Unit 3　Travel journal Around the world in 80 ways How can you travel around the world without ever leaving the earths surface? For many of us，it sounds like an impossible mission(任务)，but an eco－friendly British couple has done just that.They have travelled around the world for 297 days without getting on a single plane. “It feels like a historic achievement，following in the footsteps of great travellers before the plane was invented，”said the couple. Tom Fewins，32，and Lara Lockwood，30，used 78 buses，61 trains，34 cars，18 boats，six bicycles，two mopeds(电动自行车)and one elephant.They wanted to prove that tourists can see the world without producing a large carbon footprint(碳足迹)． So they spent 10 months travelling 44，609 miles through 18 countries on land and seA．They believed that they used less than 3，000 kg of carbon dioxide(二氧化碳)，compared with six times that amount if they had used planes.“We proved you can still be well travelled without damaging the environment，”said Fewins.The pair，who returned home to England two weeks ago，travelled very slowly，taking time to enjoy what was happening around them. The most difficult part of the trip was when they had to persuade the captain of a 100，000－ton cargo ship(货船)to take them from Hong Kong to Long Beach in CaliforniA． Tom proposed(求婚)to Lara when they crossed the International Date Line(国际日界线)in the Pacific.Lara was over the moon (欣喜若狂)：“It was very romantic(浪漫的)．He got down on one knee and I had no hesitation(犹豫)in saying yes.” 【词海拾贝】 1．surface n．表面 2．invent vt.发明；编造 3．prove vt.证明；证实 4．compare vt.比较；对照 5．damage n. v．损害，毁坏 【问题思考】 1．Why did they travel around the world without getting on a plane? _______________________________________________________ 答案：Because they wanted to prove that they could travel well without damaging the environment. 2．When and how did Tom propose to Lara? _______________________________________________________ 答案：Tom proposed to Lara when they crossed the International Date Line in the Pacific
