　London is my favorite city in the world and it's a place that draws me back to it again and again.

　My first trip to London at the age of 19 was my first solo trip anywhere. I found a homestay program in one of my guidebooks so I spent my first several days staying on the outstreets of London near Ealing Broadway. Each morning the older lady I was staying with would come into my room and place a cup of tea by my bedside and then wake me up so I could have breakfast and start my day of sight-seeing. It was like having my own British grandmother.

　　 On that first trip to the UK, which was three weeks long, I decided to spend a week in London and then the rest of the time in Liverpool with a pen pal of mine. Well, after traveling up to Liverpool and spending two days with him, I found we really weren't such great friends after all, so I decided to take the boat from Liverpool to Dublin and make my way to County Galway to see my family. Partly, I wanted to go to Ireland. And partly, I just wanted to get away from my pen pal and couldn't afford a whole week on my own in England, so family to the rescue!

　　 After a great week in Galway with my relatives, I went back to London for a few more days and ended up staying with some relatives there I didn't even know I had.One of the funny things about that entire trip was that every single day when I was in London it rained. The only time it didn't rain was the week I spent in Ireland.

60. How did the writer travel to Dublin?

　 A. On foot.　　　　 B. By plane.　　　 C. By boat.　　　 D. By train.

61. The writer spent most of his days in

　 A. London　　　　 B. Liverpool　　　 C. Ireland　　　　 D. Galway

62. According to the passage, it can be concluded that when the writer was in London .

　 A. it rained every day

　 B. his pen friend showed him around

　 C. he spent most of time with an old lady

　 D. he had a cup of tea for breakfast every morning

63. This passage is

　 A. a description　　　 B. a narrative　　 C. an argument　　 D. an advertisement
