The MetroCard New York,a thin plastic rechargeable card,is a good option if you are planning to take a tour of New York and are looking for a simple and inexpensive way to get around!
Which to choose
Depending on your preferences,you can choose among the following types of cards:
The pay per use card:Pay per ride MetroCard
A metro journey costs $3(single fare),but with a Pay per ride MetroCard you will only pay $2.75.Your card will be charged for each journey you make.
Note that a card can be used by up to 4 people—i.e.if you only have one card in your group of 4 people,you can access the subway or bus by swiping(刷卡) it 4 times.However,if there are 5 of you,you will need a second card:the Pay per ride MetroCard can only be swiped 4 times in a row.
The unlimited use payment card:Unlimited Ride MetroCard
The 7 day unlimited MetroCard is valid(有效的) for 7 straight days.It costs $33.If you use public transport often during your stay,it will quickly become profitable!That’s why it’s the most commonly used card for tourists.
The 30 day unlimited MetroCard is valid for 30 days.It costs $127.You have unlimited swipes on the subway and buses for 30 days,and you can’t pause it once started.
The One year MetroCard is valid for a whole year,so it is of no interest to tourists.
How to use
You have to swipe your MetroCard through the reader and then wait for the display to say “GO”.Unfortunately,this isn’t as easy as it sounds at times.As with many other Metro passes,it can be kind of tricky at first,but if you can’t get it working,you are not alone.Just watch other people and do what they do.
1.How many Pay per ride MetroCards are needed at least for a group of 6 people
A.1. B.2. C.4. D.6.

Why did I choose Uzbekistan for my first post pandemic holiday abroad?Perhaps,in my mind,I had romantic images of the ancient Silk Road and the great cities along its route,especially Samarkand.Maybe I even entertained unlikely hopes of bumping into Joanna Lumley.Probably,I simply wanted to see a part of the world that was completely unknown to me.I was not to be disappointed.
On my first day in the capital Tashkent,my wallet bulging with money,I headed for the nearest metro station.With the help of a student keen to practice her English,I reached the Chorsu Bazaar,and was impressed during my journey to see Uzbek youngsters cheerfully give up their seats to elderly passengers.Located in and around several large domes,the bazaar provided an exciting start to my holiday,the colorful national dress of the local women further enlivening the scene.The stallholders offered a vast range of goods,including meat,fruit,vegetable and car parts for locals and souvenirs,such as ceramics and textiles,for tourists.
The rest of my time in Uzbekistan was a cavalcade of sights and experiences,as I visited Khiva,Bukhara and Samarkand.Each has its architectural masterpieces,but for me,the most impressive was probably the world famous Registan Square in Samarkand.With magnificent madrassas on three sides,it is splendid by day and magical when illuminated by night.
Each journey was varied and interesting:dry desert contrasted with fertile areas where crops thrived.The weather,however,while it was the first half of October,didn’t vary:it was sunny and warm every day and chilly at night.For all but vegetarians,the food was another highlight of the holiday.Tapioca pudding at breakfast came as a surprise but the home produced fresh fruit and vegetables were delicious.
Ten days in Uzbekistan passed too quickly but I will always remember my first visit to this fascinating,friendly country.
4.Why did the author make the journey to Uzbekistan
A.He once had romantic experiences there.
B.He was fascinated by its mysterious history.
C.He made an appointment with Joanna Lumley.
D.He was driven by his curiosity about the unknown.
5.What does the underlined word “enlivening” mean in paragraph 2
A.Distracting. B.Restricting.
C.Activating. D.Multiplying.
6.What can we learn about Uzbekistan
A.The food there is appealing to most of people.
B.Bukhara is the most attractive sight to the author.
C.Crops are hard to grow because of the variable weather.
D.This is the second time for the author to visit Uzbekistan.
7.What’s the purpose of the text
A.To show the benefits of travelling.
B.To share a travelling experience.
C.To introduce the ancient Silk Road.
D.To advise readers to visit Uzbekistan.

They supposedly swim in remote lakes,hide in dense forests,and walk among snowy mountains.Yet despite being unreal proven by science,cryptids—fantastical beasts that probably don’t exist—have fascinated humans for centuries and gave birth to cryptotourism which boosts the local tourism.North America’s Bigfoot helps generate over $140 million annually for the U.S.economy,according to the International Cryptozoology Museum in Portland,Maine.
In Nepal,cryptotourism reaches back to the 1950s.It centers on the Yeti.Up to six feet tall and similar in appearance to the Bigfoot,this legendary creature is reported to wander on the snowy peaks of the Himalayas and is a prominent figure in the folk tale of Nepal.Its tale is 6,000 years old.But the furry beast was a regional fairytale until British explorer Eric Shipton claimed to have photographed a 13 inch long human like footprint in the snow of Nepal’s Menlung Glacier.Explorers all over the world soon flooded into the Himalayas,competing to detect the cryptid.
Over time,the Yeti became a powerful tourism brand in Nepal.This beast’s foot forms the logo of the domestic carrier,Yeti Airlines,while hotels,restaurants,cafés,and tour companies profit off its name.
Some Nepalis are more skeptical.Sushil,a tour guide,says even as a child he viewed Yetis as a sham.Now,when his customers ask about the monster,he tells them it’s widely considered a myth.Sushil says he dislikes cryptotourism,which steals focus from the country’s remarkable architecture and ancient traditions.“I don’t think the Yeti is a valuable tool to promote Nepal tourism,” he says.“We have a lot of tangible and intangible cultural heritage.Nepal should focus on its rich natural diversity.”
Academics have also offered scientific explanations for the Yeti and other cryptids,yet these legends persist.“People have always been fascinated by things in nature which confuse us,things which we just don’t understand,” says Panday,a Nepali author.“That’s not going to change any time soon.”
8.Why is North America’s Bigfoot mentioned in paragraph 1
A.To exemplify biodiversity.
B.To prove the effect of cryptotourism.
C.To criticize human belief in cryptids.
D.To show the advance of tourism economy.
9.What can be learned about the Yeti
A.It dates back to the 1950s.
B.It was proven by Eric Shipton.
C.It is a distant relative of the Bigfoot.
D.It plays a vital part in Nepali tourism.
10.What may Sushil recommend to tourists
A.The local natural diets.
B.The legends about monsters.
C.The Nepali cultural heritage.
D.The tourist draws featuring Yetis.
11.What does Panday think of cryptotourism
A.It has good reason to exist.
B.It keeps pace with science.
C.It benefits Nepali economy.
D.It promotes animal protection.

Going on holiday doesn’t have to be bad for the environment,and there are still plenty of ways you can have a much deserved break without harming the environment.
Forget planes.While most forms of transport produce carbon dioxide,planes have a massive carbon footprint because of the huge number of miles they travel. 1 Many of us ignore the endless beautiful scenery around us.There’s the unparalleled beauty of the Mississippi River.Alternatively,you can drive your car to the Grand Canyon to see its splendor.
Pack with care. 2 All of their bottles,from shampoo and conditioner to body wash and moisturizer,are now made from recycled plastic that can be repurposed again and again so no new plastic is produced.And their iconic soap bars now also come in plastic free packaging.
3 Hotels can be huge producers of greenhouse gases.Think about the water that’s wasted and all the buffet food that goes uneaten.So choose an eco friendly option instead.Camping and a home stay—where you live with a family in their own home—are two of the best options.But if you insist on staying in the hotel,pick one made from sustainable materials. 4
Buy gifts responsibly.Bringing back gifts for friends and loved ones is part of the fun of a holiday. 5 Avoid anything plastic,or if it is plastic,make sure it is 100% recyclable,and make sure your friends will love whatever you give them so it isn’t just thrown in the bin headed for landfill.
A.Think about green accommodation.
B.Consider living in an eco friendly hotel.
C.But make sure you choose items carefully.
D.Take brand name beauty and bath products with you.
E.It’s also acceptable to live in a hotel using new energy.
F.So why not skip flying in favor of a holiday closer to home
G.So why do planes consume so much fuel compared with other transport
