4 . Have you been dreaming of taking a vacation, but wonder whether it’s better to take a solo journey, or have an adventure with friends? In my opinion, there are advantages in both travelling alone and in a group.

Group travel is generally much cheaper. You can get group rates on accommodations, certain modes of transportation, or tickets to tourist attractions. If you’re able to reduce costs, you’ll have extra money to see and do more things.

It is also safer to travel in a group. Do you remember when you were little your parents or teachers used the “buddy system”? It doesn’t only apply to children. It’s especially true when travelling, particularly in unknown places. Nobody can forecast problems or dangers on the way, such as traffic accidents and conflicts with strangers. When you travel with a friend or within a group, you have someone to watch your back.

Travelling with other people can also create shared experiences. For many people this is the best part of travelling — there’s always someone to do things with, laugh with, share stories with, and make memories with. These are just some of the reasons why travelling with friends can be more fun.

However, if you travel alone, you are the boss. There’s no one to tell you where to go or what to do, and you don’t have to make compromises. You can do things at your own pace, on your own timetable. For some people, meeting other travellers is part of the fun of travelling alone. A lot of solo travellers seem to end up in the same spots, so you have a chance to meet other people with the same interests. You can join them and spend some time together, then go your separate ways. Some people take trips alone because they want time to reflect. If you simply enjoy being on your own, or want to be with your own thoughts, without anyone else bothering you, then solo travel might be the way to go.

In general, whether you choose to travel solo or in a group mainly depends on your personality. Think of how you are in your everyday life — do you value your time alone, or do you prefer to be in the company of others? It might not seem like a big deal, but if you’re travelling for any length of time, it could mean the difference between an enjoyable, memorable vacation, and an unhappy trip.

1. What is the advantage of group travel, according to Paragraph 2?

A．You can save money by sharing a hotel room with friends.

B．You can choose what kind of transportation you want to take.

C．You can do many fun activities and laugh happily with friends.

D．You can visit a lot more places with friends for less money.

2. What does “buddy system” mean in Paragraph 3?

A．A rule you should follow at school.	B．Your parents’ suggestion for making friends.
C．A way to ensure your safety when going out.	D．A rule of not travelling to unknown places.

3. What advantage of solo travel is not mentioned?

A．You can decide where to go, when to go, and what to eat.

B．You can join other travellers based on your interests.

C．You can have time to reflect and think alone.

D．You can share memories with your friends after the journey.

4. What is the author’s attitude?

A．Group travel is better than solo travel.

B．Travelling alone has more positive factors.

C．The way you like to travel depends on your personality.

D．It is not a big deal to choose to travel alone or in group.

I tried to ______her suggestion as it was too tiring for her, but she insisted.

I carefully______the fabric(面料) I thought she would enjoy, and maybe I was still trying to make a______between Mom and myself in this way. I always thought what had______her to quilting late in life. I imagined asking her for______       on how to make the right stitches(针脚). Sometimes I’d______us sitting together in the living room watching TV together.

Finally, I got the quilt Mom______ me. I opened it and what I saw caught my______.It was exactly the same fabric I had chosen for my daughter.

7 . Beer seldom lasts long, and sometimes there is can or bottle leftover after a party. When this occurs, the leftover can be used in a variety of ways, many of which most people would never think of.

Beer is a surprisingly good wood furniture polish. Let a can of beer go completely stale（不新 鲜）and pour a little onto a soft cloth. Polish your furniture with the cloth and follow up with a dry cloth.   You will be amazed at how shiny your furniture will end up looking.

The slug（蛞蝓虫）is a terrible pest in the garden， particularly if you are growing plants for eating. Instead of using chemicals on your vegetables, bury a small cup in the garden and pour fresh beer in it. The slugs will be attracted to the smell, get drunk and drown. Be sure to refresh the beer daily, and you would have a cup full of slugs and healthy-looking cabbages.

Bees are also attracted by the smell of beer, so try putting a few open beer cans around the yard at your BBQ and you can enjoy BBQ in a nature-like garden. Obviously you should put the cans away from where people will be sitting or standing, and make sure that no one decides to drink from one of the cans when they are drunk-it will result in a very unpleasant situation.

Beer is also an excellent skin conditioner. If you want to have a long bath, pour a good can of dark beer into the water in advance. This is a nice substitute to salt which softens water. Also if you have a stomach upset, slowly drinking a can of beer can help to settle it down. The alcohol in the beer can help to ease the pain.

1. From the first paragraph we know that .

A．beer can have a long quality guarantee period	B．people often make leftover when drinking beer
C．most people ignore the use of the beer leftover	D．beer cans or bottles can be recycled in many ways

2. Taking the example of the two insects, the author tries to tell us .

A．some insects prefer the smell of fresh beer

B．the beer in open cans can be more attractive to insects

C．slugs and bees can be harmful to picnickers

D．pouring some beer on plants can drive insects away

3. The author believes that dark beer can .

A．help soften water	B．be used to replace salt
C．prevent stomachache happening	D．ease the pain after drinking alcohol

4. What does the passage mainly tell us?

A．Polish your furniture with beer.	B．Improve your garden with beer.
C．Try to drink beer in a healthy way.	D．Learn to make the most of beer.
