Now many young people are traveling around the world on their own, not because they have noone to travel with, but because they prefer to go alone.Kristina Wegscheider from California first traveled a

8、lone when she was at college and believes thatit is something everyone should do at least once in their life.“It opensup your mind to new things and pushes you out of your comfort zone.”Wegscheider has visited46 countries covering all seven continents.In foreign countries, with no one to help you re

9、ad a map, look after you if you get ill, or lend youmoney if your wallet is stolen, it is challenging. This is what drives young people to travel alone. It isseen 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 Austral

10、ia to go traveling last year. He set up awebsite, The Aussie Nomad, to document his adventures. He says he wi shed he had traveledalone earlier.“The people you meet, the places you visit, or the things you do, everything is up toyou and it forces you to grow as a person,”said the 30-year-old man.Ric

11、hardson describes traveling alone like“a shot in the arm”, which“makes you a moreconfident person that isready to deal with anything”. He said,“The feeling ofhaving overcome something on my own is a major part ofwhat drives me each day when Im dealing with a difficult task. I walk around with my hea

15、hat is the best title for the passage?A.Travel Abroad B. Travel AloneC. Travel Light_ D. Travel Wide and Far3.Why are so many people afraid to fail? Quite simply because we forget that failure is part of thehuman life and that every person has the right to fail. Every person is able to fight failure

16、 and finallysucceed.Most parents work hard at preventing failure or protecting their childrenfrom the knowledge that they have failed. One way is to lower standards（標(biāo)準(zhǔn)）.When a child finishes making a table, the mother describes it as“perfect”even though it doesnt stand still. Another way is to blame

17、 others. If Johnfails in science, his teacher is unfair or stupid.Theres a problem with the two ways. It makes a child unprepared for life in the real world. Youngchildren need to learn that no one can be best at everything, no one can win all the time, andthat its possible to enjoy agame even when

18、you dont win. A child often feels terrible, of course, when he is not invited to abirthday party, or is not chosen into a football team.But parents should not say“It doesnt matter.”qui ckly. The young shouldbe allowed to experience failure and be helped to come out of it.Failure never gives people p

19、leasure. It hurts both adults and children. But it can be really good toyour life when you learn to use it. You must learn to ask“Why did I fail?”Dont blame anyoneelse. Ask yourself what you did wrong and how you can improve. If someone else can help, dontbe shy about asking them. Success just repea

20、ts what has been done. It is not as good a teacher asfailure. You can learn how to give a good party from an unsuccessful one.1. How do most parents prevent their children from failure?A.

22、t title for the passage?A. Learning from FailureB. Ways of Preventing FailureC. Reasons of FailureD.Getting Pleasure from Failure4.Many gardeners believe that“talking”to their plants helps th em grow- it turns out thatthey may not be crazy after all. According to the scientists from the University o

23、f Exeter, plants maykeep communicating with each other through a secret“unseen”language.For their experiment, the scientists picked a cabbage plant that is known to send out a gas when itssurface is cut. In order to get video evidence of the communication, they changed the cabbagegene by adding the

24、protein- luciderase（蟲熒光素酶）, which is what makes fireflies（螢火蟲）glow in the dark.When the changed cabbage plant was in full bloom, they cut a leaf off with a pair of scissors, andalmost immediately, thanks to the luciderase, they could see the plant sending out“methyljasmonate（茉莉酸甲酯）”.While this was a

25、 known fact, what was surprising was the fact that the minute this gas began to giveout, the nearby cabbage plants seemed to sense some kind of danger and started to send out agas that they normally have to keep predators（捕食者）like caterpillars（毛蟲）away. What thescientists are not sure is whether the

26、plants are trying to warn the other leaves or the near plantsabout the danger-something that will require further research However, the team, which is led byProfessor Nick Smirnoff, is quite excited about the findings because this is the first time it has beenproved that plants do not live a passive

27、 life, but actually move, sense and even communicate witheach other.However, before you get all concerned, they are quite sure that plants do not feel the pain whenthey are cut, since they do not have nerves-so go ahead and bite into that juicy carrot!1. Whats the best title of the passage?A.Plants

28、Can Send Some GasB.Plants Can Communicate with Each OtherC.The“Unseen”Language of PlantsD. Plants Cant Feel Pain2. What does the underlined word“they”in Paragraph 1 mean?A. Gardeners B. PlantsC.

29、OT TRUE?A.The nearby cabbage plants seemed to sense some kind of danger.B.The nearby cabbage plants started to send out a gas.C.The nearby cabbage plants tried to warn the near plants.D.The nearby cabbage plants communicated through a secret language.4.
