Read 10,000 books and travel 10,000 miles. Learn as much as you can and do all you can. Travel can teach people more than a textbook. I value the memories I have travelled all over the world. There are many reasons why I encourage people to travel, and I know that the experience will make one a better person.
I remember when I was traveling that I began to know the world better. The world is not just about me, my small town and home. Although you will meet different people from all over the world, you will realize that people are similar in their dreams, hopes and feelings. Enjoy exploring the different cultures, and you will also find that people are different in some of the things they do and how they live. Once you understand their ways, it need not be strange or scary. Often we read stories about other cultures in books. Only when we visit their areas, do we find that those stories are something wrong.
One thing you may find out is that there are problems all over the world. We can't just get money to send to these areas and hope that will work them out. The world should get involved(干预) and help wherever there are problems. People everywhere should be given a chance. It is so easy to ignore this if one does not travel and explore. One can look around and see that so many people have many challenges worse than ours. One can realize that sometimes our biggest problems are not that big after all.
On your journey you will meet lots of new friends. Talking to strangers and finding about their lives is a great way to spend your time. You will certainly be more confident after having
to solve problems and make many decisions along the way.
Traveling around and seeing so much happening in the world around us is a wonderful experience. If we could all just travel a little more and share our experiences, we would all be better people and the world would be a better place.
We all want to travel but our greatest limitations are from within. Seeing the world is not leisure but provides interesting elements that will help us grow and discover ourselves. More than that, it boosts our creativity and recharges our spirit to face life challenges. Thus, it is important to quit making these excuses and hit the road.
51 .From Paragraph 2, we can learn that_______. A. people should enjoy their lives.
B. you will meet different people from all over the world C. travelling can help us better understand the world. D. people in different places have strange living habits.
52. The expression “ignore” in Paragraph 3 most probably means “ ”. A. 逃避
B. 避免
C. 忽视 D. 忘记
53. According to Paragraph 4, we can along the way to travel. A. know many friends B. be more confident to do things C. make many decisions D. solve problems
54. Which of the following would be the best title of the passage? A. Helps One Make More Friends.
B. People in the World Are Family Traveling C. People in the World Share One Dream. D. Traveling Makes One a Better Person.
55. What’s the writer’s purpose of writing the passage? A. To share his travel experiences with your friends. B. To show how traveling can change your future . C. To encourage more people to travel around. D. To tell people how to travel around the world.
