Travelling is a very good activity. When you are fed up with your work and when you can get a holiday, you can go to the beautiful spots to enjoy the beauty of nature and the special character of other cities. You can breathe fresh air, visit some places of interest，meet different people and make friends with them．If you do so, you will forget your tiredness and troubles and build up your health. As a result, you will feel fully relaxed and you will have the energy to undertake the new tasks waiting for you．

But sometimes, travelling is not an enjoyable thing. For example, when the bus or car you take has a bad accident, you just sit in and waste your time．What’s more，the weather can be changeable. If you are climbing a mountain，it may rain suddenly. You may be caught in the rain and may catch a cold. The worst thing is that you may have your money stolen and you may have an injury. All these are terrible things that can happen to a tourist．

Therefore，before going on a trip, you must prepare yourself carefully. Firstly, you must have clear information about the weather. Secondly, you should choose a good companion so that you can help each other. Thirdly, you must be careful everywhere and try to avoid accidents. If you do this, you’ll surely enjoy your travels and avoid any unnecessary trouble．

When I was a little girl, I remember that when my dad was repairing something, he would ask me to hold the hammer, so we would have time for a conversation with each other. I never saw my dad drinking or taking a night out. All he did after work was taking care of his family.

I grew up and left home for college and since then, my dad had been calling me every Sunday morning. And when I bought a house several years later, my dad painted it by himself in the fierce summer heat. All he asked was to talk to him, but I was to busy in those days.

Four years ago, my dad visited me. He spent many hours putting together a swing for my daughter. He asked me to have a talk with him, but I had to prepare for a trip that weekend.

One Sunday morning we had a telephone talk as usual. I noticed that my dad had forgotten some things that we discussed lately. I was in a hurry, so our conversation was short. Several hours later that day I received a call. My father was in the hospital. Immediately I bought a plane ticket and on my way I was thinking about all the occasions I missed to have a talk with my dad. By the time I arrived at the hospital, my father had passed away. Now it was he who did not have time for a conversation with me. I realized how little I knew about my dad, his deepest thoughts and his dreams.

After his death I learned much more about him and even more about myself. All he ever wanted was my time. And now he has all my attention every single day.

Robert Frost was born in San Francisco in 1874, but he spent most of his life moving from place to place, often returning to New England, the place of his later childhood and early adult years．

Robert was the first child born in his family. Frost’s early childhood was filled with anxiety, since his father drank and gambled too much. Frost’s father died when Frost was 11, leaving his mother with no choice but to move back home with her parents in Lawrence, Massachusetts．

Frost’s first published poem appeared in the Lawrence High School Bulletin in 1890. While Frost could attend Harvard College, he attended Dartmouth College instead, because his grandparents thought he would find success there．Frost dropped out of Dartmouth before his first year was over and began teaching primary school．

In 1894, Frost received his first payment for the poem My Butterfly：an Elegy．He worked as a reporter while still teaching primary school. Frost married his wife, Elinor White, in 1895. Frost and Elinor had their first child in 1896, a son they named Elliot．

In 1897 Frost continued his education at Harvard College, but by 1899 he had dropped out again. In 1901, Frost’s grandfather died, leaving him a farm in New Hampshire, which made it possible for Frost to support his growing family. Robert and Elinor had more children, and Frost wrote more and did several different part-time jobs to make ends meet. He taught English literature，trained other teachers in teaching methods, and taught education and psychology classes．

In 1913, his first book A Boy’s Will was published. The success of this book brought him in contact with many important literary people, including William Yeats. Following this success, Frost published many literary works, including short stories, poems and a play. He made a living by lecturing, writing and sometimes teaching．

Frost actively contributed to the literature until his death in 1963.Frost was highly regarded，and he was awarded the Pulitzer Prize for his poetry four times in his life．

As I enter my 40s, I’ve noticed many of my parents’ generation think social networking is something they are simply unable to understand. They fear that, should they try, they will somehow get it wrong; they will say the wrong thing, do the wrong thing or behave in a way that causes embarrassment. But there are some secrets of social media for them to consider.

Here’s the first secret: everyone feels this way. I recently met a young actor who was complaining that her work demands that she join Microblog, but she always feels like she doesn’t have anything smart to say. It’s the same resistance (抵制). I hear from the older generation, who, however, have somehow believed that age is the barrier (障碍), rather than the differences of personal taste.

Here’s the second secret: everybody uses it for more or less the same reasons. Older generations often sign up to stay in touch with children and relatives. We talk about this kind of communication like it’s some old-fashioned activity, but it is exactly why younger people use social media. The truth is that most people use social media to gently keep an eye on one another, to see how those they care about are doing without needing to ring them up on the phone every night.

And this is the last secret: everyone gets to use them in their own way. Newcomers—younger and older—who worry about “getting it right” are thinking that there’s a right way to get them. But actually there isn’t. Personally, I talk a lot on Microblog. And some people post nothing and they use social media every day as readers. Social media companies would rather see people decorating their networks with pictures and posts, but there’s no rule against being a fly on the wall. It’s also a fine way to get involved.

Were quick to forget that the web wasn’t invented by 13-year-olds; it was created by today’s seniors. I’d never try forcing those with no interest in social networks to use Microblog. But don’t let the talk of age divides put you off. There’s nothing to stop the older generation from joining in the network their own generation created.

12. What’s the author’s purpose of writing this passage?

A. To share with us his personal experience using social media.

B. To explain why the old generation don’t use social media.

C. To free the old generation from fearing using social media.

D. To tell us a few secrets of social media that he discovered.

13. The expression “a fly on the wall” in the 4th paragraph refers to            .

A. people who prefer reading online books

B. people who cause trouble to others

C. people who post many fancy pictures

D. people who simply observe others’ posts

14. According to the author, which is a reason for old people’s fear using social media?

A. They believe they may be trapped in embarrassing situations.

B. They have no particular interest in social networking.

C. They prefer staying in touch with relatives in real life.

D. They have no idea which contents to post online.

15. Which of the following may best describe the structure of this passage?

A.  B.

C.  D.

【答案】12. C    13. D    14. A    15. A

Best wishes,

Li Hua

【答案】Dear Peter,

I’m glad to hear you’ll come to our school as an exchange student next term. Since you want to learn about Chinese body language in our daily life, let me tell you some.

We usually greet each other with head nodding, smiles, hand shaking and so on. During the conversation, it’s good manners to have eye contact instead of staring directly at others. In class, students are required to raise their hands if they have any questions. Moreover, it’s common to see youth of the same sex hold hands or hug in public places.

I hope my introduction can be of some help to you. Whenever necessary, I’m always here to give you a hand.

Looking forward to your arrival.

Best wishes,

Li Hua
