Passage Two
Places to stay in Britain are as varied as the places you visit. Whatever your budget is , the choice ------- from basic barn to small hotel, from tiny cottage to grand castle ----- is all part of fun.
Hostels
Cheap, good–value hostels are aimed at all types of like–minded travelers, who prefer value over luxury and you don’t have to be young or single to use them. Britain’s independent hostels and backpackers hostels also offer a great welcome. Facilities and prices vary, especially in rural areas, where some hostels are a little more than a bunkhouse (临时住房) while others are remarkably comfortable --- almost like bargain hotels.
Youth Hotels
Founded many years ago to “help all , especially young people of limited means, to a greater knowledge, love and care of the countryside”, the Youth Hotels Association is still going strong in the 21st century . The network of 230 hotels is a perfect gateway for exploring Britain’s towns and countryside.
B&Bs
The B&B (bed and breakfast) is a great Britain institution. In essence you get a room in somebody’s house, and small B&Bs may only have one guest room, so you’ll really feel like part of the family.

Prices reflect facilities; and usually run from around ￡12 to ￡20 per person. City B&Bs charge about ￡30 per person, although they’re often cheaper as you go further out to the suburbs.

Pubs & Inns
As well as selling drinking and meals, Britain’s pubs and inns sometimes offer B&B , particularly in country areas. Staying a night or two can be great fun and puts you at the heart of the local community. Rates range from around ￡15 to ￡25 per person. Pubs are more likely to have single rooms.

Passage One:
Cars are lots of fun, but they could also be dangerous. We have to be careful when we drive them or ride in them.
It’s always a good idea to put on your seat belt when you’re in a car. Why? Think about this example: You put an egg on a skateboard and give it a push. If the skateboard hits a stone, it will stop, but the egg won’t. It will fly through the air, hit the ground and break.
Now, think what would happen if you tied the egg to the skateboard. When the skateboard hits a stone, the egg won’t go flying, it will stay safely on the skateboard
Volvo, a famous Swedish car maker, was the first to use seat belts in 1849.
Air bags are also very important for car safety, because sometimes a seat belt isn’t enough. If the car is going really fast and runs into something, seat belt could even hurt the people who wear them.
