My Favorite Travel Books

    Matthew Karsten has been traveling around the world for nine years now, and it all started after he was inspired by reading some useful travel books. Here is his personal list of the best reads.

    Travels With a Donkey in the Cévennes

    Robert Stevenson

    It is one of the first travel books I have read, which takes me on a walking journey with Robert and his donkey(驴) Mosestine across a mountainous region of France. I get to feel what traveling through 1870's Europe was like, Robert and his donkey don't get along well at first, but they finally learn to become travel companions.

    World Walk

    Steven Newman

    World Walk is the story of newspaper writer Steven Newman who packed his bag at the age of 28 to start a four-year-long journey around the world on foot. He walked his way across 22 countries in five continents. He shared heartfelt stories of the people he met along the way, as well as wild adventures. A lesson of hope and love is told through the exciting backpacking.

    On the Road

    Jack Kerouac

    Oh the Road is a classic American travel book. The story, which is based on Kerouat himself, tells us about Dean Moriarty's cross-country journey across America in the 1940's. A great read for those who would like to escape the real world for a while and just go where the wind blows them.

    The Cat Who Went to Paris

    Peter Gethers

    Brody Ridder attends The Academy of Charter Schools in Westminster, Colorado. When he got his yearbook(学校年刊), he went up to people and asked them to sign his yearbook but most of them refused. He collected only two or three names from classmates and two notes from his teachers. So. Brody wrote a yearbook note to himself, "Hope you make some more friends."

    Reading that note broke his mother's heart. She took a photo of the note and posted it to a Facebook group for parents at the school. The post made its way to three high schoolers: Simone Lightfoot, Logan South and Joanna Cooper. They spent hours discussing the problem and finding ways to help. “It's so fun to have everyone sign the yearbook, but for this kid few people have signed their names in his yearbook. It's just heartbreaking,” Lightfoot said. They all started planning that the next day they were going to sign this kid's yearbook.

    The three rounded up as many students as possible to sign Brody s yearbook even though none of them had ever met the three high schoolers. According to the teens, people were lining up to fill the blanks in Brody’s book Many of the more than 100 signatures included paragraphs with words of encouragement, advice and even phone numbers. And then right after that, everyone in the class started signing Brody's yearbook.

    The teens said they hope the small friendly act can encourage other kids to be kind. "It makes me feel better now. I don't know how to explain it. It makes me feel better from the bottom of my heart," Brody said "It makes me feel like there's hope for the school, there's hope for humanity and there're a lot of good kids in this world," his mother said.

    Over the past four decades, more than 450 butterfly species have been hit by the falling numbers. In the US alone, the number of monarch butterflies(黑脉金斑蝶) has seen a drop of 80%, from scientists recording millions of them in the 1980s, and only 29,000 in 2020. It’s part of a wider possibility across the insect group. In 2017, scientists in Germany raised a arm bells after finding that insects had fallen by more than 70% in 30 years.

    For farmers, monarch butterflies pollinate(授粉) a very large percentage of food crops. It is very important to protect them because their disappearance could have a huge economic influence. Butterflies are also helpful in the coal mine for other insects, as it is easier for them to feel the environmental change, and relatively easy to record.

    Leading environmental organizations have been working hard to find new ways of recording the number of butterflies. As of now, there is no long-term data to develop good protection methods. The scientists wanted to address the challenge that long-term recording programs worldwide have faced: they are focusing on training locals as insect experts, which requires much money. They came up with a new method to the problem. In Yasuni National Park, they hired park rangers(护林员) who were trained and then carried out recording. The rangers were able to recognize butterflies with an 85% success rate, which is important for these kinds of recording programs to be successful.

    Compared with other recording projects, this study represents a long-term solution. Our method increases the chance of recording in the long term by reducing the money spent on it such as wages," said lead author Maria Checa. "Furthermore, it also offers opportunities for public organizations to achieve their environmental goals."

8、How does the author develop the first paragraph?

A. By telling a story.  B. By listing numbers.

C. By showing possible results.  D. By discussing different reasons.

9、How are butterflies different from other insects in feeling the environmental change?

A. They are quicker.  B. They are lazier.

C. They are slower.   D. They are more inactive.

10、What does the underlined word “address” in paragraph 3 probably mean?

A. Discover.  B. Solve.  C. Invent.  D. Balance.

11、What’s Maria Checa’s attitude towards the new method?

A. Uncaring.  B. Disapproving.  C. Positive.  D. Doubtful.

    Charles Darwin's notebooks were first reported missing to the public in 2020. An anonymous(匿名的) person has returned Darwin's two notebooks to the Cambridge University Library. The notebooks, which include Darwin's l837 Tree of Life introduction, were returned to the library last month in a bright pink gift bag. "My sense of relief at the notebooks' safe return is great and almost impossible to express," said librarian Dr. Jessica Gardner.

    The notebooks had been missing for long, while librarians had supposed they had just been misplaced. The library plans to put the notebooks on show in July as part of a coming exhibition(展览) called "Darwin in Conversation". The Tree of Life is said to show Darwin's thinking before he completed On the Origin of Species. "Objects like these help with our understanding of the history of humans," said Stephen Toope, a professor at Cambridge.

    The library said the notebooks were first removed in 2000 from the Special Collections Strong Rooms, home to the rarest and most valuable things. A usual check in January 2001 found that the small box having the notebooks was not returned to its right place. After a number of searches throughout the library over the years, the notebooks were not found. Gardner arranged a more careful search in 2020, led by experts who conducted fingertip examinations. The team searched the whole Darwin Archive, which includes more than 180 boxes. After these efforts failed, they had the result that the notebooks had been stolen.

    Local police are pleased that the notebooks have finally been found. "We share the university's delight that these priceless notebooks are now back where they belong," a Cambridge police spokesman said. "Our investigation remains open and we are following up some lines of questions."

12、When was the two notebooks' loss first reported to the public?

A. In 1837.  B. In 2000. C.In 2001. D. In 2020.

13、What can be learned about the notebooks from paragraph 2?

A. A librarian misplaced them.

B. They were lost at an exhibition.

C.The library did nothing to get them back.

D. They were important for us to understand the human history.

14、What will the local police do in the following days?

A. Dig out more valuable things.

B. Find more information about the notebooks.

C. Open a right place for the notebooks.

D. Celebrate the return of the notebooks further.

15、Which is the best title for the text?

A. Darwin's Notebooks Are Finally Returned

B. Darwin's Notebooks Are Missing for Years

C. Two Important Notebooks Will Be Found Soon

D. Efforts for Darwin's Notebooks Have Been Made

    Christmas came, and Stewart gathered the children at the dinner table. He tried to prepare all of their favorite food because he had no extra money for individual gifts.

    "Lucy, I baked your favorite apple pie. Sean, I made sure to get some baked spaghetti(意大利面条) from the store. And Gregory, I baked a whole chicken. Your favorites! Merry Christmas, my sweet children!" Stewart told them.

    After eating dinner together, Stewart took his three kids outside to make a huge snowman and had a snowball fight. It was a family tradition that Stewart wanted to keep alive even though his wife was no longer with them.

    Many years passed, and Stewart's kids all had families of their own. And they were all too busy to visit Stewart, although they didn't live far away. So Stewart spent most of the year alone.

    Stewart would often sit in a wheelchair and look at old photos of his family. He came across one particular photo where he and his children were making a snowman outside the house. They were happy, and the lovely smiles on his children's faces were priceless.

    Stewart waited for his children to come on Christmas Eve, looking out of the window. "How I wish..." he said to himself as he watched others having fun together in their backyards.

    Stewart was sure that each member of his family had forgotten his invitation once again until he heard a short knock on the door.

    "Who is it?" Stewart asked.

    "Hi, Grandpa," a small boy said after he opened the door. "Tim! What a surprise!" Stewart smiled. "Is it just you? How did you get here alone?!"

    Tim nodded sadly, "Even on Christmas Eve, my parents don't notice me. They're too busy with work. I know how much you love Christmas. Grandpa, so I walked here."

    Stewart wanted to cheer his grandson up, so he went to get dressed. "Well, you and I will have a happy Christmas together," Stewart told Tim. "Kids deserve to play in the snow every Christmas," he added.

注意:

    Both of them went outside even though Stewart could not stay outdoors for a long time. As soon as they went out, Tim couldn't wait to rush into the snow. Soon, they made a huge snowman together. Stewart rolled his wheelchair, singing and dancing with Tim, their faces glowing with happiness. By the time Tim's parents realized that their son was missing, they happened to see him having a lot of fun with his grandfather in the snow. Unfortunately, just as they were enjoying themselves, Stewart fell over, and Tim's parents called an ambulance to take him to the hospital.
