A travel partner can be a close friend, a family member, a pal youve met online, or a business friend.You can have someone to talk toTraveling alone is fun, but wouldnt you feel lonely? Having a travel partner can remove the feeling of loneliness. This is especially true if you can get a travel companion who is very familiar with the place youre traveling to. You dont have to ask any information from the locals, and you can increase the time you spend in the country._One of the major headaches in traveling is the costs involved. You cant simply ignore the rising price of hotels or plane tickets. You should also think about your daily needs, such as your food. Of course, you cant simply go back without bringing any souvenirs (纪念品) to your friends and family. All these can ruin your budget. However, when you have a travel friend, you can have someone to share the expenses with.You can meet a good friendHaving a travel mate is a good way of meeting a new friend or even a lifelong partner.You can never count the number of couples who actually found their way into each others heart while traveling together in another country.You can have someone to watch out for youWhen youre in a foreign land, youll never be really safe.

The following paragraph will probably talk about_.A. how to get along with a travel partnerB. how travel can benefit peopleC. what we can learn from travelD. how to find a travel partnerCIf you see a group of people dancing and singing on the street or in the railway station, you dont need to feel surprised. They are a flash mob (快闪族). Dont be confused by their name. Actually, a flash mob, organized with the help of the Internet or other digital communications networks, is a group of people who come together suddenly in a public place, do something unusual for a period of time, such as exchanging books, coming together to look at the sky, waving their hands and shouting something at the top of their lungs for 30 seconds, and then quickly disappear before the police can arrive. Using mobile phones, the flash mob can change its location if the first one has been replaced for any reason. Bill Wasik, senior editor of Harpers Magazine, organized the first flash mob in Manhattan in May, 2003 and the first successful flash mob came together on June 3, 2003after the first attempt was foiled at Macys department store. Following this, about 200 people flooded the hall of the Hyatt hotel, applauding in one voice for fifteen seconds, and next participants pretending to be tourists on a bus trip invaded a shoe shop in Soho. A later mob saw hundreds of people in Central Park making bird noises.Wasik claimed that he created flash mobs as a social experiment designed to make fun of hipsters(赶时髦的人), and highlight the cultural atmosphere of wanting to be an insider or part of “the next big thing”. Though flash mobs were firstly regarded as pointless, the concept has already developed for the benefit of political and social events. Flash mobbing takes advantage of the efficiency of communicating information on Websites and by email, and protesters(反对者) can similarly use the “on and off” concept to be involved in political events. Flash mob gatherings can sometimes shock people. Such an activity might seem amusing and fantastic, but it also might frighten people who are not aware of what is taking place. Undoubtedly, flash mobs can serve as good political tools in any direction. They also have big economic potential, such as using flash mobs to advertise a product.The flash mob is now becoming more and more popular. People use it to do many things. For example, in 2009, hundreds of Michael Jacksons fans took part in a flash mob to remember him, gathering outside the railway station in Liverpool, singing and dancing Michaels famous songBeat Ittogether. Flash mobs give people from all walks of life an opportunity to come together to create a memory.28 . The underlined word “foiled” in Paragraph 2 can be replaced by “_”. A. forgottenB. preventedC. announcedD. confirmed 29. Which of the following could most possibly be a flash mob according to the passage?A. Sixteen people get together quickly on the square and do jumping and singing and leave there suddenly.B. A group of people are busy giving out leaflets of a brand to those walking in front of them.C. Some tourists plan for months and go mountaineering on the first day of Horse Year.D. Protesters from different factories sit for days in front of the city hall for higher wage. 30. The main purpose of the passage is _. A. to entertainB. to encourageC. to informD. to persuade31. What can you learn about the flash mob from the passage? A. The flash mob usually breaks up quickly for lacking enough time. B. It gives people the chance to come together to do something unusual. C. The flash mob can be made use of in many fields just for fun. D. Once the place for the activity is determined, it cant be changed. DLast night I was driving from Harrisburg to Lewisburg,a distance of about eighty miles. It was late. Several times I got stuck behind a slow-moving truck on a narrow road with a solid white line on my left,and I became increasingly impatient.At one point along an open road, I came to a crossing with a traffic light. I was alone on the road by now, but as I drove near the light, it turned red and I made a stop. I looked left, right and behind me. Nothing. Not a car, no suggestion of car lamps, but there I sat, waiting for the light to change, the only human being for at least a mile at any direction.I started wondering why I refused to run the light. I was not afraid of being caught, because there was clearly no policeman around, and there certainly would have been no danger in going thorough it.Much later that night, the question of why Id stopped for that light came back to me. I think I stopped because its part of a contract (契约) we all have with each other. Its not only the law, but its an agreement we have, and we trust each other to honor it: wedontgothroughredlights.Trust is our first inclination (倾向). Doubting others does not seem to be natural to us. The whole construction of our society depends on mutual (互相) trust, not distrust.We do what we say well do; weshowupwhenwesaywellshowup;andwepaywhenwesaywellpay. We trust each other in these matters, andwereangryordisappointedwiththepersonororganization that breaks thetrustwehaveinthem.32. Why did the author feel impatient while driving?A.
