Extended Reading Food for thought
1. According to the passage, why is travel educational?

答案： It allows people to experience life through a whole new lens, information learned this way is retained longer, and it covers subjects like history, geography and sociology.
解析：从文中“Learning”部分可知，旅行通过新视角体验生活，所学信息记忆更久，涵盖历史、地理、社会学等学科，因此具有教育意义。

2. Why does the writer think travel can offer you the chance to get in touch with yourself?

答案： Getting away from home gives the opportunity to reflect on life with needed time and space, and handling daily issues and opportunities during travel gives insight into who you are.
解析：根据“Getting in touch with yourself”部分，旅行让人远离家乡，有时间和空间反思生活，处理日常问题的方式能让人更了解自己。

Dear Editor,

答案： Dear Editor,
I disagree that travel strengthens relationships. Different plans often cause quarrels. Varying preferences, like pace or activities, lead to conflicts. Long journeys bring fatigue, reducing patience and causing arguments. Thus, travel may harm relationships instead of building them.
解析：信件包含反对观点（disagree），并结合列出的理由（different plans, varying preferences, fatigue），控制在60-80词，结构清晰。
