You can talk to friends who travelled to places; you can go and see a colour film about them; or you can read travel books.It seems that there are three kinds of travel books, the first are those that give a personal, subjective (主观的)idea of travels which the writer has got himself. Those books can be useful if the writers share their travelling experience with others. The second kind are those books which give objective (客观的)information of things to be done and seen. If a cultured person has written such a book about the facts of a place, then it is more useful. The third kind are those books which are called a guide to some places or other. If they are good, they will describe and explain the places in detail. Like the first kind, they can be interesting and exciting. But their main purpose is to help the reader plan his travel in the most practical way.Whatever kind of travel book you choose, you must make sure that the book does not describe everything as interesting, exciting or fantastic. You must also keep an open eye on its date of publication(出版)because travel is a very practical matter and many things change quickly in the 21st century. Finally, you should make sure that its easy to find the useful information for your travel.（1）The writer of the first kind of travel books gave his ideas after he .A . travelledB . read booksC . watched filmsD . surfed the Internet（2）The underlined phrase a cultured person means a person with .A . a good appearanceB . a good education(教育)C . a lot of experienceD . a lot of money（3）According to the passage, it is the best to read before travelling to a place of interest.A . the first kind of travel booksB . the second kind of travel booksC . the third kind of travel booksD . some travel articles in newspapers13. （10分） Every day when I enter the classroom, I will take a look at the wall beside my seat.

Take a good look at it, and you will get to know the real feelings and thoughts of us, the 9th graders.In the middle of the wall, there is a big “VICTORY”. It was written in pencil. I guess it must have been written by someone who got a good mark in an exam.A little higher above the formulas, there is a poem. It only has two sentences. It reads: All those sweet memories have disappeared. Like tears dropping in the heavy rain.Oh! It must have been written at the end of the last semester in middle school. Classmates had to leave school and good friends had to part. What a sad poem!If you look at the wall more carefully, you will find many other interesting things, like a crying face, or a happy face, and other patterns(图案). There are still some patterns and letters that I cant understand, but they all show the feeling of the students who drew them.For years, the wall has witnessed(目睹) all the things that have happened in the classroom. I dont know how it will be next year, two years from now, or even ten years from now.

Reporters return, type their stories into the computer and hand them to the editor.The chief editor decides which will be the most important story on the front page. Sometimes this will have to be changed if something more important happens late in the day. Other editors read the stories which the reporters have written and make any necessary changes.Finally, there is no more time left for adding new stories, and the time for printing(印刷) the newspaper has come. This is done on fast-moving printing machines. The newspapers are then delivered(发送) by truck, plane or rail. Speed is important.
