My brother and I were not very excited when we realized what my mother meant. What she meant was not that we could take drawing classes or painting classes but that we would have to spend one afternoon a week with her at the Fine Arts Museum. Before each visit to the museum, she made us read about artists and painting styles(风格). It was almost as bad as being in school. Who wants to spend the summer thinking about artists when you could be with your friends at the swimming pool? First we had to read about ancient Egyptians(古埃及人) and their strange way of painting faces and then go to look at them at the museum. My 12-year-old brother thought this was so funny, but I was not interested. Later we had to learn about artists in the Middle Ages who painted people wearing strange long clothing. We had to look at pictures of fat babies with wings and curly (鬈曲的) hair and with no clothes on flying around the edges of paintings. I certainly couldnt see what was so great about art. On our last visit to the museum, something happened when I saw a painting by a woman called Mary. In it, a woman was reading to a child. The colors were soft and gentle, and you could tell by the mother s expression how happy she was just to be with the child. I couldnt stop looking at this painting ! I wanted to see every painting Mary had ever made! It was really worth looking at so many paintings to find a painter who could interest me so much.1. The aim of the mother s plan was to _.

If the answer is yes, then have you ever thought about why? You may maintain that traveling can help you expand your scope of knowledge, especially geographical and historical learning. It will provide more chances for you to enjoy food and try on clothes that you otherwise cannot possibly have. A famous English author Francis Bacon (15611626) makes a point when he says that, “Travel, in the younger sort, is a part of education; in the elder, a part of experience.”Evidence of leisure travel can be traced (追溯) as far back as ancient Babylon. This year, according to the World Travel & Tourism Council, the 1 billionth tourist will cross an international boundary before the end of this month. That means that one in seven people on the planet traveled this year, something that would not have been possible a few decades ago. Around 20 years ago only the rich could travel.While the US and France remain the two largest destinations for world travel, experts say much of the explosive growth in tourism has been to countries like Guatemala, the Dominican Republic, and the Ivory Coast, which werent even on the world tourism map a decade ago. The top five destinations in the world, according to the United Nations World Tourism Organization, are Paris, London, New York, the Mediterranean, Turkey.Several factors have led to the boom in world travel. The prosperity (富裕) of people in Asia is one factor. People in Asian developing countries have lifted their ines above middleclass levels in the past few years. And a lot of them have used their new wealth to travel. In addition, travel costs have been reduced thanks to the rapid development of transportation, and petition between airlines to give customers the best prices.TopicTravellingAdvantagesEnrich knowledge, especially in 1._ and history.Taste different 2._ and buy different clothes.Francis Bacon thinks that travel is a part of education and a part of experience.Development3._ from ancient Babylon, travel only really took off after World War .Only the wealthy people could go on a trip about two 4._ ago.The number of people travelling abroad will 5._ as many as 1 billion before the end of this month.Tourist6_The US and France remain the two most popular countries for world travel.Tourism has developed 7._ in countries like Guatemala, the Dominican Republic, and the Ivory Coast.The top five destinations in the world are Paris, London, New York, the Mediterranean and Turkey.Factors8_ inthe popularity ofglobal tourismAsian people have got 9._ than before.People have 10._ less money on travel because of convenient transportation and price petition between airlines.答案：1geography2.food(s)3.Dating4.decades5.reach6destinations7.explosively/quickly/rapidly/fast8.resulting 9richer/wealthier10.spent
