Arriving in New York
There are three airports in New York. When you arrive at one of them, you can take a bus or a taxi to any place in New York.
| Eating out
There are many kinds of food in New York. And you shouldn"t eat at McDonald"s
every day. There are good restaurants in Little Italy and Chinatown, for example.
| Hotels
There are lots of good hotels in New York. The best is the Plaza on the the 5th Avenue, but you don"t have to spend a lot in the city, there are lots of smaller hotels and the YMCA near the Central Park is great for young people.
| Public Transport
In New York, there"s a good bus and subway service. If you are planning to use the subway a lot, you should buy a subway ticket for the journey because it"s cheaper. But you don" t have to use the public transport-there are lots of places you can go to on foot, such as the Empire State Building, the 5th Avenue and the Central Park. The New Taxis are a part of the city experience, so you should take at least one taxi during your visit!
| Places to see
Finally, there are a lot of places to see in New York-the Times Square, the Statue of Liberty, and so on. And you shouldn"t go home without climbing the Statue of Liberty to enjoy the scenery of the city.

As a boy growing up in India，I had longed to travel abroad. I used to listen to the stories my father would tell me about his stay in Canada and tours to Europe in the 1970s，with great interest.
My big moment finally came in the summer of 1998 when I was able to accompany my parents to Europe，where my father was to attend a meeting. We planned to travel to Belgium，Netherlands and West Germany.
I have vivid memories even today of going to Mumbai airport at night all excited about finally going abroad. I had heard several great things about Lufthansa till then but now I finally got to experience them first hand，during the flight to Frankfurt. We flew business class and even today I can remember the excellent service by the Lufthansa crew. The flight was really smooth and thoroughly enjoyable，even for someone like me，who is otherwise scared of flying.
After spending almost two weeks in Europe，we took the Lufthansa airport express from Dusseldorf to Frankfurt airport，for our return flight. What a journey that was! All along the Rhine (莱茵河)，it was simply an unforgettable experience. I was in a sombre mood on the flight back to Mumbai as it marked the end of a wonderful vacation，but the Lufthansa crew members were able to change it into a most enjoyable experience yet again，with the quality of their service.
Being the first airline to take me overseas，Lufthansa will always hold a special place in my heart. Even today，I continue to enjoy flights on Lufthansa and simply cannot dream of choosing any other airline. Flying，in general，for me，has always been an ordeal (terrible and painful experience)．Flying on Lufthansa，however，is something I always have and always will look forward to.
小题1:What made the author so interested in traveling abroad?| A．Growing up in India. | | B．Once staying in Canada. | | C．Once traveling to Canada with his father. | | D．His father"s stories about his traveling experiences. |
小题2:Which of the following is TRUE about the author"s trip to Europe in 1998?| A．The author traveled with one of his parents. | | B．Both their going and return are by air. | | C．They traveled in spring that year. | | D．They stayed in Europe for nearly two months. |
小题3:It can be inferred from the passage that Lufthansa is ________.| A．a city in India | B．a city in Europe | | C．an airline company | D．a travel agency |
小题4:The underlined word “sombre” in the 4th paragraph probably means “________”．| A．happy | B．sad | C．angry | D．enjoyable |
