Section E (10 marks)

Directions: Read the following passage. Fill in the numbered blanks by using the information from the passage. Write NO MORE THAN THREE WORDS for each answer.

Traveling can be a lot of fun but it requires you to plan for a trip so that you will be able to enjoy every second of it. To achieve this, first of all you need to do research about local laws and customs before you set off. So you can stay away from something that is considered rude or impolite, even if you do not know you are doing it. Whenever you travel, drive as carefully as you can and always respect the rules of the place that you are in.

Be careful of people who tell you that they are police officers or government officials when you are traveling in a strange city. Show officials your passport, but don’t give it to them. If an officer or official asks you to come to their office, do it on foot. Never get in a car with a local person you don’t know.

Traveling can be used as a way of educating your family. It is a great way to show other cultures to children. Time spent abroad helps you understand and appreciate different cultures. What’s more, it encourages an acceptance and tolerance (忍受) of ways of life that are different from your own.

Always keep your necessary items close to you when traveling. For example, if you have a purse with you, you should make sure that it is safely under your arm. Don’t carry a bag with easy access for any of the thieves. Keep these things in mind when you choose a bag for your trip.

You’ll have a lot of neighbors when you check into a hotel. During your hotel stay, make sure that you respect other guests by leaving and entering your room quietly and keeping conversations at a reasonable level. Even if it’s the middle of the day, there may be someone catching a nap. Silence is not required, but try to keep the volume down.

Get enough exercise before a long trip. Longer flights can be hard on your body. Your muscles can easily cramp (痉挛) from keeping the same position for a long period. Having a quick workout or, at the very least, stretching (伸展) before a flight can reduce or get rid of leg cramps.

Hope that these tips can help your next trip go smoothly and easily!

From 17 to 23 June 2013 it’s Bike to School Week! This special week has been held since 2004 for the purpose of encouraging children to travel to school on their bikes. Did you know that as little as 15 minutes of activity a day can cut in half a child’s risk of becoming obese (肥胖的)?

Not only will cycling start a new exercise routine (惯例), it will also reduce busy traffic on the school roads. Don’t forget how much it will help the environment! So how can you get involved? Start off by reading the Pedal Pack — it’s full of ideas to help you plan your own event. The bike breakfast is a great idea because pupils will need fuel for their bodies in the mornings — both for the school day and the bike journey!

And remember to make other kids feel involved throughout the planning stage and in the event itself. Ask them to put up posters before the event and then reward them with certificates later on!

There are lots of benefits (益处) to be gained by cycling to school — But before you start there are some important tips to consider. Firstly, make sure that your bike is in good working order; check the tires, lights etc before you start a week of cycling to school. It’s also important to plan your route(路线) — so that you know exactly where you are going — this way you can familiarize yourself with the roads and other things that you need to know along the way.　 And always make sure that someone knows the route you will be taking.

As for the teachers? Well, you’re just as much expected to be cycling to school too! So what are you waiting for?
