9、 not enough. 2.Tips for the Solo Traveler When it comes to traveling, sometimes taking a journey alone can be great. Traveling solo allows for a time of introspection (内省), relaxation and self-discovery, when you can take the time to soak in the finer things the world has to offer. The independence

10、gained by going alone allows for the opportunity to experience your choice destination exactly the way you want.Planning Your Trip (1) Where to stay So youve finally decided to take advantage of some well-earned vacation time and visit Prague, the city of your dreams. Because youll be all by yoursel

11、f, the planning of your trip is automatically different. One of the first questions worth addressing is how youre going to spend your time in the beautiful Czech Republic capital.

12、aveling alone means your money is funding the trip, a wise choice would be to stay in youth hostels.

17、 a dictionary If youre heading for a foreign country, dont leave home without a bilingual (双语的) dictionary.

20、e beach, a journal to record your experiences, and maps to educate yourself on the layout of the land (you can get these from a tourism bureau), can make a world of a difference.

For a l0-kiloton (千吨，核弹当量单位) explosion in the air, the fireball will attain a maximum diameter of about 300m; for a l0-megaton (兆吨，核弹当量单位) weapon the fireball may be 4.8 km across. A flash o

33、f heat radiation is emitted from the fireball and spreads out over a large area, but with steadily decreasing intensity. The amount of heat energy received a certain distance from the nuclear explosion depends on the power of the weapon and the state of the atmosphere. If the visibility is poor or t

34、he explosion takes place above clouds, the effectiveness of the heat flash is decreased. The heat radiation falling on exposed skin can cause what called flash burns. A 10-kiloton explosion in the air can produce moderate (second-degree) flash burns, which require some medical attention, as far as 2

35、.4 km from ground zero; for a 10-megaton bomb, the corresponding distance would be more than 32 km. milder burns of bare skin would be experienced even farther out. Most ordinary clothing provides protection from the heat radiation, as does almost any opaque (不透明的) object. Flash burns occur only whe

36、n the bare skin is directly exposed, or if the clothing is too thin to absorb the heat radiation. The heat radiation can start fires in dry, flammable materials, for example, paper and some fabrics, and such fires may spread if conditions are suitable. The evidence from the A-bomb explosions over Ja

37、pan indicates that many fires, especially in the area near ground zero, originated from secondary causes, such as electrical short circuits, broken gas lines, and upset furnaces and boilers in industrial plants. The blast damage produced wreckage that helped to maintain the fires and denied access t

38、o fire-fighting equipment. Thus, much of the fire damage in Japan was a secondary effect to the blast wave. Under some conditions, such as existed at Hiroshima but not at Nagasaki, many individual fires can combine to produce a fire storm similar to those that accompany some large forest fires. The

39、heat of the fire causes a strong updraft (向上排气), which produces strong winds drawn in toward the center of the burning area. These winds fan the flame and convert the area into a disaster in which everything flammable is destroyed.The example of Hiroshima is given to_.Agive the readers a clear image
