Unit 12 Travel the World

Unit 12 Page 110 Reading Exercise 5 A WORLD RECORD BREAKER by Tom Jenkins She's taken over 255 flights. She's filled five passports, she's planted trees, has spoken to students in over 40 different countries, and she's funded all $1 10,000 through sponsors and investors. Now, her amazing adventure has finished and 29-year-old Cassie De Pecol has done it: she's broken two Guinness World records. After 18 months and 10 days, Cassie has become the fastest person to visit every country in the world, and the first woman on record to do so, in half the old record time. Back in 2014, Cassie decided to leave her job because she wasn't doing what she really wanted to do. What she really wanted to do was to see the world, and she started making plans for her great journey. She started saving all the money she could, and in July 2015, she left home to start her travels. Just over a year and a half later, on 2 February 2017, she arrived in Yemen, the 196th and last country on her (very!) long list. Of course, she didn't have much time to see each country, but she made sure to use her time well. She spent an average of two to five days in each country. The best parts of her journey included: meeting local people, travelling to remote places on her own, planting trees and educating students on important world issues. Cassie is a keen runner and triathlete and so she also didn't enjoy staying in places where she didn't feel safe enough to go for a run. But Cassie's journey was not just one long holiday. She also wanted to make a difference. She went as a Peace Ambassador (a special representative) for the International Institute for Peace Through Tourism. In many of the countries she went to, she met and talked to local students - they discussed how tourism can be used to help each country. Cassie is also very worried about the environment, so she agreed to help another organisation called Adventurers and Scientists for Conservation, funded by National Geographic. In many of the countries she went to, she collected samples of water for them to test for the presence of microplastics. Cassie has always wanted to travel. When she was at school, she had a strong interest in other cultures. She was curious about how Americans have their origins in countries all over the world, and she wanted to find out more about where their ancestors came from. This journey was a chance to start answering some of these questions. So, has she finished her travels now? No, she hasn't - not at all! Cassie hasn't become tired of travelling, and she is already making plans for her next journey. And she didn't forget Antarctica! She visited it on the last stop of her expedition.

第十二单元 第110页阅读练习5 打破世界纪录汤姆·詹金斯 她乘坐了255次航班。 她填了五本护照，种了树， 与40多个不同国家的学生进行了交谈， 她通过赞助商和投资者资助了全部11万美元。 现在，她惊人的冒险已经结束，29岁的凯西·德·佩科尔做到了： 她打破了两项吉尼斯世界纪录。 18个月又10天后， 凯西已经成为世界上访问每个国家最快的人， 也是有记录以来第一位这样做的女性，用了旧记录时间的一半。 早在2014年，凯西就决定辞职 因为她没有做她真正想做的事。 她真正想做的是看看世界， 她开始为她的伟大旅程制定计划。 她开始尽可能地存钱， 2015年7月，她离开家开始旅行。 一年半后，即2017年2月2日，她抵达也门， 她（非常！）长长的名单上的第196个也是最后一个国家。 当然，她没有太多时间去看每个国家， 但她一定要好好利用时间。 她平均在每个国家呆两到五天。 她旅程中最精彩的部分包括：与当地人见面， 她独自前往偏远地区，种树，并就重要的世界问题教育学生。 凯西是一名热衷于跑步和铁人三项的运动员，所以她也不喜欢呆在那些地方 她觉得不够安全，不能去跑步。 但凯西的旅程不仅仅是一个长假。 她也想有所作为。 她以和平大使（特别代表）的身份前往 国际旅游和平研究所。 在她去过的许多国家，她都遇到了当地学生并与他们交谈- 他们讨论了如何利用旅游业来帮助每个国家。 凯西也很担心环境， 所以她同意帮助另一个组织 由《国家地理》资助的名为“保护冒险家和科学家”的项目。 在她去过的许多国家， 她为他们收集了水样，以检测是否存在微塑料。 凯西一直想去旅行。 当她在学校的时候，她对其他文化有着浓厚的兴趣。 她很好奇美国人是如何起源于世界各国的， 她想更多地了解他们的祖先来自哪里。 这次旅行是一个开始回答其中一些问题的机会。 那么，她现在旅行结束了吗？不，她没有——一点也没有！ 凯西还没有厌倦旅行，她已经在为下一次旅行做计划。 她没有忘记南极洲！她在探险的最后一站参观了它。

Page 113 Listening Exercise 8 & 9 Hello again. Right. He's visited more than a hundred countries. He's taken thousands of photos and published them in travel magazines. He's got a very popular travel blog. But he's taken a break today to talk about how to travel well. Richard Ward, thank you for coming today. Thanks for inviting me. So you've just completed your tenth year of travelling. That's right. Ten years without spending more than a week back home. Well, my parents' home. I've never had my own home. And to celebrate your ten years, you've made a list of top things to do when you travel. That's right. And I'm hoping to publish them in a book later this year. Have you ever written a book before? No, I haven't. This will be my first. How exciting. Now, on your website, there are twenty tips for travelling. We can't talk about all of them so can I ask you, what's your number one tip? Well, that's difficult. My number one? Hmm. OK. I'm going to say: 'Get off the beaten track'. I mean, try and go to places that other people don't go to. Of course, it's great to see all those famous places that everyone wants to see. But if you explore a bit further, go to other places, you'll discover much more interesting things, you know? On my blog I talk about an important difference: the difference between travellers and tourists. A tourist always stays on the beaten track. A traveller likes to leave it. Of course, you might get lost ... And have you ever got lost? Oh yes, hundreds of times. In fact another of my tips is 'try to get lost'! It's part of the fun of travelling. If you get lost sometimes, you can find amazing things, great people. OK, let's talk about things to take with you. Another tip you have is: 'always take a scarf'. Why? Well, a scarf is a really useful thing. You can wrap it around you to keep you warm or to keep the sun off. You can carry things in it, too, or tie things together. Well, I want to talk some more, Richard. But first it's time for some music and ...

Page 114 Reading Exercise 2 TRAVELLING THE WORLD FROM YOUR SOFA! Seventeen-year-old Tom Davidson hasn't left his home since he was 15. The last time he went out was two years ago. He was walking to catch a bus when he was hit on the head by a sign falling from a building. He spent more than two months in hospital and doctors told him he was lucky to be alive. The accident left Tom with agoraphobia: the idea of being outdoors makes him feel extremely anxious. The problem is that Tom loves travelling. Before his accident, Tom spent most weekends exploring his home city of London by bus, underground train and his scooter, and he looked forward to holidays abroad with his parents. Now the idea of driving in a car to France or taking a plane to Italy terrifies him. However, there is a way that Tom can still visit the most remote corners of the world without leaving the security of his home: Google Maps. In the last year and a half, Tom has visited every country in the world where Google Maps has been and taken photos. Using 'street view', he has walked down the streets of the world's most famous cities, he has seen all the world's most amazing geographical features and he has visited places in the world that he didn't know existed: all of this from the comfort of his home. Tom's virtual travel is more than just a hobby - it has become an art project. He has taken more than 5,000 screenshots of places he has visited and last week, there was an exhibition of his best photos at a school near his home (but of course, he didn't go). Tom also hopes that his online journeys will help him eventually to overcome his agoraphobia. As he discovers more places that he wants to visit one day, he is becoming more and more determined to leave his home. And his dream, if he can, is to work in the travel industry, for example as a flight attendant or a tour guide.

Page 116 Culture Exercise 2 HARD JOURNEYS FOR SCHOOLCHILDREN 'How do you get to school?' This question often gets an answer like 'By bus' or 'I walk' or 'My parents take me by car.' But not always - there are children in many different parts of the world who, every day, have to go on a difficult journey in order to get to their lessons. They travel for kilometres on foot, or by boat, bicycle, donkey or train. They cross deserts, mountains, rivers, snow and ice: for example, the children of the Inupiat community in Alaska go to school and then come back when it is dark, in extremely cold temperatures. And they are not the only ones. Kids in many countries do this and more. These children in Indonesia have to cross a bridge ten metres above a dangerous river to get to their class on time. (Some years ago the bridge fell down after very heavy rain.) Then they walk many more kilometres through the forest to their school in Banten. A pupil at Gulu Village Primary School, China, rides a donkey as his grandfather walks beside him. Gulu is a mountain village in a national park. The school is far away from the village. It is halfway up a mountain, so it takes five hours to climb from the bottom of the mountain to the school. The children have a dangerous journey: the path is only 45 centimetres wide in some places. In Sri Lanka, some children have to cross a piece of wood between two walls of an old castle every morning. Their teacher watches them carefully. But in Galle, Sri Lanka, many girls don't go to school - they have to go to work or get married young. So girls are happy to take a risk in order to get to school. Six-year-old Fabricio Oliveira gets on his donkey every morning to ride with his friends for over an hour through a desert region in the very dry Sertao area of northeast Brazil. Their school is in Extrema. It's a tiny village - very few people live there. These children live in houses on Chetla Road in Delhi, India. Their homes are near the busy and dangerous railway lines that go to Alipur station. Every morning they walk along the tracks to get to their school, 40 minutes away. So one question we can ask is: why do the children do this? Because their parents make them do it? The answer, in many cases, is no - it's because for them going to school means a better future: they hope to get a job and money so they can help their families and their neighbours. And this is why rivers, deserts or danger won't stop them on their way to school.

第116页文化练习2 学童的艰难旅程 “你怎么去学校？” 这个问题的答案通常是“乘公共汽车”或“我走路” 或者“我父母开车送我。” 但并非总是如此——世界上许多不同地区都有孩子， 每天，为了上课，他们都要经历一段艰难的旅程。 他们步行、乘船、骑自行车、骑驴或乘火车旅行数公里。 他们穿越沙漠、山脉、河流、冰雪： 例如，阿拉斯加因纽特社区的孩子 去上学，然后在非常寒冷的天气里天黑后回来。 而且他们不是唯一的。许多国家的孩子都这样做，甚至更多。 印尼的这些孩子必须过桥 在危险的河流上方十米处准时到达他们的课堂。 （几年前，这座桥在大雨后倒塌了。） 然后，他们穿过森林走了更多公里，来到万丹的学校。 中国鼓楼村小学的一名学生， 他骑着驴，爷爷走在他身边。 古卢是国家公园里的一个山村。 学校离村子很远。 它在半山腰上， 所以从山脚爬到学校需要五个小时。 孩子们经历了一段危险的旅程： 这条小路有些地方只有45厘米宽。 在斯里兰卡，有些孩子必须穿过一块木头 每天早晨，在一座古堡的两堵墙之间。 他们的老师仔细地看着他们。 但在斯里兰卡的加勒，许多女孩不上学- 他们必须年轻时去上班或结婚。 所以女孩们很乐意为了上学而冒险。 六岁的法布里西奥·奥利维拉每天早上都会骑上驴 和朋友一起骑行一个多小时 穿过巴西东北部非常干燥的Sertao地区的沙漠地区。 他们的学校在埃斯特雷马。 这是一个小村庄，很少有人住在那里。 这些孩子住在印度德里Chetla路的房子里。 他们的家靠近通往Alipur站的繁忙而危险的铁路线。 每天早上，他们沿着铁轨走到40分钟路程的学校。 所以我们可以问一个问题：为什么孩子们会这样做？ 因为他们的父母让他们这样做？ 在许多情况下，答案是否定的- 因为对他们来说，上学意味着更美好的未来： 他们希望找到工作和钱，这样他们就可以帮助家人和邻居。 这就是为什么河流、沙漠或危险不会阻止他们上学。
