问题 Why do people leave home to travel according to the passage? [br]  
People enjoy taking trips, but what are the reasons they leave home? One reason is for education. People travel because they want to broaden their horizons to learn about other people and other places. They are curious about other cultures. When people are tourists, they get a quick look at different ways of living. Even a short look at another kind of lifestyle is an important lesson.
     On a trip, a person can learn directly —by visiting museums and historic spots. What does a tourist learn who sees the art museums, visits the historical palaces and other scenic spots in Paris, and shops along the River Seine? He gets a vivid picture — a real-life one — of the French people. He learns about their attitudes, how they feel about business, beauty, and history.
     What about the tourist who goes to Hong Kong? Does he get the same information that he could get from a book? He might read that Hong Kong is crowded, that there is less than 200 square meters of space for each person, but seeing and feeling the lack of space will impress him much more. He might read that there are nearly 200 vehicles for every kilometer of roadway, but the sight of so many vehicles parked along the roadside will be a much more vivid lesson. The tourist to Hong Kong will never forget the contrasts — the straight vertical lines of the tall modem buildings and the moving lines of boats that the people live in.

选项 A、It helps develop our personalities.
B、It enables us to acquire first-hand knowledge.
C、It makes our life more interesting.
D、It brings about changes in our lifestyle.

答案 B

解析 本题属于主旨题,可以从上几题中得到一些提示。第17题提到了旅游的目的之一是教育,而第18和19题提到了获取这种教育的方式,即on a trip, a person can learn directly,B 中的acquire first-hand knowledge与此表述一致,故为答案。
