I was traveling alone through the UK.To reach places that were off the public transportation map，I bought an old car，which cost most of my money.I couldn't afford to stay in the hotel，so I had to camp in my car for the rest of the trip.

One morning I awoke in my old car on a country road in Ireland and saw a single house.The water in my thermos(保温瓶)had gone cold，so I knocked on the door of the house.A woman opened it.I asked her for some hot water.But she wouldn't let me get away with just that！I was invited indoors.She asked me to sit at the table and have breakfast with her family.They filled my thermos before I left.

I was greatly moved.And I decided to pass the kindness on.The other day I met a young man who had been driving around to look for a parking lot.He looked increasingly upset.I was glad that I was able to point one out to him.His thankful smile was the hugest reward(奖赏)for me.

While travelling，you'll be taking money，your license or passport.Or you will buy something expensive to take back home with you and you don't want it to get stolen.Here are some ideas on how to keep your valuables(贵重物品)safe while travelling.

Plan ahead of time

Think of what you really need and don't need to take on your trip.Only take the valuables that you must have，not just ones that you would like to have.

Carry your valuables on your person

Something that is small，like cash and credit cards and your passport，can be carried in a money wallet around your neck or in a money belt.This way，your valuables are hidden right next to you，and you know where they are at all times.Wear clothing that can hide the money belt.

Carry larger valuables in your carry-on bag

If you can't fit some large valuables in your money wallet，you'd better put them somewhere else and make sure that you will be able to keep in touch with them.You can put them on the plane，so you don't have to worry about the airline losing your bag or someone stealing it from the belt after the flight before you get to it.

Choose a hotel that has the front desk for valuables

This way，you don't have to worry about someone stealing your valuables if your room is broken into.If you give the valuables to the front desk to keep for you，choose a time when others are not looking.

( A )26. When you plan your travel ahead of time，you should make sure that ________． A．you take valuables that you must have B．you take valuables as many as possible C．you take valuables that you would like to have D．you take valuables that you have at home

Your school life is going to end soon.What do you plan to do for your winter holiday？How about going camping？Camping trips can be a great way to relax and learn new things.If you have a good plan，you will have a good camping trip.Of course，different places offer different challenges，so start by making a list of things you might need for your trip.

Consider what kind of trip you want.This will help you enjoy your trip.If you are planning activities，you must be honest with yourself and make sure that you can deal with the challenges you will face.If the challenges are too hard，the camping trip will make you feel tired and sad.

You should also think about what to do if you meet some wild animals on your trip，such as bears，snakes or spiders.

Some people have found that they always spend much more on travelling than planned.Here is how it happens：

1．Preparing too much before travelling

Some people，especially females，like to travel as if starting a new life.Several weeks before the trip，they would be busy shopping for new dresses，better sunglasses and best-selling books.They would rather fill their travelling bags up with all fashionable things.Just travelling？Attending a fashion show is more like it.They care more about their appearance than the sights they see during the trip.

2．Following other travellers blindly

They can't stop shopping for objects they would never normally buy and would certainly never use.For example，we can find a group of travellers “getting ahead” to buy “Christmas” presents even in summer.

3．Replacing things that are forgotten to bring

They don't remember to bring things like trainers，cool bags，toothbrushes or beach towels.The towels sold near beaches are nearly the price of gold leaves.They spend a lot on those things.However，plenty of new towels are sleeping in their bathroom at home. 阅读以上信息，用恰当的单词完成下面的短文，每空一词。

People usually find themselves poorer than they planned after a holiday trip.There are mainly three __56__.Firstly，some female travellers consider a journey as attending a fashion show.How they look seems more __57__ than what they see，so they spend more money on something new.Secondly，some people follow others without __58__.When others do some shopping，they can't __59__ themselves.Thirdly，goods for daily use at tourist attractions aren't as __60__ as those back home.As a result，they may spend more than they thought. 56. reasons/causes 57. important 58. thinking 59. control 60. cheap 8

My Trip to Qingdao I had a two-day trip to Qingdao with my friends last summer vacation.We had a wonderful time there. We went to Qingdao by bus.When we got there in the afternoon，we couldn't wait to go to the beach near our hotel.The weather was nice.Everything was as beautiful as I imagined.We walked along the beach and enjoyed the soft sand，the gentle wind and the blue sea.In the evening，we had a big seafood dinner.It was really delicious. The next morning，we went to Laoshan Mountain.It is not very high，but there is an old and interesting tale about it.So it receives a lot of visitors every year. I enjoyed this trip so much that I didn't want to go back home.
