Now many young people are traveling around the world on their own, not because they have no one to travel with, but because they prefer to go alone.

Kristina Wegscheider from California first traveled alone when she was at college and believes that it is something everyone should do at least once in their life. “It opens up your mind to new things and pushes you out of your comfort zone.” Wegscheider has visited 46 countries covering all seven continents.

In foreign countries, with no one to help you read a map, look after you if you get ill, or lend you money if your wallet is stolen, it is challenging. This is what drives young people to travel alone. It is seen as character building and a chance to prove that they can make it on their own.

Chris Richardson decided to leave his sales job in Australia to go traveling last year. He set up a website, The Aussie Nomad, to document his adventures. He says he wished he had traveled alone earlier. “The people you meet, the places you visit, or the things you do, everything is up to you and it forces you to grow as a person,” said the 30-year-old man.

Richardson describes traveling alone like “a shot in the arm”, which “makes you a more confident person that is ready to deal with anything”. He said, “The feeling of having overcome something on my own is a major part of what drives me each day when I’m dealing with a difficult task. I walk around with my head up because I know deep down inside that nothing is impossible if you try.”

The great 19th century explorer John Muir once said, “Only by going alone in silence can one truly get into the heart of the wilderness.”

24．Which of the following will Kristina Wegscheider agree with?

A. Traveling alone is a necessary experience for everyone.

B. It is more meaningful to travel in foreign countries.

C. It is comfortable to travel around without a friend.

D. Traveling abroad helps people to find new things.

25．Traveling alone is challenging because ________.

A. you have to make things on your own

B. it is hard for you to prove yourself to others

C. you can only depend on yourself whatever happens

D. it will finally build your character

26．What can we infer about Chris Richardson?

A. He started traveling alone at an early age.

B. He was once shot in the arm.

C. He used to work as a salesman.

D. His website inspires others a lot.

27．What is the best title for the passage?

A. Travel Abroad B. Travel Alone

C. Travel Light D. Travel Wide and Far

C

An Indian movie about two sisters has become a huge hit in China. The Hindi language film, called Dangal, has earned almost $ 170 million in China since its release there on May 5.

Much has been written about why Dangal has enjoyed such big success in China. Some people say one reason is the film’s star and producer, Aamir Khan. He is famous in India’s Bollywood film industry. Two of his earlier films were also big hits in China.

Khan’s popularity was clear after he got more than 600,000 followers on the Chinese social media service Sina Weibo within two months of joining. But he is not the only reason why the film strongly connects with the audience across China. Media（媒体）has pointed out how it shows similarities between parental systems in China and India.

Dangal is based on the true story of a man who enjoyed the sport of wrestling（摔跤）. He competed as a wrestler, but never could achieve his lifelong dream: winning a gold medal. As a father, he wanted his son to win the medal. But his wife only gives birth to daughters. So he finally decides to train them to be world-class wrestlers.

The movie is more serious than most Bollywood productions, which tell happy love sorties and include colorful music and dance performances.

Edward Chan is a Professor at the Hong Kong Polytechnic University. He says the strict way of parenting film is something people in China can easily relate to. “1 think the father role described by the movie in India is quite similar to the culture, especially the traditional culture in China. ”

The Chinese government-supported GlobalTimes newspaper pointed out that movie critics（评论家）in China did not like Dangal. Most of them agree with the fact that the father in the film was forceful in pushing his daughters to become wrestlers. But the film Dangal is really aimed to educate children to work for their dreams.

28．What’s the main reason for the father teaching his daughters to wrestle?

A. He wanted them to realize his goal.

B. He wanted to punish them.

C. Few women took this sport.

D. He loved them very much.

29．What do most Chinese movie critics agree?

A. The truth of the whole story was doubtful.

B. The father’s behaviour in the film Dangal was cruel.

C. Indian films often have a bad influence on Chinese parents.

D. The film Dangal was against the Indian traditional culture.

30．What can we learn from the text?

A. Most films from Bollywood are serious.

B. Daughters perform worse in sport than sons.

C. Indian parents’ roles are similar to those in China in some ways.

D. The films produced by Aamir Khan is not popular with Chinese.

31．What does the author think of Dangal?

A. It’s unsuccessful. B. It’s unknown.C. It’s educational. D. It’s relaxing.

D

For several years, Americans have enjoyed teleshopping—watching TV and buying things by phone. Now teleshopping is starting in Europe. In a number of European countries, people can turn on their TVs and shop for clothes, jewellery, food, toys, and many other things.

Teleshopping is becoming popular in Sweden, for example. The biggest Swedish company sells different kinds of things on TV in 15 European countries, and in one year it made $100 million. In France there are two teleshopping channels（频道）, and the French spend about $20 million a year buying things through those channels.

In Germany, until last year teleshopping was only possible on one channel for one hour every day. Then the government allowed more teleshopping. Other channels can open for telebusiness, including the largest American teleshopping company and a 24-hour teleshopping company. German businessmen are hoping this new teleshopping will help them sell more things.

Some people like teleshopping because it allows them to do their shopping without leaving their homes. With all the problems of traffic in cities, this is an important reason. But at the same time, other Europeans do not like this new way of buying things. They call teleshopping ‘‘junk on the air”. Many Europeans usually worry about the quality of the things for sale on TV. Good quality is important to them, and they don’t believe they can be sure about the quality of the things on TV.

The need for high quality means that European teleshopping companies will have to be different from the American companies. They will have to be more careful about the quality of the things they sell. They will also have to work harder to sell the things that the buyers cannot touch or see in person.

32．Teleshopping is ________ in Europe.

A. popular B. growing C. cheap D. not possible

33．People like teleshopping because it is ________.

A. easier B. cheaper C. more popular D. more interesting

34．Some Europeans don’t like teleshopping because they ________.

A. don’t like to buy things

B. believe the things sold on TV are expensive

C. think the things sold on TV are of bad quality

D. don’t like watching TV

35．What is the passage mainly about ?

A. American Teleshopping B. Teleshopping Companies

C. Teleshopping in Europe D. teleshopping—Junk on the Air

How to be happy

Isn’t happiness what we all really want? If we are happy, we can pass our happiness to the people around us, too. Here are a few pieces of advice on how to become a happy person or at least a little happier than we are now.

36 Most happy people have a good number of close friends in their lives. If you don’t have many friends, try joining a club that holds your interests. Talk to people and listen to what they’re talking about. Make new friends so that you will always have someone to care about you. 37

Try to find something to do. When your day is filled with things to do, it gives you the reason to get up in the morning. You will feel more of a sense of accomplishment (成就) at the end of the day. 38 Those who are busier seem to be much happier than those who have too much time on their hands.

39 Being thankful for the things that you have will make you feel more satisfied. For example, you may not have a big house, but you do have a good family. If you feel you have nothing to be grateful for, be thankful for your ability to read, to see or to hear.

Share a joke with other people. A good joke can often make someone feel good about life. Find a few jokes and remember them. Tell these jokes to the people you know. Laughter is certainly a key to happiness. 40

A. Join a club or social circles.

B. Learn to express your thanks.

C. Try to find something to laugh about each day.

D. Send a thank-you letter to one of your best friends.

E. Everything is good when new, but friends when old.

F. Friends can add fun and excitement to your life as well.

G. Usually people feel happier when they have things to do.

阅读下面材料，在空白处填入适当的内容（1个单词）或括号内单词的正确形式。

In Canada and the United States, people invite friends over for a meal, a party or just for coffee and conversation.

Here are kinds of things people say when they invite someone to their homes:

“Would you like61(come) over for dinner this Saturday night?”“Hey. We 62(have) a party on Friday. Can you come?”

To reply to an invitation, either say thank you and accept, or say you're sorry and give 63excuse. “Thanks, I'd love to. What time would you like me to come?” or “Oh, sorry. I have a ticket64a movie.”

Sometimes, however, people use words 65 sound like invitations but which are not real invitations. For example, “Please come over for a drink sometime.”“Why not get together for a party sometime?”“Why don't you come over and see us sometime soon?”

They are really just polite ways of 66(end) a conversation. They are not real invitations because they don't mention a certain time or date. They just show that the person is trying to be 67(friend). To reply to68(expression) like these, people just say “Sure, that would be great!” or “OK. Yes, thanks.”

So next time when you hear such sounds like an invitation, listen69(careful). Is it a real invitation 70 is the person just being polite?
