阅读理解Technology has blurred the boundaries between work and play, professional and personal, and career and downtime. Whether it's a digital nomad(数字游牧民) blogging on a Bali beach or a manager checking emails on a Niseko ski lift, people are seamlessly combining work and leisure. The traditional boundary between business and personal travel is fading, giving rise to a new trend known as "bleisure travel."Bleisure travel extends beyond the usual practice of bringing a partner to a conference. Professionals worldwide are increasingly adding weekends or even weeks to their work trips, whether they are traveling alone, with a partner, or as a family. According to Jeanne Liu of the Global Business Travel Association, more than one in three business travelers will incorporate a leisure component into at least one of their trips this year. Contrary to expectations, this trend is not limited to entry-level employees; managers and millennials are equally likely to partake in bleisure travel.Employers are recognizing the benefits of bleisure travel, as it contributes to travel well-being, job satisfaction, and productivity. Taking the opportunity to bring family members along or adding fun elements to a business trip reduces stress and enhances the overall experience. Australians, who face longer working hours and higher travel costs, are particularly receptive to bleisure travel. Guests at business-oriented hotels like Quest St Leonards in Sydney are increasingly opting to have their partners join them for a weekend stay or longer, rather than making quick trips back home.Richard Tonkin, a general manager who frequently travels for work, always extends his trips to explore new destinations. He carefully researches cities and books bike tours as a way to quickly see the sights and discover places of interest. Tonkin's wife, Enza, who works part-time, often accompanies him on these trips and explores the local area or indulges in her own activities, such as shopping or visiting galleries and restaurants.The modern bleisure traveler is typically culturally curious and interested in local cuisine. Hotels like Quest St Leonards ensure their front office staff are knowledgeable about not only popular attractions but also hidden gems and events happening in the area. They provide guests with tailored guides that cater to their specific interests, whether it's offbeat cafes and boutiques or trendy bars and restaurants.The main obstacle for most business travelers considering bleisure is time. Paradoxically(自 相矛盾的是), while technology enables them to work and play at the same time, it also limits their leisure time. However, as the trend continues to gain in popularity, more professionals are finding ways to strike a balance and make the most of their business trips by incorporating leisure activities. （1） Which of the following is a proper description of modern bleisure travelers? A . They prefer to travel alone rather than with a business partner or a family member. B . They tend to be curious about local culture and cuisine, and eager to explore the area. C . They are more interested in attending conferences and business meetings than travelling. D . They are more likely to be entry-level employees than company managers or millennials. （2） What can be inferred about "bleisure travel" from the passage? A . It is primarily embraced by employees with shorter working hours and lower travel costs. B . Limited leisure time gives professionals a chance to strike a balance between work and life. C . Its increasing popularity suggests that professionals prioritize personal experiences over work. D . Family members coming along the bleisure travel will have to follow their partner's schedule. （3） How do some hotels react to the rise of "bleisure travel" according to the passage? A . They are struggling to accommodate travelers due to limited availability and high demand. B . They are indifferent to the trend and do not offer any specific services for bleisure travelers. C . They are discouraging bleisure travel by offering only business-oriented facilities and services. D . They are training staff to know about local travelling information and offering tailored guides. （4） The passage mainly talks about ____. A . the rise of digital refugees in the workforce B . the benefits of business travel for professionals C . the trend of combining work and leisure travel D . the challenges of balancing work and recreation 答案： B B D C
