5. For travellers’ needs

A. The residents of the southern United States are particularly warm to visitors, ready to welcome them to their homes and to the South in general. Food places an important role in the traditions of southern hospitality. A cake or other delicacy is often brought to the door of a new neighbor as a means of introduction. When a serious illness occurs, neighbors, friends, and church members generally bring food to that family as a form of support and encouragement.
B. Destination spas exist for those who only can take a short term trip, but still want to develop healthy habits. Guests reside and participate in the program at a destination spa instead of just visiting it for a treatment or pure vacation. Typically over a seven-day stay, such facilities provide a program that includes spa services, physical fitness activities, wellness education, healthy cuisine and special interest programming.
C. When people travel, stay in a hotel, eat out, or go to the movies, they rarely think that they are experiencing many-sided, vast and very diverse hospitality industry. The tourism industry is very challenging for those who work there, as they should be able to meet a wide variety of needs and to be flexible enough to anticipate them. The right person to help us feel at home likes working with the public, and enjoys solving puzzles.
D. Ten years ago, with the help of friends and family, Veit Kühne founded Hospitality Club as a general-purpose Internet-based hospitality exchange organization. Now, it is one of the largest hospitality networks with members in 226 countries. This is a completely free organization, which involves no money. The core activity is the exchange of accommodation, when hosts offer their guests the possibility to stay free at their homes.
E. To the ancient Greeks and Romans, hospitality was a divine right. The host was expected to make sure the needs of his guests were seen to. In the contemporary West, hospitality is rarely associated with generously provided care and kindness to whoever is in need or strangers. Now it is only a service that includes hotels, casinos, and resorts, which offer comfort and guidance to strangers, but only as part of a business relationship.
F. A bed and breakfast is a type of overnight accommodation with breakfast offered in someone’s private home. This type of service was established in Europe many years ago and its roots lie a long way back in history when monasteries provided bed and breakfasts for travelers. But the term appeared in the UK only after World War II, when numerous foreigners needed a place to stay and local people opened their homes and started serving breakfast to those overnight guests.
G. Hostels are nothing more than budget oriented, sociable accommodation where guests can rent a bed, and share a bathroom, lounge and sometimes a kitchen. But somehow there are misconceptions that a hostel is a kind of homeless shelter, a dangerous place where young people can face potential threat. This does not reflect the high quality and level of professionalism in many modern hostels.

A.
The mountains of Scotland (we call them the Highlands) are а wild and beautiful part of Europe. A golden eagle flies over the mountains. A deer walks through the silence of the forest. Salmon and trout swim in the clean, pure water of the rivers. Some say that not only fish swim in the deep water of Loch Ness. Speak to the people living by the Loch. Each person has a story of the monster, and some have photographs.

Arrival can be the hardest part of a trip. It is late, you are road-weary, and everything is new and strange. You need an affordable place to sleep, something to eat and drink, and probably a way to get around. But in general, it’s a wonderful trip, full of wonderful and unusual places. Whether it is the first stop on a trip or the fifth city visited, every traveller feels a little overwhelmed stepping onto a new street in a new city.
E.
No zoo has enough money to provide basic habitats or environments for all the species they keep. Most animals are put in a totally artificial environment, isolated from everything they would meet in their natural habitat. Many will agree that this isolation is harmful to the most of zoo inhabitants, it can even amount to cruelty.
F.
A new London Zoo Project is a ten year project to secure the future for the Zoo and for many endangered animals. The plan has been devised by both animal and business experts to provide world-leading accommodation for all our animals, to more fully engage and inform people about conservation issues, to redesign certain aspects of Zoo layout.
G.
Leave-no-trace camping is an increasingly popular approach to travel in wilderness areas. As the term suggests, the goal is for the camper to leave as little impact as possible on the place he is visiting. One of its mottos is “Take nothing but pictures. Leave nothing but footprints.” Its simplest and most fundamental rule is: pack it in, pack it out, but it goes beyond that.

Nenets Culture affected by Global Warming
For 1,000 years the indigenous Nenets people have migrated along the 450-mile-long Yamal peninsula in northern Russia. In summer they wander northwards, taking their reindeer with them. In winter they return southwards.
But this remote region of north-west Siberia is now being affected by global warming. Traditionally the Nenets travel across the frozen River Ob in NovemberA __________ around Nadym. These days, though, this annual winter migration is delayed. Last year the Nenets, together with many thousands of reindeer, had to wait until late December B __________.
“Our reindeer were hungry. There wasn’t enough food,” Jakov Japtik, a Nenets reindeer herder, said. “The snow is melting sooner, quicker and faster than before. In spring it’s difficult for the reindeer to pull the sledges. They get tired,” Japtik said.
Herders say that the peninsula’s weather is increasingly unpredictable – with unseasonal snowstorms C __________, and milder longer autumns. In winter, temperatures used to go down to -50°C. Now they are normally around -30°C, according to Japtik. “Obviously we prefer -30°C. But the changes aren’t good for the reindeer D __________,” he said, setting off on his sledge to round up his reindeer herd.
Here, in one of the most remote parts of the planet, there are clear signs E __________. Last year the Nenets arrived at a regular summer camping spot and discovered that half of their lake had disappeared. The water had drained away after a landslide. The Nenets report other curious changes – there are fewer mosquitoes and a strange increase in flies. Scientists say there is unmistakable evidence F __________.

In the contemporary West, hospitality is rarely associated with generously provided care and kindness to whoever is in need or strangers. Now it is only a service that includes hotels, casinos, and resorts, which offer comfort and guidance to strangers, but only as part of a business relationship. |
| F. |
A bed and breakfast is a type of overnight accommodation with breakfast offered in someone’s private home. This type of service was established in Europe many years ago and its roots lie a long way back in history when monasteries provided bed and breakfasts for travelers. But the term appeared in the UK only after World War II, when numerous foreigners needed a place to stay and local people opened their homes and started serving breakfast to those overnight guests. |
| G. |
Hostels are nothing more than budget oriented, sociable accommodation where guests can rent a bed, and share a bathroom, lounge and sometimes a kitchen. But somehow there are misconceptions that a hostel is a kind of homeless shelter, a dangerous place where young people can face potential threat. This does not reflect the high quality and level of professionalism in many modern hostels. |

A. Mary is a professional dress-maker specializing in exotic costumes. She devotes many hours to crafting mermaid tails and hand-made tops. Her professional mermaid costume includes a tail and a top. A tail is made of the finest silicone that bends naturally with movement and looks beautifully on film and in print. Out of the depths of the water her costume shines with hundreds ot pearls, crystals, and gemstones.
B. Today’s well-educated person uses about 18,000 words. Shakespeare, whose plays written for a small theatre are now performed in more countries than ever before, used over 34,000 different words, thousands of which he made up. For example: accessible, roadway, schoolboy, and watchdog. Many of his phrases have fallen into everyday use in our language today, including, “A horse, a horse! My kingdom for a horse!’’ by Richard III.
C. The Celtic division of the year was into two parts. The winter half was considered the beginning of the year, and the summer half the second part. There were two further subdivisions. so the year was finally divided into the standard four seasons. At each of these four stages, a Fire Festival was celebrated. It involved religious ceremonies, music, storytelling, and poetry. These great festivals were regarded to be the best time.
D. As symbols of respect and courage, knights turned out to be an intriguing mix of all the things that made males the best, as their education included the most effective sorts of exercises for the brain and the human body. Knight tournaments were a good way for the knights to try out the actual travails of fighting and never having to go through the pain and troubles of having to look after themselves, and of their kingdoms.
E. Were there any women pirates in Renaissance England? They were in the minority, but they were never the less there and very able. Lady Mary was a daughter of a pirate and married to a pirate. When her husband died, she recruited her castle staff and went to sea herself. Her luck ran out when she captured a German captain, who was a friend of Queen Elizabeth. So Lady Mary quit piracy … and started selling stolen goods.
F. Russia is an amazing holiday destination. It should be visited during the festival season, as it reveals the rich cultural tradition and fascinating customs of its people. While the festivals come from the Christian legacy Russia shares with Europe and America, the manner of celebration is unique. Enthusiastic travelers suggest planning a Russian holiday during the festival time and to be sure that the memories will last a lifetime!
G. Normally very fine textiles are found in graves. Obviously, the quality of clothing worn in the Middle Ages would reduce with lower ranks, but even the slaves did not wear cloth as rough as people thought in the past and some still do today. Slaves would probably wear their master’s clothes, which may have been very thin in places and not decorated. They would usually receive the underclothes to be worn as overclothes.

Bully
We hope you’ve never been the victim of a bully, but if you have, we know you’d never describe your tormentor as “excellent, a jovial sweetheart…” Surprisingly, bully carried these cheerful meanings as far back as the 1500s. Bully was even used as a synonym for lover. Somewhere in the 1600s, the “fine fellow” lost his charm and became a “harasser of the weak.” The identity crisis gets messier in the 1700s, when bully also meant “protector of a prostitute.”
Clue
No, we aren’t talking about a hint in a scavenger hunt, and we’re not talking about the board game turned into the 1985 classic film staring Tim Curry. Nope, clue used to mean a ball of yarn. The thread interweaving our modern understanding of clue with its ancestor clew winds back to—yep—the 1500s, when its meaning in Old English was less exciting than it is today.
Cute
The cuddly, squishy, ooshy-wooshiness associated with cute today wouldn’t have been understood in the 1700s. Agh! How would we describe “Cute Cat Pushing Kitty in Cart” back then?! Sorry, we digress. The word cute three centuries ago was a shortened form of acute, and thus something that was cute was “clever” or “keen.”
Defecate
Plug your nose, here it goes! So, defecate used to mean “to cleanse, or purify.” Huh. Makes no sense, right? It starts to become clear when you look at where this word comes from: the Latin phrase de faece (“from dregs”). In this sense, feces describes any kind of sediment. You defecate your coffee feces in the trash. You actually taste wine feces (or lees) when you drink a complex, full-bodied glass of chardonnay. We’ve had defecate in the gutter for far too long, especially when we learn that its poopy sense wasn’t even used until the 1800s! In the history of time and defecation, that’s really recent.
Ejaculate
The modern-day meaning of ejaculate has been around since the 1570s, and was shortly followed by a second meaning: “to exclaim suddenly.” Curiously, despite the apparent co-existence of these meanings over time, the second meaning for ejaculate was perfectly acceptable in the day-to-day conversation of conservative 1800s society. That’s certainly changed.
Facetious
Facetious has done a complete 180 over the years. What once meant elegant, refined, and courteous now means to make light of serious issues, in a humorous, sarcastic, or frivolous way. It’s basically impossible to share both of these characteristics at once, unless you’re Frasier Crane.
Flirt
You know how sometimes all it takes is one “eye-five” at a bar (you know, when eyes meet? Just roll with it), for someone to think you’re flirting? Unfortunately, that’s a fairly frequent scenario, and if the archaic meaning of flirt had any oomph now, the person-who-shall-remain-clueless would know to head the other way. In the 1500s (we’re ba-ack!), flirting meant “to turn up one’s nose or sneer at”, or “to flick, as with the fingers.”
Guy
Guy has had a long journey: First, a rope or chain, then a proper noun, and finally, a way of addressing a group of…anyone, really. Guy became a proper noun thanks to Guy Fawkes, a plotter in the failed assassination attempt of King James I in 1605. Guy’s face has since become a symbol of protest against tyranny (thanks, in large part, to illustrator David Lloyd’s caricature mask designed for V for Vendetta). The word guy eventually described a “grotesquely or poorly dressed person” in early 1800s Britain, and it didn’t achieve its informal status as “fellow” in American English until the 1840s.
Hussy
Long ago, hussy was merely a synonym for housewife or mistress of the household (the Old English word for house is hus). Originally pronounced huzzy, it gradually came to embrace all women and girls. But, by the 1650s, hussy acquired negative connotations, signifying a female who behaved improperly (By whose standards? We’ll let you guess). By the 1700s, hussies were lewd, immoral, mischievous, and promiscuous women.
Pretty
Pretty started out in Old English as prættig, meaning “tricky, crafty, wily.” Then in the 1300s, pretty grew a full beard and bounded through fire to save damsels in distress. This “manly, gallant” sense gradually gave way by the 1400s to the more familiar “attractive” and “beautiful in a slight way.”
Slut
Sheesh. An offensive term bloated with meaning! Slut made its first appearance on paper in 1402 and referred to “untidy” and “slovenly” habits or appearance. Of course, the term was usually applied to a woman (often a servant), but Chaucer was at least one author who used “sluttish” to describe a man’s appearance (we knew we liked that guy!). At least as early as the 1660s, slut also referred to a rag dipped in lard and burned as a light, or slut lamp. Contemporary usage runs the gamut, from the sense of vilification against women (slut-bashing, slut-shaming), reclamation by some women (SlutWalk, slut pride), and as a non-slur suffix meaning “someone who is passionate about” (volunteer-slut, kale-slut, bungee-jumping-slut). As far as we’re concerned, this word isn’t done evolving.
Brave
In the 1500s, being brave wasn’t a positive trait: It actually meant you were boastful. It’s not a stretch to see the connection between bravery and boasting (think of those plucky people centuries on who still like to crow about their courage). The link becomes even clearer when we see the brav[e] in bravado, or the pompous display of valiance. We might do well to heed our Medieval Latin elders, whose bravo meant “wild, savage,” and bravus “cutthroat, villain” when we describe a person or act as “brave.” There’s a fine line between courage and recklessness!
