Since life is short and the world is wide, the sooner you start exploring it, the better. Soon enough the time will come when you are too tired to move farther than the terrace of the best hotel. Go now.

No need, you may say, to tell that. But what I need to tell you is that you will meet with a surprising amount of opposition the moment you try to set out. Rubbish, you will reply. More people go abroad nowadays than ever before; never has travel, particularly among the young, been more strongly visit, of international exchanges. Perhaps not; but none of this, my dear young friends, is travel. Travel is not going on a round coach trip for $ 67 in all, or spending ten days at a hotel by the sea. Travel is when you want to see how much money and resources you have and then set out, alone or with chosen friends, to make an unhurried journey to a distant goal without a set date for your return.

Real travel, then, is independence in action, and is not liked by most parents. They don’t mind your going in a school party to Athens, because they know just where you are and when you’ll be back, and they can therefore permit you the imagination of freedom without for one second letting you beyond their control. But what they cannot bear is that you should travel all on your own, without giving them your address and return date. In fact, their fears are quite reasonable because that shows how much they love you. So in order to enjoy real travel and at the same time put your parents’ mind at ease. It would be really important for you to bear the following advice in mind.

5. Which statement is true according to the passage?

A. People travel more than before.                                  

B. Young people are encouraged to travel abroad.

C. People should not go on a round coach trip for $ 67.

D. Educational visits should not be encouraged as they are not real travel.

6.What does real travel mean according to the writer?

A. It means telling your parents nothing about the travel   

B. It means not knowing where you want to go.

C. It means traveling to a distant goal in an unhurried manner.  

D. It means traveling without any plan.

7. Your parents allow you to travel in a school party because ________.

A. they want you to be truly free                       B. you are still under their control

C. they don’t have time to travel with you          D. they know it’s good for you

8. According to the writer, when you do real traveling, you should ________.

A. never mind how worried your parents are             

B. give your parents your address and return date

C. tell your parents details about your travel       

D. not let your parents worry about you

Life is difficult.

 It is a great truth because once we truly understand and accept it, then life is no longer difficult.

Most do not fully see this truth. Instead they complain about their problems and difficulties as if life should be easy. It seems to them that difficulties represent(代表) a special kind of suffering especially forced upon them or else upon their families, their class, or even their nation.

What makes life difficult is that the process of facing and solving problems is a painful one. Problems, depending on their nature, cause in us sadness or loneliness or regret or anger or fear. These are uncomfortable feelings, often as painful as any kind of physical pain. And since life causes an endless series of problems, life is always difficult and is full of pain as well as joy.

Yet, it is in this whole process of solving problems that life has its meaning.

Problems are the serious test that tells us success from failure. When we desire to encourage the growth of the human spirit, we encourage the human ability(能力) to solve problems, just as in school we set problems for our children to solve. It is through the pain of meeting and working out problems that we learn. As Benjamin Franklin said, “Those things that hurt, instruct.” It is for this reason that wise people learn not to fear but to welcome the pain of problems.

56. From the passage, it can be inferred that ______.

A. everybody has problems          

B. we become stronger by facing and solving the problems of life

C. life is difficult because our problems bring us pain

D. people like to complain about their problems

57.The writer probably used just one short sentence in the first paragraph to ______.

A. save space                B. persuade readers 

C. make readers laugh         D. get reader's attention

58. The main idea of paragraph 3 is that ______.

A. most people feel life is easy     

B. the writer feels life is easy

C. the writer likes to complain about his problems

D. most people complain about how hard their lives are

59. According to the passage, we give school children difficult problems to solve in order to ______.

A. encourage them to learn  

B. teach them to fear the pain of solving problems

C. help them learn to deal with pain

D. teach them how to respect for problems

Our interpersonal skills have a great effect on success in our daily lives. This appears not only in the workplace where we can make more money or enjoy our job more, but also shows itself in marriage, raising a family and the ability to reach goals in almost every area of life. Interpersonal skills come into play when our flight is cancelled and we need to make other arrangements. They come into play when a marriage is threatened by financial challenges or infidelity(不忠).

Our communication skills even matter when we are in traffic and we need to make a decision about how to respond to other drivers. Communicating with others becomes inseparable from having a good day, or a bad day not only in how we begin communication, but in how we react to the communications of others who are having a difficult time.

It can make a difference in saving a marriage or getting a divorce, celebrating a rise or getting fired, and even having your eggs cooked as the way you like at the local restaurant. Many wise men and women have stressed the importance of dealing with others in a skillful manner.

Getting feedback(反饋意見) from others can be of great value in improving our interpersonal communication skills. Often, however, others are not skilled at giving feedback. When we get negative results, they rarely include the details we need in order to improve our interpersonal skills.

Since life improves so much with greater communication skills, getting feedback and an opportunity to improve would be not only life-saving for pilots, but labor-saving for the rest of us. Contact Alice Aspen March for a free consultation today and see how you might improve your communication skills, or learn more about The Attention Factor.

1.Which of the following can greatly influence our success in our daily life according to the passage?

A. The education we receive.            B. The skills of making a decision.

C. The nationality of our friends.         D. Our interpersonal skills.

2.What does the underlined word “They” refer to in the last sentence of Paragraph 1?

A. Family members

B. Interpersonal skills.

C. Husband and wife

D. Challenges of lack of money.

3.Why does the author mention “traffic” and “other drivers” in the second paragraph?

A. Just to call our attention

B. To tell us the importance of communication skills.

C. To lead us to think of a sad scene

D. To help us not to forget traffic is very important.

4.Which of the following is true?

A. Getting feedback from others can be valueless in improving our interpersonal skills.

B. Even if we have good communication skills, we will surely not be able to improve our life.

C. If we pay enough money, we can get some advice from Alice Aspen March.

D. Many wise people think communicating with others needs skills.

5.What’s the best title of the passage?

A. The Attention Factor

B. The Problems of Marriage

C. Interpersonal Skills

D. The Relationship Between Our Feelings and Traffic
