.

Disabled people can lead active lives

With few exceptions, a disability does not prevent someone from working, raising a family, or taking part in social activities．Many sports and recreation programs have been adapted to a person with a disability．Instead of concentrating on the disability, look at the person the same way you would any normal person.

It’s all right to ask questions

Many people are afraid of offending someone by asking about their disability．When meeting them for the first time, it’s natural to be curious about who he or she is, and where they’re from．Asking questions is usually acceptable, as long as you use common sense．Don’t, for example, ask a blind person how he feeds and bathes himself.

Offer help when necessary

You see a woman in a wheelchair having trouble entering a building．It’s usually appropriate to lend a hand if someone is having obvious difficulty, but keep in mind that not everyone will be willing to accept your help．Unless the woman in the wheelchair is in danger, you do your part.

Remember that we all have obstacles to overcome

No matter who we are, each of us has a weakness or challenge to face．Like you, a disabled person would much rather be accepted for who they are, rather than be pitied．Many friends have said to me, “I often forget that you are blind.” To me, that is the top compliment(赞扬).

1．Why are you curious when you first see disabled people?

A．They can’t live normally．           B．You seldom deal with them.

C．You look down upon them．         D．They look quite different.

2．What should you do if you find a disabled person can manage it?

A．You had better lend him or her a hand.

B．You pretend that you haven’t seen him or her.

C．You should encourage him or her to try.

D．You had better let him or her alone.

3．From this passage we learn that ____.

A．the author is blind himself

B．a disabled person needs pitying

C．not everyone has a weakness

D．some people have no difficulty

A few years ago, some tourists pay no attention to environmental protection．They threw waste things about, like plastic bags, fruit skins and waste papers．Sometimes they broke trees, picked up flowers and killed birds; some even made fires in the woods to cook for picnics．What dangerous it was ! Fortunate, great changes have been taken places here．All the tourists have got  used to put their rubbish into dustbins．But they are making great efforts to protect birds and plants as well .They bring our own meals prevent any accidental fire．All these  should be appreciated
