To travel around the world is the dream of many adventurous（有冒險(xiǎn)精神的） people. But very few people can afford a global tour because hotels, food and airplane tickets are too expensive. Some people, however, have thought of some ways to realize their dreams.

Laura Cody and Tanbay Theune, a couple from Britain, decided to travel around the world. They have found a good way to pay for their trips. They look after pets for rich house owners. In exchange, they can stay in the houses for free. They have looked after horses, cows, cats, dogs and fish. In two years, the couple has been to Australia, Germany, Spain and Italy. They have stayed in big cities and small villages. The home owners are usually generous and have given them food, wine and day trips.

Another person who tries to realize her travel dream is photographer Rhiannon Taylor. She travels around the world to visit, review and take photos of the best hotels. She shares the places she stays and the food she eats on the Internet with tens of thousands of followers.

With these ways of making money, traveling around the world is no longer a dream. More and more young people are thinking creatively to make their dream come true.

1.Why do most people feel hard to make their travel dream come true?

A. Because they can hardly find hotels.

B. Because the food is not healthy.

C. Because the cost of travel is high.

D. Because they are afraid of adventure.

2.The best word to describe the way of realizing the travel dream is _______.

A. special B. creative C. rich D. adventurous

3.It is known from the passage that Laura and Tanbay paid for their trips by _______.

閱讀下面短文，根據(jù)其內(nèi)容完成后面各項(xiàng)任務(wù)。

Almost everyone has a piggy bank (儲(chǔ)蓄罐), but do you know why people often make it in the shape (形狀) of a pig?

Believe it or not, people made the piggy bank in the shape of a pig by mistake. In the Middle Ages, many containers (容器) at home were made of a kind of cheap clay (陶土) called pygg. 單詞“pygg”聽起來(lái)和“pig”一樣。At that time, there weren’t banks like we have today, so people would save their money at home in some clay containers. Because the kind of clay was called pygg, people called the containers pygg banks. Over time this became piggy banks. After several hundred years, people forgot that the word “pygg” meant a kind of clay.

The English language also changed. People used the word “pig” more commonly. So when English workers were asked to make “piggy banks”, they thought they needed to make containers in the shape of pigs. Surprisingly (出人意料地), the pig-shaped containers were popular.

Today piggy banks are made of all kinds of things, and they also come in different shapes and animals. But people still call those cute containers for money “piggy banks”.
