As you are soon on your way to Eastern Europe, here are a few tips on what you should pack. In general, pack lightly, with only the most basic clothes. People dress casually(隨便地) in Eastern Europe, so you don’t need to bring along your smartest clothing.

Batteries: If your camera, flash, or other appliances run on batteries, bring enough supply along. Certain types of batteries don’t exist in Eastern Europe, and those that do often don’t last very long.

Cash: We have found it good to have supply of small-unit U.S. bills($1and $5) to use in hard–currency stores, to buy international train tickets, etc. The hard–currency stores never seem to have the right change.

Electric Current Adapter(轉(zhuǎn)換器): If you bring any appliances, remember that the electricity in Eastern Europe uses 220 volts A.C., not the standard 110 volts of North America. A 110 volts appliance will soon burn out when attached to an unchanged 220-volt plug.

Language Tools: One of Europe’s biggest challenges is communicating with the local people since their languages are so different from our own. To help overcome difficulties, you might buy phrasebooks before you go — you won’t find them once you are in Eastern Europe.

Money Belt: A money belt is especially helpful when you have many documents to carry around ( as you always do in Eastern Europe). The best one we find is made by Eagle Greek Travel Gear, 143 Cedros Ave. (P. O. box 651), Solona Beach, CA 92075 (tel. 619/755 – 9399, or toll free 800/874 – 9925) outside California.

Traveler’s Checks: These are necessary. Bring your traveler’s checks in small to medium unit ($10, $20, or $50) to change a little bit at a time, so as not to be left with a lot of local money. To be on the safe side, be sure to copy down the check numbers in two places, just in case something happens to the checks.

1.How many tips are mentioned in the passage?

A．6                B．7                C．8                D．9

2.Which of the following things may be the biggest challenge in Eastern Europe?

A．Appliances.        B．Money.           C．Language.         D．Clothes.

3.Which of the following statements is NOT a fact according to the passage?

A. No shop in Eastern Europe accepts hard currency.

B. Travelers may need to carry many documents in Eastern Europe.

C. The electricity in Eastern Europe uses 220 volts A.C.

D. Eastern European languages can be a problem to foreign travelers.

4.What’s the writer’s purpose of writing this passage?

A．To tell you it’s not easy to stay in Eastern Europe.

B．To give you some advice on what you should pack when you’re in Eastern Europe.

C．To tell you something about the life in Eastern Europe.

D．To show you the life in Eastern Europe is different from that in your country.

5.What do the underlined words “change” and “check” probably mean according to the given dictionary entries(詞條)?

change

1. [V] to become different 改變；變化

2. [V] to exchange money into the money of another country 兌換

3. [U] the money that you get back when you have paid for sth giving more money than the amount it costs 找給的零錢；找頭

check

1. [V] to examine sth to see if it is correct, safe or acceptable 檢查；審查

2. [C] an act of making sure that sth is safe, correct or in good condition by examining it 檢查；查看

3. [C] a printed form that you can write on and sign as a way of paying for sth instead of using money 支票

A．1; 3              B．3; 3              C．2; 3              D．2; 2

You have probably heard it before, most likely from your English teacher. If you want to become a good writer, read good writing. Unluckily, you may not have understood what did good to you and even what you were supposed to get from that experience.

As you start reading a book, poem, or story, do so with no thought at all and the experience will improve your writing. Just read for pleasure to begin with, or to learn. As you progress through the work, think about whether it is “easy” reading or not. Do you become so interested in the subject and flow of the writing that you completely forget the person who wrote it, or does the composition sometimes call too much attention to itself through words and phrases that seem out of place or unexpected? The second situation is a chance to learn from the writer’s mistakes. In fact, the reader should not have to worry about how a writer does “his thing” ... he should be able to just enjoy and learn. Every time a word strikes you as poorly chosen, stop to consider why it has this effect. Also, do not spend a lot of time analyzing (分析) the passage but put more efforts in enjoying it from the whole.

Another thing I do, particularly with nonfiction (非小說) books, is to select a part to read as if it is a completely separate work. Once again, read as a common reader rather than a critic (批評家). For learning how words and phrases work together on the most basic level, however, nothing is more suitable than devoting yourself to reading poems. A poet is often trying to put a book’s worth of meaning and feelings into lines, and every side of the work shows a very close attention to craft (工藝).

As you can see, there is no simple way of reading to improve your writing. The key is not to make it boring. Select writers you admire or like most, and enjoy their works as anyone else would. As long as you are reading, you are improving yourself as a writer.
