I was 2 through a local market one day when I chanced upon a jar of 3 jam. I could find tins of apple and strawberry in every corner store but this was the 4 time I had seen peach. I took it.
For the next few weeks, when I was 5 the need for a little treat, I would carefully 6 the lid and spoon a bit on to a biscuit. Mmm, delicious. I didn’t 7 it with anybody. It sat safely in my 8 , taken out on only special 9 .
One cold and cloudy afternoon, while I was waiting for a local bus, it started to rain. Everybody scattered for 10 and so did I. But I was already wet through so I quickly searched through my pack for some 11 clothes.
In my hurry to 12 further discomfort, I forgot that the jar of jam was 13 in my clothing. One forceful yank (猛拉) and my 14 jar of jam crashed to the concrete ground, smashing into pieces.

My bus arrived shortly after and, as we drove off, I wondered if the jam would taste the same to me.

You want to have fun and adventure and so you decide to travel somewhere to do it. Sounds like a simple enough thing. And basically it is. But what is adventure? That is the key here and the answer can be different for different people.
For those who love sports, adventure travel can have a whole different meaning than for those who like history. The physical travel types that you can find include such adventure travel as white water rafting (白浪漂流), kayaking or climbing and hiking to some mountains somewhere. To the hiker, backpacking across Ireland might be their adventure. For this type of person, adventure travel almost always includes something physical. Often the goal is to push their body’s limits and test their individual endurance (耐力).
For those who less want to climb mountains, adventure travel might mean traveling to Nepal and taking in the local festivals. Wine tasting in Italy is also vacation adventure for the more relaxed traveler who enjoys peace and comfort. Anything that is opposite to the normal scope (范围) of the traveler’s lifestyle defines (定义) adventure.
Adventure travel is not necessarily a one-size-fits-all type of vacation. Adventure depends on the person’s physical limits, how much money the person has and what the person enjoys doing. Going beyond the normal is adventurous for many. If your life is quite busy, then sitting on a beach in the moonlight with your family might be adventure for you. The point is not what you do but that you have a good time and that it is an adventure for YOU — not for the person next to you.
Do not sit home this year when vacation time rolls around. Go beyond your normal routine and try something new. If you usually spend your vacation sun-bathing on a beach, try hiking, instead, through the mountains. Look around you, think beyond your comfort zone and head out on an adventure vacation.
【小题1】For a quiet traveler, he is most likely to choose _________.
A.backpacking across a country |

When most people travel, they spend some time booking hotel rooms. However, my friend Ashley and I were not like most people many years ago. We decided that backpacking through Ireland would be more fun if we “winged it”.
Winging it, of course, meant that we’d each buy a one-way ticket to Dublin, and give ourselves ten days to get back to Bath, England, where we were enrolled in a study-abroad program. The plan was to visit Dublin, Galway, Cong, and finally end things in Belfast, where we figured we could catch a flight back to England.
Unfortunately, Ireland had other plans for us, as nothing worked out the way in which we thought it would. After getting stuck in Galway and Cong for about seven days, we finally managed to take a bus trip from Cong to Belfast. The twelve-hour bus ride started at ten in the morning, which meant that we’d arrive in the heart of Belfast at around ten at night. Of course, like all transport, the bus ran late, and we ended up in Belfast at around eleven-thirty at night. As there were a ton of hotels around the area where it dropped us off, we weren’t too worried about finding a hotel room. But hotel after hotel turned us down.
After the third hotel turned us down and the fourth one was locked up for the night, Ashley and I started to realize that we had to spend a long night sleeping on a city bench. Like militant soldiers, we slept in turn as we were worried we would get robbed. The system worked, as we were able to stay safe while catching as much sleep as we could on the bench.
From this experience, I really learnt a good lesson.
1.Why did the author and his friend decide to wing it when they went to travel in Ireland? (No more than 8 words)
2.What did the author and his friend do in Bath, England? (No more than 8 words)
3.How long did it take the author and his friend to get to Belfast from Cong by bus? (No more than 5 words)
4.Why did the author and his friend have to take turns to sleep? (No more than 8 words)
