Travel and Life[1]Millions of people all over the world spend their holidays travelling．They travel to see other countries and continents, modern cities and the ruins of ancient towns; they travel to enjoy picturesque(独特的)places, or just for a change of scene．It’s always interesting to discover new things, different ways of life, to meet different people, to try different food and to listen to different musical rhythms(节奏)．
[2] Those who live in the country like to go to a big city and spend their time visiting museums and art galleries, looking at shopwindows and dining at exotic(异国情调的)restaurants．City-dwellers usually like a quiet holiday by the sea or in the mountains, with nothing to do but walk, bathe and laze in the sun．
[3] Most travellers and holiday-makers take cameras with them and take pictures of everything that interests them－the sights of a city, old churches and castles, the views of mountains, lakes, valleys, plains, waterfalls, forests, different kinds of trees, flowers and plants, animals and birds．Later, perhaps years later, they will be reminded by the photos of the happy time they have had．
[4] People travel by train, by plane, by boat and by car．All means of travel have their advantages and disadvantages．And people choose one according to their plans and destinations．
[5] If we are fond of travelling, we see and learn a lot of things that we can never see or learn at home, though we may read about them in books and newspapers, and see the pictures of them on TV．The best way to study geography is to travel, and the best way to get to know and understand people is to meet them in their own homes．
Match the left column with the right column according to the main idea of every paragraph：
Para 1
A．Taking pictures can make you remember the happy time you have had．
Para 2
B．The travels for various people
Para 3
C．The means of traveling
Para 4
D．The reasons of traveling
Para 5
E．The value of traveling
The route from north to south is a general picture of Norwegian nature: thundering waterfalls, rushing mountain streams and roads that run along glaciers, after having gone through thick pine forests and coastal lakes and fiords(峡湾)．
The inner part of the country is very rugged and almost one third of it is covered with trees. Despite its northern latitude, the Norwegian weather is in fact maritime(海洋性的) and damp, because it is affected by the mitigating (调节)action of the warm Gulf Stream, coming from the Gulf of Mexico, which flows up the coast preventing the formation of sea ice.
Bergen, a port lying in the southeast of the country, is crowded with brightly colored houses, which belonged to German traders of the powerful Hanseatic League. Despite several fires, the area keeps the atmosphere of the “old port” and Commercial City from the Middle Ages. UNESCO (联合国教科文组织) recently declared it a World Heritage Site and included it in the list of monuments that are to be preserved.
There is a large park in the center of Bergen which is taken up almost completely by a large lake, around which, lie some of the main museums in the city.
The Hakonshallen, the most beautiful monument in the city, lies within the walls of Bergen's fortress. The great 13th century Gothic hall was built for the parties and the receptions in the days of the city's control over trade in the North Sea.
You get the best view over Bergen, the fiords and the surrounding pine－covered mountains from the belvedere(观景台). It's easy to admire Norwegians for their unique(独特的) way of respecting the nature!
From north to south, from Lapland to Oslo and Bergen, Norwegian people has proved, with time, that human beings, as the most advanced yet most vulnerable (脆弱的) in the great family of nature, can live in harmony (和谐) with all its other members.
