Time for an adventure?

Are you a bit bored with your nine-to-five routine? Have a look at our exciting range of holidays

and decide what type of adventure you’d like.

Activity holidays

Our activity holidays are for everyone, people who love danger or who just like sports. We have a

huge variety of water, snow or desert holidays. We’ll take you scuba diving in the Red Sea or

kayaking and white water rafting in Canada. If you prefer snow, you can try skiing or snowboarding

in the Alps or even igloo building. For those who like warmer weather, we also have sandboarding

(the desert version of skateboarding) or camel safaris.

Polar expeditions

Take an expedition to Antarctica or the northern Arctic; explore a land of white natural beauty and

wonderful wildlife. Our experts will explain everything about the two poles as you watch the

penguins in Antarctica or whales and polar bears in the Arctic. There’s no greater adventure than

travelling to the ends of the earth. A once-in-a-lifetime experience.

Cultural journeys

Our cultural journeys will help you discover ancient civilizations: India, Thailand, Egypt and

many more. Visit temples, palaces and ancient ruins—just remember to bring your camera! Get to

know local ways of life by exploring markets，trying exotic foods and meeting local people.

Wildlife holidays

We organize small-group tours to get closer to nature in Africa, Asia or South America. Go on

safari in Africa and watch lions and giraffes. Meet the famous turtles off the Galapagos Islands. Look

for tigers in India，or take an elephant safari in Sri Lanka. We use local guides and stay in a range of

accommodation, from tents to tree houses.

Many independent Chinese women like to earn their own bread, even if their husbands are already

bringing home the bacon. But a recent survey suggests that such women find more joy from

relationships，rather than successful careers.

About 73 percent of the 7,000 women surveyed in Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou said they

would choose to work even if their husbands earned enough for the family. The survey also found

that 77 percent define happiness as “enjoying a relationship”.

But striking a balance between career and family can bring challenges to the woman’s career

advancement.

“In my company, women usually have an equal or even a higher starting salary than men,” said Li

Hua, general manager of Beijing Chuangjiashe Book Circulation Company. “However, as they begin

to climb up the career ladder, women often meet problems along the way, while men can climb the

ladder more easily.”

Both physical and emotional differences can prevent some women from taking tough

positions，Li said. But family life is often the main difficulty for Chinese career women.

Despite these challenges ，however ，some experts believe it’s reasonable for some women to

want to be breadwinners.

“In this way, the roles of a family are decided by the parents’ abilities rather than their gender( 性

别),” said Gu Donghui, a sociology professor at Fudan University.

Gu says women should have the freedom to decide if they want to stay at home or work to support

the family. “Everyone has a different explanation of what it means to find self-worth”.

Wang Haibin, an economic expert from Renmin University shares that view: “Traditionally, we

tend to regard the family as the cell unit of society. Some members have always been expected to

make sacrifices for it. But ，it really doesn’t matter who earns more. Economic independence and

personal choice is essential for both sexes in the family.”

4. What brings career women more joy and happiness according to the passage?

A. Relationships. B. Money. C. Challenges. D. Successful careers.

5. What’s the main problem that career women meet while working?

A. Physical difference. B. Tough positions. C. Family life. D. The career ladder.

6. Some women want to be breadwinners probably because .

A. their families are poor B. they have a lot of children

C. their husbands do not work D. they want to show their self-worth

7. Who should make sacrifice for the family according to the passage?

A. The wife. B. Either of them. C. The husband. D. Neither of them.

I had spent about 5 years running a booth( 摊位), where I could see a wonderful comedian. His

name was Moonie，whose skit(小喜剧) was done using nothing but gestures and noises instead of

words. I remember watching his shows and always being entertained. Even when he was having a

bad day, the audience wasn’t cooperating, and he always managed to keep things fun，funny, lively,

and fresh. That’s a very hard thing to do the same skits and jokes for 5 years several times a day,

each weekend.

When I heard it would be his last time performing there ，I had wanted to thank him for all the

amazing shows he had done on that stage across from the booth where I worked. He was standing

with the crowd after one of his last shows of the day，and as each person dropped a tip into his big

basket，he was pointing at them with a huge smile and then saying “You’re the greatest!” to each

one.

I approached him and dropped $20 into his basket, and he turned to me then ，smiling very

brightly，pointing，and continued with another “You’re the greatest！”So I looked at him directly

then，and stopped him saying.“No，Moonie. You are the greatest. I have been watching your shows

for 5 years from that booth right over there ，and I just wanted to say thank you for the years of

amazing shows that you have given me.”

The look on his face said that he was genuinely and truly touched by that comment. He politely

asked me what my name was and asked to shake my hand. I accepted and we shared a very deep

moment of mutual respect and gratitude. I walked away happily，and I knew he did too.

15. Which of the following words can best describe the ending of the story?
