五、阅读理解。
Jules Verne's novel, Around the World in 80 Days, has inspired(激励) many people to travel around the world in unusual ways. It has also inspired several films, TV dramas, theatre productions and even a board game.
So where did Jules Verne get the idea from? Jules Verne told a reporter that he had been sitting in a café in Paris one day when he saw a newspaper advertisement for the first ever tourist trip around the world in 1872.
In Jules Verne's story, a wealthy English gentleman, Phileas Fogg, accepts a bet of £20,000 that he can travel around the world in 80 days. Phileas Fogg is a man who is very hard to please. For example, he fires his servant(仆人) because he brings him some water to wash in that is 29°C instead of 30°C. He has a very strict routine(惯例) and he follows it to the letter every day.
Fogg employs(雇佣) a new servant, Passepartout, and on Wednesday, 2nd October 1872, they set off on the journey around the world. While he's in India, Fogg falls in love with an Indian girl, Aouda. The journey ends back in London with Fogg believing that he has arrived a day too late and that he has lost the bet. He tells Aouda that he cannot marry her now, as he's too poor. Passepartout learns that they have got the date wrong. The party travelled east, so they gained a day. Fogg hurries to his club and arrives there in time to win the bet and the story ends happily.
The story is an easy read. The humorous twists and turns of the plot(情节) keep you entertained throughout. It is a romantic adventure story that I would strongly recommend to all my friends.
