Please Don’t Be Afraid To Travel On Your Own

You want to travel. You make an unclear plan. 【1】___________ But either way, you’re leaving in six months time. You start doing research every single night.

Of course, as this will be your first ‘real’ travel experience, you naturally prefer to travel with other people. 【2】_________ But the first friend you ask, perhaps your closest friend, turns you down and so you move on to the next friend. 【3】________ The third friend, the fourth friend and even that guy that you don’t really like say no as well.

【4】__________You hope that one of your friends will change their mind and decide to join you. Maybe you decide to forget about your trip altogether, fully believing that you can only travel so far away from home with a friend or travel companion (同伴) by your side.

Don’t give up just yet. Here’s my advice to you. You may be on your own when you board that flight to Bangkok or Mexico City, but believe me, once you arrive, you’ll never actually be alone. That’s how travel works. Unless you stare at the ground and never talk to anyone, you’re going to meet people when you travel, lots and lots of people from all over the world. 【5】___________

A. Don’t give it up.

B. Maybe you’ll fly to Thailand or to Mexico.

C. Meeting new people is one of the worst things to do.

D. But they too, tell you they have no interest to join you at all.

E. They will be interested in meeting and hanging out with you.

F. So you start asking your friends to join you in your journey.

G. Maybe you decide to put off your trip for another six months.

Sharing Beauty

It was in October. I was aimlessly wandering down the street, heading into a most gloriously beautiful sunset. I had an urge to speak to someone on the street to share that beauty, but it seemed everyone was in a hurry.

I took the next-best action. Quickly I ducked into a department store and asked the lady behind the counter if she could come outside for just a minute. She looked at me as though I were from some other planet. She hesitated, and then seemingly against her better judgment, she moved toward the door.

When she got outside I said to her, Just look at that sunset! Nobody out here was looking at it and I just had to share it with someone.

For a few seconds we just looked. Then I said, God is in his heaven and all is right with the world. I thanked her for coming out to see it; she went back inside and I left. It felt good to share the beauty.

Four years later my situation changed greatly. I came to the end of a twenty-year marriage. I was alone and on my own for the first time in my life. I lived in a trailer park which, at the time, I considered a real come-down, and I had to do my wash in the community laundry room.

One day, while my clothes were going around, I picked up a magazine and read an article about a woman who had been in similar circumstances. She had come to the end of a marriage, moved to a strange community, and the only job she could find was one she disliked: clothing sales in a department store.

Then something that happened to her changed everything. She said a woman came into her department store and asked her to step outside to look at a sunset. The stranger had said, God is in his heaven and all is right with the world, and she had realized the truth in that statement. From that moment on, she turned her life around.

【1】The author asked the woman to go outside to ______.

A. admire the sunset

B. cheer her up

C. offer some help

D. have a chat

【2】 Four years later, the author______.

A. found her dream job

B. put an end to her marriage

C. worked in a laundry room

D. lived in the same community

【3】 After reading the article in the magazine, the author was probably ______.

A. disappointed

B. puzzled

C. inspired

D. overjoyed
