If you choose to be alone on purpose, you can wholly devote yourself to thinking. But how often do you think about thinking?
Several years ago a college administrator told me that if he wanted to do any serious thinking, he had to get up at 5:30 in the morning—I suppose because that was the time 1.

when
it was best. At that time, no one would 2. interrupt him. More recently I heard a professor remark that when his friends catch him 3. in the act of reading a book, they say, "My, it must be nice to have so

much free time." And 4. even though I am an English teacher—a person who should know better—I find myself feeling vaguely guilty 5. wherever I go to the library to read. It is a common belief that if a man is thinking or reading, he is doing nothing.

It's easy to understand the reasons for this 6. prejudice against ofprejudice of thinking. One problem is that to most of us, thinking 7. looks suspiciously like doing nothing. A person in deep thought is an uninspiring sight. He 8. leansback in a state of relaxation. He looks relaxed in his chair as he stares 9. into space. He gives every appearance of wasting time. 10. Besides from, he's leaving all the hard work for us!

But thinking is far different 11. from laziness. Thinking is one of the most productive activities a person can 12. undertake. And thinking does 13. inquire time and effort. It's a common misconception that if a person is bright, wonderful ideas will 14. flash spontaneously into his mind. Unfortunately, the brain doesn't 15. workmakeeffectedit this way. 16. Even that Einstein had to study and think for months at a time. Thinking was necessary for him before he could 17. make up of his theory of relativity. Those of us who are 18. lessintelligent find it a struggle to create our ideas. To create even a 19. moderately good idea, takes time for thought. I have to spend months for a good idea to enter my head, let 20. lonely a brilliant one. So is it right to take thinking as doing nothing?

Choosing a travel companion is at least as uncertain as choosing a marriage partner. The chances of success are perhaps even less.
No law of causality (因果关系) exists to insist that in choosing a travel companion you will lose a friend. But it's not unlikely. The odds depend on the length and the rigorousness (严密) of the trip. Some friendships have a strength that will withstand even travel; others are by nature short-lived and travel merely hastens their dissolution (结束，终止).

Perhaps I should make it clear that in discussing this matter of travel companions I am confining myself to Platonic (柏拉图式的) friendships. Intimate friends may well be the best companions of all. Compromises and concessions from such companions clearly spring from a recognized emotional base that colors every issue. I'll confine myself, then, to companions, male and female, who are sharing a trip solely for company. Why bother at all with a travel companion? Why not travel alone, shiftily (机智地) pursuing one's goal? Some of the answers are obvious. A pleasant fellow traveler eases the stress and tensions, adds to the delights and rewards and pays half the bills. However, a bad-tempered companion quite often brings you to the point where you devoutly (虔诚地) wish you were alone.

Finding that suitable companion is something of an art and something of a gamble. But the choice should be determined by one important rule: travelers should be going on the trip with the same

idea in mind. They should hold in common a theory of travel.




1. Choosing a travel companion is hard and risky, because _A_______.
A. one may lose a friend
B. one may suffer financial losses
C. one may be trapped in the dangerous situation
D. one may miss the chance of finding the right marriage partner

2. When intimate friends travel together, _____C___.
A. the trip will hasten their dissolution
B. the trip will make them closer to each other
C. they will find the right ways to solve problems due to their relationship
D. they will make more friends on trip

3. It can be inferred from the passage that the companion talked about here is the person _____B___.
A. one can think of developing a deeper relationship with
B. one can travel with merely for company
C. one can count on for a free travel
D. one can learn much from

4. Which of the following statements is TRUE? D
A. Choosing a travel companion won't lead to the loss of friends.
B. Friendships cannot withstand the test of any trip.
C. A travel companion is badly needed if one wants to take a trip.
D. Like-minded people should travel together.

5. Which of the following is the best title for this passage? B
A. Travel and Marriage-Two Similar Experiences
B. Finding a Good Travel Companion-a Risky Matter
C. Will Travel Damage the Friendship?
D. Should One Travel Alone or in Another's Company?
Questions 6 to 10 are based on the same passage or dialog.

The term "culture shock" has already begun to creep into the popular vocabulary. Culture shock is the effect that involvement in a strange culture has on the unprepared visitor. Culture shock is what happens when a traveler suddenly finds himself in a place where yes may mean no, where a "fixed price" is negotiable, where to be kept waiting in an outer office is no cause for insult, where laughter may signify (意味) anger.
The culture shock phenomenon causes a breakdown in communication, a misreading of reality, an inability to cope. Yet culture shock is relatively mild in comparison with the much more serious malady (弊病), future shock. Future shock is brought on by the premature arrival of the future. It may well be the most important disease of tomorrow.

Take an individual out of his own culture and set him down suddenly in an environment sharply different from his own, with a different set of cues to react to—different conceptions (概念) of time, space, work, love, religion, sex, and everything else, then the dislocation he suffers will be severe. Given few clues as to what kind of behavior is rational under the radically new circumstances, the victim may well become a danger to himself and others.

Now imagine not merely an individual but an entire society, an entire generation—including its weakest, least intelligent, and most irrational members—suddenly transported into this new world. The result is mass disorientation (迷失方向),

future shock on a grand scale.

This is the prospect that man now faces. Change is avalanching (把……淹没) upon our heads and most people are unprepared to cope with it.




6. Culture shock occurs when ___D_____.
A. one loses all hopes of returning to his home environment
B. one expresses ideas and emotions contrary to what he intends to express
C. one cannot make accurate judgment using one's own value standards
D. one cannot conduct negotiations for goods of fixed prices

7. Future shock is much more serious than culture shock as ___A_____.
A. it concerns the problems of the future
B. it affects people on a grand scale
C. it causes personal insults
D. it destroys the foundation of the society

8. The word "cue" in Para. 3 most probably refers to something that __C______.
A. puzzles an individual
B. disturbs an individual's normal way of life
C. helps an individual to function in society
D. arouses an individual's interest in the new culture

9. One effective way to prevent future shock is to ____A____.
A. get people prepared for future change
B. keep people informed of foreign cultures
C. have people resist possible future change
D. acquaint people with the harm of future change

10. It can be inferred that the author's tone in the passage is ______D__.
A. humorous
B. exaggerated
C. radical
D. serious
Questions 11 to 15 are based on the same passage or dialog.

Silence is unnatural to man. He begins life with a cry and ends it in stillness. In the interval he does all he can to make a noise in the world, and there are few things of which he stands in more fear than of the absence of noise. Even his conversation is in great measure a desperate attempt to prevent a dreadful (可怕的) silence. He knows that ninety-nine percent of human conversation means no more than the buzzing (发出嗡嗡声) of a fly, but he longs to join the buzz and to prove that he is a man and not a waxwork figure. The object of conversation is not, for the most part, to communicate ideas. It is to keep up the buzzing sound. There are, it must be admitted, different qualities of buzz: there is even a buzz that is as exasperating (使人恼怒的) as the continuous ping (砰声) of a mosquito. But at a dinner party one would rather be a mosquito than a mute (哑巴). Most buzzing, fortunately, is agreeable to the ear, and some of it is agreeable even to the mind. He would be a foolish man, however, who waited until he had a wise thought to take part in the buzzing with his neighbors.
Those who despise (看不起) the weather as a conversational opening seem to me to be ignorant of the reason why human beings wish to talk. Very few human beings join in a conversation in the hope of learning anything new. Some of them are content if they are merely allowed to go on making a noise into other people's ears, though they have nothing to tell them except that they have seen two or

three new plays or that they have had food in a Swiss hotel. At the end of an evening during which they have said nothing at immense length, they are proud of themselves on their success as conversationalists.




11. The significance of man's speaking ability is that _A_______.
A. it proves his existence as a man
B. it raises his position as a man
C. it makes him enjoy meaningful conversations
D. it gets him out of trouble

12. The statement that "ninety-nine percent of human conversation means no more than the buzzing of a fly" suggests that ________C.
A. most of the human conversations are inspiring and instructive
B. most of the human conversations are as irritating as the noise made by a fly
C. most of the human conversations can be dismissed as meaningless
D. most of the human conversations can be regarded as the effective activities

13. According to the passage, a man will look silly if he _____B___.
A. makes mistakes in the conversation
B. feels reluctant to join in the conversation
C. fails to communicate anything new to others in the conversation
D. misunderstands others' meanings in the conversation

14. In the author's opinion, the introduction of weather as a conversational opening indicates _____B___.
A. the ignorance of the conversationalist
B. the start of an acceptable conversation
C. the coming of something new
D. the boring nature of the conversation

15. Which of the following statements is true, according to the passage? C
A. At a dinner party, everyone prefers to talk like a mosquito.
B. People despise meaningless conversations.
C. People take pride in their roles as conversationalists.
D. One can always learn something useful from conversation.
