How to plan Your TripPeople are always telling us that“getting there is half the fun”.But is it true? Is it always true? Of course, we can all remember many enjoyable trips we have taken. But havent we all taken a trip that wasnt fun at all? Can we ever forget the time when we just wanted to e home?The fact is, some people who travel for pleasure get no pleasure from it at all. Others, who travel because they must travel, have a lot of fun doing it. What makes one trip more enjoyable than another?The answer is planning. Any trip can be enjoyable if it is well planned. Every minute that you spend planning your trip may save you ten minutes of trouble during your trip. It may also add an hour of pleasure!MoneyBefore you take any trip, the first question to ask yourself is: How much can I spend? When you decide on a figure, write it down. Now you can decide where, when, and how to go. At home, you can find out what it costs to travel anywhere in the world. Just pick up the phone and call a travel agent(旅行社）.In Season(旅游旺季)，Off Season(旅游淡季)Many resorts(旅游胜地) and cities around the world are popular during some months of the year and less popular during other months. Find out if the places you are visiting have an “in” season and“off”season. This may help you to decide when you want to go.There are some very good reasons to travel during the off season. Usually everything is much cheaper. It is also less crowded, of course. If you dont have a lot of moneyor if you dont like crowds of tourists(游客)go in the off season.Some places are not as exciting during the off season. The weather may be too cold or too hot. The beaches may be closed. Hotels and restaurants(餐馆) ay be shut. Be sure to find out before you go.Passports(护照),Visas(签证) and Health Certificates(健康证明)It is not hard to get a passport, but you should ask for one a few months before you begin your journey. To get one you must have your birth certificate or another legal document(合法文件) o prove that you are a citizen(公民).Sometimes you need a visa to visit a country. If a visa is necessary, you can ask for one at the countrys embassy(大使馆）. Sometimes getting a visa takes many months, so it is very important to plan early. The same is true for health certificates. For this information it is a good idea to call or write the embassies. You may also get a lot of other useful information from them.Now that you have planned your trip, you are ready to take it. Should you expect any surprise? Of course you should. Lets just hope theyre pleasant ones!2. Future Travel: TeleportationScience has changed the way we live and the way we think. New inventions and discoveries have made it possible for us to think about the world in new ways. The means of transportationbikes, cars, airplaneswe use today are good examples. They are based on the idea that transportation means moving something from one place to anotheron a bike ,in a car or by plane. This takes time, of course, and we can only travel as fast as the laws of physics allow. It will be difficult to travel much faster than todays airplanes and to travel very far, such as to the stars or to other planets.Now, scientists believe that we might be able to send things from one place to another without actually moving them through space. This sounds strange, but a new way of transportation may bee possible in the future.Teleportation is a bination of sending information through telephones or the Internet and transportation. With normal transportation, for example by car or plane, a person or thing is moved from point A to point B. With teleportation, a person or thing is taken apart at point A and put together again at point B. If teleportation bees possible, we may be able to travel faster and farther than we could ever imagine.In the 1990s, scientists discovered that teleportation was possible. Experiments showed that teleportation could be done, but the thing being teleported was destroyed on the way. So far, scientists have only been able to teleport photonsparticles(粒子) hat carry lightand laser beams(激光).What about teleportation of human beings? Teleporting a human being would be very difficult since there are so many parts in a human body. Even the smallest mistake could cause serious problems with the persons mind or body.There is still a long way from being able to use teleportation to move human beings, but what we used to think was impossible does now seem possible. What we know and what we imagine often work together :the more we know, the more we can imagine, and the more we imagine, the more we can learn. Science is the tool that we use to make our dreams bee real and to build a new world with our ideas.Teaching Time: Four periodsThe First PeriodTeaching Aims:1.
