Max Woosey is now 12 years old and lives in Devon, England. In March 2021, he encouraged about 1,000 young people to take part in the Big Camp Out to raise money for charity. The event started one year after Woosey camped outside in his garden to raise money for a hospice.
Hospices care for people who are ill and near the end of their lives. Woosey wanted to help the hospice because it looked after his neighbor Rick Abbott. So on March 29, 2020, Woosey slept outside in a tent. The tent came from Abbott. When Abbott gave him the tent, he said, “Max, I want you to promise me you will have an adventure in it.”
Woosey wouldn’t forget his promise. He soon went camping and stayed in the tent for the night. Woosey’s adventure is still going on and so far he has raised more than $73,000. By the time The Week Junior went to press on December 22, Woosey had slept outside for more than 600 days without a break.根据上面短文内容，判断下面句子的正(T)误(F)：( )1. Max Woosey is a boy from America.( )2.

H 读万卷书，行万里路。
As the saying goes, “Read ten thousand books and travel ten thousand miles.” In modern society（社会）, travelling is a very common（普通的） thing. Almost everyone can go on a trip at any time as long as they want to. In fact, centuries ago, some famous people already travelled around China and they got a lot from exploration（探险）.
Xu Xiake, a geographer（地理学家） and writer in the Ming Dynasty, spent more than thirty years on the road four hundred years ago. With his mother’s encouragement（鼓励）, Xu Xiake travelled around China. He met with many difficulties on the road. But he never stopped travelling and writing.
Xu Xiake was on the road all his life, and his travel notes covered as much as his knowledge. His 600,000-word travel notes finally came out in 1776, about 135 years after his death. China Tourism Day(旅游日) is set on May 19th, the date when he started *The Travels of Xu Xiake*(《徐霞客游记》).
Marco Polo(马可·波罗), a businessman born in 1254 in Italy, is known as a travel king in the West. In 1271, Marco Polo with his father and uncle set foot on the Silk Road to China. It took him four years. Along the way, he met bad weather, a shortage（缺乏） of food and water and so on.
They reached Shangdu in Inner Mongolia（内蒙古） in 1275. Kublai Khan gave them a warm welcome there and took them to Dadu, which is now Beijing.
Marco Polo’s hard journey created（创造） one of the world’s first best-sellers（畅销书） *The Travels of Marco Polo* (《马可·波罗游记》). Medieval(中世纪的)readers fell in love with Polo’s wonderful descriptions（描述） of faraway（遥远的） lands and got to know China and Middle Asia.
