　　The Backpacking Trip in London
　　Eurail pass1? Check. Travel partner and best friend? Check. Enough clothes andsupplies to last two months abroad1? I sure hope so.
　　After scouring2 the Web for bargains3, we book4 our flight to London. We've been studying maps, youth hostel websites, and train routes since January. Now with our last semester of high school behind us, we embark5 a new adventure: the classicsummer backpacking trip.
　　Upon arriving at the airport, we take the Tube and head toward our youth hostel in the city center. With our money belts tucked6 inside our jeans, we emerge7 from the Underground 2, and I begin to study the map I printed from the Internet. Within a few minutes, my face wrinkles into a look of confusion. Luckily, a friendly Londoner notices we need help and points us in the right direction. The receptionist at the hostel's front desk tells us where to leave our things, so we lock up our backpacks and set out. Following a proper meal of fish and chips, we spend the afternoon photographing Big Ben, Buckingham Palace, and Piccadilly Circus.
　　Back at the youth hostel that evening, we chat with our roommates. They are from California, and London is their last stop before heading back
　　home. Later, we join some Canadian backpackers in the lobby, and we all go out to a pub for dinner. So far, all the hostellers8 we've met have been friendly and full of travel tips and suggestions. If this is a taste of what the next two months will be like, I could really get used to the life of a backpacker!
　　1
　　Eurail pass（欧洲铁路通票）是一种供非欧洲籍旅客使用的火车票，旅客可在特定的期限内，持票于欧洲各国自由旅游。
　　2 伦敦市区的地下交通系统，称为the Tube或the Underground。
　　After You Read
　　A. Reading Skill: 推论
　　通常作者会在文中省略一些信息，除了认为没有必要描述所有细节外，也相信读者会利用故事里的线索和自身的经验找到那些“遗漏”的内容。当你想到那些省略的信息时，你便完成了一次“推论”（Making Inference）。“推论”代表依照自身的经验、专业知识等，做出有一定依据的猜测。虽然你不能保证完全准确，但至少可以根据故事情节做出合理的推测。
　　1. Use the chart to help you think about how to make an inference.
　　2. Why do you suppose the backpackers scour the Internet for bargains before
　　booking their flight to London?
　　3. Why do the backpackers tuck their money belts into their jeans?
　　4. When the narrator writes, "I could really get used to the life of a backpacker,"what can you infer she means by this exclamation?
　　B. Word Study: 指“人”的词尾
　　指“人”的词尾：-er, -ist, -ian, -tor, -ive, -ee
　　在本篇文章中，我们看到“backpacker”这个词，“-er”这类词尾多具有“人”或“物”的含意，进而形成另一个意义不同的名词。了解这些词尾的变化，对于词汇量的扩充有很大的帮助。
　　要注意的是，并非以“-er”结尾的单词都是用来形容人的，它也能用来表示形容词。
　　在本篇文章里，以“-er”作词尾的单词皆不指“人”，如: proper, semester, summer,center和dinner。
　　C. Exercise

　　2. The main purpose of the story is to　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　.
　　a. suggest that readers should travel with a partner

　　a. They book their flights through a travel agent.
　　b. They take care to keep their money safe.
　　c. Their fellow backpackers are rude and unhelpful.
　　d. They take a group tour around the city.
