Many people dream of going on a challenging travel. Most of them keep dreaming; others make it happen. Gregg Bleakney dreamed of going bike riding from North America to South America after finishing a pleasant bike ride. So did Gregg's friend, Brooks Allen.

To pay for the trip, the two friends worked for years. When they were on the road, they often camped outdoors or stayed in cheap hotels. In many places, local people opened their homes to the two friends and gave them food.

During their trip, Gregg and Brooks rode through deserts, rainforests and mountains. They visited modern cities and ancient buildings. On the way they met other bicyclists from all over the world. Brooks had to return to the USA near the bottom of South America and Gregg continued without him. In May 2007, Gregg finally reached his goal. He traveled twelve countries and finished the 30,500-kilometer trip.

Gregg and Brooks kept a record of their trips in a blog. The trips taught both men a lot about traveling. Here is some of Gregg s advice:

Travel light. The less baggage（行李）you have, the less you'll worry about.

Be flexible. Don't plan everything. Always be ready for something unexpected. Then you'll be more relaxed and happy, even when there are challenges along the way.

Be polite. As one traveler told Gregg, "Always remember that nobody wants to fight or cheat a nice person."

Anything worth doing requires time, energy and action. There is no exception. If you hold on to your dream, you can make it like Gregg and Brooks and have fun while you're at it.

阅读下面短文,把A—E 五个句子填入文中空缺处,使短文内容完整。

Long ago, as people got older, there was something wrong with their teeth and it would be very painful.    51    

Later people learned that cleaning their teeth was important, but they didn't have toothpaste(牙膏) at that time.     52    

About 100 years ago someone finally created a kind of cream to clean teeth. Not long after that, the toothpaste tube (管子) was invented, so people could press the toothpaste right onto the toothbrush!     53     The army gave brushes and toothpaste to all the soldiers, and they learned to brush teeth twice a day. At that time toothpaste tubes were made of metal.     54    

Today there are plenty of toothpaste choices; lots of colors and tastes to choose from, and some kinds of toothpaste are made just for children. When you're choosing a kind of toothpaste, make sure it has fluoride (氟化物).     55    When you brush your teeth, you don't need a lot of toothpaste: just press out a bit.

A．They used lemon juice, salt or other things to clean their teeth.

B．Tooth brushing became popular during the World War I.

C．Fluoride makes your teeth strong and healthy.

D．Today they're made of soft plastic and are much easier to use!

E．To avoid toothache, they had their teeth pulled out.

Forgot your password（密码）or your ID? Well, you’ll never forget your face. Using your face as your ID is quick and convenient. You could take the subway or board a flight with just your face alone. This is how facial recognition（人脸识别）works. It has also been used to catch criminals. Taylor Swift even used the technology to identify stalkers（识别跟踪者）at her concerts.

In China, facial recognition systems have been used in many areas. In Zhengzhou, people can now get on the subway by using facial recognition technology. They just need to link their online payment systems to the subway’s smartphone app. Students at Peking University can pass through the school’s gate by scanning their faces.

However, many people are worried about the collection and use of this information by governments and companies. “I feel uncomfortable because I don’t know how the company is using my facial details（面部细节）or whether they will be leaked（泄漏）, “Feng Yi, a tourism company employee（员工）, said. Leaks are a problem because there is a long history of companies failing to protect user data（资料）.When someone steals your personal information, you can change your bank card and password, but can you change your face when your facial information is stolen?

As facial recognition is used more and more in our daily lives—from college campuses and subways to street corners and smartphones—we must ask ourselves whether or not this new technology is worth the risk.

根据短文内容, 回答下列问题。
56. How is facial recognition when you forget your password or your ID card number?

57. What did Taylor Swift use to identify stalkers at her concerts?
