While he used to depend mostly on hotels, he now also has motels, small or large, from which to choose.Hotels go far back into history. There may have been inns as long ago as 500 B.C., when adventurous Greek began to go around the world. There were hotels at Pompeii, too. Their damaged foundations were discovered in the 1800s, but they tell very little of how these hotels were operated.We have information about hotels in the Orient in the thirteenth century. Merchants and their followers travelled from Egypt and Europe into Asia through trade routes. Places in which these travelers could find shelter for the night gradually grew up along the way. At first they were only plots of ground near a spring. A little later, the plots of ground were enclosed within high walls for the protection of the travelers. Still later, roofs were built over the walls. And then, hotels appear. In time they began to serve food and drink.During the early Middle Ages inns were extremely important. When civilization was centered in southern Europe and in the East, travelers who lived at great distances from one another met in inns. Travel then was a leisurely affair, and people spent days exchanging news and comment. They discussed the customs of their different countries and told one another facts, fables, poems, and stories. This word-of-mouth exchange played a great part in the spread of civilization.The first inn to be identified by a particular name was the Great St. Bernard, established about 962 A.D. It was located in the Alps for the convenience of tired pilgrims on their way to Rome. It was a massive stone structure offering shelter for approximately three hundred people and capable of supplying beds for seventy service to travelersin this case, the famous dogs kept by the monks to track down travelers who had lost their way. 19.

They are mostly found in wheat or corn fields, but have also been found in oat, rape, and barley. Crop circles are also referred to as crop formations, because they are not always round in shape.While the exact date crop circles began to appear is unknown, such cases have greatly increased from the 1970s to current times. Twenty-six countries ended up reporting approximately ten-thousand crop circles, in the last third of the 20th century, and 90% of those were located in southern England.Many of the formations appearing in that area are positioned near ancient monuments, such as Stonehenge. Nearly half of all circles found in the UK are located within a 15km radius of Avebury. Formations usually are made overnight, but have also been made during the day. The most widely known method for a person or group to make a crop formation is to tie one end of a rope to an anchor point, and the other end to a board which is used to crush the plants. More recent methods include the use of a lawn roller.Some crop formations are paid for by companies who use them as advertising. Other formations are sometimes claimed by individuals or groups. But they dont have any evidence to support their assertion. In 1991, Doug Bower and Dave Chorley said that they had started the phenomenon in 1978 by making actual circles on crops with the use of simple tools. However, crop patterns not only still existed, but became extremely complex. Some of them even look like the creatures from outer-space in science fiction movies, thus leading to wide guess and debate.25. What would be the best title for this passage?A.
