A

Modern life is impossible without travelling. The fastest way of travelling is by plane. With a modern airline

you can travel in one day to places which it took a month or more to get to hundred years ago.

Travelling by train is slower than by plane, but it has its advantages. You can see the country you are

travelling through. Modern trains have comfortable seats and dining-cars. They make even the longest journey

enjoyable.

Some people prefer to travel by sea when possible. There are large liners and river boats. You can visit many

other countries and different parts of your country on them. Ships are not so fast as trains or planes, but travelling

by sea is a very pleasant way to spend a holiday.

Many people like to travel by car. You can make your own timetable. You can travel three or four hundred

miles or only fifty or one hundred miles a day, just as you like. You can stop wherever you wish where there is

something interesting to see, at good restaurant where you can enjoy a good meal, or at a hotel to spend the night.

That is why travelling by car is popular for pleasure trips, while people usually take a train or plane when they are

travelling on business.

How many ways of travelling are mentioned in the passage?

A. Four B. Three C. Two D. Six

B

People who like travelling have their reasons. They believe that travelling can help them expand their field of

view, especially in the geographical and historical sense. They also think that touring will give them more chances

to enjoy different kinds of food and experience new things that would never be brought by other activities. But

those who dislike travelling also have some reasons.

Travelling, in my opinion, does more good than harm. Most importantly, it broadens (

使扩大

) our mind. We

can get in touch with other civilizations (

文明

), cultures, customs and ideas.

Through history, most people travelled because of necessity (

必要性

)—not for pleasure. People travelled just

in order to remain alive. They searched for food to eat or places to live in. They sometimes ran away from

enemies. This is not to say that no one ever travelled just for the fun of it. In ancient times, for example, rich

Romans travelled all the way to Greece to take part in the Olympic Games, and festivals. Of course, some people

decided to travel just out of curiosity (

好奇心

). They wanted to find out what it looked like beyond the horizon

(

地平线

). Also business travel has been going on for centuries. Traders could not only make money but also learn

to speak several languages and be introduced to different cultures.

So, travelling does enrich our mind and draw new ideas to us. There is no doubt that we can get much from

it.

A Hobby is a regular activity that is done for enjoyment, typically during one's leisure

（闲暇的）

time. By

continually taking part in a particular hobby, one can acquire practical skill and knowledge in that area. Is travel a

good hobby? Travel, in the youngest sort, is a part of education and, in the elder, a part of experience. Some may

think otherwise. To them, visiting churches, castles, libraries, etc. is an absolute wastage of time. They may

further say that one can read the account of these or see the films of the important places of the world. They forget

that touch of actuality gives a different type of sensation and satisfaction.

Travelling may be an expensive hobby but it makes up for the financial loss. If a traveller has interest in life

and its manifestations

（表现）

, one can find much to keep oneself absorbed and happy. A student of any stream

can definitely find something of his own interest and studies. One can definitely find everything that satisfies his

cravings for knowledge and feelings.

As a hobby, travelling keeps us busy during leisure time; it is the best method to make use of time. Till a

person breaks from dull routine, physically and mentally, one cannot find satisfaction. Travelling helps us to

achieve this break. At a new place, one is curious to know and eager to gather all the unknown information about

the place which he has neither read nor heard before and he gets thrills and surprises which keep the interest and

enthusiasm alive and encourage us to keep our journey on.
