浙江外研版初中英语九年级下学期Module 1 Unit 1 同步练习

    Travel can teach kids more than a textbook. Travelling with kids is good them. They can find new interests. Travel makes information alive for kids, and makes it much  (exciting) than studying textbooks or doing experiments in the lab. While travelling, they learn to deal with new situations, and communicate with other people. They learn patience, because sometimes  takes a long time to get to some exciting or interesting places.

    I've been travelling since I was seven years old. For me, to stop (travel) would be like taking something away from my soul(灵魂). I can't live  (with) travelling. Some people think it's hard to travel after having kids. But in my opinion, when people become parents, it doesn't mean they couldn't travel any more. My children have been travelling . They were three weeks old.

     (bring) a new life into the world comes with many responsibilities(责任) and I'd love to be a good mother. One of my duties is to educate my children. I'm so thankful my parents took me on family trips when I was young. I've learned that the outside world is more colorful than the little one I was living in. Of course, I want to pass these travel (experience) on to my children.

    Tony Wheeler was born to travel. His father worked for an airline. For the first 16 years of his life,Wheeler and his family lived in many different countries.

    In the early 1970s,Tony met a young woman named Maureen. They soon married. Before getting jobs, Tony and Maureen wanted to travel. They took a year long trip from England, through Asia, to Australia. On the trip,they visited places like Iran(伊朗),India,and so on.

    When Tony and Maureen arrived in Australia, people asked many questions about their trip. To answer these questions, Wheeler wrote a book called Across Asia on the Cheap. The book told people about different countries' weather, customs (风俗), and places to see. But unlike other travel books then,Tony Wheeler's book also talked about places most tourists did not go. He also wrote about unusual things to see and do. The book was very popular.

The company has over 650 books. Tony Wheeler,the great traveller, still writes about travels to many places and will bring us more surprises.
