The fact is some people who travel for pleasure get no pleasure from it at all. Others, who travel because they must travel, have a lot of fun doing it. What makes one trip more enjoyable than another?
Any trip can be enjoyable if it is well planned. Every minute that you spend planning your trip may save ten minutes of trouble during your trip. It may also add an hour of pleasure!
Many resorts and cities around the world are popular during some months of the year and less popular during other months. Find out if the places you are visiting have an "in" season and an "off" season. This may help you decide when you want to go.
There are some very good reasons to travel during the off-season. Usually everything is much cheaper. It is also less crowded, of course. If you don't have a lot of money or if you don't like crowds of tourists go in the off-season.
Some places are not as exciting during the off-season. The weather may be too cold or too hot. The beaches may be closed. Hotels and restaurants may be shut. Be sure to find out before you go.
There was a time when a person could decide to leave the country on Monday and get on a boat on Tuesday. Now everyone must give a passport to go abroad. It is not hard to get a passport, but you should ask for one a few months before you begin your journey. To get one, you must have your birth certificate or another legal document to prove that you are a citizen. You will probably also need to bring a few photographs of yourself and some money. For more information call or write the passport office.
Sometimes you need a visa to visit a country. If a visa is necessary you can ask for one at the country's embassy. Sometimes getting a visa takes many months, so it is very important to plan early. The same is true of health certificates. For this information it is a good idea to call or write the embassies. You may also get a lot of other useful information from them.

B.When people take a vacation, they always have fun.
C.Not all people on holiday get pleasure from it.

What's more, the great part of the growth—9 of every 10—added to the earth's population—will be in the poor and undeveloped countries. These are the nations where providing enough food for billions of people already is proving to be a headaching problem.
By the year 2000, today's "have not" nations will have a total population of 5 billion people, nearly four-fifths of the world's population.
Food isn't the only problem that such a population explosion presents. The more people there are and the worse their living conditions, the greater grow the possibility of all kinds of social problems.
In 1830, world population reached 1 billion. It took only 100 more years to add another billion to world population, just 30 more to add a third billion. And it took just 15 more years to reach the 4 billion mark in 1975.
Actually, the world's birth rate is falling. But so is death rate, as medical advances have made it possible for man to live longer than before. Such advances have also reduced baby death rate. Unless population growth is reduced, the world population may reach 12 billion in a century. Is the earth capable of providing a good life for so large a population?
A population explosion will lead to______.
A.a lot of social problems
B.medical advances
C.a decrease in food production
D.a worse life in every country

To obtain these necessities on a regular basis, a person must have a reliable income. But we have other needs which we would probably also describe as basic, for example, health and education facilities and security.
All of these we may define as our needs. But most of us would be far from satisfied if we had nothing more than these provided for us. We all enjoy having extra income to spend on things such as books, sports, or hobbies. Sometimes we save some of this extra income to provide for future expenditure of this type on holidays, for example. So in addition to our basic needs, we must add our wants. Our standard of living is the degree to which these needs and wants are satisfied.
Why are we far from satisfied with our basic needs?
A.Because we should save extra money for future expenditure.
B.Because we have other wants in addition to our basic needs.
C.Because we all enjoy reading books.

完成下列各题 D
Clay is important because it is used to make containers of all kinds.Workers add water to soften clay.This makes it.easier to form. into shapes by machine.Then it is heated to a very high temperature.The result is a container that.will last for many years. In many countries,clay was formed from volcanoes(火山>.This.kind of clay usually contains many minerals(矿物质).So the fires to make containers from volcanic clay must be hotter that those used for non—volcanic clay.The fires may be as hot,as 1400℃.The high temperature should not be reached too fast SO that the containers can be dried slowly.You can add some materials to clay to gain desired results.For example,you can add sand to prevent tiny breaks or lines from forming on the surface of the final product.But you should not use sand from the coasts of oceans.Instead,you should use sand from rivers or other areas. Clay often exists in fields covered with some water.The clay will be found about one meter below the ground..River banks often also have clay about one meter or less under the surface.Clay is very shiny when it is wet.You can also take some of the material and add enough water to it.Then press it in your.hands until it is about the size of an egg.It is probably clay if it holds together when you stop pressing. What’s the difference between volcanic clay and non-volcanic day?
A.Volcanic clay call be found in very few countries.
B.Non-volcanic clay can be dried more quickly.
C.Non-volcanic clay makes better containers.
D.Volcanic e]ay usually has more minerals.
