Script: A trip’s success often depends on what you bring with you and how you bring it. One packing essential is researching the destination’s temperatures and precipitation. Running around cold and wet Paris in January would have been miserable had I not had warm and sturdy boots. When beginning to pack, consider the trip activities. If it is a business trip, one does not need shredded jeans or a bikini. If you are going on a vacation to Fiji, a business suit is unnecessary.

While personal style is important, one must consider a destination’s tastes and cultural mores. If the destination is conservative, e.g. the Middle East, consider covering up. Conversely, glitzy Las Vegas is the perfect place to bring everything latex, sequined, metallic or reflective. Pack a range of clothes, all of which match each other. Clothing should not require considerable care. No one wants to be up all night ironing one’s suit or fretting if the hotel staff will return a shirt in time for the morning meeting.

Similarly, you don't want to spend your vacation hand-washing delicates.

Certain fabrics travel well. Natural cloth that breathes, like cotton, and microfibers are your friends but beware of linen due to its wrinkling propensity. Fabrics that can take a bit of abuse and hold their shape are ideal, especially on long trips. One should also wear the biggest, bulkiest clothes and shoes on the plane, to save luggage space.

Clothing and shoes should suit a variety of settings. Use accessories, such as ties and jewelry to specialize the outfit for an event.

Section B

Directions: There are several passages in this section. Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A), B), C) and D). You should decide on the best choice.

Passage One

Questions 31 to 35 are based on the following passage.

The past ages of man have all been carefully labeled by anthropologists. When the time comes for anthropologists to turn their attention to the twentieth century, they will surely choose the label “Legless Man”.

Histories of the time will go something like this: “in the twentieth century, people

forgot how to use their legs. Men and women moved about in cars, buses and trains from a very early age. There were lifts and escalators in all large buildings to prevent people from walking. The surprising thing is that they didn’t use their legs even when they went on holiday. They built cable railways, ski-lifts and roads to the top of every huge mountain. All the beauty spots on earth were marred by the presence of large car parks.”

The future history books might also record that we were deprived of the use of our eyes. In our hurry to get from one place to another, we failed to see anything on the way. Air travel gives you a bird’s-eye view of the world ― or even less if the wing of the aircraft happens to get in your way. When you travel by car or train a blurred image of the countryside constantly smears the windows. And as for sea travel, it hardly deserves mention. It is perfectly summed up in the words of the old song: “I joined the navy to see the world, and what did I see? I saw the sea.” The typical twentieth-century traveler is the man who always says “I’ve been there.” You mention the remotest, most evocative place and someone is bound to say “I’ve been there” ― meaning, “I drove through it at 100 miles an hour on the way to somewhere else.”

When you travel at high speeds, the present means nothing: you live mainly in the future because you spend most of your time looking forward to arriving at some other place. By traveling like this, you suspend all experience; the present ceases to be a reality: you might just as well be dead. The traveler on foot, on the other hand, lives constantly in the present. For him traveling and arriving are one and the same thing: he arrives somewhere with every step he makes. He experiences the present moment with his eyes, his ears and the whole of his body. At the end of his journey he feels a delicious physical weariness. He knows that sound. Satisfying sleep will be his: the just reward of all true travelers.
