26、Want to travel easily? Here are some tips that help you reduce the size of your luggage.

Roll clothes instead of folding（折叠）them. Many people try to fold their clothes into their little suitcase. 【1】 Actually, It is more wise to roll your clothes rather than fold them. Starting from the bottom, roll up your clothes into very tightly packed cylinders（柱体）which you can put on top of each other.

Use vacuum bags（真空袋）, when possible. 【2】 Buy some vacuum bags and seal all of your clothes up tightly. This will reduce the size of your items greatly and allow you to take more of what's needed.

Always take travel bottles. Even though you are allowed to take full sized bottles in your suitcase, to make sure that you are under the weight allowance, it's recommended that you still stick to travel-sized bottles. 【3】 Besides, it will also prevent you from wasting any product. If you do run out of anything while you are on holiday, you can always buy more.

【4】 If you do need to take a coat, you can wear it on the journey so you don't have to pack it in your suitcase. Another method you can use is wearing multiple layers（多层衣服）on the journey although this isn't always the most comfortable.

Research the weather in advance. A great way to prevent packing clothes that you won't end up wearing is to research what the weather is going to be like where and when you go on holiday.

【5】 You can know how hot it's likely going to be, as well as how much rain on average the destination receives each month.

A．It will free up enough room for you.

B．Don't put any shoes in your suitcase.

C．It will make your suitcase much lighter.

D．Purchase a high and soft-sided suitcase.

E．Wear anything that takes up a lot of room.

F．This is not the best way to pack your holiday goods.

G．There are plenty of websites offer weather information.

27、Travel allows us to experience the world. But as we travel, we are also leaving our footprint on every place we visit. This is why culturally immersive (沉浸) travel is so important. Because the wrong kind of travel negatively affects the world. One of the reasons we started this blog was to help others travel better and feel comfortable getting off the beaten path, interacting with locals, and take you “Beyond the traditional Bucketlist”, if you will.

People who only get 2-weeks off per year are often just looking for an easy destination with a beach to relax on. This isn’t travel. This is a vacation. But “Immersive Travel” or “Cultural Travel” is an entirely new type of trip. It is about experiencing and preserving the various traditions around the world. It’s about being open to new experiences and willing to step into another’s shoes. Cultural travel is jumping in with both feet and leaving your idea about what your trip should be behind you. It’s eating local dishes and sleeping in guesthouses. It’s building genuine connections with locals. It’s learning about the history of a country and leaving your trip with a greater understanding of the place you came to see and the people who live there.

Often times in today’s age, “travelers” will visit a country just to snap some photos of the famous sights to post on Instagram or to drink the night away, or even just to relax on a tropical beach. But that kind of vacation can be harmful to the very communities you’re traveling to.

Beyond supporting the local communities and the preservation of local customs and traditions, you’ll also experience some personal benefits through cultural travels. There’s simply no way to travel this way with a closed mind. You’ll get to know different cultures intimately and understand them a lot better. You’ll also become less judgmental of others the more you travel.

【1】What’s the author’s purpose in writing the first paragraph?

A．To stress the negative influence of travel.

B．To describe the importance of cultural travel.

C．To recommend a totally different type of travel.

D．To convey his unique feelings about cultural travel.

【2】According to the author, today's travelers tend to_________.

A．establish close connections with the locals during the travel

B．choose a tourist attraction for adventure and exploration

C．show more interest in the history of a travel destination

D．post the photos taken in the journey on the social media

【3】What can be inferred about the culturally immersive travel?

A．It is focused on studying local people's lifestyle.

B．Its travelers should be open-minded and understanding.

C．It is a specific way to make judgments of other cultures.

D．Its major concern is preserving local traditions and customs.

【4】Where is the text probably taken from?

A．A travel brochure.

B．A blog post.

C．A historic magazine.

D．An encyclopedia website.

28、A few years ago, David, a top manager, thought his life wasn’t moving forward. So he started to set himself 30-day challenges. The idea was simple: think of something you want to add to your life — or to give up — and try it every day for 30 days.

David began with easy projects like going to work by bike, not watching TV and giving up sugar. Then he tried more difficult ones, like writing a novel in 30 days. David learned that if you do something for 30 days, it can become a habit. If you stop doing something for 30 days, you can break the habit. As he did harder challenges, he got more confident. He learned that he could do something if he really wanted to do it. After doing the challenges for a few months, he had enough confidence to climb the highest mountain in Africa.

David gave an online talk about how the challenges changed his life. More than 5 million people around the world have watched his talk and the 30-day challenge quickly became very popular.

A．A Working Report

B．The 30 Day Challenge

C．An Important Message

29、   Unluckily, there are some rules that teenagers should be allowed to learn in school, but not. They are important to teenagers, although not all of them have to do with their subjects.

Rule 1: Life is not fair. Try to learn to get used to it. Many people won’t understand the real meaning of this rule until they’ve failed to find fairness again and again.

Rule 2: The real world won’t care about you as much as your school does. It will expect you to learn to understand the real world after you leave school. Then you’ll be sure of what to do with real world.

Rule 3: If you think your teacher is terrible, wait until you get a boss. Your boss won’t ask how you feel about your work and will never give you more care or help. He’ll only care about how much money you can help him earn.

Rule 4: TV is not real life. Your life is not a sitcom (情景喜剧). Your problems won’t be solved in 30 or 45 minutes. In real life, people usually have to leave the coffee stores to look for jobs.

Rule 5: Smoking does not make you look cool. Instead, it makes you look moronic (低能的). At the same time, purple hair and pierced body parts make you look like a silly kid. A grown-up teenager should know how to be smart.
