218928. （2022•周至四中•高二下二月） To personal trainer Sammy Callari，13-year-old Parker Seward is more than a client（客户）.He's his "little brother".Over the past year，the pair have bonded.They play basketball together，share meals and dance to hip-hop like no one's watching.
   The trainer was asked to work with the 13-year-old boy，who has Down syndrome（唐氏症），because his coworker who dealt with the boy was out of town last spring.Callari had never worked with someone with a disability before.He was anxious the first day he met Parker.But Parker's big smile and cheery introduction immediately put him at ease.He reminded Callari of himself when he was a teenager.Like Parker，Callari has also faced his fair share of challenges over the years.
   As a high schooler，Callari described himself as being the weak kid.When it came to sports，he was always overlooked.His dream of playing baseball in college quickly faded away.When he went to college，Callari turned to a new sport.His younger brother trained him to become a boxer.Callari participated in five matches.Out of four of those fights he was the underdog，and he won three times. "I know how it feels，" Callari said. "Society tells you that you can't do this，you can't do that." When it comes to Parker，Callari refuses to accept the word "can't".
   The friends meet twice a week to train.They bike，box，run and work on their core with push-ups.Parker has a short attention span，so it's Callari's job to keep him focused. "If Parker can do it，if he's having fun，even with his frustration，then people will ask， "Why can't I do that？" Callari said. "That's the whole task right now."
   Callari recalls Parker's mom once thanking him for taking a "chance" on her son.Callari told her he never viewed it that way.Parker may be the student，but Callari says he's also the one who's learning.

（1）B.推理判断题。由下文So how do you avoid a traffic jam in Toronto？（那么在多伦多如何避免交通堵塞呢？）可知本文主要是讲多伦多的交通堵塞情况，作者说上班的路上不是很愉快，是说他们上班经常遭遇堵车。故选B。
（2）A.段落大意题。根据最后一段Friday traffic in Toronto is quite fast in the early morning，with only a few hot spots showing up at the major junctions （交叉点） at 7：00 am.The morning traffic jam starts light at 7：30 and the traffic gradually slows down to reach a breaking point at 8：30.The roads are quite free afterwards，only Allen Road is likely to be jammed around lunchtime from 11 ：30 am to 12：00 noon.It comes as no surprise that Friday afternoon brings heavy traffic as early as 1：00 pm，mainly on the Don Valley Parkway.You won't have a good time getting away from the city from 4：00 pm to 6：30 pm，as there is a good chance to get caught in a traffic jam.The traffic in Toronto is quite heavy on a Friday night.I hope you will have a nice Friday night in the city and a safe journey home this Friday！（周五早上多伦多的交通相当快，只有几个热点出现在早上7点的主要路口。早晨的交通拥堵在7：30开始，在8：30交通逐渐放缓，达到一个爆发点。之后的道路是相当自由的，只有艾伦路可能在午餐时间11：30到12：00之间拥堵。周五下午1点就会出现交通拥堵，这并不奇怪，主要是在唐谷公园大道上。从下午4点到6点半离开城市，你不会玩得很开心，因为很有可能会遇到交通堵塞。多伦多星期五晚上的交通相当拥挤。希望你周五晚上在城里过得愉快，平安回家!）可知，最后一段讲述周五早上多伦多的交通相当繁忙，艾伦路可能在中午11：30到中午12：00左右被堵住，登谷公园大道从下午4：00到6：30可能堵车，因此推断本段主要讲述多伦多在一个平常的星期五的交通情况。故选A。
（3）D.细节理解题。根据末段的You won't have a good time getting away from the city from 4：00 pm to 6：30 pm，as there is a good chance to get caught in a traffic jam.（从下午4点到6点半离开城市，你不会玩得很开心，因为很有可能会遇到交通堵塞。）下午4：00到6：30之间最容易交通堵塞，故选D。
（4）C.文章出处题。根据第二段的You can click them and watch.（你可以点击它们观看。）可推断本文来源于某个网站。故选C。

204241. （2023•长安区一中•高二上期末） As Valentine's Day approaches，many people with dogs will not care one bit whether they get a card.A survey by the Kennel Club has found almost one in five said they were so attached to their pet because 'dogs don't let you down' in the same way that other people might.
   Hollywood legend Glenn Close took her Havanese dog Pip to the Oscars last year，describing her pet as 'the best date a girl can have'.Comedian Miranda Hart and racing driver Lewis Hamilton have gone on holiday with their dogs，and actor Ryan Gosling has taken his cross-breed George，who he describes as 'the great love of my life'，to chat shows for moral support.
   This could be due to the numerous benefits that come with dog ownership—from the psychological to the physical.Dogs help their owners unwind，whether that's with a daily walk in fresh air，or with a cuddle（依偎） on a sofa.They can also be great listeners，help their owners release stress，and can play a part in improving their health and fitness.
   Nevertheless，for those dog owners who are still looking for love，the research suggests their pet might help.More than a fifth of those questioned said they had been asked out on a date with their dog appearing best for attracting a potential partner.Among those responding to the survey，21 percent said they were more likely to date someone who also had a dog.
   Mr.Lambert said，"This is quite unsurprising when you consider that dogs are a great ice-breaker，when strangers may otherwise not look twice at each other，and that we tend to have more associations about people who love dogs."
   People who owned a pet dog were also very likely to say their pet may have helped them out romantically.

（1）What is paragraph 2 mainly about？
A．Summarizing the previous paragraph.
B．Providing some advice for the pet owners.
C．Introducing some celebrities to the readers.
D．Giving some examples to support the view above.
（2）What does the underlined word "unwind" in paragraph 3 probably mean？
A．Focus.
B．Relax.
C．Recover.
D．Participate.
（3）Why is dating out with a pet dog more appealing？
A．It comforts the strangers.
B．It is the best friend of mankind.
C．It is a bridge between the parties.
D．It makes the conversation romantic.
（4）What is the author's attitude to the company of a pet dog？
A．Doubtful.
B．Positive.
C．Reserved.
D．Disapproving.

205254. （2021•阎良区•高一下期末） Louise Gluck has been no stranger to awards over her long and storied career，since her first publication in 1968.In 1993，she won the Pulitzer Prize for her collection of poems，The Wild Iris.And on Oct 8，she became the 16th woman to win the Nobel Prize in literature with the Nobel prizes first awarded in 1901.
   Gluck was honored for her unmistakable poetic voice that，with simple beauty，makes individual existence universal.Often said to be an autobiographical poet，drawing from the inner parts of her life， "Gluck is not to be regarded as a confessional（忏悔）poet.She seeks the universal，" Nobel Committee Chair Anders Olsson said in a statement.
   Gluck，77，the author of 12 poetry collections，has been able to turn her life experiences into universal themes covering life，loss and isolation （孤独）.Because of this，readers have often found her poetry to be "dark".However，there is much more than darkness in her voice，as noted by Olsson. "It is direct and ...also a voice full of humor，" she said.
   For example，in her poem Snowdrops，she uses the coming of spring after winter to show rebirth of life after death.She leads readers down a depressing path only to reconnect with the light at the near end.At the conclusion of the poem，readers are left to feel the "cool wind of the new world" as they watch a new spring.This is often the case in Gluck's poetry，being able to feel joy even after not having done so for a long time.
   Although she's already a well-known writer，experienced in exploring pain and healing（愈合），Gluck did feel honored to be given the famed Nobel award.However，when asked what the prize means to her，the lyric poet responded by saying， "It's too new...I don't know really what it means." Her only hope is that she can preserve her daily life.

（1）What do we know about Louise Gluck？
A．She had her first collection published in 1993.
B．Her poems are based on life experiences.
C．The Wild Iris won her the Nobel Prize.

（2）What does Olsson think of Gluck's poems？
A．They are too dark for readers.
B．They focus on individual existence.
C．They are frank and humorous in style.
D．They are mainly about human personality.
（3）Why does the author mention Snowdrops in Paragraph 4？
A．To show the features of Gluck's poetry.
B．To introduce the main plots of this poem.
C．To describe Gluck's creativity in choosing themes.
D．To explain Gluck's purpose in writing Snowdrops.
（4）How does Gluck feel about winning the Nobel Prize？

219516. （2020•西安中学•高三上四月） A Fluent Advantage When schools go through budget cuts，foreign language classes are often placed on the cutting block.School administrators often do not understand how important foreign language study is for their students' success in the real world.Far from cutting language classes，schoolould be demanding them for all students.Studying a foreign language should be required in middle schools.
   Language study strengthens students' minds.Many studies have indicated that multilingual people-people who speak more than one language-are better at certain tasks.Specifically，multilingual people have better executive function than people who speak only one language.Executive function is the way the brain manages all the information it's given，such as performing different tasks and deciding what to focus on.In brain scans，multilingual people show increased activity in the areas of the brain that control executive function.Researchers have guessed that this advantage exists because multilingual people must constantly decide which words from which language to use.As a result，multilingual people get lots of practice with executive function.Their brains can then apply those skills to other tasks，like paying attention or multitasking.This effect is especially strong for people who grow up speaking more than one language.The earlier students start language classes，the more benefits they may get from language study.
   Moreover，language study helps prepare students for their future careers.Today，language skills are in high demand on the job market and more and more businesses work in many countries across the world.As businesses become global，they need people who can communicate easily across national borders.To prepare for their careers，more studentould be learning foreign languages.From 2010 to 2015，the demand in the United States for workers who speak a second language doubled.This trend included workers of all skill levels and backgrounds.
   Of course，in order to make better use of the advantages of foreign language study，middle school foreign language classeould not just make students memorize new words and sounds.
   They must also teach students about new cultures.Foreign language classeould be required to include lessons about history，literature，customs，and government along with the languages themselves.These subjects will help students become better global citizens and support their studies in other subjects.
   Requiring middle schoolers to study a foreign language offers them opportunities to sharpen their brains.It also gives them tools that will help them become productive members of today's global society.

（1）How does the author feel about foreign language study in middle schools？
A．More foreign language classeould be offered in middle schools.
B．Studying a foreign language should be a middle school requirement.
C．Foreign language classeould be cut because of the limited funds.
D．Taking a foreign language class in middle schoolould be a choice.
（2）The author believes        .
A．people's executive function improves after foreign language classes
B．people learn languages better as young people than when they are older
C．being able to work in another country doubles people's job opportunities
D．people who speak more than one language have better executive function
（3）What's the authors purpose of writing Paragraph 4？
A．To sum up his argument.
B．To put forward a solution.
C．To emphasize his point of view.

   Most high schools hold a freshman orientation before school actually starts，which is helpful not only because you can know your way around the building and get to meet some of your teachers，but also because you get to meet fellow freshmen.That way，when you show up on your first day of school，you may already recognise a few familiar faces.When you talk to your new classmates，you'll probably find that a lot of them are feeling just like you are.They're all new to the school and don't know what to expect.Talking about a common concern with them can help you develop friendships.

   High school also has more extracurricular activities than middle school does such as clubs，music and theatre groups and sports teams.This is a good time to explore your interests and try new things.

205294. （2021•阎良区•高二下期末） 15-year-old Max produced the Vybpro，a wearable wristband（腕带）which warns users whenever they are about to touch their faces.The gesture has been recognized as one of the key ways that COVID-19 can be spread，making it a potentially life-saving invention.
   He first hit on the excellent idea two years ago for the purpose of reducing the spread of the cold and flu.After both of Max's parents were infected with COVID-19 four months ago，however，he put in all his effort to develop a working prototype （模型）.
   Worn on both wrists，the intelligent device is expected to sell for ￡ 89.It uses position-sending technology algorithms （算法）to tell between predicted face touching and other hand motions.Then the device warns users of hand gestures that are dangerously near the face.
   "We came up with the concept a few years ago when my family was repeatedly catching cold and flu viruses from traveling in and out of London and I could see how easy it was to pick up germs especially from using public transport，" said Max. "It was only when the World Health Organization（ WHO） began suggesting people avoid touching their eyes，noses and faces to stop the spread of viruses from contaminated surfaces did I realize that it could play a part in slowing the spread of COVID-19. "
   Max，who is from Bristol，launched a ￡ 60，000 crowdfunding campaign （众筹活动）on Kickstarter earlier this week to further his project and turn the prototype into a public reality.The main task of this project is not to make money，but to get it onto the wrists of those it can help keep safe.Any profits made from early sales through the crowdfunding site will be reinvested into providing free devices for organizations that help people such as National Health Service（NHS） staff and nursing homes.

A．To prevent the spread of the cold and flu.

217935. （2023•师大附中•高一上二月） There is a well-known saying that was originally popularized by a 1980s cartoon series called G.I.Joe：A Real American Hero.That saying is "Knowing is half the battle." At the end of every G.I.Joe episode，there would be a public service announcement，which gave safety tips and other important life lessons to kids.After that，a child would say "Now I know! " And an adult would end with， "And knowing is half the battle."
   If knowing is half the battle，then the other half must be doing. "Recent work in cognitive（认知的）science has demonstrated that knowing is a shockingly tiny part of the battle for most real-world decisions，" cognitive psychologists Laurie Santos and Tamar Gendler wrote to Edge.org.In other words，knowing something is likely not enough to overcome our brain's "built-in" reactions.It just simply isn't enough to result in behavioral change.Even if knowing isn't exactly half the battle，it is still important to "know".If you know about something，then it makes you more aware of it.This，in turn，is the first step to making a change.
   If you find yourself struggling to make some sort of change in your life，there are some steps you can take to help you turn your "knowing" into "doing".First，whether you want to improve your study habits，eat more healthily，or get more sleep，you should write your goals down.When you write down your goals，you document them on paper，which makes them clearer and easier to follow.Next，break down your goals so that they are easier to manage.Making bite-sized steps to achieve your goals will help motivate you to keep moving forward and complete more of these mini goals.Finally，find someone you can share your progress with.Having a friend，family member，or even an online app can help to keep you in check to make sure you get all of the support you need.
   It seems that "knowing is half the battle" is no more.So，put your energy into doing.There is no better time than the present，of course!

（1）What makes "Knowing is half the battle" popular？
A．Important life lessons.
B．G.I.Joe：A real American hero.
C．A public service announcement.
D．Recent work in cognitive science.
（2）What can we know from the saying "Knowing is half the battle."？
A．Knowing something is worthless.
B．Knowing is just the first step to making a change.
C．Knowing is the battle for most real-world decisions.
D．Knowing contributes to overcoming our brain's reaction.
（3）What is Paragraph 3 mainly about？
A．Some measures taken to follow your goals.
B．Some measures taken to share your progress.
C．Some measures taken to make knowing a reality.
D．Some measures taken to motivate you to move forward.
（4）What can we conclude from this passage？
A．Put knowing into action.

205226. （2021•长安区一中•高二上期末） Teenagers from low-income families in particular are more likely than their middle-class peers（同龄人）to do less well in schoolwork and to dropout of school.Studies have shown，however，that a positive attitude towards schoolwork and the support and encouragement from their parents can help at-risk youngsters to overcome the economic barriers and lack of resources they face.Most of the evidence about the effects of parental involvement（参与） comes from research on mothers.Little is known，however，about how teenagers experience their fathers' warmth and the beliefs and behavior that are most affected by it.
   This new study is part of a large one focusing on low-income families conducted in four middle schools in the southwestern United States.Researchers asked 183 sixth-graders about how optimistic and motivated they were about their schoolwork，and how they experienced their fathers' warmth.The students' maths and language arts grades were also gained.The research team took into account the influence that mothers have on their children's well-being in their analyses.
   Their findingow how fathers can support their teenagers in ways that result in greater optimism and higher achievement at school."Low-income fathers affect their teenagers' beliefs about themselves and their future，and these beliefs influence their achievement by increasing their determination to complete school tasks，" says Dr.Marie-Anne.
   These positive effects extend to both sons and daughters，although in different ways.Experiencing their fathers' warmth first influences daughters' sense of optimism，and then spills over into their feeling more determined and certain about their academic abilities.This in turn leads to better maths grades.There is a more direct link between their fathers' love and boys' belief in their ability to succeed in academy.

（1）What is more likely to happen to teenagers from low-income families？
A．They will be more determined to struggle.
B．They will have fewer happy things to share.

A．It is less effective than that of mothers.
B．It affects girls and boys in different ways.
C．It mainly applies to girls rather than boys.
D．It has a more direct effect on girls than on boys.
（4）Which of the following best explains "spills over" underlined in the last paragraph？

219570. （2020•西安一中•高一上一月） British men are couch potatoes.They spend nearly half their free-time watching TV.They watch more TV than women，do less homework，less charity work（慈善工作）and less childcare---but spend more time shopping，a poll（民意测验）suggests.Analysts（分析家）from Eurostat，the EU's statistical office，interviewed working men and women in 10 countries.
   Britain，where men devoted 49% of their free-time to the box，came a narrow second to the Hungarians with 51%.German and Norwegian men watched the least TV---just over one third of their spare time.
   The analysts took the average of the figures for the whole year including holidays and weekends.They broke down the "average day" into five categories（类）---free time，sleep，meals and personal care，travel，domestic chores（家务事）and work or study.It shows that British men have four hours and 41 minutes free time each day----20 minutes more than women.But women spend nearly double the amount of time on domestic chores than men.Almost three-and-a-half hours of a woman's day is taken up with domestic work，compared to less than two hours for men.
   Food preparation makes up the bulk（量）of the chores，with cleaning and shopping the next time-consuming.They further broke down the free-time and domestic categories to show that men spend 137 minutes each day in front of the TV，compared to women's 114 minutes.
   Women spend slightly more time socializing，resting and reading than men，but slightly less time on hobbies，sport and exercise.Universally unpopular with both sexes is culture（文化）---accounting for just 2%of both men and women's leisure（休闲） time.

205136. （2022•鄠邑区•高一下期末） People have used pigeons to carry messages to one another for hundreds of years.In fact，pigeons were a common way to send messages right up through World War II.
   In 1815，English troops were fighting Napoleon's forces in France，and the English were believed to be losing.A financial panic swept over London.Government bonds（债券）were offered at low prices.Few people noticed that Nathan Rothschild，an English banker，was snapping up these bonds when everyone else was trying to sell them.A few days later，London learned the truth：the Duke of Wellington had defeated Napoleon at the battle of Waterloo.The value of the bonds soared （暴涨），and Rothschild became wealthy…all because his pigeons had brought him news of the victory before anyone else knew of it.
   Carrier pigeons were used by countries in both World War I and World War II.Not only were the birds often the fastest，most reliable way to send messages，they could also be used to reach soldiers far behind enemy lines，where radios and field telephone lines were useless.Since they could easily be released from airplanes or ships，every branch of the armed services used the birds.
   Carrying messages could be a dangerous job.Some pigeons performed with such bravery that they became famous and were even awarded medals.The most famous pigeon of all may have been Cher Ami.Stationed in France during World War I，he carried twelve important messages for American forces.On his last mission，though wounded，he carried a message that saved the lives of 194 American soldiers.For his amazing service，he was awarded the French "Croix de Guerre."
   Today，modern communication methods can carry information from one place to another hundreds of times faster than a pigeon could do it.However，few people would argue with the fact that carrier pigeons—especially those that served in the military—have earned their place in history.

（1）Nathan Rothschild made his fortune by        .
A．relying on messages sent to him by carrier pigeons
B．predicting successfully the result of the battle
C．his experience and a good knowledge of bonds
D．his ability to tell right from wrong
（2）What does "snapping up" mean in the second paragraph？
A．Giving away.
B．Destroying.
C．Throwing out.
D．Buying.
（3）The author provides dates and numbers throughout this text in order to        .
A．avoid mixing up the readers' minds when reading for information
B．prove that carrier pigeons are more important in modern times than in the past
C．show the influence of carrier pigeons at important points in history
D．explain the causes and effects of world events
（4）What is the author's attitude towards carrier pigeons？
A．Doubtful.
B．Negative.
C．Positive.
D．Unconcerned.

205099. （2022•蓝田县•高二下期末） The lack of clues left behind by ancient Americans has made it difficult for researchers to determine precisely when humans first arrived on the continent.However，it has always been believed to be about 13，000 years ago.Now，evidence from the Chiquihuite Cave in Zacatecas，Central Mexico，seems to suggest that prehistoric humans may have been living in North America as early as 30，000 years ago.
   Dr.Ciprian Ardelean，of the Autonomous University of Zacatecas who led the groundbreaking re- search，first became aware of the cave in May 2010.Getting to the cave located 2，750 meters above sea level required a 45-minute truck ride to the base and an uphill climb over a rough terrain.However，Dr.Ardelean and his team found enough clues to make the difficult journey three additional times-in 2012，2016，and -2017.
   The archeologists' efforts revealed many artifacts including over 1，900 stone tools from multiple layers of the cave.The scientists found that most of the tools were between 16，000 and 13，000 years old.However，239 artifacts unearthed from the deepest layer of the cave dated back an astonishing 30，000 years!
   While the genetic material gained in the cave was only plant and animal DNA，the team did find evidence of sulfur，potassium and zinc elements that could indicate human activities such as killing animals.Dr.Ardelean says the absence of human DNA confirms that the early people visited the cave for short periods of time.
   The researchers are unsure of the ancient humans' origins or the path they took to get to America.They guess the groups were tribes （部落）who moved from place to place and went extinct at some point during their migrations.Dr.Ardelean says， "We don't know who they were，where they came from or where they went.They're a complete enigma.We falsely assume that the native populations in the Americas to- day are direct descendants from the earliest Americans，but now we don't think that is the case. " Archeologist Loren Davis，from Oregon State University，is unsure that the artifacts recovered are tools.The researcher says， "If it's true that people were in Zacatecas 32，000 years ago，that changes everything-it more than doubles the time people have been in the Americas.I'm not going to say it's impossible，but if all they found are broken rocks without any hard evidence，it's natural for people to challenge the conclusion. "

（1）What did Dr.Ciprian Ardelean do？
A．He sold hundreds of artifacts.
B．He explored the cave four times.
C．He made the cave world-known.
D．He collected artifacts from the cave.
（2）What shakes the traditional belief concerning North America？
A．Metal elements unearthed from the cave.
B．Plant and animal DNA discovered in the cave.
C．The stone tools from the cave's deepest layer.
D．The artifacts from the upper layers of the cave.
（3）What does the underlined word "enigma" in Paragraph 5 mean？
A．Problem.
B．Breakthrough.
C．Appeal.
D．Mystery.
（4）In which column of a newspaper can we read this passage？
A．Archaeology.
B．Anecdote.
C．Economy.
D．Literature.

204962. （2022•阎良区•高二上期末） $德优题库$ Most kids grow up learning they cannot draw on the walls.But it might be time to unlearn that training-this summer，a group of culture addicts，artists and community organizers are inviting New Yorkers to write all over the walls of an old house on Governors Island.
   The project is called Writing On It All，and it's a participatory（参与式）writing project and artistic experiment that has happened on Governor's Island every summer since 2013.
   "Most of the participants are people who are just walking by or are on the island for other reasons，like they came for the jazz festival，or they just kind of happen to be there，" artistic director of Writing On It All，Alexandra Chasin，tells Smithsonian.com.
   The 2020 season runs through June 26.Each session（会期）has a theme，and participants are given a variety of materials and prompts and asked to cover surfaces with their thoughts and art This year，the programs range from one that turns the house into a short piece of collaborative（合作的） writing to one that explores the meaning of exile（流亡） .
   Governor's Island is a national historic landmark district long used for military purposes.Now known as "New York'ared space for art and play，" the island，which lies between Manhattan and Brooklyn in Upper New York Bay，is closed to cars but open to summer tourists who come for festivals，picnics，adventures，as well as these "legal graffiti" sessions.
   The notes and art scribble on the walls are an experiment in self-expression.So far，participants have ranged in age from 2 to 85.Though Chasin says the focus of the work is on the activity of writing，rather than the text that ends up getting written，some of the work that comes out of the sessions has stuck with her.
   "One of the sessions that moved me the most was state violence on black women and black girls，" says Chasin，explaining that in the room，people wrote down the names of names of those killed because of it. "People do beautiful work and leave beautiful messages."

219290. （2022•铁路中学•高二下二月） Travelers to a new city are often encouraged to take a bus tour.The thinking is that they can later return to the places that attracted them，but that's nonsense!What you see from the inside of a fast-moving bus is sanitized（净化过的）and unreal，entirely removed from the real sights，sounds，and smells outside.
   The best way to experience any destination is on foot，without an itinerary，wandering where your spirit leads you.Even in the largest cities，the savvy（资深的） traveler plunges into the very center of town and walks down the nearest street，experiencing the actual life of the people while looking into the grocery stores and courtyard.You eventually get to many of the same sites that are on the bus route—the museums，the monuments，the city hall—but you will have witnessed so much more because you will have felt the contemporary life of the city you're visiting.
   "But what if I get lost？"people ask.No one ever gets permanently lost in a major city.Eventually，a trolley or a bus passes with the words "Central Station" on its front and you can easily return to the center of town.Besides，the most wonderful things can happen if you do get lost，such as stopping at a sidewalk cafe to sit and relax and then asking directions from the locals at the next table.Hopefully，your trip may be attractive by this encounter.Here are a few ways to make the most of your travels：
   Know before you go.Before you depart，spend time in a library or bookstore，learning about the history and culture of your destination so you will better understand the place you're visiting.
Move around like a local.Use the local subways，trams and buses.You'll not only save money，but also learn how people live there，and you'll gain a realistic perspective of the city.
   Check the bulletin board.Bulletin boards list free lectures，concerts，workshops and social gatherings，giving you a chance to join or meet the area's most dynamic residents.
   Take a walking tour.If you must book a guided tour，select the nonstandard，inexpensive kinds conducted on foot.
   So，the next time you feel lured by a sightseeing bus tour，save your money and instead，wander around on your own.I promise you a time you'll remember fondly.
