Back in 2001, Pen Hadow and I traveled to the North Pole. One morning we’d just taken down our tent and started skiing. Pen was in front, and I was following him. Suddenly I got a strange feeling that something was behind us. I stopped, looked back and saw a polar bear, walking towards us.

Pen and I planned to stay where we were, try and look big, and frighten it away. Pen had a shotgun that we’d bought in Russia. That was his job. My job was to look big and to take off my skis, hold the skis in the air, make lots of noise, and frighten away the bear. Pen raised the gun and fired into the air. However, it jammed and failed to work.

The bear was walking towards us. Pen tried again, but again it didn’t work. Then he walked towards the bear, and I thought, “Wow, Pen’s gone completely mad. He’s going to get eaten. What should I do?”

I thought maybe I could throw a ski at it or stab (刺) it with a ski pole or something. Suddenly, the bear stopped. Pen stopped. Bang. The gun went off in the air. There was a big cloud of smoke that I thought surprised Pen and me more than it surprised the bear. The animal looked up, looked down, turned around and walked off. Pen turned round and said, “Quick, get the camera and take a photograph,” and that was when suddenly I felt really nervous. I couldn’t even undo the zip on our bag.

That was the morning of the second day of this journey. We were out there for two months — fifty-nine days, but we never saw another bear that close.

1.What happened to the author and Pen?

A. They lost their way.

B. They felt terribly ill.

C. They broke their tent.

D. They were followed by a bear.

2.Which of the following can best describe the author and Pen?

A. Calm and brave.

B. Caring and proud.

C. Honest and friendly.

D. Careful and humorous.

3.Who frightened the bear away in the end?

A. The author.　　 B. A hunter.　　 C. Pen.　　 D. Another animal.

4.In the text, the author mainly talks about _____.

A. his discovery in the North Pole

B. his experience in the North Pole

C. why he traveled to the North Pole

D. how he traveled across the North Pole

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 travelling 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 cope with problems and make many decisions along the way.

When you travel, you have to be on your own in some situations. You will surprise yourself by how well you can do that. All your special experiences could make an interesting book to read. It would be filled with all your adventures and special memories.

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.

1.From paragraph 2, we can learn that ________.

A. people around the world are the same in their hopes

B. books always tell us wrong stories about cultures

C. traveling can help us better understand the world

D. People in different places have strange living habits

2.The underlined expression “cope with” in Paragraph 4 most probably means “________”.

A. solve　　 B. avoid

C. meet　　 D. cover

3.Which of the following would be the best title of the passage?

A. People in the world are family

B. Traveling helps one make more friends

C. People in the world share one dream

D. Traveling makes one a better person

Traveling can be a way to gain life experiences, but what if you’re a student and don’t have enough money for a trip? Don’t worry. Here are some useful tips.

● Plan sensiblyWrite down what you expect to spend for food and hotels. Stick to(坚持) your plan or you may not have enough money to cover everything.

● Travel in groupsFind someone who is interested in visiting the same places. By traveling with others you can share costs and experiences.

● Work as you goNeed more money to support your trip? Look for work in the places you visit.

● Go off the hot areas：Tourist cities may be expensive. You may want to rethink your trip and go to a less known area. Smaller towns can have many interesting activities and sights.
