    Eurorailing Reading and Comprehension   Thanks to their extended summer vacations, students are in the enviable position of being able to travel around Europe by rail and see the sights on the cheap. This article points out some of the pros and cons of travelling by train.   The sense of freedom offered by rail travel is unrivalled by any other, except perhaps the less safe opinion of hitchhiking. Trains are also great way to meet local people and compared with other long-distance modes of transport, the greenest you can get. Rail travel allows you to explore the hidden corners of the continent, especially areas where rural lines are still open and trains are still the most common form of public transport. It's also a relaxing way to travel, whether you’re using it as a cheap bed for a night; or as a ring-side seat for a series stunning views.   The first step before you go is to choose one of the euro rail schemes available. After that, there are a few tips to bear in mind before you leave. Budgeting always causes headaches and it’s worth finding out which are the expensive and the cheap countries. It's sensible to take some cash, but you should take most of your money in traveller's cheques. Choose a well-known brand and buy small denominations.   Your most important piece of equipment is your backpack, and it's worth choosing one that's comfortable and light, sits just above your hips, and it's high rather than wide when full. A day-pack is useful for sightseeing, and a pair of comfortable walking shoes is vital, along with dark, hard wearing clothes. As a general rule, put out everything you want to take, and then halve it. Some things, however, should not be left behind. An alarm clock (so you don’t miss those early trains); a scarf to cover your shoulders or legs for visits to churches or mosques; photocopies of all your important documents, best packed separately or given to a travelling companion; toilet paper, soap and a universal plug, a Swiss army penknife, numerous plastic bags; a water bottle and a small first aid kit.   The fun really starts once you’re out there, of course – hunting for a hostel at 10:00 p.m., being ripped off by a taxi driver who claims there are no buses to your campsite or being turned away from a famous tourist attraction for wearing shorts. There are compensations for these frustrations (which make the best stories afterwards, anyway!), but many problems can be avoided if you’re aware of the potential pitfalls before you leave.   The golden rule is not to try to cram too much into the time available. Trying to see the whole of Europe in a month, by spending every night on a train and afternoon on each capital city will result in a unsatisfactory blur of shallow impressions. It is also a recipe for disaster, as you will be tired, grumpy and unreceptive for most of your trip. Instead, try to vary your route, mixing visits to cities with relaxing spells on the beach or in the countryside.   Each year a few unlucky travellers have their valuables stolen. The best way to prevent this is to carry them with you at all times, preferably in a money belt or a neck pouch. This is especially important on night trains, where most thefts occur. Another sensible precaution is not to sleep rough – you’re just asking for trouble. Watch out for conmen at stations: they’ll try to persuade you to accept a room, tempting you with glamorous pictures of a hotel which turns out to be awful and whose price will have doubled by the time you reach it. Far better to go and see accommodation yourself before accepting it. And if you're on a tight budget, it's always worth asking if they got anything cheaper. These ideas are really just common sense, but it’s amazing how often they are overlooked. But the most important tip of all is – have fun! The main purpose of this text is to:

    • A.

      Emphasize the many advantages of rail travel.

    • B.

      Highlight the problems associated with rail travel.

    • C.

      Promote and advertise rail travel.

    • D.

      Give advice to students about rail travel.

    Correct Answer
    D. Give advice to students about rail travel.
    Explanation
    The text provides advice and tips to students who are planning to travel around Europe by rail. It mentions the sense of freedom and the opportunity to meet local people that rail travel offers. It also advises students to choose a euro rail scheme, budget wisely, pack essential items, and be aware of potential pitfalls. The text concludes by emphasizing the importance of having fun. Therefore, the main purpose of this text is to give advice to students about rail travel.

    Rate this question:

  • 32. 

    The writer advises the students to take: 

    • A.

      Money in more than one form

    • B.

      No cash

    • C.

      Only traveller's cheques

    • D.

      A credit card

    Correct Answer
    A. Money in more than one form
    Explanation
    The writer advises students to take money in more than one form because it provides them with flexibility and security. By having multiple forms of money, such as cash, traveler's checks, and a credit card, students can ensure that they have options for different situations. Cash can be used for smaller purchases or in places where cards are not accepted, traveler's checks can be a safer alternative to carrying large amounts of cash, and a credit card can provide a convenient and widely accepted payment method. Having money in multiple forms reduces the risk of being left without any means of payment while traveling.

This implies that they may have a lack of interest or motivation in learning a new language. The other options, "shy," "unaccustomed," and "inhibited," do not convey the same meaning as reluctant and are not suitable in this context.
