Most trips will involve some walking, even if the main activity is cycling or horse riding.1. However, if you are going to walk 16-19 km or more a day with a pack on your back, daily for several days, your feet and body will suffer if you have not prepared yourself beforehand.

1. Preparation

2. Start with gentle walks of 3-5 km a day on easy-going areas. Build this up to 16-19 km, walking on local footpaths once or twice a week, wearing your boots and carrying your pack.

2. Care of your feet

Never underestimate the importance of comfortable feet on a walking trip; uncomfortable or sore feet can make your trip truly miserable, so it is worth taking care of them properly.

3. Keeping your feet clean will make you more comfortable and washing them every day is advisable. Dry feet well after washing.

4. Badly fitting boots can cause discomfort and blisters(水泡),and this will be enough to ruin your day. Boots should give good ankle support, and this is especially important for mountain walking. 5.

I still remember the first day of school our professor introduced a little old lady named Rose to us. I was curious about what might have _____ her to be taking on this challenge at her age. “I always _____ having a college education and now I’m getting one!” she told me. I like listening to this “time machine” as she ______ her wisdom and experience with me.

At the end of the term, we ____ Rose to make a speech to our football team. As she began to deliver her _____ speech, she dropped her note card on the _____ . A little embarrassed, she simply said, “I’m sorry. This whiskey is ______ me! I’ll never get my speech back in order so let me just tell you what I know.” As we laughed, she _______ her throat and began, “We do not stop _____ because we are old; we grow old because we stop playing. There are some secrets to staying _______ , being happy, and achieving success. You have to laugh and find _____ every day. Have a dream. When you ______your dreams, you die. We have so many people walking around who are ________ and don’t even know it! There is a huge ______ between growing older and growing up. ______ you are nineteen years old and lie in bed for one full year and don’t do one _______ thing, you will turn twenty years old.

Do you remember those times when your mother told you to avoid talking to strangers? But now you’re not a child anymore. In fact, there are many advantages of talking to strangers.

●You can meet a really great person.

Talking to a stranger is a good habit because you never know whom you may meet. 1. You can also meet someone who will give you a chance to get your dream job.

2.

You have some opinion about different subjects and you know your friends’ and relatives’ points of view about them, too. But there are millions of other people who think differently and can give you unpredictable yet smart ideas that will broaden your horizons.

●You can improve your social skills.

3. Asking appropriate questions and attentive listening are two skills that many of us don’t have. You can better these skills when talking to a stranger.

●You can offer someone comfort.

The thing you’ll definitely like about talking to strangers is that you can make someone’s day better. 4. Praise people and they will think something pleasant about you. Having a sweet short dialogue is one of those perfect chances to make people cheerful.

●You can find the solutions you didn’t know about.

Talking to someone you don’t know is all about finding out something you didn’t know. You may have some problems that you can’t solve for a long time. However, someone you suddenly meet can figure out the right solution you didn’t even think about before. 5.

A. It may be a help you needed to get a long time ago.

B. You can expand your world view.

C. You can meet a person who will become your best friend in future.

D. Smile and people will smile in return.

E. Whatever social skills you have, you can make them better when talking to strangers.

F. You shouldn’t miss these unexpected chances of meeting people.

G. Why not speak to someone until your turn comes?

A popular saying goes, “Sticks and stones may break my bones, but words will never hurt me.” However, that’s not really true. Words have the power to build us up or tear us down. It doesn’t matter if the words come from someone else or ourselves — the positive and negative (消极否定的)effects are just as lasting.

We all talk to ourselves sometimes. We’re usually too embarrassed to admit it, though. In fact, we really shouldn’t be because more and more experts believe talking to ourselves out loud is a healthy habit.

This “self-talk” helps us motivate(激励) ourselves, remember things, solve problems, and calm ourselves down. Be aware, though, that as much as 77% of self-talk tends to be negative. So in order to stay positive, we should only speak words of encouragement to ourselves. We should also be quick to give ourselves a pat on the back. The next time you finish a project, do well in a test, or finally clean your room, join me in saying “Good job!”

Often, words come out of our mouths without us thinking about the effect they will have. But we should be aware that our words cause certain responses in others. For example, when returning an item to a store, we might use warm, friendly language during the exchange. And the clerk will probably respond in a similar manner. However, harsh and critical(批评的) language will most probably cause the clerk to be defensive.

Words possess power because of their lasting effect. Many of us regret something we once said. And we remember unkind words said to us! Before speaking, we should always ask ourselves: Is it loving? Is it needed? If what we want to say doesn’t pass this test, then it’s better left unsaid.

Words possess power: both positive and negative. Those around us receive encouragement when we speak positively. We can offer hope, build self-esteem(自尊) and motivate others to do their best. Negative words destroy all those things. Will we use our words to hurt or to heal? The choice is ours.

A. not sticks and stones but words will hurt us

A. almost everybody has the habit of talking to themselves

B. we can benefit from talking to ourselves

D. it does no harm to have “self-talk” when we are alone

3.The underlined part in the third paragraph means that we should also timely______.

A. remind ourselves B. praise ourselves

C. make ourselves relaxed D. give ourselves entertainment

4.The author would probably hold the view that ________.

A. encouraging words are sure to lead to kind offers

B. negative words may stimulate(激励)us to make more progress

C. people tend to remember friendly words

D. it is better to think twice before talking to others
