    Passage 2The difference between being a "tourist" and a "traveler" is as vast as the gap between flying international first class and coach. It's all about the experience—and if you've traveled both ways, you know exactly what I'm talking about. While everyone on that flight reaches the destination at the same time, each person's takeaway will be shaped by how they passed the time inside that airplane cabin. In my career as a journalist and corporate communications professional, I've visited nearly 30 countries and spent nearly one year as a freelance writer in Florence, Italy. I've lived and worked in and visited plenty of the United States. And everywhere I've gone—from Miami to Montreal to Madrid and many points in between—I've tried to experience each unique culture as its locals do. While the "tourist vs. traveler" debate has continued for years, it all shakes down to this for me: Be willing to make yourself uncomfortable.For some folks, that may mean skipping an organized tour led by a guide holding a tall red umbrella aloft and instead jumping onto a city bus for an impromptu look around town. For others, it may involve ducking into a religious service held by a faith tradition other than their own. One of my favorite quotes is attributed to former First Lady Eleanor Roosevelt: "Do something that scares you every day." Nowhere is that more true than on the road.4. There is a great difference between a tourist and a traveler because ______.
    A: a tourist is flying first class while a traveler is flying coach
    B: a tourist has an organized tour while a traveler's tour is not organized
    C: a tourist sees different places while a traveler experiences unique culture
