Taxis
Taxis are in the streets 24 hours a day．Simply raise your hand, and a taxi will appear in no time．They are usually red, and they display the price per kilometre on the window．You should check whether the cab has a business permit, and make sure you ask for a receipt．
Buses and trolleybuses
Public transport provides a cheap way to get around in Beijing．There are 20,000 buses and trolleybuses in Beijing, but they can get very crowded．It’s a good idea to avoid public transport during the rush hour(6∶30 a.m.～8∶00 a.m.and 5∶00 p.m.～6∶30 p.m.)．Fares are cheap, starting at 1 yuan．Air-conditioned buses cost more．Buses numbered 1 to 100 are limited to travel within the city centre．Higher numbers have destinations in the suburbs．Tourists shouldn’t miss the 103 bus which offers one of the most impressive routes, past the Forbidden City and the White Pagoda in Beihai Park．If you get on a double-decker bus, make sure you sit upstairs．You’ll have a good view of the rapidly changing city．
Most buses run from about 5∶00 a.m.to midnight．However, there is also a night bus service, provided by buses with a number in the 200s．
Minibuses
Minibuses with seats for 12 passengers offer an alternative to expensive taxis and crowded public transport in some areas．They run regular services and follow the same routes as large public buses．And in a minibus you always get a seat even in rush hours．
Underground
There are four underground lines in Beijing, and several lines are under construction．Trains are fast and convenient, but rush hours can be terrible．A oneway trip costs 3 yuan．Station names are marked in pinyin．The underground is open from 5∶00 a.m.to 11∶00 p.m.．
Pedicabs
Tourists like these human-pedalled“tricycle taxis”, but they can be expensive．You should talk to the driver, and make sure you know the price before you begin the journey．For example, if it is per person, single or return．Tricycles are worth using if you want to explore the narrow alleys(hutong)of old Beijing．
Questions：
1．What’s the problem with buses?
2．What are the advantages of the underground?
3．What can you visit in a pedicab?

Pupils are ordered not to wade into ankle-deep water unless teachers first carry out a full risk assessment and put “proper measures in place”.
Staff are expected to check rivers, ponds and the sea for currents and rocks before allowing children to dip their feet.
Guidance issued to schools warns that any “impromptu (事先無準備的) water-based activities” could pose dangers to children.
The recommendations were outlined in a document-available to all 21,000 schools in England — to help teachers organize more school trips. Advice from the Department for Children, Schools and Families is intended to cut red tape (官樣文章) and give staff practical tips.
But the guidance caused argument after teachers were presented with a series of orders surrounding swimming and the use of minibuses.
It said: “Swimming and padding or otherwise entering the waters of river, canal, sea or lake should never be allowed as an impromptu activity. The pleas of young people to bathe — because it is hot weather, for example, should be resisted where bathing has not been prepared for.”
“In-water activities should take place only when a proper risk assessment has been completed and proper measures put in place to control the risks.”
Teachers are urged to check the weather, currents, weeds, rip tides, river or sea beds and breakwaters before allowing children into the water. No child should be able to swim deeper than waist height, the guidance added.
Margaret Morrissey, from campaign group Parents Outloud, said: “Wading out into the ocean is one thing but there’s nothing wrong with padding where the waves break.”
“Part of children’s learning is to walk along the water’s edge and get your feet wet. There are dangerous currents further out and you stay at the edge.”
She added: “I want to see schools and youth groups taking advantage of opportunities that learning outside the classroom can provide.”
But the Department for Children, Schools and Families said teachers had to plan activities carefully.
“We are not banning padding,” said a spokeswoman. “We have seen cases in the past where things have not been planned and assessed for the risk. Unplanned activities around water can be dangerous.”
Guidance issued to schools in England gives the information that _________.
A. school trips to oceans are forbidden in the country
B. school swimming pools should be surrounded with fence
C. school staff must plan water-based activities carefully
D. school children shouldn’t have a walk along river banks
Advice from the Department for Children, Schools and Families shows us that _________.
A. they are strongly against the guidance
B. they are fond of the outline of the guidance
C. they don’t understand the aim of the guidance
D. they want the guidance to become more useful
To the guidance, Margaret Morrissey holds the opinion that _________.
A. oceans are dangerous place for children to visit
B. young people should be encouraged to learn outside
C. children should learn padding in rough ocean alone
D. schools should stop students from walking along beaches
Which of the following can be the best title for this passage?
A. No padding on school trips, children told.
B. No walking along the rivers, teachers told.
C. No swimming after school, parents told.
D. No learning out of school, students told.

Bali Beach Resort has plenty of attractions. It is a holiday paradise（樂園）. The self-styled ‘Ultimate Island’ certainly has plenty for everyone.
Where in the world ?
Bali is located just off the eastern edge of the main Indonesian island of Java. To the east is the neighboring island of Lombok. To the south of Bali lies the expanse of the Indian Ocean, while to the north is the Bali Sea. The most popular resort with holidaymakers is Ubud north of Sanur.
When to go?
Bali has a tropical climate year round with an average daily temperature of 31℃(87℃F). The wet season is between October and April. The dry season is between May and September, and is the busiest time to visit the island as travelers take advantage of the long hot days and little rain.
Beach
Bali has a string of beaches, mainly in the south of the island. Head away from Bali’s beaches and a totally different world awaits you. Ubud is an easily accessible （接近的）jungle resort town with a good range of hotels, shops and restaurants. The active volcano of Mount Batur is a highlight and so are the mountain lakes.
Family fun
All of the resorts have plenty of facilities （設(shè)施）for families. In Ubud there is a monkey park, where young ones can see monkeys that are not kept in tiny cages and an elephant park where holidaymakers can ride an elephant.
Eating out
All of Bali’s holiday resorts offer international cooking to suit every tourist’s taste, with most of the better hotels having excellent restaurants. Indonesian Bintang beer is very popular.
Getting around
There are a limited number of local buses. The other public transport is to take the local “bemo” minibuses. These colourful little minibuses speed around the winding roads with fares negotiated （商議）on board, so it helps to speak a little of the local language. There are also taxis and both electric bikes and cars can be hired.
【小題1】From the passage we learn that Bali is __________.
| A．on the east of the Lombok Island |
| B．to the west of the Lombok Island |
| C．off the north of Bali Sea |
| D．surrounded by the Indian Ocean |
| A．January and February | B．April and May |
| C．June and July | D．September and October |
| A．It is very convenient for visitors to take a local bus |
| B．You don’t need to pay money to take a “bemo” minibus |
| C．You have to learn to speak the local language |
| D．You may take an electric bike |
