1 A trip of a lifetime
A Read Joel’s Web journal. Then circle this information in the text:
1. the animals he saw 2. the lakes he visited 3. the mountain where he hiked
I just returned from an exciting tour of Kenya. It was the trip of a lifetime – there was so much to see!
My tour group spent the first two days at Masai Mara, driving around to see
animals in their natural environment. We got close to elephants, cheetahs, and
zebras, and we took some excellent photographs! On the third day, we went to
Lake Naivasha. We stayed in little huts near the lake, where we could see local
birds and hippos. I was surprised to find out that hippos kill more people than
any other animal. That night we did some stargazing. The night was clear and
perfect – I’ve never seen so many stars!
The next morning, we visited Lake Nakuru, where we saw a rare black rhino
and hundreds of pink flamingos. That night, we camped in a place where we
heard lions walking around near our campsite! Luckily, we never saw them,
but we did not sleep very well. On day five, we took a trip to Thompson's
Falls. It was hard to climb to the top, but it was worth the effort – the enormous Thompson’s Falls
waterfall was beautiful. We had a nice picnic lunch by the water.
The next day, we went to Mount Kenya, where we visited a Masai village.
That night, we tried to do some traditional Masai dancing, and believe me,
we looked very funny! We spent the seventh day hiking on Mount Kenya,
and afterwards we made a trip to the local Kikuyu school. We talked to the
students and teachers there and learned about their projects. Then we ate
irio together, a traditional Kikuyu dish.
Back in Nairobi, Kenya’s capital city, we had a tour of the city. Then we took
our guides out to dinner to thank them for showing us their beautiful country.
The next morning, we made the long journey home. I was tired, but very
sorry to leave. Visiting Kenya was my best vacation ever.

1 Cat habitat
A Quickly read the article about a cat charity in Amsterdam. Where do the cats live?
All aboard, furry neighbors!

Have you ever lived next door to a boat? How about a boat full of cats?
Amsterdam, the largest city in the Netherlands, is full of canals. There are
many different kinds of boats on the canals. Some of them carry people
and goods, some have shops or restaurants on them, while others are houseboats – boats
that people live on. But not only people live on these houseboats. Cats do too, at least on two of them.
It all began in 1966 with a stray cat, her kittens, and a kind woman named Henriette van Weelde. One rainy
night, Henriette heard a cat crying outside her house. She opened the door and saw a wet mother cat
trying to protect her kittens from the rain. Henriette felt sorry for the poor animals, so she let them live with
her. Soon another stray cat joined them, and then more. Henriette quickly became known as the “cat lady.”
Before long, the cats filled Henriette’s house. Then they filled her garden. And
the cats kept coming. What could she do with them all? She saw the answer
to her problem floating on the canal – a houseboat. People could live on
houseboats, so why couldn’t cats? In 1968, Henriette bought her first “cat boat.”
Soon, even more stray cats moved in, and then people came who wanted to
help – the first volunteers. But after just three years, the houseboat was full of
cats. So Henriette bought another boat! More people were visiting, not just to
bring cats in, but also to adopt a pet or just to look. After all, a houseboat for
cats is not a common sight!
Today, Henriette’s two cat boats are still in the same place on the canal. And
the Cat Boat Foundation that Henriette started years ago is not only an official
Dutch charity but also an international tourist attraction!
B Read the article in A again. Answer these questions.

1. What are the boats in Amsterdam for?They carry people. They have shops and
restaurants on them, and people live on them.
2. Why did Henriette van Weelde take in the first stray cat?
3. What did Henriette do when her house and garden filled with cats?
4. Who helped Henriette take care of the cats?
5. What are two reasons people visit Henriette’s cat boats?

An Unusual Server
The Dangers of F
Fog
A few years ago, while I was driving across eastern Canada, something
very unusual happened. I still don’t understand what happened.
While I was driving at night through thick, heavy fog, I noticed
flashes of light in the sky. They were moving from the sky onto
the road in front of my truck. I was driving slowly, and I couldn’t
see very well, but those lights were as bright as daylight, and
they were blue. It was definitely not lightning.
Now here's where the story gets weird. I was getting tired of
driving in the fog, so I pulled off the road and stopped at
an all-night restaurant for travelers.
I walked in and sat down at the counter. When the server came
to my table, she laughed and asked me how I got such a bad sunburn.
I didn’t know what she meant, but my face suddenly felt really hot. I went into the restroom and looked at
myself in the mirror. My face was bright red! I splashed cold water on it and held a towel to my skin. My
hands were also burned. I was very puzzled and a little frightened.
I went back to my table and ordered something to eat. I was feeling weak and extremely tired, and I wasn’t
hungry anymore. After I forced myself to eat a few bites of food, I checked into a nearby motel, where I slept
for about 24 hours. After that, I didn’t see any more light flashes, and the “sunburn” on my face and hands
disappeared after a few days. Even now, I wonder about those flashes of light – I’ll never forget them!

Practice lesson D In the future . . .
1 Travel planning
A Read the article. Then circle the best title.
Travel Now
Travel planning is changing; there are now frequent-flyer miles, bonus points, e-tickets,
and flexible-date searches. More and more people make their own reservations on the
Internet today, and in the future there will probably be fewer traditional travel agents.
Big airlines and hotels are also encouraging people to make reservations for their trips online.
Many offer discounts to people when they make the reservations directly with them. Companies
also save a lot of money if people book online because they don’t have to employ as many people.
The number of Customer loyalty programs, such as frequent-
flyer programs, is also growing. People who use the same airline
every time they travel get points or “miles.” They can then use
these points to get money off future trips. If customers buy
e-tickets online, they get even more points!
However, more than 60% of people who use the Internet to
find a vacation still buy their ticket through a travel agent. This
is because some people prefer to buy a paper ticket from a real
person than an “e-ticket.” But most experts agree that booking
“do-it-yourself” vacations will be more popular in the future, and
the way we plan our travel could change in a variety of ways.
First, flexible-date searches allow travelers to choose when they travel, depending on the price of the
trip. This could mean more people organizing last-minute vacations, as people with flexible schedules
are able to save money. Second, people will be able to design their own tours. They can also make
their plans available online to other travelers who might like to go on the tour too.
Next, since Web sites are cheap to run, more people will be able to start their own specialized online
“agency.” Finally, with all the choices and information available online, people will be able to make
better decisions about when and where they go on vacation.
Although there are now fewer traditional travel agents, some people will always want to sit down
with a real person and plan their trips. Many experts believe that the future of travel is about giving
customers more choices and making things cheaper too!
B Read the article in A again. Write four ways that the Internet will affect travel planning.

to drive cars. There won’t be any traffic jams or parking problems. There will be more space for
trees and parks. When there are more trees, the air will be clean and fresh. People in Tokyo will
be healthy and live long, happy lives. I think Tokyo will be an example for all cities.
