英語(yǔ)六級(jí)作文：No Big Hurry

　　Everyone is looking for a good investment these days. And with stocks, currencies and companies all foundering, some are finding that taking the trip of a lifetime is actually a smart move right now. Prices are good, crowds are sparse and the dividends―expanded worldview, lifelong memories, the satisfaction of boosting the global economy―cant be easily snatched away. Sylvia and Paul Custerson, a retired couple from Cambridge, England, recently took a 16-day vacation to Namibia, where they went on safari and bird-watching excursions. Later this year, they are planning a trip to Patagonia. Were using our capital now, says Sylvia, 64. And why not? Were not getting any interest in the bank. If its a place we really want to go, were thinking, To hell with it! We may as well travel while were fit and healthy―and before the airlines go bust.

　　Some travel agents are thriving in spite of the economy. Weve had more people booking in the first quarter of this year than last, says Hubert Moineau, founder of Paris-based Tselana Travel, which is planning to introduce a new program of longer adventure trips, including polar expeditions, gorilla tracking and cruises in the Galpagos. Were hearing things like, We dont know what the situation will be in six months so lets travel now. Ashley Toft, managing director of the U.K. tour operator Explore has been surprised to see an uptick in last-minute bookings of high-priced trips to such places as India, Bhutan and Nepal. It seems people would rather give up something else than the big trip, he says. Travel has become a necessity. Its just how we travel that is changing.
