After high school or university, you can plan a European backpacking trip. Packing As you plan the tings you will carry, bring a set of warm clothes and a raincoat or an umbrella to deal with frequently changing in different European countries. Europeans tend to dress nicely, and good quality clothes will make you feel less like a dusty backpacker. It is not worth taking the trouble to bring a hair dryer or shampoo, as you can buy basic necessities in Europe. Hostels The cheapest places to sleep when backpacking in Europe are hostels( where people can stay and eat fairly cheaply). If you are travelling alone, they are a good place to meet other people. Most hostels have a wealth of information about low-cost ways to see local attractions, and many other tours. The cost for hostels beds varies by country. In Paris, you might pay 30 euros, but in Bulgaria, you can get a bed for 10 euros. In general, hostels are more expensive in large, popular cities such as Paris, Rome and London. Transportation Many backpackers use rail passes, which allow unlimited travel within a group of countries over a period of time. If you have time to travel by train and will be travelling in a country group, this can be a good deal. Otherwise, you may consider point- to -point tickets, local trains, buses and airlines such as Ryanair, easyJet and WizzAir, which offer budget flights(廉价航班）. Food Eating out in Europe can e with a high cost, and the best way to cut your food budget is to cook meals in the shared kitchens in hostels. You can make several meals into picnics to take advantage of Europes parks. When shopping for your picnic, try and buy at a local market. You can save some euros while supporting the local industry at the same time. When eating out, choose restaurants away from tourist attractions, which tend to be more expensive. 21.When traveling in Europe, you are advised to_.A.care about your clothes. B. carry more basic necessitiesC. Use shampoo from your country D. buy a raincoat or umbrella there22. Which of the following is an advantage of hostels ?A. They help hold important meetings.B.

However, they need to know that iPod is just a product of Apple Inc.The “iPod” is a name given to a series of music players produced by Apple Inc. The Apple iPod has been through several adjustments since its first appearance around a decade ago; and it certainly has advanced in features, styles, and more importantly the memory storage ability and sound quality. There are many people who use iPods every day, but do not have any idea as to who invented this. Some believe that the inventor is Steve Jobs.The original concept of the iPod was created by an Englishman named Kane Kremer, in the year 1979. He and his friends James Campbell made this device named IXI for which they registered a patent(专利） in England. It had a screen and a bottom for four-way navigation(导航）, like todays iPod. But it couldnt hold music for over a few minutes. In 1988, they were not able to pay the amount for renewal of the worldwide patent, and so the patent died.In xx, Apple got a team of the best designers and engineers to make an MP3 player to defeat the rest. Apple has had the reputation for making products on its own. However, the case of the iPod was an exception. The design of the iPod belonged to a pany named PortalPlayer, and the interface(界面) was taken from a pany known as Pixo.The name “iPod” was suggested by a non-Apple employee, Vinnie Chieco, who was a free writer. He remended the name keeping in mind the white EVA pods from the movie xx: A Space Odyssey. Later, Apple found out that the name I-Pod had already been trademarked by an International kiosk maker. However Apple brought the trademark name to themselves, changing the name “I-Pod” to the present “iPod”.Till now, there have been many versions of this music player. I hope, by now you might have got a fair idea regarding who invented the iPod.25. In many peoples view iPod_.A. is first designed and produced by Steve JobsB. can be only found in American market.C. belongs to any MP3 player producerD. has registered a patent in England successfully.26. who first had the idea of designing a product like present iPod ?A. Steve Jobs B. Kane Kramer C. James Campbell D. Vinnie Chieco27. The passage is mainly about _.A. the development of a trademark nameB. different versions of music playersC. the fashion of the present iPodD.
