Unit 5 Travelling abroadSection Ⅰ Warming Up &；Reading-Pre-reading During early adulthood your worldview is still being formed. It's important to manage this time — to give yourself opportunities to grow. A good way to do that is to travel. There are three reasons to travel while you're young：1．Travelling teaches you to live an adventureYou should take the time to see the world and taste the fullness of life. It's worth whatever investment or money or sacrifice of time required on your part. It's not about being a tourist. It's about experiencing true risk and adventure so you don't have to live in fear for the rest of your life.2．Travelling helps you encounter compassion (同情)Travelling will put you in places that will force you to care forissues that are bigger than you. If you go to Southeast Asia, you may encounter (遭遇) the slave trade. If Eastern Europe, you may see the effects of genocide (大屠杀) and religious persecution (宗教迫害)．3．Travelling allows you to get some cultureWhile you're still young, you should get cultured. Get to know the world and the magnificent people that fill it.There's nothing quite like walking alongside the Coliseum or seeing Michelangelo's David in person. I can describe the city of San Juan and its amazing beaches and historic sites to you, but you really have to see it for yourself to experience it. You can read all the books in the world about the Great Wall of China or The Louvre, but being there is a different story.Section_ⅠWarming Up & Reading — PrereadingKEEP IT UP①， XIE LEIChinese student fitting in②wellSix months ago Xie Lei said goodbye to③ her family and friends in China and boarded a plane④ for London. ⑤It was the ...
