What is the best book for traveling? Of course it’s book with the tourist destination you’re traveling to as the background! Books will draw you closer to the tourist destination.
Consider picking up The Great Gatsby if you’re going to The Hamptons in New York.
Although the “West Egg” and “East Egg” in the classic novel more greatly resemble the Great-Neck and Port-Washington peninsulas(半岛)on Long Island, F. Scott Fitzgerald is believed to have been inspired by The Hamptons when creating this book.
Set in the Jazz Age, the book’s decadence(颓废), hot summers, and longing for past lovers make it a great companion for pool hopping, charcuterie(熟食)eating, and luxury shopping in The Hamptons.
As you’re traveling around Amsterdam, read The Fault in Our Stars («星运里的错»).
Previously adapted(改编)into a film in 2014, John Green’s story of unfortunate teenagers famously includes a trip to Amsterdam. The Anne Frank House and The Rijksmuseum are two of many major destinations mentioned in the book.
Bring One Hundred Years of Solitude («百年孤独» ) to read in South America.
A significant work of literature, Gabriel Garcia Marquez’s classic follows generations of the Buendia family as they live in their South-American town. Garcia Marquez’s magical realism paired with his rich descriptions make the book a perfect read for visiting some of the breathtaking sights of South America.
If you’re visiting New York City, enter the mind of Holden Cau lfield.
The Catcher in the Rye («麦田里的守望者») is a classic tale of a lost teenager’s unplanned trip to New York City. In the JD-Salinger novel, Holden visits a nightclub in the East Village, goes ice skating in Rockefeller Center, and takes his sister to the Central Park Zoo.

For this year’s Children’s Day on June 1, Deng Mo and his wife drove their son to the city of Suzhou, about 100 kilometers from Shanghai, where the family lives. Many parents similarly spent the weekend with their children, according to major online travel agency Ctrip(携程). Over 70 percent of parents traveling with children chose short-distance tours, and more than 80 percent took high-speed railways or drove.
Family-friendly tours account for up to 60 percent of domestic and overseas travel, a China Tourism Academy survey says. More than 80 percent of respondents believe traveling with children can bring joy to the whole family, and 96 percent express interest in such tours.
Deng has previously taken his son to Japan and Thailand. “It wasn’t easy to travel with a 3-year-old,” Deng said. “He had a lot of luggage─more than we did.” During their vacation in Japan, for example, his son fell sick, and the parents had to stay in the hotel for a whole day. Still, Deng hopes such tours will broaden his boy’s horizons.
Many parents regard such trips as educational. Shanghai-based online travel agency Lvmama (驴妈妈旅游网) reports that bookings for tours involving museums increased by 45 percent year-on-year (与去年同期数字相比) in the first four months of 2019.
Shanghai resident Ji Hongjuan enjoys taking her 12-year-old daughter, Wen Lan, to China’s historical sites and museums. In the past few years, they have visited such places as the Palace Museum, the Shanxi History Museum and the Nanjing Museum. “I usually ask my daughter to be my guide,” Ji said. “She searches for information about where we will visit and takes me there, which I think is a great way to cultivate her curiosity.”
China Tourism Academy head Dai Bin says the market has great potential. “Our surveys show many parents complain about destinations being too crowded during public holidays,” he said. “Over 40 percent say they’re looking for more quality travel products.”
56.What did Deng Mo do o n Children’s Day this year?
A. He and his wife took their son to Shanghai for a short-distance tour.
B. He and his wife took high-speed railway to Suzhou for traveling.
C. He and his wife drove their son to Suzhou for traveling.
D. He and his wife took their son to Japan and Thailand.
57.What does the author intend to tell us in Paragraph 2?
A. Domestic travel accounts for a much larger proportion than overseas travel.
B. Family-friendly tours are becoming more and more popular in China.
C. Compared with domestic travel, more parents prefer traveling abroad.
D. Children prefer overseas travel to domestic travel.
58.The example of Ji’ s traveling experience shows that ________.
A. parents normally dislike making travel plans with their children
B. parents prefer their children to travel abroad as much as possible
C. parents want their children to be their guide while traveling abroad
D. parents regard family-friendly tours as educational
59.Wh at does the underlined word “cultivate” in Paragraph 5 probably mean?
A. Develop.
B. Decline.
C. Defeat.
D. Deserve.
60.What does Dai Bin think of the family-friendly traveling market?
A. The overall situation is worsening and depressing.
B. It is promising but needs to be improved.
C. There is no room for further improvement.
D. It is full of uncertainty and with a high probability of failure.
C
Our preference for this or that kind of music is obviously a subjective (主观的、个人的) matter. It can also be highly unstable (不稳定的) , changing not only during a lifetime, but even on a scale of months, or even days. Yet despite such variety, there are three factors that I think are the main contributors (因素).
The first is how we were brought up, or the musical background which surrounded us in our formative years(性格形成时期). The kinds of music that we were exposed to when we were small helped to create very specific mental patterns.
However, even the most stable musical pattern can be changed by socio-cultural concerns, and these form the second contribution to our musical preferences. Music, probably from the very beginning of the existence of modern humans, has been used to bring people together in various kinds of activities, because it is really efficient at regulating(调节) the bodily and emotional responses of large groups of participants. Whether you’re into heavy metal, or hip hop, or jazz, your preferences are guided in part by your desire to be a member of some social circle.
These two factors seem to suggest that musical preferences are formed unconsciously, without the listener being aware of it, but this is obviously not the case. Nothing is likely to be more
important than our own subjective feeling at the time of listening. Especially today, with nearly unlimited access to all styles of music, we use music as a tool for regulating our emotions and moods. This is why when you want to study you might reach for something simple, without words. Or when you’re trying to relax before bed you’ll probably listen to something calming. They point to the fantastic power of music in our lives.
61.In writing Paragraph 1, the author aims to ________.
A. present some examples
B. make a comparison
C. list a few reasons
D. lead in the topic
62.According to Paragraph 1, people’s preferences for music are _______.
A. interesting and mysterious
B. personal and changeable
C. unique and stable
D. unconscious and typical
63.What is the function of music in a group activity?
A. It can make people familiar with a certain culture.
B. It can make people calm down.
C. It can bring people together.
D. It can create specific mental patterns.
64.What could be inferred from Paragraph 4？
A. While reading, people are more likely to prefer rap music.
B. People’s preference s for music are totally decided by some uncontrolled factors.
C. Subjective feeling plays an important role in people’s musical preference s.
D. Musical preferences are formed unconsciously.
65.What could be the best title for the passage?
A. What decides people’s taste in music.
B. Why so many people love music.
C. How music influences people’s emotions and moods.
D. Why socio-cultural concerns influence people’s musical preferences.

Two little girls are rallying thousands of people to sign a petition(请愿书) demanding that Burger King and McDonald’s stop giving away free plastic toys.
With the help of their mother, nine-year-old Ella and seven-year-old Caitlin started an online petition in order to persuade the fast food giants to do away with the wasteful toys that come with Happy Meals and Junior Meals.

“It makes us very sad to see how plastic harms wildlife and pollutes the ocean, and we want to change this,” reads the petition. “Tha t’s why we want Burger King and McDonald’s to think of the environment and stop giving away plastic toys with their kids meals.
“We like to go to eat at Burger King and McDonald’s, but children only play with the plastic toys for a few minutes before they get thrown away and harm animals and pollute the sea. We want everything they give us to be environmentally friendly so we can protect the planet for ourselves and for future generations,” they continued.
Since the little girls’ story started being picked up by international news outlets（新闻版面）, Burger King and McDonald’s have emailed statements to CNBC detailing their plans for making their free toys more environmentally friendly.
