World Cup soccer fans in Qatar cannot spend all of their time watching matches.

They’re making much more money than usual,     2     is, however, causing trouble for the camels.

Ali is from Sudan but     3     (live) in Qatar for 15 years. On average, his company would offer around 20 rides during the week and 50 rides on the weekends. But with so many soccer fans     4     (visit) the country in recent weeks, he and his team are giving 500 rides in the morning and 500 in the evening. Usually the camels can rest after every five rides, but not during the World Cup. They give 15 or more rides     5     a row. Ali said he can tell when the camels are     6     (true) tired. Usually, they’ll either sit back down after standing up,     7     they won’t get up at all.

Not every customer expressed     8     (satisfy) with their desert trip. Pablo Corigliano from Argentina said he was hoping for a more authentic experience. The rides start on the side of a large road, just past a city known for     9     (it) oil production centers. “I thought I’d be crossing the desert,” he said, “but when I arrived, I saw     10     typical tourist point.”

7 . Are you thinking about traveling alone? You must have a million questions: Where should you go? Will there be someone to talk to?     1     And is it all right to travel alone? In fact, traveling alone is not as scary (吓人的) as it seems. Here are some good tips.

Choose a place where you feel comfortable and safe

Truth be told, traveling alone for the first time is more about the experience than the destination.     2     It could be somewhere close to home or somewhere you’ve already been with friends.

Make a plan

Always make a plan. That way you’ll avoid worrying too much over where you’re staying, what to see and how you’re getting from A to B.

    3    

This can make you less nervous when you’re traveling alone for the first time. Besides, when you book your hotel, ask if they will send a driver to pick you up.

Talk to people

If you’re going to a touristy place like Thailand, there are lots of other people who are traveling alone.     4     They might also ask you to join them for dinner or a beer. That happens a lot.

Let someone know where you are

Your family and friends love you and probably worry about you every day, so text them and let them know what you’re up to throughout your trip.     5     And in case something did happen, they’ll know where you are.

A．Book hotels ahead of time.

B．Don’t draw attention to yourself.

C．That will make you and them feel safer.

D．The first thing you need to do is believe in yourself.

E．So make sure to choose a place that you feel comfortable with.

F．Most likely, they’ll be easy to talk to and they’ll want to communicate.
