The fast speed and convenience of modern travel makes the faraway countries be reached quickly and easily now. Even though they now seem closer, they may still be different from your home country. So it is important to change your behavior so that you can get on well with local people. Followings are some basic rules that will make communication easier and make your trip more enjoyable.

First, never raise your voice in order to make yourself understood. If you don't know the word for something in the local language, try to draw a picture or point to the thing. Before you travel, you can also learn some basic words or phrases of the local language, such as words for “please”“thank you”and “may I”， as well as basic greetings(问候)．

Second, learn the culture of the country you plan to visit and read about the rules related to clothing. You can bring some clothes such as shirts or T­shirts that cover your shoulders, and long trousers.

Avoid topics that you think may be sensitive(敏感的). If a topic is sensitive in your own culture, it will likely be the same in other cultures. Feel free to show interest in the history and customs of the place that you are visiting, but don't ask questions about why things are done in a certain way, because you may make the local people unhappy.

Keep in mind that in many cultures, showing affection(情感) in public isn't allowed. Kissing on the street or in public should be avoided. If you are unsure of how to behave, watch the local people and copy them.

Finally, if you wish to take a gift, do some research. The idea of the perfect gift is different greatly from country to country, and one of the easiest ways to make someone angry is to give a wrong gift.

What kind of vehicle(车辆) will you choose when traveling between provinces? Many people may like traveling by train because it's safer and cheaper. Now the high­speed railways have connected eastern and western China as well as the south and the north.

A new high­speed railway opened on Sept. 10th, 2016. It connects Zhengzhou in Henan Province with Xuzhou in Jiangsu Province. With this railway, China's high­speed railways are over 20, 000 kilometers long. It_is_the_world's_longest_and_makes_up_60_percent_of_the_world's_total_high­speed_railway_lines._

自行车梦想之旅

Many people dream of going on a great travel adventure(冒险). Most of us keep dreaming; others make it happen.

Gregg Beakney's dream was to travel the Americas from top to bottom. He got the idea after he finished a 1，600­kilometer bike ride. Gregg's friend, Brooks Allen, was also a cyclist(骑自行车的人). The two friends talked and decided their goal: they would travel from Alaska to Argentina(阿根廷) by bike. To pay for the journey, Gregg and Brooks worked and saved money for years. Once they were on the road, they often camped outdoors or stayed in hostels(招待所). In many places, along their route, local people opened their homes to the two friends and gave them food.

During their trip, Gregg and Brooks cycled through deserts, rainforests and mountains. They visited modern cities and explored ancient ruins such as Tikal in Guatemala(危地马拉).

In May 2007, they traveled twelve countries in two years, and over 30，500 km (19，000 miles) later, Gregg finally reached Ushuaia, Argentina, at the top of South America.
