To see the world is one thing；to have someone to share it with is another.Indeed，travel becomes more interesting when you have a travel partner.A travel partner can be a close friend，a family member，a pal you’ve met online，or a business friend.
You can have someone to talk to
Traveling alone is fun，but wouldn’t you feel lonely？Having a travel partner can remove the feeling of loneliness.This is especially true if you can get a travel companion who is very familiar with the place you’re traveling to.You don’t have to ask any information from the locals，and you can increase the time you spend in the country.
__________________________
One of the major headaches in traveling is the costs involved.You can’t simply ignore the rising price of hotels or plane tickets.You should also think about your daily needs，such as your food.Of course，you can’t simply go back without bringing any souvenirs (紀念品) to your friends and family.All these can ruin your budget.However，when you have a travel friend，you can have someone to share the expenses with.
You can meet a good friend
Having a travel mate is a good way of meeting a new friend or even a lifelong partner.You can never count the number of couples who actually found their way into each other’s heart while traveling together in another country.
You can have someone to watch out for you 
When you’re in a foreign land，you’ll never be really safe.You don’t know the rules as well as the culture of the people.A travel mate will be perfect to remind you of your duties in the country and to watch your back just in case you get lost.So why don’t you find a travel companion now?

However wealthy we may be, we can never find enough hours in the day to do everything we want. Economics deals with this problem through the concept of opportunity cost, which simply refers to whether someone’s time or money could be better spent on something else.
Every hour of our time has a value. For every hour we work at one job we could quite easily be doing another, or be sleeping or watching a film. Each of these options has a different opportunity cost—namely, what they cost us in missed opportunities.
Say you intend to watch a football match but the tickets are expensive and it will take you a couple of hours to get to and from the stadium. Why not, you might reason, watch the game from home and use the leftover money and time to have dinner with friends? This—the alternative use of your cash and time—is the opportunity cost.
For economists, every decision is made by knowledge of what one must forgo—in terms of money and enjoyment—in order to take it up. By knowing precisely what you are receiving and what you are missing out on, you ought to be able to make better-informed, more reasonable decisions. Consider that most famous economic rule of all: there’s no such thing as a free lunch. Even if someone offers to take you out to lunch for free, the time you will spend in the restaurant still costs you something in terms of forgone opportunities.
Some people find the idea of opportunity cost extremely discouraging: imagine spending your entire life calculating whether your time would be better spent elsewhere doing something more profitable or enjoyable. Yet, in a sense it’s human nature to do precisely that—we assess the advantages and disadvantages of decisions all the time.
In the business world, a popular phrase is “value for money.” People want their cash to go as far as possible. However, another is fast obtaining an advantage: “value for time.” The biggest restriction on our resources is the number of hours we can devote to something, so we look to maximize the return we get on our investment of time. By reading this passage you are giving over a bit of your time which could be spent doing other activities, such as sleeping and eating. In return, however, this passage will help you to think like an economist, closely considering the opportunity cost of each of your decisions.
小題1:According to the passage, the concept of “opportunity cost” is applied to ________.
A．making more money
B．taking more opportunities
C．reducing missed opportunities
D．weighing the choice of opportunities
小題2:The “l(fā)eftover ... time” in Paragraph 3 probably refers to the time ________.
A．spared for watching the match at home
B．taken to have dinner with friends
C．spent on the way to and from the match
D．saved from not going to watch the match
小題3:What are forgone opportunities?
A．Opportunities you forget in decision-making.
B．Opportunities you give up for better ones.
C．Opportunities you miss accidentally.
D．Opportunities you make up for.

“Avoid the rush hour” must be the slogan of large cities all over the world. Wherever you look, there are people, people, people. The trains which leave or arrive every few minutes are packed. The streets are so crowded; there is hardly room to move on the pavements. It takes ages for a bus to get to you because the traffic on the roads has almost come to a standstill. Even when a bus does at last arrive, it’s so full, and it can’t take any more passengers. The smallest unexpected event can bring about conditions of complete chaos. The strange thing is not that people stand these conditions, but that they actually choose them in preference to anything else.

Large modern cites are too big to control. People living there are forced by their environment to take a wholly unnatural way of life. They lost touch with the land and rhythm of nature. It is possible to live in such an air-conditioned existence in a large city that you can hardly tell the season. A few flowers in a public park may remind you that it is spring or summer. All the simple, good things of life like sunshine and fresh air are hard to find. Even the distinction between days and nights is lost.
The funny thing about it all is that you pay dearly to live in a city. The demand for accommodation is so great that it is often impossible for ordinary people to buy a house of their own. The cost of living is also very high. Just about everything you buy is likely to be more expensive than it would be in the country. Besides, the crime rate in most cities is very high. If you think about it, they’re not really fit to live in at all. Can anyone really doubt that the country is what man was born for and where he truly belongs?
小題1: According to the writer, 　　　.
A．there is a slogan in every large city all over the world
B．the rush hour traffic is terrible in large cities of the world
C．one should try to avoid the traffic wherever he is
D．rush hour exists in large cities but not in small ones
小題2: It is unusual that　　　.
A．people can stand the conditions in the city
B．people are used to living in a city
C．people know little about the problems of a city
D．people still choose to live in a city
小題3: City people can hardly tell the seasons because　　　.
A．there in no such thing as changes of seasons
B．seasons change only in public parks now
C．they live unnaturally without contact with nature
D．the temperature changes little between seasons
小題4:The reason for things to be more expensive in a city than elsewhere is that　　　.
A．city people have to pay higher to live in a city
B．there is a greater demand for things in a city
C．things are better in a city than elsewhere
D．people in a city are much more wealthy
小題5: What is the passage mainly about?
A．It’s crazy to choose to live in a large city.
B．City life can be very disagreeable.
C．Country life is better than city life.
D．Conditions of cities should be changed.

The riches in the world are not found in the famous gold and diamond mines，where many men and women are digging for them．Most riches in the world are found in the cemeteries(墓地)and grave yards，buried with people’s dreams，aspirations，and unfulfilled potential．Why is it so?
Countless men and women died without ever having the courage to follow their own paths．Maybe because they were afraid to violate some kinds of social norms, maybe because they were afraid to be alone，or maybe simply because they preferred to settle for the familiar．They went to the graves，with a song that would never be heard，a piece of poetry never be written, a dance step never be initiated and a heart full of dreams and aspirations，leaving behind a life full of potential yet no legacy．
Michael Jordan，one of the greatest athletes once said，‘‘I can fail，but I cannot afford not to try．” Life remains a beautiful journey if we learn to take that step and to work that path．Every challenge and defeat in the process becomes a light post that sharpens the vision and shapes the direction forward．
“In my world nothing goes wrong，”said the great Indian sage Nmaja Dhahta Majraj．We must learn to trust the greatness within all of us and know that each of as is here to bring our unique contribution to the universal monument．If each of us learns to dance to the music we only can hear, society as a whole will evolve naturally and spiritually toward love，peace and happiness，and will be void of jealousy,envy and discrimination．
And Henry David Thoreau would say, “If a man does not keep pace with his companions，that is because he hears a difierent drum．’’And one truly believes that the path to success and happiness passes through the dancing to such a unique drumbeat．Therefore，do not die with the music still playing inside you．
小題1:What’s the author’s opinion on riches?
A．They are people’s dreams and aspirations．
B．They are the most important things in the world．
C．They are something we can’t possess and dream of．
D．They are gold and diamonds which we can dig for in mines．
小題2:According to Paragraph 2，which one is NOT the reason why so many people died without sticking to their own paths?
A．They were afraid to break the traditional norms．
B．They were used to what they were already familiar with．
C．They were afraid to hurt others and snffer setbacks．
D．They were afraid to be alone when making the dreams come true．
小題3:What does Michael Jordan mean by saying “I can fail, but I cannot afrord not to try”?
A．Having a try is an easy thing we can do．
B．Trying something new will bring us benefits．
C．We should be careful if we want to have a try．
D．All people are not brave enough to experience something new．
小題4:Which word can best describe Nihaja Dhahta Majraj according to the passage?
A．Brave．B．Healthy．C．Common．D．Self-confident．

There are going to be moments in life when you must make very important decisions. You will find many people      to offer you advice if you ask for it (and even if you don’t), but always remember that the life you     is yours and nobody else’s. It’s important to decide for yourself what’s important to you and what you want before you      others. Because while there will be times      outside advice proves wise, there will be at least as many times when it proves completely     . The only way to really evaluate other folks’ advice is to first learn everything that you can about whatever challenge you are     . Once you’ve done that, in most cases you should be able to make a wise decision      anyway.
You were      with the ability to decide what is and what isn’t in your best interest. Most of the time, you will make the right decision and      the appropriate action, and in thinking for yourself, you will become far more successful than if you had gone against your own     .
Early on in my investment career, I made the mistake of      a few important business decisions on colleagues’ opinions instead of conducting the      necessary to make a wise decision. It wasn’t due to      on my part; no one could ever accuse me of that. But, being      to Wall Street, I intended to suppose that my more senior      knew more than I did, and so I      too much significance to their opinions.
You know what happened? Each of those investments ended in     . Eventually I stopped allowing myself to be influenced by      and began doing the work myself and making my own decisions. It took me until I was almost 30 years old to      this—it’s never too late for a person to change his approach both to      and to life.

My son Tom taught me a beautiful lesson today. He is three years old and it is amazing watching him grow up.
He called out to me today saying, “Papa, sit”. That usually means        everything and going next to him and sitting down to play with him. I did that, as he can be        and will not stop calling out until I        . He was playing with beads (珠子), pushing a string through them, which is a great exercise to help        fine motor skills. Then, after he finished playing with the beads, it was time to put them back in the box that they are stored in. I saw him        pick up each bead, look at it        it were made of chocolate and then placed it into its box.
With over a hundred beads to go, I was getting        . “What a long time it will take! Why cannot he         ten beads in one go and drop them in?” said my anxious mind. I noticed that he did this with as much        as he had while we were playing. I didn’t see any        between his play and his putting away the toy. Obviously he enjoyed both.
Then it suddenly        me that this boy was enjoying the whole        . The journey was his goal. For him the        was in the game and after the game, not just in the fun part. What a great perspective: to live each moment as it is the        moment; to do each task as it is the most awesome task. Nothing else       .
Looking at how        my son was putting beads into the box        me that the process was the goal. The joy of pilgrimage (朝圣) is not in getting there but in every        of the journey.
This is what living in the NOW is all        . Tom, my son, was showing me that it was about thoroughly enjoying every moment with        love and peace.

On the night of November 14, 1978,a six-year-old Korean boy was flying to the United  States. All he knew was that he was on a plane heading for somewhere. The plane landed at  Kennedy International Airport, where he was greeted by a family. This young boy was me.
I have grown up in a town where there were few Asians, so I stuck out in the crowd. I  made friends quickly and they treated me just like anyone else. You may ask if anyone made  fun of my appearance. Well, of course, I met that' kind of person. I just shrugged it off.
As an adopted child, I have something that others don't have. I have had the benefit of two  families. I'm lucky to have got a chance to start a new life. But we must try never to forget our  past. Someday I will go back to Korea to find out what kind of culture I left behind.
There is only one thing that I regret about being adopted. When I argue with my parents and they realize they are losing the argument, they sometimes wonder what I would be doing if  I were back in Korea. I don't understand this because I thought the purpose of adopting  someone was to give them a better chance of growing up in a family. Some day when I am  older, I want to adopt a girl and raise her the way my parents have raised me, but I would do it  better, for I know what went well and what did not.
