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.

查看习题详情和答案>>Are you the type of person who always says“yes”？I’ve come to learn that it is very important to learn to say NO！It’s okay. People are still going to like you. They may even respect you more because they know you are honest.
I，m not saying to say“no" to someone who really needs your help. I’m talking about refusing that meeting that you really do not want to attend or that birthday party that you don’t want to be a guest at.
Think for a moment how you feel when you say YES to something that you really don't want to do. If you’re like I once was，you can’t sleep at night and you think about it too much.
It weighs on your mind. You try to find ways out. Whatever you’re saying to yourself，if you really wanted to go，you wouldn’t have all of these thoughts.
So，why not just say NO from the beginning? Maybe you feel like if you don’t show up at the meeting（by the way，it is not one you must attend) your boss isn’t going to like you or your co-workers won’t respect you. Maybe you feel as if your mom，dad or sisters won’t love you as much if you don’t do everything for them that they ask every occasion.
If these people are your true friends，family members，or a good boss，they will like or love you the same no matter what. People treat you the way you teach them to，and if you’re someone who always says“yes" then that’s what they，re expecting.
You need to do what is right for you. Of course we do have real obligations in life to fulfill，but we do not have to do everything others want us to do.
64．Which of the following statements would the writer agree with？
A. We should try to do what our friends ask us to do.
B. We should help others in need.
C. Always saying“yes" means you are dishonest.
D. Always saying“no" means you are brave.
65．What does the underlined word，’ It" in Paragraph 3 refer to?
A. Saying "yes"． B. A friend's birthday party.
C. Something you’re unwilling to do. D. Something you think difficult to do.
66．The writer believes that if you say“no" to your family members，you’11＿·
A. have the same relationship with them as before
B. have a loose relationship with them
C. disappoint them
D. upset them
67．What would be the best title for the passage?
A. Learn to Make a Right Choice B. To Be Yourself

My name is Ralph and I am 42 years old. I work in a factory that I enjoy very much. On May 27, 1999, I was working on an automatic machine. While working my hand was pulled into the machine and my middle finger on my right hand was ripped off. I had surgery to replace what was left of the finger and now I have a finger that is almost as long as my index finger.
Over the years I have been very blessed for a full and healthy life. Most of all, blessed for having my wife. We have grown together and grown in our faith. Life is going to go on with or without my finger. I was not going to let this take over my life and I pushed to go back to work and got light duty.
This was where my lesson began. When I returned to work, I started getting comments and some teasing from people asking me if it was worth losing my finger over a pack of cigarettes. Someone started a rumor that I had dropped a pack of cigarettes and reached down to pick them up and that is how I lost my finger. This is not true. This rumor hurt more than losing my finger in that machine. Everyone was called in to a meeting to resolve this matter and get the story straight. I had to share my lesson.
We can ruin a person’s life by just a few bad words. There is an old saying that I will never forget: “Words and water are easily poured, but impossible to recover.” So please remember to watch what you say.

worked.
One day, I was at work when I got a phone call. A man introduced himself as the headmaster. "I want to
talk to you about Karl's absences." Before he could say another word, all my disappointment and sadness over
Karl came pouring out into the ears of this stranger. "I love my son but I just don't know what to do. I've tried

to talk to him. But the more I tried, the more he pulled away. When his report card arrived during his junior
year, it said that he had been absent 95 times from classes and had six falling grades for the year. At this

One night I felt so powerless that I got down on my knees and pleaded for help. "Please God, I can't do
anything more for my son. I'm at the end of my rope. I'm giving the whole thing up to you."
