READING
Text 1
Ex. 1 Read the text and entitle it.
Adventure is necessary to us all. It keeps us from growing stale and old; it stimulates our imagination, it gives us that movement and change which are necessary to our well-being.
One of the objects of travel is to go in search of beauty. The beauty spots of the world are magnets which draw pilgrims year after year.
The most valuable to the traveler is the knowledge which he gets of his fellow-men. It is typical of the stay-at-home to call someone else "queer" because his ways are a little different; the much travelled man is much more likely to be able to understand another point of view than his own.
Those who wish to travel either for pleasure or for business have at their disposal various means of transport. There is for instance, the humble, inexpensive bicycle. Then there's the motor-cycle, with which you can travel quickly and cheaply, with a motor-car one travels comfortably for long distances without getting too tired. Luxurious ships cross the seas and oceans from one continent to another. Airplanes carry passengers to various parts of the world in almost as many hours as it takes days to the journey by other means. But most of travelers still prefer to use trains.
If you want to see the country-side you must spend part of your holidays on hikes. But you must not walk very quickly if you want to enjoy your hiking trip. Hiking is nice because you needn't think about tickets, timetables and other things. What you need is a rucksack with all the things you will use on a hike.
And then there is for the traveler the great joy to come home again. However humble his home may be, it contains all the things with which he is most familiar. He loves them and being parted for a little while from them increases his desire for them. So the traveler, besides the delight of travel, has the additional satisfaction of a fuller appreciation of his home.

1. Why is adventure necessary to all of us?

9. What is the most pleasant thing for traveler besides the delight of
travel?
