Traveling is more important than reading books to understand people and the world. A book about another country tells you about things such as the country’s history, its people and its culture in a very general way. When meeting foreigners, I found that books can’t be trusted totally. For example, when I was visiting Wisconsin University, many people were rigid(保守的), uneducated, had no sense of humor, and they all wore blue suits. Even the picture in some people’s minds was that Chinese still wore pigtails(辫子)as they did in the Qing Dynasty. Though the videotapes shown by me, they were surprised to find that these facts were not true at all and the Chinese people are outgoing and have great intelligence, dress well and have an equally strong sense of humor.

Reading a book about another country makes me interested in traveling. Then I make plans to go and see what I have read about.

In addition, people who go out and experience things themselves are likely to be open-minded, and are really interested in making things happen. A friend of mine, Chen Ming, went to a backward rural area(落后的农村地区) and experienced the sufferings of the children there firsthand. Then he organized a medical team to give them treatment. Just reading about these children’s situation would not have had the same effect as seeing them in person.

More and more Chinese travel at home or abroad. Especially the children who travel more will see the important landscapes（风景） and will truly be full of knowledge about their own country. I have always felt enriched by the experience. It is only by “getting into action” that one can make a mark in this world, and truly live a meaningful life.

1．The author gives the example in Wisconsin University to show that ____.

A．Chinese are often misunderstood by foreigners

D．liking to meet and talk to new people and make friends with them

3．The author believes that the more you experience things, ____.

A．the more you want to try something

B．the more you want to travel

C．the more interested you will be in reading books

D．the less you think you know

4．Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?

A．If you want to know the world, you can only travel.

B．If you read about some place from a book, you must go and see it.

C．Traveling can make a person like his life even more.

D．Traveling can certainly make a mark in the world.

5．The best title for this passage should be “____”.

A．What’s Good for Travel B．Experience by Reading

Either out of confusion or discomfort we sometimes express our feelings in an unclear way. One key to making your feelings clear is to realize that you most often can shorten them in a few words: hurt, glad, confused, excited, angry, and so on. In the same way, with a little thought you can probably describe very briefly any reasons you have for feeling a certain way.

In addition to avoiding too long expressions, a second way to prevent confusion is to avoid downplaying your feelings by saying“I’m a little unhappy”or“I’m pretty excited”.Of course, not all feelings are strong ones. We do feel degrees of sadness and joy, for example, but some communicators have a tendency to downplay almost every feeling. Do you?

A third danger to avoid is expressing feelings in an indirect or coded manner. This happened most often when the sender is uncomfortable about showing his or her feeling in question. Some codes are verbal ones, as when the sender hints more or less subtly at the message. For example, an indirect way to say“I’m feeling lonely”might be“I guess there isn’t much happening this weekend, so if you’re not busy, why don’t you drop by?”such a message is so indirect that the chances that you real feeling will be recognized are small. For this reason, people who send coded messages stand less of a chance of having their feeling understood and their need met.

Finally, you can express yourself clearly by making sure that both you and your partner understand that your feeling is centered in a specific（特定）set of environments rather than being indicative of the whole relationship. Instead of saying“I hate you”,say“I hate you when you don’t keep your promises”. Rather than“I’m bored with you”, say“I’m bored when you talk about your money.”
