 Many travelers prefer to buy foreign currency in their own countries before
they leave, both for convenience and as a hedge against possible market
fluctuations.

Arriving in a foreign country can be a bewildering experience, even for

seasoned globetrotters. By buying your currency beforehand, you can
become acquainted with the value and appearance of the notes and coins,
as well as avoid any exchange commissions applied by foreign banks for the
conversion of foreign currency. It is more convenient to have some local
currency with you immediately upon arrival in a foreign country for the
inevitable initial expenses, such as taxis, meals, and tips, as your arrival
might not coincide with normal banking hours. As soon as you arrive, you
can be ready to go without wasting time lining up to exchange your money.

7. The text mainly tells that before going abroad, travelers should ....
A.  change their money
B.  go through customs
C.  pay for initial expenses

 Alice Walker has written books of poetry and short stories, a biography,
and several novels. She is probably best known for her novel The Color
Purple, published in 1982. The book vividly narrates the richness and
complexity of black people living in rural Georgia during 1920’s and
1930’s. Although the novel was attacked by certain critics when it was
first published, it was highly praised by others and won both the
American Book Award and the Pulitzer Prize for fiction. It became a
best-seller and was made into a successful film by director Steven
Spielberg. The novel gets much of its special flavor from its use of
vocabulary, rhythms, and grammar of Black English, as well as from its
epistolary style. This style of writing was a narrative structure commonly
used by the eighteenth- century novelists, such as Jane Austen and
Jean-Jacques Rousseau.
