Ever since I was very small, I’ve had the sense that I ought to be somewhere else. I remember watching trains flash by and wishing l was on board. I remember going to the airport with my parents when I was thirteen and reading the destinations board, seeing all the places that I could go to: Los Angeles, Chicago, and London.
But the trains passed by and the planes took off without me, so I wandered the world through books. I went to Victorian England in the pages of Middlemarch and A Little Princess, and to St. Petersburg before the fall of the tsar with Anna Karenina.
My home was in a pleasant place outside Philadelphia. But I really lived, truly lived, some where else. I lived within the covers of books. In books I traveled, not only to other worlds, but also into my own. I learned who I was and who I wanted to be, what I might achieve, and what I might dare to dream about my world and myself.
I travel today in the way I once dreamed of traveling as a child- on airplanes and in trains. And the irony is that I don’t care for it very much. I am the sort of person who prefers to stay at home, surrounded by family, friends and books. The only thing I do like about traveling is the time on airplanes spent reading.
It turns out that when my younger self though of taking wing, she wanted only to let her spirit soar. Books are the plane, and the train, and the road. They are the real destinations, and the journey too. They are home.
How does the writer feel about travel today?

A、She doesn’t like it very much.

C、She feels tired of it.
D、She feels as excited as when she was young.

由文中第四段可知,作者长大后反而对旅行失去了兴趣,宁愿与家人和书籍为伴。
