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

1Preparing too much before travelling

Some people, especially women travellers, 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 so on. They always like to fill their travelling bags with all fashionable things. Just travelling? Attending a fashion show more like it. They only care more about their appearance (外表) than the views they see during the trip.

2Following other travellers blindly (盲目地)

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

3Buying the same thing that they have left at home

They don’t remember to bring things like trainers, cool bags, or beach towels. The price of the towels (毛巾) near beaches is very high. 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。

You may have heard of people who are allergic(过敏)to seafood, smoke or pets. But did you know that some people were allergic to Wi-Fi signals(信号)?

had a cough, heart trouble and great pains in her head when she stayed at the places covered with Wi-Fi signals.

Rose has tried many ways to keep away from Wi-Fi signals. In the past six months, she either slept in her car or in tent which she had put up in the woodland and in the fields. She even tried sleeping in a shed(棚子). Being completely tired, Rose had no choice but to quit her job and moved 370 kilometers away from her home to avoid Wi-Fi signals, but failed. Because of the hard life, she got a stomach problem.

She is now living in a small house in the rural(乡下的) area in England. There are far fewer Wi-Fi signals. However, the house, which belongs to her friend, will be sold to others, so she has to move again soon.

Rose is planning to move to a more rural area. She is also planning to buy a camper van(野营车) so that she can drive away from Wi-Fi signals whenever she is feeling uncomfortable.
