78、ssage.</p><p>　　I was dirty, smelly, hungry and somewhere beneath all that, suntanned. It was the end of an Inter-Rail holiday. My body couldn't take any more punishment. My mind couldn't deal with a

79、ny more foreign timetables, currencies or languages.</p><p>　　"Never again," I said, as I stepped onto home ground. I said exactly the same thing the following year. And the next. All I had to do w

80、as buy one train ticket and, because I was under twenty-five years old, I could spend a whole month going anywhere I wanted in Europe. Ordinary beds are never the same once you've learnt to sleep in the corridor of a

81、 train, the rhythm rocking you into a deep sleep.</p><p>　　Carrying all your possessions on your back in a rucksack makes you have a very basic approach to travel, and encourages incredible wastefulness that

82、 can lead to burning socks that have become too anti-social, and getting rid of books when finished. On the other hand, this way of looking at life is entirely in the spirit of Inter-Rail, for common sense and reasoning

83、can be thrown out of the window along with the paperback book and the socks. All it takes to achieve this carefree attitude is one o</p><p>　　Any system that enables young people to travel through countries

85、 and from our chosen camp-site in southern France. But the idea of non-stop travel proved too tempting, for there was always just one more country over the border, always that little bit further to go. And what did </

86、p><p>　　We were not completely uninterested in culture. But this was a first holiday without parents, as it was for most other Inter-Railers, and in organizing our own timetable we left out everything except th

87、e most immediately available sights. This was the chance to escape the guided tour, an opportunity to do something different. I took great pride in the fact that, in many places, all I could be bothered to see was the vi

88、ew from the station. We were just there to get by, and to have a good time doi</p><p>　　The excitement of travel comes from the sudden reality of somewhere that was previously just a name. It is as if the ci

89、ty in which you arrive never actually existed until the train pulls in at the station and you are able to see it with your own tired eyes for the first time.</p><p>　　Questions:</p><p>　　51. At

90、the end of his first trip, the writer said "Never again" because ______.</p><p>　　A. he felt ill B. he disliked trains</p><p>　　C. he was tired from the journey D. he had lost money<
