When you visit America.You will see the word Motel on signs and notice
boards.It is made up of“motor”and“hotel”and it is really a hotel for people who
arrive by car(however,you don’t need a Car to stay at one).You have to pay when
you arrive for your room.which usually has a bath.Meals are not provided,but
there will certainly be a cafeteria(自助餐馆).Americans eat a 1ot of salads and sand-
wiches.Along the main roads there are a10t of motels.Each tries to offer more than
next.Some provide television in every bedroom;others have swimming pools,and
so on.Motels are especially useful when you are in the country,far from a town or
city.You will also find them in the big National Parks.
In these great National Parks,you may meet guests you don’t expect to see. An A-
merican friend told me a little story.In the middle of a moonless night she heard strange
noises outside her motel window in the Yellowstone National Park in Wyoming.Thinki-
ng it might be a thief,she jumped out of bed,opened the door and crept towards a dark
shadow.As she got close,she saw the thief.She was dreadfully frightened:it wasn’t
a human thief—it was a big black bear.The bear was turning over some
empty tins with its paw.100king for tasty bits of food.My friend decided to leave
that particular thief alone!
There ale also.of course,places called“rooming houses”,where they receive
lodgers(房客).You will see such signs as Tourists or Rooms Rent,and you could
try one of these.A word of warming——looking for a room in New York during the
tourist season is like looking for gold on the moon!
