Ⅳ.阅读理解
As soon as you are on your way to Eastern Europe，here are a few tips on what you should pack.In general，pack lightly，with only the most basic clothes.People dress casually(随便地) in Eastern Europe，so you don’t need to bring along your smartest clothing.
At the risk of going against our own advice by weighing down your luggage，we suggest
you consider bringing along the following things，which we found particularly useful in Eastern Europe.
Batteries：If your camera，flash or other appliances run on batteries，bring enough supply along.Certain types of batteries don’t exist in Eastern Europe，and those that do often don’t last very long.
Calculators：Many travellers find it useful to figure out foreign exchange rates on a calculator.We suggest a credit card calculator that fits into your wallet or purse.
Cash：We have found it good to have a supply of small unit US bills ($1 and $5) to use in hardcurrency(硬通货) stores，to buy international train tickets，etc. The hardcurrency stores never seem to have the right change，and thus you may lose out without some “pretty cash” in hand.
Electric Current Adapters：If you bring any appliances，remember that the electricity in Eastern Europe uses 220 volts C．，not the standard 110 volts of North America.A 110vo
lt appliance will soon burn out when attached to an uncharged 220volt plug.Get in touch with the Franzus Company,352 Park Ave，South，New York，NY10010(tel.212/889－5850)，and ask for their booklet，“Foreign Electricity Is No Dark Secret”．
Language Tools：One of Europe’s big challenges is communicating with the local people，since their language is so different from our own.To help overcome difficulties，you might buy phrase books before you go—you won’t find them useful once you are in Eastern Europe.
If you are interested in learning an Eastern European language in more detail，we recommend the tape course produced by Audio Forum.In each course you listen to native speakers on a tape and follow along in a textbook.You can ask Audio Forum for their catalog(目录) at Broad St.Guilford，CT 06437 (ll free 800，/243－1234)．
Money Belts：A money is especially helpful when you have many documents(证件) to carry around(as you always do in Eastern Europe)．The best one we found is made by Eagle Creek Travel Gear,143 Cedros Ave.(P.O.box 651)，Solona Beach，CA92075 (tel.619/755－9399，or toll free 800/874－9925) outside California.
