In words ,I made a lot of friends that way .But here everybody can understand me.

The Thames River runs right through the center of the city .Someone once called the Thames “liquid history”.It is a very good name. Dozens of armies have crossed it over the past few thousand years .One of the first was the army of Julius Caesar two thousand years ago .And most recentlyMr .and Mrs. Gill.
So far I have only had time to visit one neighborhood .It is called Bloomsbury .In fact there is a group of writers known as the Bloomsbury Group. It got its name because so many of them lived there. Virginia Woolf was one of them .I know how much you like her novels.

   It’s great fun to explore new places, and it may be like an adventure, even when you know you’re not the first to have been there. But to make sure not to get lost or waste time going round in circles, the following tips may be helpful.

• Do the map reading if you’re being driven somewhere. It’ll be easier if you keep the map following the direction you’re traveling in. Keep looking ahead so that you can give the driver lots of warning before having to make a turn or you’ll have to move to the back seat.

• Get a group of friends together and go exploring. You’ll need a good map, a compass, a raincoat, a cell phone to call for help in case you get lost, and a bit of cash for emergencies. Tell someone where you’re going before you set out and let him know what time you expect to be back. The purpose of the activity is in not getting lost, not in seeing how fast you can go, so always stick together, waiting for slower friends to catch up.

• See if your school or a club organizes orienteering (越野识途比赛), in which you need a map and a compass to find your way. This can be done as a sport, with teams trying to find the way from A to B (and B to C, etc.) in the fastest time, or simply as a spare-time activity. It enables you to be familiar with the use of maps and compasses and gain some practical skills. In some way, it’s not only good fun, but also a great way to keep fit.

No matter which way you choose, it’s not only good fun, but a great way to keep fit.

【小题1】Sitting beside the driver, you should ________.
A.direct the driver when necessary
B.look ahead to see where there’s a gas station
C.move to the back seat if feeling uncomfortable
D.keep looking at the map to find another place to go to
【小题2】Why do you need to wait for the slower friends in exploration?
A.To show them how fast you can go.
B.To avoid yourself or your friends getting lost.
C.To share the fun with your friends in exploration.
D.To tell them fiat’s going on with the group members.
【小题3】Orienteering can ________.
A.make people work fastB.help people stay healthy
C.help people organize other activitiesD.make people get prepared for sports
【小题4】The text mainly talks about ________.
A.the fun of explorationB.what to bring for exploration
C.the way to use a map in explorationD.how to prevent people getting lost in exploration

   I have just arrived in a country where I don't know the language, where I have no family roots and where I find myself all alone. It may sound frightening. But let me tell you a little secret: it is not.

When you travel abroad by yourself for whatever reason-an exchange program, an internship(实习期的工作), volunteering, or simply as a tourist-a new and fascinating world will open up for you, a world you would never be able to see if you just stayed at home.

People from a different country are not aliens. They are simply people like you who happened to be born in another place. They have pretty much the same wishes and worries as people from your own country.

I know that you see a lot of news on TV saying bad things people do all the time. Your family may have spent a great deal of time telling you not to trust strangers. However, when you travel alone you will realize that people are just as good as you. Everyone is just leading their lives, working, studying and having a good time with their friends. Most people will be happy to help you and get to know you.

Maybe in the past when you would need months to travel from one place to another, traveling could be expensive. Nowadays, the world is just so connected that it is perfectly possible to find cheap flights, accommodation for all budgets and cheap and quality food.

You will get lost, but it's fine! I can't even count how many times I didn't know where I was going or how to find the right direction. Everything looks great on Google maps, but sometimes your phone will die or your data will end. Just calm down. Go to a store or stop someone in the street and ask! Or simply walk around and be curious.

【小题1】Why does the author write about his own experience in Paragraph 1?
A.To encourage people to travel.
B.To tell the benefits of traveling.
C.To show it is hard to travel alone.
D.To introduce the topic of the passage.
【小题2】According to Paragraph 2, we can learn ________.
A.the reasons why the author goes abroad
B.traveling abroad can broaden our horizons
C.most people go abroad simply for volunteering
D.traveling abroad is not better than staying at home
【小题3】Which of the following would the author agree with?
A.Nowadays we can go anywhere only by Google maps.
B.There's no need to worry too much about traveling alone.
C.Now traveling is expensive because of going farther.
D.It is dangerous to trust strangers when traveling alone.

   The editor of the new Cool Camping Britain guide chooses some of his favorite new finds in England, Wales and Scotland.

Cleadale, Isle of Eigg, Inner Hebrides

Is this Britain’s most beautiful campsite? From the grassy point looking seaward to the mountains, it’s not hard for campers to see how the island inspired The Lord of the Rings author’s fantasy landscapes. The campsite itself is as wild and wonderful as its setting.

Open April — September, from £5 per tent per night.

Swattesfield, Thornham Magna, Suffolk

Deep in the wilds of north Suffolk, this seven-acre campsite has only been open for a few years, with two fields separated by a lake and surrounded by woodland. The position is perfect. It’s a great place to do nothing but get into nature. You can put up your tent in the bottom field or the woodland beyond.

Open Easter —October, from £10 per tent per night.

Pleasant Streams Farm, near St Austell, Cornwall

This site, by a lake, is all about simple pleasures. Located in the former mining village, it has a summerhouse(凉亭)with books and games for a rainy day. There are many animals including pigs, hens, goats and ducks on the farm and a pub just a 10- minute stroll away. There’s very little to do here, no bells and no whistles. Campfires are encouraged.

Open Easter — September, from £10 per tent per night.

Troytown Campsite, St Agnes, Isles of Sciily

Its only campsite, Troytown, couldn’t be in a more remote position. Isolation is its greatest advantage — so bring plenty of books to read and don’t expect a phone signal. But at least one of life’s necessities is available. Lying on the hillside overlooking the bay and near the island of the Gugh, it might just win the prize for best beer garden view in England.

Open March-- October, from £7. 50 per tent per night,

Safaris operate twice a day, starting at dawn until late morning, and mid-afternoon until sunset. The best time to visit the park is early in the morning or after 4 p. m. to spot the animals. The park is closed from July 1 to September 30 because of the monsoon season (季风季节).

Bandhavgarh Zones
