11、who like history. The physical travel types that you can find include such adventure travel as white water rafting (白浪漂流), kayaking or climbing and hiking to some mountains somewhere. To the hiker, backpacking across Ireland might be their adventure. For this type of person, adventure travel almost
12、always includes something physical. Often the goal is to push their bodys limits and test their individual endurance (耐力).For those who less want to climb mountains, adventure travel might mean traveling to Nepal and taking in the local festivals. Wine tasting in Italy is also vacation adventure for
13、 the more relaxed traveler who enjoys peace and comfort. Anything that is opposite to the normal scope (范围) of the travelers lifestyle defines (定义) adventure.Adventure travel is not necessarily a one-size-fits-all type of vacation. Adventure depends on the persons physical limits, how much money the
14、 person has and what the person enjoys doing. Going beyond the normal is adventurous for many. If your life is quite busy, then sitting on a beach in the moonlight with your family might be adventure for you. The point is not what you do but that you have a good time and that it is an adventure for
15、YOU not for the person next to you.Do not sit home this year when vacation time rolls around. Go beyond your normal routine and try something new.

22、they are using the same internet, with the same risks. There is a common misunderstanding that smartphones dont need that protection. But with such a high percentage of parents not having a clear view of their childrens online activity, this way of thinking needs to change.Apples iPhone and iPad hav

And luxurious(奢侈) restaurants and clubs did less business than before, for austerity(财政紧缩) measures kept civil servants away from them.Indeed, some complaints were heard from civil servants, who had become used to getting extra pay or receiving gifts from lowe

Ralph Buehler teaches urban planning at the Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University, popularly known as Virginia Tech. He has written a book about urban biking, called “City Cycling. He says t
40、here is a reason why urban bike riding is now becoming more popular. “Over the last 60 to 70 years. cities in the U. S. have been adapted to the automobile. ”“Most cities took advantage of the money coming for the interstate(洲际) highway system, from the federal government, starting in 1956. There wa
41、s a 90 percent federal match(补贴)so the cities only had to put up 10. It was very tempting（临时的）. ”In the years after World War Two, many Americans moved to suburban communities, just outside major cities, They decided to travel great distances to and from work in exchange for a home in the suburbs.
