While it’s wonderful to share a special trip with friends or family, traveling alone is another experience. 1.

1. Meet new people.

People who are traveling alone seem more approachable to others. Before you know it, you could be chatting with some interesting folks at a sidewalk cafe or even joining a group of like-minded people on the beach. 2.

2.Do everything you want and nothing you don’t want.

Have you ever been hesitant to do that half-day at the spa you are eager for because you feel bad leaving your travel partner with nothing to do? 3. If you want to “waste” the day sitting at an outdoor bar drinking a cocktail instead of sightseeing, you won’t have to answer anyone.

34.

If traveling makes you a good, smart person, then traveling alone makes you better and smarter. Taking a trip by yourself might seem frightening. However, once you take the courage and get over your fears, you’ll feel a sense of energy. A successful single vacation can inspire you to try new things in life.

Great service.

For some reason, service at hotels and restaurants seems better when you’re traveling alone. 5. And it’s possible that when you make it known, you could be offered a better room or a free cocktail.

A.The key is to keep an open mind and keep safety in mind.

B.Travelling alone makes you truly listen to your inner thoughts.

C.When you travel alone, you don’t need to please anyone but yourself.

D.Here are four good reasons why you should try it.

5.I needed to buy a digital camera,one that was simply good at taking good snaps (快照),maybe occasionally for magazines.Being the cautious type,I fancied a reliable brand.So I went on the net,spent 15minutes reading product reviews on good websites,wrote down the names of three top recommendations and headed for my nearest big friendly camera store.There in the cupboard was one of the cameras on my list.And it was on special offer.Oh joy.I pointed at it and asked an assistant,"Can I have one of those?"He looked perturbed (不安)."Do you want to try it first?"he said.It didn't quite sound like a question."Do I need to?"I replied."There's nothing wrong with it?"This made him look a bit insulted and I started to feel bad."No,no.But you should try it,"he said encouragingly."Compare it with the others."
   I looked across at the others:shelves of similar cameras placed along the wall,offering a wide range of slightly different prices and discounts,with each company selling a range of models based around the same basic box.With so many models to choose from,it seemed that I would have to spend hours weighing X against Y,always trying to take Z and possibly H into account at the same time.But when I had finished,I would still have only the same two certainties that I had entered the store with:first,soon after I carried my new camera out of the shop,it would be worth half what I paid for it; and second,my wonderful camera would very quickly be replaced by a new model.
  But something in the human soul whispers that you can beat these traps by making the right choice,the clever choice,the wise choice.In the end,I agreed to try the model I had chosen.The assistant seemed a sincere man.So I let him take out my chosen camera from the cupboard,show how it took excellent pictures of my fellow shoppers…and when he started to introduce the special features,I interrupted to ask whether I needed to buy a carry-case and a memory card as well.
   Why do we think that new options (选择) still offer us anything new?Perhaps it is because they offer an opportunity to avoid facing the fact that our real choices in this culture are far more limited than we would like to imagine.

57.The shop assistant insisted that the writer shouldB.

B.compare the camera he had chosen with the others
C.get more information about different companies
D.trust him and stop asking questions
58.What does the writer mean by"it would be worth half what I paid for it"(Paragraph 2)?D
A.He should get a 50% discount.
B.The price of the camera was unreasonably high.
C.The quality of the camera was not good.
D.The camera would soon fall in value.

C.wanted to make sure the one he chose would be the best

B.cameras have become an important part of our daily life
C.we don't actually need so many choices when buying a product

Rules can help the public make the right (3)choices,and remain safe.Car drivers have to obey traffic regulations that tell them the right things to do on the road to avoid crashes.Cyclists who give signals before turning or stopping help prevent (4)accidents.

Should we allow modern buildings to be built next to older buildings in a historic area of a city? In order to answer this question, we must first examine whether people really want to preserve the historic feel of an area. Not all historical buildings are attractive. However, there may be other reasons --- for example, economic reasons --- why they should be preserved. So, let us assume that historical buildings are both attractive and important to the majority of people. What should we do then if a new building is needed?

In my view, new architectural styles can exist perfectly well alongside an older style. Indeed, there are many examples in my own home town of Tours where modern designs have been placed very successfully next to old buildings. As long as the building in question is pleasing and does not dominate (影响) its surroundings too much, it often improves the attractiveness of the area.

It is true that there are examples of new buildings which have spoilt (破坏) the area they are in, but the same can be said of some old buildings too. Yet people still speak against new buildings in historic areas. I think this is simply because people are naturally conservative(保守的)and do not like change.

Although we have to respect people’s feelings as fellow users of the buildings, I believe that it is the duty of the architect and planner to move things forward. If we always reproduced what was there before, we would all still be living in caves. Thus, I would argue against copying previous architectural styles and choose something fresh and different, even though that might be the more risky choice.

2.By “move things forward” in the last paragraph, the author probably means“_______”

B. Choose new architectural styles

B. To warn that we could end up living in caves.

C. To admit how new buildings have ruined their surroundings.

D. To argue that modern buildings can be built in historic areas.
