Read the history of “the Big Apple” and answer the questions.
John J. Fitz Gerald, born in 1893, was a horse-racing (赛马) writer for a newspaper in NewYork in the 1920s and was the first to popularize the name “the Big Apple”. One day Fitz Gerald
heard two stablemen (养马人) use the name “the Big Apple” when talking about the New York
City racecourses (赛马场). Fitz Gerald loved the name so much that he named his racing column
(赛马专栏) “Around the Big Apple”. Later many jazz musicians began calling the city “the Big
Apple” to mean that New York was the jazz capital of the world. Soon the name became
connected with the New York City.
In the early 1970s, the city had many problems. The number of visitors was falling. So the
government of the New York City decided to call the city “the Big Apple”, inviting visitors to
“take a bite out of the apple”.

Read the safety tips for travelling and make a mind map.
Travelling to a foreign country is becoming more and more popular these days. How would
you not get lost and stay away from troubles or dangers? Read on for 4 safety tips every traveler
should keep in mind while travelling abroad.
1. Copy Your Passport (And Other Important Items).
If something happens to your passport or other documents (文件) when you are out of the
country, it could take up to 6 weeks for a new one to arrive. Although you might already know
to make a copy of your passport, consider taking photos of all the important documents and
saving them in your phone.
2. Be Careful with Your Money.
Do not keep your credit cards and cash in the same place. Keep some cash in your wallet,and leave some in a pocket in your luggage or another safe location. In addition, put credit cards
in a separate pocket of your purse or day bag from your carry-around cash.
3. Give Charity Smartly.
In many large cities, beggars are everywhere. However, giving them your money directly
may not be the smartest, or safest idea. Instead of handing money out on the street, donate to
the charity organizations relating to the city of your travels.
4. Keep the Emergency Number on You.
Although your mom’s number may be hearted in your memory, here are some important
emergency contacts to store in your phone:
——The nearest embassy (大使馆)
——Nearby hospital, clinic or medical center
——Local police and fire stations
——A local taxi company
——Other numbers you may need in a pinch!
