Why do people travel? Well, many people travel because they want to see other countries and visit places that are famous, interesting or beautiful. People also travel to meet new friends, to try new kinds of food, to experience life in other parts of the world or simply to get away from cold weather. Yet there are other reasons why people travel. Many of today’s travellers are looking for an unusual experience and adventure travel is becoming more and more popular. Here is a quick look at two popular activities: hiking and rafting.

Hiking

Instead of spending your vacation on a bus, in a hotel or sitting on the beach, you may want to try hiking. Hiking is a great way to travel. You will get close to nature and take exercise at the same time. Hiking is easy to do and doesn’t have to be very expensive. You can hike close to home or travel to other places. The basic equipment you need for hiking is simple: good shoes, clothes and a backpack. You can hike in the mountains, in a forest or along a river. You can also go for a hike in the city.

Hiking is fun and exciting, but you shouldn’t forget safety.

Here are some basic tips for successful hiking:

Don't hike alone

Tell someone where you are going

Bring water and a good map

Watch out for dangers, such as snakes

Wear a hat to protect yourself from the sun

Rafting

Another exciting adventure（冒险） is rafting. A raft is a small boat that you can use to paddle（划）down rivers and streams. Rafting is a good way to experience nature. If you want a normal rafting trip, choose a quiet stream or river that is wide and has few fallen trees or rocks. If you are looking for more excitement, you may want to try whitewater rafting. Whitewater rafting is more adventurous and difficult than normal rating. It is done on rivers and streams where the water moves quickly. You have to be careful not to hit rocks, trees and other dangers.

As with hiking, you should always think about your safety and wear good clothes. You also need to learn the basic skills of rafting. You should not go rafting unless you know how to swim,and you should always wear a life jacket.

Mary Allen was my best friend- like the sister I ever had. We did everything together : piano lessons, movies, swimming, and horseback riding.

When I was 13, my family moved away. Mary and I kept in touch through letters and we saw each other on special occasions（场合）- like my wedding and Mary’s. Soon we were busy with children and moving to new homes, and we wrote less often. One day a card that I sent came back stamped “Address Unkown”.

Over the years, I thought of Mary often. I wanted to share stories of my children and then grandchildren. And I needed to share my sorrow when my brother and then mother died. There was an empty place in my heart that only a friend like Mary could fill.

One day I was reading the newspaper when I noticed a photo of a young woman who looked a lot like Mary and whose last name was Wagman- Mary’s married name. “There must be thousands of Wagman. ” I thought, but I wrote to her anyway.

She called as soon as she got my letter. “Mrs Tobin!” she said excitedly. “Mary Allen Wagman ” is my mother. Minutes later I heard a voice that recognized instantly, （很快）even after 40 years. We laughed and cried and caught up on each other’s lives.

Now the empty place in my heart is filled. And there’s one thing that Mary and I know for sure: We don’t lose each other again.

Throughout history, people have been interested in knowing how language first began, but they haven’t known exactly where or how this happened. However, we do know a lot about languages, the language of today and the languages of earlier times. There are probably about three thousand languages in the world today. Chinese is the language with the most speakers. English, Russian and Spanish are also spoken by many millions of people. On the other hand, some languages in the world have fewer than one hundred speakers.

There are several important families of languages in the world. For example, most of the languages of Europe are in one large family called Indo-Europeans. （印欧语系）The original languages of this family was spoken about 4,500 years ago. Many of the present-day languages of Europe and India are modern forms of the language of 4,500 years ago.

Languages are always changing. The English of today is very different from the English of 500 years ago. In time, some even die out completely. About 1,000 years ago, English was a little known relative of German spoken on one of the orders of Europe.

If a language has a large number of speakers and if it is very old, there may be differences in the ways it is spoken in different areas. That is, the language may have several dialects. Chinese is a good example of dialect difference. Chinese had been spoken for thousands of years by many millions of speakers. The differences between the dialects of Chinese are so great that speakers of Chinese from some parts of China can not understand from other parts.

28. The first paragraph mainly tells us that _________

D. some people know several languages

29. Most European and Indian languages _________
