Unit 5 Travelling abroad
我们出境旅游不仅仅是为参观旅游景点，而是为了从旅行经历中学到各种知识，而这些知识将帮助我们形成关于世界的正确概念和观点。
Nowadays more and more people are travelling abroad. What do they travel abroad for? According to the latest news, some people travel abroad to buy a large number of expensive foreign goods. But is shopping the meaning of travelling? Of course not. Actually we travel not only to visit the tourist attractions, but also to learn a variety of knowledge from our travelling experiences高中英语文章，which will help us form correct concepts and opinions about the world. This is the true meaning of travelling. So, when we travel abroad, we can experience foreign customs and traditions typical to the regions. Travelling broadens our view，and at the same time makes us realize that there are various traditions coexisting in the world. Every tradition is unique and equal, even though some of them may be quite different from ours. So we learn that we should do as the Romans do when in Rome，and we should
respect each tradition. Of course，we can learn a lot more from travelling abroad besides customs and traditions. Today more and more students are travelling abroad for further study. Perhaps from those overseas students, we can get a better understanding of what we can learn from travelling abroad.

KEEP IT UP，XIE LEI
Chinese student fitting in well
Six months ago Xie Lei said goodbye to① her family and friends in China and boarded a plane for London. It was the first time she had ever left her motherland. “After getting my visa(签证) I was very excited because I had dreamed of this day for so long. But I was also very nervous as I didn't know what to expect②，” Xie Lei told me when I saw her waiting in a queue(排队) at the student cafeteria(自助餐厅) between lectures.
谢蕾，再接再厉
六个月之前谢蕾告别了她在中国的家人和朋友，登上了前往伦敦的飞机。这是她第一次离开自己的祖国。课间休息时，我看见她在学生自助餐厅排队，谢蕾告诉我说：“拿到我的签证后我很激动，因为很久以前我就梦想着能有这么一天。但是我又非常紧张，因为我不知道我所期望的是什么。”
[助读讲解] ①say goodbye to和……说再见。②what to expect在句中作know的宾语。
Xie Lei, who is 21 years old, has come to our university to study for a business qualification. She is halfway through the preparation year, which most foreign students complete before applying for③ a degree course④. Xie Lei highly recommends it. “The preparation course is most beneficial(有益的)，” she said. “Studying here is quite different from studying in China, so you need some preparation first.”
谢蕾，今年21岁，来我们大学学习，期望获得工商管理资格证书。大多数外籍学生在申请学位课程学习之前都要学一年预科，而谢蕾已经读完半年了。谢蕾极力推荐这门课程。她说：“预科课程非常有益。在这儿学习和在中国学习是非常不同的，因此你需要事前做些准备。”
[助读讲解] ③apply for申请。④which引导非限制性定语从句，修饰the preparation year。
“It's not just study that's difficult⑥. You have to get used to a whole new way of life, which can take up⑦ all your concentration in the beginning，” explained Xie Lei, who had lived all her life in the same city in China. She told me that she had had to learn almost everything again. “Sometimes I felt like a child，” she said. “I had to learn how to use the phone, how to pay bus fare, and how to ask a shopkeeper(店主) for things I didn't know the English for. When I got lost and had to ask a passerby for directions, I didn't always understand. They don't talk like⑧ they do on our listening tapes，” she said, laughing.
