Round the world tickets (RTWs)

These usually last a year and let you go to several destinations. These may be some restrictions（限制）on where you can go by air so it’s important to check out the terms and conditions of each deal and decide which one suits you best. A typical RTW for (usually) less than ₤1000 would be: London―Toronto―Honolulu―Fiji―Sydney―Hong Kong―London. You can get a preset RTW or make one up to yourself―this can be cheaper in some cases.

?Multi-stopover tickets

If you don’t want to go around the globe but want to see several different places, multi-stopover tickets can let you make several stopovers（中途停留）. For instance, your route could be: London―Singapore―Sydney―Bombay―London. Or it could be a lot more complicated with lots of flights within Australia for instance.

?Open jaw tickets

If you want to go to one destination by air and then travel overland and come back from another destination by air, you can buy an open jaw ticket. For instance, your route could be: London―Cairo―Nairobi―London (Traveling between Cairo and Nairobi by land).

?Air passes

If you want to travel around within one country or even one area you can buy air passes to cover one of the followings: the USA, Africa, Australia, India, the Far East, the Caribbean, South America and the Pacific. In some cases you may have to buy the air pass before you get to the country or area you want to travel in.

Short air passes last a week. Longer ones can last up to 2 months. Costs vary but start ₤150. Ask your travel agent for details.

?Spur legs

Spur legs let you go off on a detour（迂回路）on your way to your final destination. For example you might visit China on your way to Australia.

Even before my father left us, my mother had to go back to work to support our family．Once I came out of the kitchen, complaining, “Mom, I can't peel potatoes．I have only one hand.”
Mom never looked up from sewing．"You get yourself into that kitchen and peel those potatoes," she told me. “And don't ever use that as an excuse for anything again!”
In the second grade, our teacher lined up my class on the playground and had each of us race across the monkey bars, swinging from one high steel bar to the next．When it was my turn, I shook my head．Some kids behind me laughed, and I went home crying．
That night I told Mom about it．She hugged me, and I saw her "we'll see about that" look． The next afternoon, she took me back to school．At the deserted playground, Mom looked carefully at the bars．
"Now, pull up with your right arm," she advised．She stood by as I struggled to lift myself with my right hand until I could hook the bar with my other arm．Day after day we practiced, and she praised me for every rung （横档） I reached．I'd never forget the next time, crossing the rungs．I looked down at the kids who were standing with their mouths open．
One night, after a dance at my new junior high, I lay in bed sobbing．I could hear Mom come into my room．"Mom," I said, weeping, "none of the girls would dance with me．"
For a long time, I didn't hear anything．Then she said, "Oh, honey, someday you'll be beating those boys off with a bat．" Her voice was soft and weak．I glanced at her to see tears running down her cheeks．Then I knew how much she suffered on my behalf．She had never let me see her tears．
【小题1】Which of the following expressions can be used most suitably to describe Mom's attitude when she made the child peel potatoes?
A．Cruel．         B．Serious．   C Strict．          D．Cold．
【小题2】From the passage, we know monkey bars can help a child train ____．

Can a fish hear fishermen moving along the stream? What are the facts about the ability of a fish to see? Can they tell the difference between colors?

The sharp hearing of a fish has been proved by two scientists, who trained a fish to expect its food when it heard the sound of a whistle. And a slight sound two hundred feet away could drive fishes away. That should make fishermen start thinking.

One scientist had made experiments to prove fish can recognize different colors such as red, brown, yellow and green.

Fish also have an eye for different shapes. One scientist proved this by teaching fish to connect certain patterns with food. He used a small circle and a square. If the fish swam towards the circle, they received food as a reward. If they swam towards the square, they received nothing. The fish learned in time to go to the circle but not to the square. Does this mean that in time fish might learn to leave alone all food on hooks that they have seen often before? Here is something for all fishermen to think about!

These facts help to make more believable some of the “believe it or not” stories that have been told about fish. It is clear that fish have sometimes shown their ability to gain knowledge as man does. A good example of what we might call “thinking” by a fish is given by an experience of Dr. Andrew Gage. Fishing over a bridge, he hooked a fish. It struggled and dragged the line two hundred feet away before he stopped it. Then it swam back to the bridge. The clever fish then swam round a pile and, with a sudden push, broke the line. If the story ended there, one could say that the fish had freed itself by chance. However, Gage went on fishing. Below him he could see the fish that had broken loose. After another twenty minutes the fish again seized the food on the hook. This time it did not swim out but swam round one of the piles and again broke the line.

Many stories are told of the fish that get away and the clever “old hand” ones that can’t be caught. The more often a fish is nearly caught, the more difficult it will be to interest it next time.

1.The last two paragraph’s mainly discuss _________.

A. whether a fish can think as man does

B. how a fish could escape from danger

C. how to catch a fish more easily

D. whether a fish is believable

2. What’s the best title of the passage?

A. Fish can hear and see

B. How clever is a fish?

C. Fish can play tricks

D. How scientists help fishermen.

3.We can infer from the last paragraph that _________.

A. it’s difficult to catch fish;

B. fish are cleverer sometimes than fishermen

C. fish seem to learn by their experience

D. fewer people will be interested in fish
