Unit 3 Travel journalPaul Roberts, 15, lives in New York. Like thousands of other American students, he usually goes away to a summer camp during the school holidays. These camps are just for teenagers, without their parents, and Paul always has a great time. But this summer hes doing something different hes going on an adventure (冒险) holiday in Hawaii. He tells us about his plan, “Its a camping holiday for three weeks in Hawaii, for kids from 14 to 18. Im leaving on 23 July and coming back on 12 August.”First, were wellprepared and walking through the forest on an old native Hawaiian path. They say its very beautiful, with huge waterfalls and golden beaches.After this fiveday walk, were staying for two days in a valley on the Pacific Ocean. The main activity here will be surfing (冲浪). I dont know how to surf, but instructors will teach us how to do it, and Im really looking forward to this.Then the organizers are providing mountain bikes and were going for long rides about 30 miles a day, around one of Hawaiis volcanoes (火山). And on one day were meeting a local Hawaiian family and helping them to plant fruit trees on their farm.After that, were sailing for three days along the coast, and they say well have a chance to swim with dolphins and sea turtles! This sounds fantastic.Finally, were going out for three days in sea kayaks (小艇) were visiting sea caves and well be swimming and diving too.Every night for the three weeks, were camping in tents, usually on the beach. This isnt a holiday for everyone! They say you have to be fit, and of course you have to know how to swim and ride a bike. But I think its going to be a fantastic experience.Section_Warming Up & Reading Prereading原文呈现 读文清障JOURNEY DOWN THE MEKONGPART 1THE DREAM AND THE PLANMy name is Wang Kun. Ever since middle school, my sister Wang Wei and I have dreamed about taking a great bike trip. Two years ago she bought an expensive mountain bike and then she persuaded me to buy one. Last year, she visited our cousins, Dao Wei and Yu Hang at their college in Kunming. They are Dai and grew up in western Yunnan Province near the Lancang River, the Chinese part of the river that is called the Mekong River in other countries. Wang Wei soon got them interested in cycling too. After graduatingfrom college, we finally got the chance to take a bike trip. I asked my sister, “Where are we going？” It was my sister who first had the idea to cycle along the entire Mekong River from where it begins to where it ends. Now she is planning our schedule for the trip.ever since 自从；自以后dream about/of doing sth.梦想做某事persuadepsweId vt.说服；劝说 persuade sb.(not) to do sth. 说服某人(不)做某事that .是 that 引导的定语从句，修饰the river。get sb. interested in sth.使某人对某事物产生兴趣cycle saIkl vi.骑自行车graduate grdeIt vi.毕业，grdt n大学毕业生graduate from 毕业于finally faInlI adv.最后；终于本句是强调句型“It was . who .”，其中who可换为that。from . to .“从到”，from和to后均跟了where引导的宾语从句。schedule edjul；skedln.时间表；进度表vt.为某事安排时间沿湄公河而下的旅程第一部分梦想与计划第1段译文我叫王坤。从中学起，我姐姐王薇和我就一直梦想进行一次伟大的自行车旅行。两年前，她买了一辆昂贵的山地自行车，然后她说服我也买了一辆。去年她去看望了我们的表兄弟在昆明读大学的刀卫和宇航。他们是傣族人，在云南省西部靠近澜沧江的地方长大，湄公河在中国境内的这一段叫澜沧江，在其他国家(境内)叫湄公河。很快，王薇使表兄弟也对骑车产生了兴趣。大学毕业以后，我们终于有了机会骑自行车旅行。我问我姐姐：“我们要去哪儿？”首先想到要沿整条湄公河从源头到终点骑车旅游的是我的姐姐。现在她正在为我们的旅行制订日程表。I am fond of my sister but she has one serious shortcoming. She can be really stubborn. Although she didnt know the best way of getting to places, she insisted that she organizethe trip properly . Now I know that the proper way is always her way. I kept asking her, “When are we leaving and when are we coming back？” I asked her whether she had looked at a map yet. Of course she hadnt; my sister doesnt care about details. So I told her that the source of the Mekong is in Qinghai Province. She gave me a determined look the kind that said she would not change her mind.When I told her that our journey would begin at an altitude of more than 5,000 metres, she seemed to be excited about it. When I told her the air would be hard to breathe and it would be very cold, she said it would be an interesting experience. I know my sister well. Once she has made up her mind， nothing can change it.

We found a large atlas with good maps that showed details of world geography. From the atlas we could see that the Mekong River begins in a glacier on a mountain in Qinghai Province. At first the river is small and the water is clear and cold. Then it begins to move quickly. It becomes rapids as it passes through deep valleys， travelling across western Yunnan Province. Sometimes the river becomes a waterfall and enters wide valleys. We were both surprised to learn that half of the river is in China. After it leaves China and high altitude, the Mekong becomes wide, brown and warm. As it enters Southeast Asia, its pace slows. It makes wide bends or meanders through low valleys to the plains where rice grows.

It is surprising how few people really do this carefully. Once I arrived at the airport a few minutes after ten. My secretary had got the ticket for me and I thought she had said that the plane left at 10：50. When I arrived at the airport, the person at the departure desk told me that my flight was closed. Therefore, I had to wait three hours for the next one and missed an important meeting.The second rule is to remember that even in this age of credit cards (信用卡), it is still important to have some local money in cash (现金). Once I arrived at a place at midnight and the bank at the airport was closed. The only way to get to my hotel was by taxi but because I had no dollars, I offered to pay in pounds instead.“Listen! I only take real money！” the driver said angrily. You can imagine how terrible I felt at that moment.The third and the last rule is to find out as much as you can about the weather at your destination before you leave. I feel sorry for some of my workmates who travel in heavy suits and raincoats in May, when it is still fairly cool in London or Manchester, to places like Athens, Rome or Madrid, where it is already beginning to get quite warm during the day.语篇解读：本文为说明文，主要介绍了如何做好旅行的准备工作。1Where is the writer most probably from?ABritain.BThe USA.CItaly.
