Each morning a rich man found a poor man sitting on a park bench (长凳). The poor man always sat there, looking at the big hotel in which the rich man lived. One day the rich man got out of his car and said to the poor man, “Excuse me, but I just want to know why you sit here and look at my hotel every morning.” “Sir”, said the poor man, “I am a failure (失败者). I have no money, no family, no home. I sleep on this bench, and every night I dream that one day I'll sleep in that hotel.” The rich man said, “Tonight your dream will come true. I'll pay for the best room for you for a whole month.
A few days later, the rich man went by the poor man's room to ask him how he was enjoying himself. To his surprise, he found that the man had moved out of the hotel, back to his park bench. When the rich man asked why, the poor man said, “you see, when I am down here sleeping on my bench, I dream I'm up there, in that big hotel. It's a wonderful dream. But when I was up there, I dreamed I was back to this cold bench. It was a terrible dream, and I couldn't get any sleep at all.”

At present, more and more people are crazy about travelling. Why do people travel? “To see more of the world,” many people would say. But travelling abroad now means much more than that for the growing number of Chinese tourists. Of course it offers us good chances to meet people from other countries, learn about their culture and customs.
According to the United Nations World Tourism Organization (UNWTO), more than 1 billion people travelled to another country in 2012, that was 30 percent more than in 2011. It can also bring both China and foreign countries great economic benefits (经济利益). Chinese people usually join large tourist groups and visit several countries in one trip.
Chinese people don’t just travel for sightseeing. Many Chinese decided to travel
13
abroad before Christmas Day because stores offered discounts (打折) during that time, so shopping in Europe and the United States is popular among Chinese travelers.
In December, China has a very cold winter. So many people travel to some countries in Southeast Asia because the weather there is quite pleasant.
More Chinese can travel abroad, but many of them don’t have a sense of public manners. A report even said Chinese are the world’s second worst tourists.
If you want to change that bad name, remember not to do so: littering, spitting, snatching bus seats, line-jumping, taking off shoes in public, talking loudly and smoking in non-smoking areas. Besides, we should learn some necessary manners of foreign countries.
62. From the passage we can see that Chinese people travel abroad NOT to _________.
A. go sightseeing B. make money
C. buy discounted products D. see more of the world
63. What can we learn from the passage?
A. Chinese are the worst tourists in the world. B. Chinese like joining large tourist groups.
C. Fewer Chinese people can travel abroad now. D. Many Chinese travel to Europe in winter.
64. As a good tourist, you should ________.
A. litter and spit here and there B. jump the line and snatch bus seats
C. speak loudly and smoke in public D. have a sense of public manners
65. Which of the following can be the best title of this passage?
A. Chinese tourists B. Why do people travel?
C. Travelling abroad D. Chinese people like travelling
