I like travelling very much.They are wonderful adventures filled with new sights and experiences. And my wife and I have another trip in the planning stages．
We're home now and have settled back into our daily routine of life. I find that when I am at home, particularly for a while when we have just returned from a trip, I feel very comfortable. Perhaps it is because everything around me is familiar and the daily routine is so much the same and I can move through it almost without thinking.Perhaps it is because we can have meals at home instead of always being in restaurants, although it's nice to let someone else do the cooking, and because I can sleep in my own bed. There are times I think it would be nice to simply stop travelling and stay home．
Yet I guess I am probably a restless soul because I know that after I have been home for a while I will start to think about other places we might go and other things we want to see. We will travel again and we feel fortunate to be able to do so. Still, one of the best things about travelling for me is coming home. I'm very comfortable here at home even if it is difficult to say exactly why．
A. I enjoy local food while travelling．
B. I like being home，for whatever reason．
C. Perhaps it is because our friends are here．
D. And I enjoy my daily life at home so much．
E. It's lucky that my wife and I both love travelling.
F. The world is filled with people who are travelholic．
G. I have been fortunate enough to make trips to many countries.

If you're dreaming of visiting one of those picture-perfect European towns filled with old-world attractiveness and scenic beauty, here is a look at the most beautiful small towns in Europe.
Manarola
Manarola, Italy, is filled with rainbow-colored homes carved right into a wall of stone along the Mediterranean coast. This charming fishing town is famous for its unbelievable wine, and the paintings. There are no cars here, no traffic lights, or traffic noise. You can drive to Manarola, but you'll have to park just outside the town and then take a shuttle bus or walk in on foot.
Garmisch-Partenkirchen
Garmisch-Partenkirchen, Germany, is a fascinating mountain town. Once two separate towns, one Roman and the other Teutonic, the 1936 Winter Olympics forced them to combine, though the two sides still have different characters. The town dates back to 15 AD, filled with narrow, cobblestoned streets lined with historic three or four-story buildings painted with regional and religious scenes.
Marsaxlokk
The energetic trading port of Marsaxlokk, Malta, was built in 900 BC. Today, this pictures-like town is the main supplier of fish to the island nation that sits in the Mediterranean Sea. It has no modern buildings to ruin its appeal. With such quiet surroundings, including the traditional luzzu's (fishing boats), it's a particularly charming place to visit.
Portmagee, Ireland
In a country filled with beautiful towns, Portmagee, is a standout, sitting on the southwest coast of Ireland. This postcard-perfect seaside fishing town has a row of brightly colored buildings along with a rich and colorful history.

Wechat is becoming increasing popular. The other day, when I was walking by a food shop, I notice an old woman buying some food. She didn’t pay in cash. Instead of, she paid with WeChat. WeChat payment is becoming more and more popular. Why do people like to use WeChat payment? The main reason is because it is simple and convenience. What we need to do are to take out the cellphone, scan the QR code and pay the goods we buy. We don’t have to carry wallets with me any longer. WeChat payment, that has changed the way we shop, is created by Chinese. We each should be proud of be a Chinese. It shows to the world that Chinese people are creative.

At 27, after serving in World War II, I dreamed of owning a piece of land. So I moved from central Illinois to Shelbina, Missouri, and bought 236 acres for $6,000. The land was situated on a dirt road and was half farmland and half trees, with an old house that had no running water or electricity. Obviously, it was not what you'd call a perfect farm. But it was mine.
I was alone for the first time in my life, and I found it liberating. My days were filled from dawn until dusk with plowing and planting corn. Dinnertime came and went, and I barely remembered to eat.
I wouldn't say I was a great success at farming in Missouri. However, when I went to the store to buy some tools, I met a nice woman named Claudette working behind the counter. I also ran into her at St. Mary's Catholic Church in Shelbina each week. I found out later that her manager kept asking her about “that tall boy from Illinois living out in the country in an old house with no water, no electricity and no housekeeper.”
Claudette and her sister soon visited my farm and put up some curtains. To show my appreciation, I took Claudette out for a ride in my truck. We married in 1954 and have now been together for more than 62 years!
I later sold the Missouri farm for a $3,500 profit and bought 40 acres in Illinois. For many reasons, buying the Missouri farm was a good idea. I will always cherish memories of owning the farm and meeting my beloved.
（1）Why did the writer buy the Missouri farm?
A.To marry a nice girl.
B.To live a liberating life.
C.To have his own land.
D.To earn more profit.
（2）What was Claudette when the writer met her?
A.A manager.
B.A storekeeper.
C.A housekeeper.
D.A shop assistant.
（3）What can we learn about the Missouri farm?
A.It was well furnished.
B.It led to a happy marriage.
C.It was 40 acres.
D.It made a successful farmer.
