(2025·广东四校期末联考)On July 4，1972, a pair of young newlyweds named Tony and Maureen were on the driveway of a family home in the south of England. 1 Or somewhere.They had a trunk full of food, cooking equipment and some sleeping bags.They believed that their journey across Asia would be nothing more than a little adventure before they settled down to a steady, middle-class life in England.
And it turned out to be just the kind of adventure the couple longed for.They got caught in a snowstorm in the Italian Alps, bumped into a motorcycle in Iran, then sold their car.From there, it was a bus to Pakistan, then on to India.The couple hitchhiked south across Thailand and on through Malaysia and Singapore. 2
Tony and Maureen each lost more than ten pounds in the five and a half months it took them to get from England to Australia. 3 And by the time they made it to Sydney they had precisely twenty-seven cents left to sustain them.
4 The bookshops they could have visited back in England in 1972 would have had precious little to offer in the way of practical advice for their route.
But that’s not to say that Tony and Maureen had nothing to guide them.As they would discover soon, their single best source of information was the other travelers they’d encounter on the road. 5 And these notes would prove to be a very valuable resource for the book Across Asia on the Cheap, beginning of their Lonely Planet guidebooks—the gospel (真理) of adventure travel for tens of millions of readers.
A.They would also exchange information.
B．They once wanted to stop their journey.
C．They’d covered over ten thousand miles.
D．Tony took very careful notes of the information every day.
E．They set out on the final leg of the trip—Australia.
