When traveling abroad. it is wise to carry your money in traveler's checks because checks are protected against loss or theft. If your checks are lost or stolen, the issuing authority will refund（賠償）your money.

Not only are they safe, they arc also convenient. They are available in different currencies and they can be cashed at most banks throughout the world. Most shops, hotels and restaurants also accept them. Traveler's checks are very easy to use. When you collect them, you sign each check once. The cashier enters the amount in your passport. When you cash, you sign each check again. The cashier will usually ask to see your passport again too.

To get traveler's checks you usually go to your bank. They can be paid in cash or in other ways. Large amounts, however, must be ordered in advance.

For the safety and convenience of traveler's checks, you are charged two commissions（傭金, 酬勞）：an insurance commission when you buy them and an encashment commission when you cash them.

It is suitable to make a note of the serial numbers of your checks. Keep this separate from your traveler's checks.

Parkour

      The word “parkour” comes from a French phrase roughly translated as “military obstacle course（軍事障礙課程）.” At first glance parkour looks like an extreme sport, and it certainly has many of the same qualities of an extreme sport. However, it is considered by many tracers as more of an art and exercise, which allows for individual expression and also promotes inner strength and personal growth.

      It introduces us to complete freedom from obstacles, and it is this freedom that makes parkour very appealing in strict control of modern society. It is a method that’s available to us at any time to deal with the obstacles facing us, both mental and physical. No obstacle, no barrier can stop the tracer；they continue moving forward in spite of, and in harmony with these.

      While parkour does allow for a great deal of originality, there are certain methods commonly used when practicing it. The tracer chooses his／her own path through the environment to create unique and flowing movement, adapting to and using anything in this path. When many techniques or moves used to overcome obstacles are linked together in an efficient and continuous way, it is known as a “run.” If you see someone that looks like they’re running from the police, but there is no one running after, it’s probably parkour.

      This idea of the chase represents and expresses the movement of parkour quite well. In fact, it is the form of movement that our ancient ancestors may have used to hunt for food, or escape from animals on the plains of Africa. In adapting instantly to whatever comes forth without thinking about it, we naturally flow over and around all obstacles. In practicing parkour, we are reviving and developing that ancient instinct（本能）.

The attitude behind parkour also combines the mentality of a child at play. That unlimited imagination and energy combined with a complete ignoring of social practices epitomizes（成為…的縮影）the tracer. Others look at a rail or wall and see a barrier；we look at it and see a launch pad. And hey, let’s not forget that we do this because it’s fun! The world is our jungle gym, let’s go play！

1．The underlined word in paragraph 1 means

      A．parkour participants                             B．fitness experts

      C．sports psychologists                            D．extreme sports lovers

2．Paragraph 4 is written to          .

A．show the way to develop ancient instinct

B．introduce the evolution of parkour

C．distinguish parkour from ancient instinct

      A．It is an activity dating back to ancient times.

      B．People need to go past anything in the way while doing it.

      C．It’s difficult to do without the aid of professional equipment.

      D．People need military training before taking part in it.

4．People may show interest in parkour because                .

    A．they can get freed from routine activities and tasks
