Hi, friends! Do your parents {#blank#}1{#/blank#}you to travel? Greg's dream was to travel around Asia．He got the idea after he finished a long bike {#blank#}2{#/blank#}．

     At first，he {#blank#}3{#/blank#}his parents wouldn't agree to let him go．He didn't tell his parents his idea．He {#blank#}4{#/blank#}told his friend Brooks about it．Brooks also liked riding a bike．They made a plan—to travel from Tokyo to Mumbai(孟买)by bike．

    To pay for the trip，Greg and Brooks tried to {#blank#}5{#/blank#}some money．Before setting out(出发)，they told their parents about their plan．It was {#blank#}6{#/blank#} that their parents agreed．And they got two new {#blank#}7{#/blank#}from their parents．

    On their way, they saw deserts．rainforests and mountains．They visited modem cities and {#blank#}8{#/blank#}villages．And they made many friends．They also learned two new languages一 {#blank#}9{#/blank#}and Japanese．

    Here are some pieces of Greg's advice．

    To have a(n) {#blank#}10{#/blank#}vacation，you shouldn't carry too many things with you．

Be flexible(灵活的)．Don't plan everything．Then you'll be more relaxed and happier．Be polite(有礼貌的), on the way, people will be more likely to help you．
