Travel writer Tom Bradley loses sleep on the ultimate trip
an 11-day, 29,000-mile journey around the world
I
'm getting on the plane at
Heathrow Airport, when I
realize that I don't want to
goon this journey. I already feel
tired just thinking about it.
But if 1don't go now, I'll waste over
$2,000 on my around-the-world
ticketso I get on the plane.
5,500 miles and eight time zones
later, I get off the plane in L.A. It is
late afternoon, but my body clock is
telling me that it is 5 a .m. When I
get to the hotel, "all Ill want to eat is
toast and jam, not dinner. But if I
don't eat now, I'll feel hungry in the
middle of the L.A. night.
Next morning I wake up, and try
to eat breakfast. Then I go on a
quick tour of Hollywood, before I
catch my next plane. Another 5,500
miles later, and another four time
zones later, I get off the plane in Fiji.
I am exhausted, but this is paradise.
When I have a proper vacation next
year, I'll come back here. I go to the
hotel and lie under a palm tree. But
all too soon, I 'm back at the airport.
Another 1,341 miles and an
international dateline later, we arrive
in Auckland, New Zealand. Next I'm
in Australia, flying from Sydney to
Fremantle. Unfortunately, I don't
have a clear memory of New Zealand
or Australia, except for sheep, a
seaplane, whales, and a waterside
restaurant. I am just too tired.
I wake up 1,603 miles from
Fremantle, and I 'm in Bali in the
Pacific Ocean. I have never felt so
awake before! Bali is beautiful, and I
really enjoy my day here. If I ever
get married, I'll come back here on
my honeymoon.
1,040 miles later, I 'm in Singapore.
How did I get here?
Then Im flying home, still wishing
I was back in Bali. As soon as I get
home, I know I'll start feeling bored!

10 The girl who reads aloud
The Girl Who
Reads Aloud
by JIM YARDLEY
BEIJ ING - Most mornings, while a noisy line of
traffic is driving slowly along the Third Ring Road
into the city center, a girl named Ouyang J unying
leaves her apartment and stands beside the road.
She turns away from the traffic, opens a book, and
starts reading aloud.
It is one of the worst traffic jams in the city, but
Ms. Ouyang, 29, has been doing this every
morning for nearly five years. She is studying
English and believes that the noise helps her to
concentrate.
It is also the reason why she has become a
sort of celebrity. For thousands of motorists,
she is The Girl Who Reads Aloud. While she
is reading, the rest of Beijing stares at her and
wonders, Who is this young woman? How long
has she been standing there? And why is she
reading in such a terrible place?
In Beijing, there are 15 million people living
in small apartments, so there are lots of people
in the city parks, doing everything from tai chi
to ballroom dancing. But Ms. Ouyang doesnt
like the parks. If I study in a park, people always
watch me and I dont feel comfortable. But if cars
pass me in the street, I dont care, she says.
Ms. Ouyang, the daughter of a poor farmer,
came to Beijing in 1995 to look for work. She has
had a number of different jobs. She has also been
studying English for nearly ten years, because she
hopes that it will get her a better job with better
money. Recently she was on local TV! She has
become famous as a person who always works
hard and tries her best.
Since the TV program, she has had a new job.
She has been helping an architect in his work. And
what has she been doing? Teaching him English,
of course!
1 Read the newspaper article and answer the questions.
1. Which road does Ouyang junying live near?
2. What has she been doing every morning for the last five years?
3. Why has she been doing this?
4. What name has she been given by the motorists?
5. How long has she been living in Beijing?
6. Why has she been studying English for so many years?

8. How has she been helping the architect?
