To travel far enough to meet yourself

Sometimes you find yourself in the middle of nowhere.【1】You find out your abilities. When you are offered a different lifestyle, you can find out what you are made of. The farther you go from your home, the nearer you come to your true self.

【2】

If you look back at all the amazing memories of your life, you will realize that most of them were out of your comfort zone. Travelling is dangerous, full of life threatening possibilities and will not always be comfortable, but at the same time, it gives irreplaceable memories.

To slow down and relax

A wise man once said that never get so busy making a living that you forget to make a life. Money is worth nothing if you cannot spend it on a little adventure. While we are deeply involved in making money, we forget that time is going through our finger.

【3】The feeling of being away from your workplace is pure happiness. The feeling of not having to worry about the never ending piles of files is pure joy.【4】

To celebrate life

Life is short and the world is wide. One day you might wake up and realize that you don’t have time to do everything that you have always wanted to do anymore. Once in a while, make time to appreciate the fact that you are alive, young, free and healthy.【5】

A. Travelling lets you discover yourself

B. To break through your comfort zone

C. So, go travelling to celebrate life itself

D. You can relate to the world and connect to others

E. And the feeling of being away from your boos for a few days is pure pleasure

F. Escape life for a little while because experience is far more valuable than money

G. To become a storyteller

Don’t get me wrong: Digital reading has some real advantages. Ask people what they like most about reading on digital screens, and you hear over and again about convenience. More points for digital reading: e-books tend to be cheaper. There’s also the environmental argument. Think of the trees!

Yet the soundness of this case is arguable. The earth metals to build e-readers are not just rare but highly poisonous. And think about all that energy needed to run servers and cooling fans. And remember, trees are a renewable resource.

Then, there’s the appeal of a hard copy. Many people prefer print when reading both for pleasure and for school or work. Drawing examples from my own research, some of the reasons arc aesthetic(美学的). Others involve a sense of accomplishment, ease of annotation (“I can write on the pages”), and navigation (“easy to locate where I was”). Meanwhile, I hear abundant complaints about eye strain(干涩) and headaches when using screens.

Much of what students liked about reading print involved their minds. They say “it’s easier to focus.” Some also acknowledged they took more time with printed text and read more carefully.

But what makes the failure of electronic reading is concentration. More than 92 percent of those I surveyed said they concentrate best when reading a hard copy. When a digital device has an Internet connection, it’s hard to resist the temptation(诱惑).

So if digital interruptions don’t threaten your enjoyment or understanding of a text, then medium may not matter. Casual reading like David Baldacci? If you break to check sports scores, little harm done. But just don’t expect to understand Joyce’s novels this way.

【1】What is an advantage of reading a hard-copy book?

A. It is cheaper. B. It is easier to carry around.

C. It helps people think deeper. D. It provides instant information.

【2】What's the biggest problem of reading digitally?

A. Environmental concern. B. Physical discomfort.

C. Concentration. D. Internet connection.

【3】What’s the author’s attitude towards e-reading?

A. Supportive. B. Disapproving. C. Optimistic. D. Unconcerned.

【4】How is the passage mainly developed?

A. By analyzing possible reasons. B. By providing typical examples.

C. By listing practical suggestions. D. By presenting direct comparisons.

增加：在缺词处加一个漏字符号（∧），并在其下面写出该加的词。

删除：把多余的词用斜线（\）划掉。

修改：在错的词下划一横线，并在该词下面写出修改后的词。

注意：1.每处错误及其修改均仅限一词；

2.只允许修改10处，多者（从第1l处起）不计分。

Dear Mum and Dad,

In London at last, we are having great time!

To stay in a hotel in an old castle, and we tried to make a reservation. However, that hotel was booked full. So, instead, we get a couple of beds in a dormitory. Stay in a dormitory was a lot of fun because there were lots of people from various place.

If you had come without us, you would have enjoyed Europe either. All of the paintings I’ve seen so far is fantastic. Now I think van Gogh is his favourite artist.

Is there anything specially I can bring you?
