How to Plan a Holiday Trip
Each year, millions of people load up the family car and set out on a holiday trip. Whether it's to grandma's house, a family reunion or simply a holiday getaway, these yearly road trips can often be the source of tiredness and stress. The thought of being trapped in the car with restless children or the possibility of car trouble along the way is enough to make anyone consider staying home.1.
Plan out the route for your car trip. If you're planning on driving to your holiday destination, a little planning can help make your trip easy.2. Remember, it's likely that you won't be the only person on the road during the holidays, and traffic is always a factor. Alternate(可供选择的)routes or shortcuts can help reduce time spent in traffic jams and get you to your destination sooner.
3. Although traveling by air can be quick and convenient, it can also be much more expensive. Start planning your trip early to take advantage of advance purchase discounts. Many airlines become extremely busy during the holidays so booking in advance can also help ensure that you get the flights that you want.
Consider your luggage needs. Before you begin packing, think about how many people will be in your car and how much room they will need to travel comfortably. This could affect the number of bags that you can take along.4. Not only is the possibility of lost luggage a problem, but most airlines now charge extra for checked baggage. For a family of four, carrying a few bags each could result in several hundred dollars worth of baggage fees during your trip.5.
A.As an alternative to driving or flying, check into the possibility of traveling by train.
B. Plan your trip to avoid peak travel times.
C. Luckily, with a little planning, these situations can be avoided.
D. Book airline tickets in advance.
E. Try to pack as lightly as possible.
F. For traveling by air, the number of bags that you take is a much bigger concern.
G. Consider your starting point and desired destination, and investigate several possible routes.

Mexico City is truly one of the most amazing cities in the world with a mixture of both the old and new world. From the moment your plane starts to land in this vast city, you know that your trip will be quite an adventure.
Once in your taxi and the moment you leave the airport, you are amazed at the large amount of slow traffic. The volume of the traffic can be stressful to some.
The "Paseo de la Reforma (改革大道)", running southwest across the city, is one of the major tourist and business areas in Mexico City with many high quality hotels only walking distance from great restaurants and other tourist attractions. The only problem you will have is trying to see all of these sites during your vacation time.
One of the most popular attractions in this area is the National Museum of Anthropology along the northwest part of the street. There are thousands of artifacts on display showing the history of the area and numerous items found from the many Aztec sites in the area. Walking southwest from the museum, you will soon reach the Mexico City Zoo, which is a great place to spend an afternoon.
Across the street from the museum is the Chapultepec Castle, once an important site in the Mexican-American war. It's also a good idea to take the train up the hill to where the castle is located as the hill is steep (陡峭的). It's important to keep in mind that Mexico City is over 7,000 feet above sea level and some feel it difficult to breathe when walking.
You can take a taxi to the Coyoacan market during the evening on a weekend. It's a great place to get some cheap souvenirs to bring back home and to enjoy some traditional Mexican cuisine. However, you must be careful where you eat and that the meat is well cooked.
55.The tourists in Mexico City may not be satisfied with______.
A.the high speed of the traffic B.the heavy traffic of the city

A new report says living in a city makes it harder for people to concentrate(集中) on some tasks. The research found that people who live in rural areas can focus better than people in urban areas. The study is from Goldsmiths College, which is part of the University of London. Head researcher Dr. Karina Linnell and her team made great contributions. They studied how two groups of people did the same "thinking tasks". The team went to a remote(偏远的) part of Namibia, southwest Africa, to study the Himba tribe. Himba people live a very basic life in the desert. They are still doing traditional farming. The team also studied members of the same tribe who had moved to the nearest town. Dr. Linnell said the tribe who lived in the desert did much better on the tests than those in the town. It's really interesting and shocking.
Dr. Linnell said their research may lead to changes in the way companies operate. In the future, workers may move from cities to live and work in the countryside. Linnell said there are too many things around us in the city that stop us from thinking about one thing for a long time. This means we do not work at our best. She asked, "What if, for example, companies realized certain tasks would be better carried out by employees based outside of the urban environment? There their concentration ability is better. "The past century has seen billions of people move from the countryside to big cities. In the future, the trend may not continue. If Dr. Linnell's research is true, this century might see many of those people return to the great outdoors. Let's wait to see what will happen.
1.What did Dr. Linnell and her team conclude from the study on the Himba tribe?
A. Himba people are cleverer than others.
B. Himba people aren't used to the life in city.
C. Himba people focus better in the desert
D. Himba people give up traditional farming.
2.What happened in the past one hundred years?
A. Many people returned to the countryside.
B. Big cities attracted many people to live and work.
C. Many people couldn't concentrate on one task.
D. The way companies operate changed a great deal.
3.The underlined word "outdoors" in the last paragraph probably refers to "______".
A. villages B. cities
C. towns D. countries
4.What is the main purpose of the text ?
A. to remind people to focus better.
B. to advise people to live in countryside.
C. to share a recent study with readers.
D. to show the bright future to readers.
