Passage One
Long time ago, the ancient people could not travel to any faraway places for they had no instruments to carry them across the wide oceans, the deep valleys, long rivers or the high mountains.
Nowadays men take advantage of steamships, trains, airplanes for modern bridges. Airplanes can carry us to the far countries in a short time; steamships can travel across the wide oceans. It is convenient to the modern people.
Travelling is a good idea to us because we can get more knowledge about, such as the custom, the geography of other countries. And the people could travel among the different countries in the world. For it is easy to travel from the land by trains, or from the sea by ships.
We learnt that the Italian who made the world larger was Mr. Christopher Columbus. He was a brave man. Up to the middle of the 15th century, the people were afraid of travelling because they believed it was a dangerous thing.

A. it is interesting
B. it is cheaper than to go in any other way
C. it can cross the wide oceans
D. it takes less time
