3 Read the following passage then answer the questions.

planning and very careful preparation – this is hard work Having set off, you will probably have to spend hours
in stuffy airports because of endless delays Flying, as everyone knows, is itself a stressful experience for most
people Finally, you arrive in an unfamiliar environment with perhaps no knowledge whatever of the local language It is almost like becoming a child again: one feels so helpless and stupid Imagine not being able to explain what you want to eat to a waiter or where you are staying to a taxi driver!

A a trip’s careful preparation B a trip’s planning
C waiting hours for the plane D both A and B
3 What does “stuffy” in line 5 mean?

4 What is the writer’s attitude toward foreign travel ?
5 The following can’t be concluded from the passage except that
