A seven-night cruise on board a traditional 19th-century-style wooden luxury sailing vessel, which sleeps up to 12 and cruises between Luxor and Aswan, costs from ￡775 per head full board, departing on December 11 through Bales (0845 057 0600; www.balesworldwide.com). Christmas markets in Cologne Perhaps the best of northern Europe’s many Christmas markets is Cologne – there are seven separate themed markets which start opening this week. Cologne is also one of the easiest places to get to by train. Eurostar connections from London via Brussels take just under four hours and return tickets are available this winter from ￡89 (0843 218 6186; www.eurostar.com). For details of accommodation and markets see Cologne Tourism (www.cologne-tourism.com). Skiing in Val Thorens If you want to be sure of snow for skiing in the Alps before Christmas you need to head high – where you will get the advantage of quiet slopes and low prices. A week’s stay at Chalet Eliane costs from ￡399 chalet board through Crystal Ski (0871 231 2256; www.crystalski.co.uk), or, much more luxurious, a week’s half board at the five-star hotel costs from ￡1,195 through Crystal Finest (0871 971 0364; www.crystalfinest.co.uk). Both packages are for departures on December 13. Japanese Onsen Snow monkeys warming themselves in the hot springs at Yudanaka make an endearing sight. As snowflakes fall you may be tempted to climb in yourself (perhaps not the same pool, though). Experience this, overnight at a temple and a ryokan, and see Tokyo and Hiroshima, traveling by bullet train, on the 14-night Japan Unmasked tour: ￡1,600, excluding flights (0117 314 4620; www.insidejapantours.com). 36. The advertisement is mainly aimed at those who       . A. study abroad                            B. often travel around C. want to go shopping before Christmas        D. are fond of skiing in winter 37. Mary loves the idea of shopping during her trip. She will probably contact by calling       . A. 0843 218 6186    B. 0845 057 0600        C. 0871 231 2256        D. 0117 314 4620 38. If you want to go sightseeing by water, you have to book       . A. before December 11                    B. before December 13 C. before Christmas                        D. after Christmas 39.

A. www.crystalfinest.co.uk                B. www.cologne-tourism.com C. www.insidejapantours.com                D. www.balesworldwide.com 40. From the passage we can learn that A. skiing in Val Thorens is high in price B. Eurostar is the most beautiful area of the city C. a tourist has to warm himself in the hot spring with monkeys D. a Londoner will spend less than 4 hours travelling to Cologne by train B At 26, Jane Goodall had no college education or science training. But since childhood, she had been dreaming of working closely with animals in Africa. “All through my childhood people said you can't go to Africa. You're a girl.” Goodall says. “But my mother used to say, if you really want to, there's nothing you can’t do.” In 1957, the 26-year-old Goodall went to Kenya to work as a secretary. She also arranged to meet the famous scientist Louis Leakey, who was so impressed by her enthusiasm that he hired her as his assistant. She went with him on many trips to the African jungle and in 1960 Leakey sent Goodall to live among chimpanzees in a remote animal preserve, recording the animals’ behavior and interactions. For three months Goodall made little progress. But she says, “I never came close to giving up.” Her breakthrough came one day when she saw a male chimpanzee stick a piece of grass into a termite (白蚁) hill, then put the grass in his mouth. Afterward she came to the hill and did the same. Pulling the grass out, she discovered dozens of termites on it. The discovery — that some animals use tools — was unknown to most scientists at the time.
