Travel sets us thinking and makes us in discussions of major world problems. Traveling can improve our thinking skills. That’s WHY we travel. What follows is HOW we travel.
CHEAP TRAVEL
The less you spend, the closer you come to the reason you came.
We’re savers by choice when traveling, although we could afford to stay in middle-priced hotels and eat in their restaurants if we cut back on the length of our trips. By spending less we can travel longer and travel better. We meet more locals by using buses rather than taxis and by staying in small family-run hotels and eating in local-style cafes. Spending too much money makes you away from the foreign experience you came to have.
TRAVELERS — NOT TOURISTS
What’s the difference? Travelers are more likely to get deeper into the life of a country than tourists. The way to do this is to do lots of pre-trip reading about the countries we will visit, and try to learn a few words of local languages.
Independent travel is usually far less expensive than packaged tours. We don’t use travel agents because we don’t stay in hotels that charge high, and we can get cheaper tickets on the Internet. We like figuring out where to eat and working out how to get around. This puts us into direct contact with the local people. Independent travel isn’t as comfortable or convenient, but it’s the most meaningful way to travel.
MOVING AROUND
Despite its discomforts, we take public transportation whenever possible. Traveling in a car is easier, but also scarier. In much of the world roads are poor and driving behaviors are not fixed. Luckily, even the less developed countries often have good public transportation systems, riding buses and trains brings us into close contact with the local people.
CARRYING STUFF(东西)
Backpacks work better for long-term travel than the wheeled luggage(轮式行李箱) most middle-aged travelers use. Using luggage is fine with a car, but backpacks are easier for bus and train travel. Best of all, wearing backpacks bridge the gap between age groups — allowing gray-haired travelers like us to make friends with younger travelers.

There was a table set out under a tree in front of the house，and the March Hare and the Hatter were having tea at it．A Dormouse was sitting between them，fast asleep，and the other two were resting their arms on it，and talking over its head．"Very uncomfortable for the Dormouse，"thought Alice；"only，as it's asleep，I believe it doesn't mind．"
The table was a large one，but the three were all crowded together at one corner of it．"No room ! No room !" they cried out when they saw Alice coming．"There's plenty of room !"said Alice angrily，and she sat down in a large armchair at one end of the table．
"Have some wine，"the March Hare said in an encouraging tone．
Alice looked all round the table，but there was nothing on it but tea．"I don't see any wine，"she said．
"There isn't any，"said the March Hare．
"Then it was impolite of you not to offer it，"said Alice angrily．
"It wasn't very civil of you to take your seat without invitation，"said the March Hare．
"I didn't know it was your table，"said Alice；"it's laid for a great many more than three．"
"Your hair wants cutting，"said the Hatter．He had been watching Alice for some time．
"You should learn not to give your personal ideas，"Alice said seriously；"it's very rude．"
The Hatter opened his eyes very wide on hearing this；but all he said was，"Why is a raven（乌鸦）like a writing-desk？"
"Come，we shall have some fun now !"said Alice．"I'm glad they've begun asking riddles（谜语）．I believe I can guess that，"she said loudly．
"Do you mean that you think you can find out the answer to it？"said the March Hare．
"Exactly so，"said Alice．
"Then you should say what you mean，"the March Hare went on．
"I do，"Alice quickly replied；"at least-at least I mean what I say-that's the same thing，you know．"
…
Finally，they all began to laugh at Alice．

Smog is a big problem in many Chinese cities. But it seems that besides wearing a mask, few of us know what has caused the smog and what to do to beat it. Chai Jing, a former news interviewer with CCTV, discussed the questions in her documentary Under the Dome.
The 103-minute film was on websites on Feb 28. In the film, Chai visits polluted places and talks to officials and scientists. She thinks that burning too much coal and oil are the main causes of PM2.5 and smog.
To solve the problem, Chai suggests that we should clean our coal and oil or replace them with cleaner energy such as natural gas.
In her film, Chai also emphasizes(强调) that everyone can do something to help control smog too. For example, we can live a greener life by using more public transport. Or if we see things that could harm the environment, we can try to stop it. In the film, when she sees a restaurant cooking without any suitable filter facilities (过滤设备), she calls the hotline 12369. The restaurant installed the filter a week later.
Chen Jining, the new minister of environmental protection, praised Chai. “This film encourages ordinary people to take notice of the environment. This is what we need in the future.”

3.What can we tell from the story?
A.Only factories produce heavy smog.
B.Only the government can control smog.
C.Smog can’t be controlled by ordinary people.
D.Living a green life can help reduce smog.
4.What’s Chen Jining’s attitude towards Chai’s film?
A.He didn’t watch it. B.He thought highly of it.
