Leo was a small and thin boy living in a small village.Some boys in the village often bulliedhim and Leo was afraid.
One day，an old wizard （魔法师） went by the village and saw Leo being bullied.So when the bad boys left，he gave Leo a lion's tail. "It's a magic tail." the wizard said， "When someone wears it and acts bravely.he or she will um into a strong lion."" Leo hung the lion's tail behind his body and decided to leach the bed boys a lesson.
But when the boys came，Leo was afraid and tried to run away.Yet they caught him.Suddenly，Leo showed the tail and remembered what the wizard had said.He became brave.He looked them in the eyes and said he would make them regret doing that.Leo felt the goose bumps （鸡皮疙瘩） all over his body， "This means that I am turning into a lion." he thought.The boys ran away in fear.Leo wanted to catch them，but he found his legs were as short as before.
When the wizard saw it，he came to Leo.Leo was very happy，though a little disappointed because his lion body had lasted only a short time.
"You are great." said the wizard， "But have you ever seen a lion fighting？No one fights with lions because they know how brave and strong lions are." Yes.Leo had never seen a lion fighting.He suddenly understood that he didn't really turn into a lion and that what really worked was his brave heart.

There are several ways you can find out about the countries and places you wish to visit. You can talk to friends who have traveled to the places, you can go and see a colour film about them, or you can read a travel book.
It seems that there are three kinds of travel books. The first are those that give a personal, subjective(主观的) idea of travels which their writer has got himself. These books can be useful if the writers share their traveling experiences with others. The second kind are those books which give objective(客观的) information of things to be done and seen. If a cultured person has written such a book about the facts of a place, then it is more useful. The third kind are those books which are called “a guide” to some place or other. If they are good, they will describe and explain the place in detail. Like the first kind , they can be interesting and exciting, but their main purpose is to help the reader plan his travel in the most practical way.
Whatever kind of travel book you choose, you must make sure that the book does not describe everything as interesting, exciting or fantastic. You must also keep an open eyes on its date of publication(出版) because travel is very practical matter and many things change quickly in the 21st century. Finally, you should make sure that it’s easy to find the useful information for your travel.
The passage was written to introduce_______.
| A．travel maps | B．travel books |
| C．travel films | D．travel places |
The writer of the first kind of travel books gave his ideas after he _______.
| A．traveled | B．read books |
