Travel Today
Going solo is the way to gof
By D. Toor
How do you usually travel? Do you go with a close friend or a group of friends? Do you join a tour group?
Do you travel with your family?
IIave you ever imagined "going solo"? In the mid 1990s, it was estimated that 9 million Americans
were planning a summer vacation alone. Since then, the number of solo travelers has increased.
You may think that traveling alone would be scary or boring. Well, according to people who do it, that's
not exactl}: true. Solo travelers often have positive experiences: they make new friends, get to know
themselves better, and can make their own schedules.
There are many different things }-ou can do on a vacation alone. Some solo travelers use the time to
learn or practice a sport such as golf, mountain climbing, or scuba diving. Others go and stay on a ranch
and learn how r.o ride a horse. You can prer,end to be a cowboy or a cowgirl for a day!
You may not believe this, but some travelers like to study on their vacation. They even go to "vacation
college" at a university or join a research team as a volunteer worker. It's hard bLit satisfying work. You
can "play scientist" for a week or two while you help someone with their project.
For solo travelers of different ages and genders, there are many travel options, There are tours for
women only and for people over the age of 60. And, of course, there are trips for singles who are looking
for romance. ()ne company offers trips that focus on fine dining----there is time for sightseeing during
the day and for sharing a delicious meal with new friends at night.
The nexr. tie you take a trip some\\ here, xx hy don't you consider going solo?
Bon voyage!

Creating spaces
Jin Hee Park is a student at Stanford University in Califomia. She studies hard, "Of course, I came here
for the academics, she says. "But it doesn't hurt that the campus is so beautiful. I walk arormd sometimes
just to relax."
Alejandro Vega, a banker in Nevr York City jogs almost every evening after work in Central Park. "I
never get bored. The park is so big. I can alu-ays find a different path with a new view."
Niagara I;alls was on Ross Howard's list of places to visit in upstate New York. "The footpaths allow
you to get a wonderful viexv. You can even feel the spray from the falls on your fac.e."
What do these three places-- - - Stanford University, Central Park, and Ixiagara Falls Sr.ate Park- - --all
have in common? They were all landscaped by Frederic:k Law Olmsted. Olmsted (1822-1903) has been
called the "father of landscape architecture,"
In the 1800s, more and more people were moving to the cities. Some communitv leaders became
worried about the quality of life. They began a beautification campaign.
In 1857, a design contest was held for a new park in Neu York City. Olmsted and his partner, Cavert
Vaux, won the contest. Central Park was the finished product---- the first landscaped public park in the
United States. Today, no trip to Nexv York is complete without a visit to this beautiful park.
Later in his life, Olmsted designed landscapes for college campuses, including Stanford University. In
the late 1860s, he joined the "Free Niagara" movement. VIembers of the movement wanted to preserve
the beauty of Niagara I;alls. Despite opposition and pressures from bLisiness to industrialize the area,
Olmsted and others resisted. Olmsted designed footpaths to gix-e visitors better views of the falls. In all
his work, Olmsted preferred to preserve the natural beauty of an area.
Today, there are pressures again to develop Niagara. On Goat Island, an island in Niagara Falls State
Park, there are now souvenir shops. There may be signs that sax. "I\o Littering," but there is still a lot of
trash on the island. Most of the animals have disappeared. What would Frederick J.aw Olmsted say to all
this?

r lives are called "stressors." Some of them are nunor,
such as uncomfortable air conditioning or a loudly ringing telephone. Others are more serious. Such as the
death of a spouse. That event tops the list as life's most stressful event.
You might be surprised to learn about the top 20 life stressors. Getting a divorce, for example, is
number 2 0n the list. Ancl not all stressors are unhappy events. Pregnancy is a happy time for most
families. It may also cause stress. Pregnanc.y is right below retirement on the list of life's major stressors.

A. Listen to the passage "Surprising syndromes of modern life." Then list the names of the five
syndromes (medical conditions) mentioned.
Surprising syndromes of modem life
R4argaret's friend is taking a new job in a faraway city. She wants to hold a farewell dinner party at her
home. But she can't. Margaret suffers from CHAOS (Can't Have Anyone ()ver Syndrome). Her apartment

is messy and she's embarrassed by it. "I've never been a tidy person," she says. "I\4y best friend gave me
some good advice. He told me to get a maid."
Today it's so easy to get information-- and lots of it. We receive telephone calls all day long. People
expect a quick response to their faxes, text messages, and e-mail messages. I;or some people, it's too
much. They have information fatigue syndrome. There is so mLich information, they become paral}-zed
and can't think clearl}:. "I can't sleep at night because I worr}:," says Bahman, a college senior. "It's
terrible."
Ilurry sickness is a straightforward name for dnother syndrome of modern life. "I'm always rushing.
get headaches a lot. Taking aspirin seems to help," says Mari, a mother of two and a part-time company
employee. Do you engage in "deskfast" (eating breakfast at your desk at work) more than once a week?
Then you, too, may suffer from hurry sickness!
We've all complained about having too much work to do. Well, now about not having enough work?
IO。25

Underload syndrome is caused by having little or nothing to do at the office. You have to pretend that
}-ou're working. Steven works as a project manager. "I can finish my work in about four hours, but I'm
afraid to say anything about it. I don't want to be assigned too much work!" In severe cases, people with
this syndrome can get very bored and even became depressed.
Chances are you'xe experienced phone neck before. Another name for it would be "pain in the neck,"
because that's what people with this condition experience. Ilolding the phone between your neck and your
ear for a long time causes phone neck. A good long message is the suggested treatment for this
syndrome.
Track 3-4-6
B. Listen again. Then complete the chart about each syndrome and its treatment in your own words. If a
treatment is not mentioned, write NV. I in the chart.

It can't be derued: there has been a ceU phone boom in the last decade. Everywhere you go, people seem
to be talking on the telephone. How do people feel about cell phones? Our on-the-street survey found some
interesting answers.
Sixty-nine percent of the people xve asked think cell phones are convenient and save time. I\ineteen
percent use cell phones only w hen they have to. A small percentage----only three percent----think cell
phones are unnecessary. Another three percent say they are addicted to their cell phones!
There have been some problems associated with cell phones. Some cities have passed la\v s affecting
cell phone use. For example, in some places, it is nox\~ illegal to drix-e and use your cell phone at the same
time. A survey asked people about cell phones and laws. Here is how they answered.
There should be laws about cell phone usage ...
in classrooms, theaters, and restaurants. 57%
while driving. 4')t7c.
on public transportation. 34%
One thing is sure about cell phones: everyone has an opinion about how and w hen t,hey should be used!
Listen to w hat these four people had to say:
Phil: I'm Phil, I love talking on the phone. I keep my phone next to my bed. I even take it with me into
the bathroom! My friends say that I am "ce// phone crazy."
Sherry: I'm Sherry, I live in the country. I\4y nearest neighbor is 25 miles awax'f. VIy cell phone makes
me feel safe. I can call someone in an emergency.
Eric: I'm Eric, I think cell phones are unnecessar}'r. Why do people use them so often, especially in
public places? I think it's a form of noise pollution!

Australia, Cdnada, Europe, South America, a

nd the United States) face each other. There are summer
sports (in-line skating, biking, and skateboarding) and winter ones (skiing and snowboarding). Most "X
Gamers" are male, but there are a few women. One woman, in particular, stands out from the crowd. Her
name is Fabiola da Silx a. She's an in-line skater and she comes from Brazil.
There are two different in-line skating categories: park and vert. In the park event, skaters compete on

a course r.hat has ledges, handrails, and other obstacles. In the vert event, skaters do tricks in a half pipe.
They try to fly high in the air and spin. Fabiola competes in both events. She has been skating for years
and she has always dominated the women's events.
Fabiola would like to see more women in the X Games, but she's not afraid of the guys. F.ver since she
received her first pair of skates at the age of 12, she's played with boys. Ixow she skates in competitions
with them and she beats many of them.
Fabiola's mother was a housekeeper. It was hard, but she saved her money to buy Fabiola's skates. It
was a good investment. Fabiola has traveled abroad for events and become famous in the skating world.
Success hasn't gone to her head, though. She's a typical young woman of the world: She has a boyfriend
likes to listen to rock music, and prefers health}- foods. She doesn't seem to care much about the attention
she gets.
