who may not drive every day but still want a car to run errands (差事) or drive on weekends benefit most
from car sharing. Car sharing is usually run by a service like Zipcar, though there are non-profit (非营利的)
and informal car sharing services. Members pay a monthly fee and have access to an entire fleet of cars when
they need one. The cars are parked in fixed spots around the city, so members only need to make a reservation,
and then go to the pickup spot.
Car sharing has major environmental benefits because it reduces the number of cars on the road. Members
don"t drive just because they are in a car. They plan trips, and if they don"t need a car, they don"t use one. Still,
a car is available to them if they need to make a big trip to the grocery store, pick someone up at the airport or
if they want to go to the beach for the day. Members also benefit by having access to a car without any of the
headaches of ownership. They usually don"t have to pay for the gas, insurance or maintenance (保养), and the
monthly membership fee is less than a typical car payment. So if you really want to go green but aren"t ready to
totally give up a car yet, car sharing may be the way to go.
If you still need to get around, but want to go even greener than sharing a car, share a bus!
B. has become the best way to cut living costs
C. is becoming more and more popular in cities
D. is becoming popular both in urban and rural (乡村的) areas
B. Zipcar, different from other services, is aimed at green driving with no profit
C. Zipcar is a company supplying car sharing services for a monthly payment
D. Zipcar is a company providing formal car sharing free
B. why car sharing benefits the environment
C. why car sharing is cheaper than owning a car
D. why a car is available to members
B. Car sharing can save you the headaches of ownership.
C. Bus sharing is even greener than car sharing.
D. Zipcar is the largest company offering car sharing services.

举一反三
"Palaeolithic (旧石器时代的) Man", "Neolithic" (新石器时代的) Man", etc. neatly sun up whole periods.
When the time comes for anthropologists to turn their attention to the twentieth century, they will surely
choose the label "Legless Man". Histories of the time will go something like this:"From the twentieth century,
people forgot how to use their legs. Men and women moved about in cars, buses and trains from a very
early age. There were lifts in all large buildings to prevent people from walking. And the surprising thing is
that they didn"t use their legs even when they went on holiday."
The future history books might also record that we were deprived (剥夺) of the use of our eyes. In our
hurry to get from one place to another, we failed to see anything on the way. Air travel gives you a bird"s-eye
view of the world. When you travel by car or train, an unclear picture of the countryside constantly smears
the windows. Car drivers, especially, are mixed with the urge to go on and on: they never want to stop. The
typical twentieth-century traveler is the man who always says "I"ve been there." You mention the remotest,
and someone is bound to say "I"ve been there"-meaning, "I drove through it at 100 miles an hour on the way
to somewhere else."
When you travel at high speeds, the present means nothing: you live mainly in the future because you spend
most of your time looking forward to arriving at some other place. But actual arrival, when it is achieved, is
meaningless. You want to move on again. By traveling like this, you suspend all experience. The traveler on
foot, on the other hand, lives constantly in the present.
For him traveling and arriving are one and the same thing: he arrives somewhere with every step he makes.
He experiences the present moment with his eyes, his ears and the whole of his body. At the end of his journey
he feels a delicious physical tiredness. He knows that sound, satisfying sleep will be his: the just reward of all
true travelers.
B. The best way to travel
C. The reward of true travel
D. Possible ways to travel
B. lifts prevent people from walking
C. modern vehicles have replaced walking
D. people prefer cars, buses and trains
B. people always focus on next destination
C. people can enjoy the view of the destination
D. people care much about the arrangement of the journey
B. eyes become useless in traveling at high speed
C. people want to sleep during traveling
D. people won"t use their eyes
B. There is no need to use legs or eyes.
C. Modern means of transportation make the world a small place.
D. We should experience the present heart and soul while traveling.
night? And, on the basis of a bit of email correspondence and seeing a photo of the sofa belonging to
"An Unknown", would you travel halfway across the world to do the same? It might sound crazy, but
this is exactly what millions of people have done whilst participating in an activity known as couch
surfing.
Couch surfing is travelling on a budget, using a broad network of contacts in order to get overnight
accommodation for free, or at as little cost as possible. Participants, also called couch surfers, join
dedicated websites, providing as much information about themselves as possible in order to make others
feel comfortable hosting them, or using them as a host. Various safety features are generally available in
such online networks, like verification (核实) of names and addresses,, personal references, and "vouching
(担保) for" a particular member; a reliable host or guest.
As well as the financial advantages of couch surfing, participants also claim that the practice gives them
a more unique, authentic (真正的) travel experience, allowing them to experience culture and cuisine through
the locals, rather than from the confines of sanitized tourist accommodation. "We open our minds and lives
and welcome the knowledge that becomes available through cultural exchange." said Casey Fenton, founder
of Couch Surfing. com. "Couch Surfing wants to change not only the way we travel, but how we relate to
the work."
a. Provide personal information.
b. Travel to the host"s house.
c. Join dedicated websites.
d. Check photos of sofas by emails.
B. b-c-a-d
C. a-d-c-b
D. c-a-d-b
B. A copy of the passport.
C. Personal references.
D. Vouching for the member as reliable.
B. couch surfing tests people"s patience
C. couch surfing leads to trust between people
D. people couch surf simply for financial reasons
B. Unique Advantages of Local Travelling.
C. Around the World from Sofa to Sofa.
D. Cultural Exchange by Correspondence.
a getaway, a short trip to leave the stress of their everyday lives behind and explore, learn, or relax.
Hotel Romance
Many hotels and resorts feature something special to start the getaway, such as champagnes, flowers, or
a fruit basket in the room on arrival. Getaway packages usually include a room with something special, a heart
shaped bed, for example. Additional benefits could be room service meals or other private dining, plus tickets
or discounts for local attractions.
Visit a Spa
Spa getaway can take place at a location that focuses only on spa services or at a hotel that offers a spa as
one of its features. Some spas emphasize treatments fit for their geographic area or a local attraction. A spa in
a grape growing region might provide grape juice masks, or a hotel near a hot spring could offer mineral baths.
Most spas offer a range of massage, health and beauty treatments, so a spa getaway can be relaxing with other
benefits.
Learn a Skill
A long weekend may not be enough time to become an expert at something new, but it provides a way for
people to begin their explorations. Some organizations offer intensive courses that last two or three days. People
with special interests can get away from their routines while learning such things as how to make beer, speak
a new language, or take better photos.
Help Others
Some organizations cooperate with businesses to have accommodations (住宿) and activities for short-term
volunteers. Most volunteer vacations involve ecology friendly or charity activities. A volunteer getaway is a way
to relieve stress and help others at the same time.
Stay in a National Park
For those who want to relax in a rural environment, a national park fits the bill. Most national parks provide
camping areas for tents and trailers. Several have cabins (小屋) within the parks available to rent. A getaway to
a national park provides privacy, stress relief, and the time to get to know some important natural resources.
B. an interesting location
C. a short vacation
D. an unforgettable experience
B. intensive courses of some organizations help people get away from home
C. helping others at weekend makes people free more stressful
D. people may get close to nature in a national park
B. Trailers.
C. Camping area.
D. Tents.
B. Good Ways to Relieve Stress
C. Enjoy Life and Help Others
D. Long Weekend Getaway Ideas
Dear Mr. Expert,
I grew up in an unhappy and abusive home. I always promised myself that I"d get out as soon as possible.
Now, at age 20, I have a good job and a nice house, and I"m really proud of the independence (独立) I"ve
achieved.
Here"s the problem: several of my friends who still live with their parents wish they had places like mine-so
much so that they make mine theirs.
It started out with a couple of them spending the weekends with me. But now they seem to take it for
granted that they can show up any time they like. They bring boyfriends over, talk on the phone and stay out
forever.
I enjoy having my friends here sometimes-it makes the place feel comfortable and warm-but this is my
home, not a party house. I was old enough to move out on my own, so why can"t I seem to ask my friends
to respect my privacy (隐私) ?
Joan
Edward"s reply to Joan
Dear Joan,
If your family didn"t pay attention to your needs when you were a child, you probably have trouble letting
others know your needs now.
And if you"ve gathered your friends around you to rebuild a happy family atmosphere (气氛), you may
fear that saying no will bring back the kind of conflict (冲突) you grew up with-or destroy the nice atmosphere
you now enjoy. You need to understand that in true friendship it"s okay to put your own needs first from time
to time.
Be clear about the message you want to send. For example, "I really love your company but I also need
some privacy. So please call me before you come over."
Edward
B. takes pride in her friends
C. knows Mr. Expert quite well
D. hates her parents very much
B. Joan"s friends visit her more often than she can accept
C. Joan doesn"t like the parties at all
D. Joan dislikes the boyfriends her friends bring over
B. She does not understand true friendship.
C. Her family experience stops her from doing so.
D. She does not put her needs first.
B. wants Joan not to quarrel with her friends
C. advises Joan on how to refuse people
D. encourages Joan to be brave enough
that were owned by one person or a family. Women went from the bakery to the butcher"s to the grocer and
on to the fruit and vegetable seller in order to get their food for the week.
Then about sixty years ago, supermarkets were born. In a supermarket, people could get all the different
kinds of food they needed without going to different stores.
The next big change in shopping in the United States was the shopping mall. A shopping mall is a group of
stores under one roof. Because malls allowed people to shop without worrying about the weather, they soon
became very popular. The mall became a place for people to socialize in addition to shopping. If you walk
through a mall, you will see older people sitting, chatting and drinking coffee. Malls are places for teenagers to
hang out. Many teens will often just "go to the mall" and spend time with their friends.
The recent change in American shopping was the superstore. Large chain stores such as Wal-Mart, Office
Depot and Toys "R" Us have been built all across the United States. Because they are so large, they can buy
goods at a great discount and sell them much cheaper than smaller stores.
Sometimes, when they are built near small towns, many of the small town stores have to close. They just
cannot compete with their giant neighbors.
And now, online shopping is becoming more and more popular all over the States. People are too busy to
go to the physical stores, so they go shopping over the Internet. Online shopping has lots of advantages. For
instance, online stores are usually available 24 hours a day. Searching or browsing online shops can bde faster
than browsing the physical stores. While, online shopping also has its disadvantages. People are at higher risk
of being cheated on the part of the merchant than in a physical store. And privacy of personal information may
be let out.
