单选题 The real threat to travel is that our sense of wonder will vanish along with all the exotic destinations. Far is not so far anymore. When I took my first long trip to India in 1990, I didn't speak to my parents for five months because the phone lines were so bad. I collected my mail at the post office counter each time I arrived in a new town, and wrote home on crinkly airmail paper to save postage. At 37, I am not yet old — but these details already belong to a very old-fashioned world. E-mail and Internet cafes have made the letter home seem as quaint as sealing wax. And if a young traveler went five months without calling nowadays you would assume the worst. In fact, the world is converging, thanks to cheap flights and computers, cable television, mobile-phone networks and the development of commercial activities that have put Irish pubs in cities as far apart as Baku. And yet, the purpose of travel remains the same — to encounter the unfamiliar, to get Elsewhere. It's a place of charm and change which can be difficult to reach, but which promises to enrich your understanding of the world, and reflect your own life back at you. Throughout history the existence of Elsewhere has been a given. Traditionally, it was very close, rarely more than a day's walk away. But the same global culture that now draws us together also threatens to tame elsewhere with uniformity. I traveled by plane through a wilderness of snow in 2002 to visit the nomads in northern Siberia, only to find myself in a wooden house watching a Hollywood submarine movie with them. I wanted to eat local foods and talk about shamanism; they wanted to drink whisky and discuss Mr. Bean. Our appetite for more and more exotic destinations is partly driven by this sense that elsewhere is disappearing, like a once common animal, retreating further into the woods as its numbers decreased. It's almost a relief when you come across indisputable national traits: weepy Russians quoting Pushkin, Argentines dancing the tango. The danger is that as travel becomes easier, and places change to accommodate the similar appetites of global tourism, we will lose the sense of wonder that travel has always inspired. And if we lose sight of Elsewhere, then we are no longer provoked by its unfamiliarity, challenged to open our eyes and look at our own lives afresh. "Here," laments the poet Philip Larkin, "no elsewhere underwrites my existence." Nothing lifts your heart like the first sight of home after time spent Elsewhere — those initial moments when the known is strange again. Our native planet never seemed so spectacular as when we first saw it from the moon. So the answer is not to take to space tourism, but to recognize that the close and familiar can have as much power to surprise us as the temples of Angkor Wat, or the snowy Andes, or any other Elsewhere you choose.
