Part II Reading Comprehension (Skimming and Scanning) (15 minutes)A Few Aspects of American LifeTravelIt’s summertime. For many Americans, this is the season to travel. Why? Because school is over and the weather is great. And most of all, they believe they deserve a break. When
break, they often head for their favorite vacation spot.Throughout their history, Americans have been people on the move. The early immigrants had to travel to get to the New World. Once they arrived, the settled along the East Coast. But they weren’t content to stay here. Explorers and traders journeyed to the unknown western territories. Later, settlers moved west to develop new areas. As a result of this west movement, Americans eventually occupied the whole continent―from the Atlantic to the Pacific. Even today, Americans seem . Research says that average American moves every five years.Americans are used to traveling. Some people make long-distance commuting to work daily. Their jobs may even require them to take frequent business trips. Most companies provide an annual vacation for their employees, and people often use that time to travel. Some people just visit friend or relatives in distant states. Some go on low-budget weekend trips and stay in economy motels. Those with more expensive tastes choose luxurious hotels. Camping out in the great outdoors appeals to adventurous types. Some travel in recreational vehicles to camp out in comfort, while others “rough it” by sleeping in tents. Families often plan their trips with the kids in mind. More and more “family friendly” hotels offer special programs for children.
PetAmericans love pets. Many pet owners treat their pets as a part of the family. You might say Americans treat their pets like they treat their children―sometimes even better.In America, there are more households with pets than those with children. At least 43 percent of US homes have pets of some sort. Usual creatures, such as monkeys, snakes and even wolves, find a home with some Americans. More common pets include fish, mice and birds. But the all-time favorites are cats and dogs, even at the White House. Americans sometimes have strong feelings about whether dogs or cats make better pets. “Dog people” and “cat people” often enjoy friendly competition.Many grocery stores in America sell pet foods. Pets can even accompany their owners on vacation. Fancy hotels are beginning to accommodate both man and animal. Animal guests at Four Seasons Hotels can enjoy delicious meals served on fine china and sleep in soft beds.The average American enjoys having pets around, and for good reason. Researchers have discovered that interacting with animals lowers a person’s blood pressure. Dogs can offer protection
unwelcome visitors. Cats can help rid the home of unwanted mice. Little creatures of all shapes and sizes can provide friendship and love. In many cases, having a pet prepares a young couple for the responsibilities of parenthood. Pets even encourage social relationships: they give their owners an appearance of friendliness, and they provide a good subject of conversation.Pets are as basic to American culture as hot dogs or apple pie. To Americans, pets are not just property, but a part of the family.Marriage“I do.” To Americans, these two words carry great meaning. They can even change your life, especially if you say them at your own wedding. Making wedding promises is like signing a contract. Now Americans don’t really think marriage is a business deal. But marriage is a serious business.It all begins with engagement (婚约). Traditionally, a young man asks the father of his sweetheart for permission to marry her. If the father agrees, the man later proposes to her. Often he tries to surprise her by asking her to marry him in a romantic way.Sometimes the couple just decides together that the time is right to get married. They may be engaged for weeks, months or even years. As the big approaches, bridal (新娘的) showers and bachelor’s parties provide many gifts. Today many couples also receive counseling during engagement. This prepares them for the challenges of married life.At last it’s time for the wedding. Although most weddings follow long-held traditions, there’s still room for individualism. For example, the usual place for a wedding is in a church. But some people get married outdoors. A few even have the ceremony while skydiving or riding on horseback! The couple may invite hundreds of people or just a few close friends. They choose their own style of colors, decorations and music during the ceremony. But some things rarely change. The bride usually wears a beautiful, long white wedding dress. She traditionally wears “something old, something new, something borrowed and something blue”. The groom (新郎) wears a formal suit. Relatives and close friends participate in the ceremony.As the ceremony begins, the groom stands with the minister, facing the audience. Music signals the entrance of the beautiful bride. Nervously, the young couple repeats their promises. Traditionally, they promise to love each other “for better, for worse, for richer, for poorer, in sickness and in health”. But sometimes the couple composes their own promises. They give each other a gold ring as a symbol of their marriage promise. Finally the minister announces the big moment: “I now pronounce you man and wife. You may kiss your bride!”1.

London Travel Blog&&#8250;&entry 5 of 60 &#8250;
This guy was found sleeping.
For the last 2000 years.
Woke up at 3pm in Alex's hotel room floor.
Didn't I pay over $45 to stay at that shitty hostel in Holland Park last night?
Got my bag and checked into the only remaining hostel in the entire
area, coincidentally on the same block as Alex's hotel.
(I couldn't stay with Alex, because his grandma shared the same bedroom.
Third hostel in three days, and all within the same city.
Let me tell you how exciting it is to pack ALL your shit up every day and move to a brand new hostel because they dont' have more than a single day vacancy.My room at the new hostel is on the fourth floor, "and, uh, our lift doesn't work".
For those Americans out there: You're walking your ass up to the FIFTH floor.
Nice architecture inside the British Museum
Floor 0 is the "ground floor", and floor -1 is the basement.
I feel like doing unit conversions every time I enter into a elevator/lift.Went to the British Museum, and took a look around.
Half the sucker was closed, so we couldn't see the asia and south america exhibits.
Did see the Rosetta Stone and parts of the Panthenon from Athens.
(Yeah, the hotly-debated "elgin marbles").
The entire museum was basically short-man syndrome England flexing it's biceps showing the world how much "loot" they yanked out of their British Empire countries and transporting them back and putting them up on display in London.
Got some bagels, some creem cheese, a fifth of vodka, and some supermarket-brand diet lemonade.
Again for those Americans: diet half-soda-water, half-sprite.
It was delightful!
With food and drink in hand (discreetly, of course), we headed out to meet up with our friends Emma and Adam from the night before at The Cross, a house club who's DJ had us on the list to get in for free.
The Elgin Marbles (stolen from the Parthenon in Greece back when the English had a big empire).
Now they won't give them back.
15 pound cover waived (we checked).Showed up, not on the list.
HOSED.Alex can't get in because he doesn't meet the 21-yr-old age minimum.
HOSED.The Tube closes halfway home, forcing us to walk.
HOSED.Drunk girl puts us on the night bus home.
In the wrong direction.
HOSED.Got home 3 hours later because of lack of night bus service.
HOSED.The drunk girl offered to pay 20 pounds to put us in the cab before any of this happened, and we kindly refused to take her money, citing that we didn't do anything for her to deserve it.
Plus, the night bus was already free with our Tube pass.Next time a drunk girl offers me forty bucks (regardless of the situation), I'm taking that shit and RUNNING.
to leave comments, meet new friends and share travel tips!
