Do you love traveling? If the answer is yes, then have you ever thought about why? You may argue that traveling can help you enrich your knowledge, especially geographical and historical learning. It will provide more chances for you to enjoy food and try on clothes that you otherwise cannot possible have. A famous English author Francis Bacon (1561-1626) makes a point when he says that, “Travel, in the younger sort, is a part of education; in the elder, a part of experience.”
Evidence of leisure travel can be traced as far back as ancient Babylon. This year, according to the World Travel & Tourism Council, the 1 billionth tourist will cross an international boundary before the end of this month. That means that one in seven people on the planet traveled this year, something that would not have been possible a few decades ago. Around 20 years ago only the rich could travel.
While the US and France remain the two largest destinations for world travel, experts say much of the explosive growth in tourism has been to countries like Guatemala, the Dominican Republic, and the Ivory Coast, which weren’t even on the world tourism map a decade ago. The top five destinations in the world, according to the United Nations World Tourism Organization, are Paris, London, New York, the Mediterranean, Turkey.
Several factors have led to the boom in world travel. The prosperity (富裕) of people in Asia is one factor. People in Asian developing countries have lifted their incomes above middle-class levels in the past few years. And a lot of them have used their new wealth to travel. In addition, travel costs have been reduced thanks to the rapid development of transportation, and competition between airlines to give customers the best prices.

Advertising actually has a dual(双重的)function：to sell，as well as to inform．If you stop to think of it，advertisements(ads)provide information of almost everything in our household and immediate environment，from shampoo to fuel for cars．An obvious purpose is to inform consumers of new products and services as well as to remind them of established ones．Performance，price，value for money，quality and reliability are some of the main features mentioned in ads．
Yet there is another important side of advertising that should not be forgotten：choice．A number of ads for different brands of the same product，e．g．toothpaste，shampoo or washing powder allow the consumer to choose．Choice is an important part of buying．
In this busy day and age，there is little time for comparison shopping．To determine which product is the best to buy，and at the most competitive price，consumers these days rely on advertising in its various forms．This saves time and energy and makes shopping easier．
Few can deny that ads benefit the consumer since they encourage healthy competition．When companies compete for the consumer’s dollar，this is good for the purchaser of the product or service．Advertising tends to increase competition since it informs consumers of what is available．One company’s offer will be either matched or bettered by another company in its advertising．
It was unheard of ten years ago to buy products directly using a personal computer，but it has become a matter of course for some people to browse(浏览)the Internet，surfuntil they find an e commerce site and then select the product．Marketing products has been almost turned upside down by new ways of selling and buying．More than at any time in history，the choice of goods is unlimited．The whole world is a customer’s marketplace．For busy people like you and me，advertisements actually do us a favor．

A private sixth grade is set to start its lessons at 1.30 pm every day because the school’s teacher thinks his students will study better after a morning lie-in (懒觉).
Instead of rising early for a 9 am start, students at the ￡15,000-a-year Hampton Court House, in East Molesey, Surrey, will get to enjoy a lie-in and work from 1.30 pm until 7pm. Head teacher Guy Holloway says the move for all sixth grade students, set to begin from September, has been made according to research by scientists. He predicts (预测) that not only will his students aged 16 and upwards get great night’s sleep, but their productivity (效率) will also be improved.
The co-educational school will have the latest start time in the UK, and will be the only one to begin lessons in the afternoon.
Experts say young people are programmed to get up later, and that rather than laziness it is simply a shift (转变) in their body clocks.
‘There are 168 hours in a week and how productive they are depends on how they choose to use those hours,’ said Mr Holloway. ‘At Hampton Court House we don’t think we have the answer for everybody; it’s about what works in our school. We want to get them into a condition where they can get great sleep and study well.’ He said students would also benefit from reduced journey times as they travel to and from school after rush hour (上下班高峰时间).
Year 10 student Gabriel Purcell-Davis will be one of the first of 30 A-level students to start at the later time. ‘I want to wake up in my bed, not in my maths lesson,’ said the 15-year-old. Lessons for all other students at the school will still begin at 9 am as usual.
1.Why did the school decide to start the class at 1.30 pm?
A. It may be good for students’ study.
B. Students wanted a morning lie-in.
C. Students were often late for school.
D. Teachers wanted to have a good sleep in the morning.
2.What can we learn about the new start time?
A. It’s suitable for every student.
B. It was based on scientific research.
C. Students are following the new school time now.
D. Only the sixth grade students will use the new school time.
3.Experts think young people’s getting up later ________.
A. is a bad habit
B. is a natural thing
C. is because of laziness
D. is helpful to their study
4.In Mr. Holloway’s eyes, students can improve their productivity by ________.
A. working harder
B. not wasting time
C. using time wisely
D. learning new study methods
5.What’s Gabriel Purcell-Davis’ attitude towards the new school time?
A. Doubtful.B. Supportive.C. Worried.D. Objective.
