A.  they didn"t like the beauty of the countryside at all B.  their parents" income was not high enough to pay for the cost C.  they couldn"t make a round trip between morning and nightfall because of the distance D.  Both B & C 2.  Paragraph 2 mainly tells us ________. A.  how the first Youth Hostel began B.  how to turn little schoolhouse into a dormitory for the summer holidays C.  what the students should carry when spending summer holidays in the countryside D.  the reason why spending summer holidays in the countryside 3.  According to the passage,, the following are the mentioned advantages of hostelling EXCEPT ________. A.  enjoying the beauty of the countryside B.  broadening their outlook and knowledge C.  making new friends D.  avoiding doing their homework 4.  用30词左右概括文章大意     _______________________________________________________
