While traveling in Ssesse Island，Uganda，I came across a basket weaver. Weaving basket designs is a complex craft that  36  much skiu and cleverness. To see an expert work is so  37  that I had watched this particular lady for hours. What Was astonishing，  38  ，was that a young African man had also become  39  as the basket weaver performed her craft.

.   40  whether the young man was more interested in the basket weaving or the weaver，I  41  the unexpected couple. On being asked about his  42  in weaving，the wise young man looked at me with complete puzzle and   43  that he didn't know how to weave so he was watching because people call always 44  something from one another.

Of all the lessons I've learned during my travels. one of the finest is that  45 has nothing to do with wealth and little to do with  46  education! Wisdom can be  47  in every village，every. town，every city，country，and continent in every  . 48  of the earth. Moreover，the wisest are often not those who aye the most outspoken but， 49  ，those who are quiet and modest.

The young man on Ssesse Island is a perfect  50  . His high status in the village Was such that he was not  5l   to study the lowly task of basket weaving；yet，there he was. And to top it off，this modest young man threw out a pearl of wisdom so  52  .

As I watch what is  53  in our world today. I find myself wishing that more people had the wisdom of my young African friend.

Young women are more adventurous than young men when travelling abroad in gap years. One in three female backpackers visits more than three countries during a year out and travels alone, according to new research.

By contrast, the majority of their male counterparts visit only one country and tend to travel in groups, says a survey by the Gap Year company, which provides information and services for students considering taking a year out.

More women than men say that their prime reason for taking time off is to see the world and experience different cultures. Men were more likely to rank “having fun” higher on their list of priorities. Women were more likely to value the challenge of a foreign trip, and many cited reasons such as learning a language and meeting new people.

The more adventurous gap years taken by women seem to work to their benefit: more than three quarters of those surveyed reported increased confidence, self-reliance and inde??pendence, whereas only half of the men had that experience.

The research also showed that women were more likely to do voluntary work while trav??elling, with more than one in ten helping with teaching or development projects. One of the reasons given for this is a wish to see the country in an authentic light.

A greater proportion of women than men faced objections or criticism from their fami??lies over their gap-year plans. Among the men surveyed, lack of money was the main barrier to travel.

Carolyn Martin, a doctor from London, was a typically confident female traveller.

Starting in Cape Town, she travelled around southern Africa and Australia with a string of

unusual and sometimes dangerous jobs.

“I had one job chasing elephants off the runway in Africa by banging a stick against a pan,” she recalled. “It was OK but one day I did get chased by one.”

She said that she had travelled alone because “you meet more people”.

A. a gap you come across after leaving high school

48. In the third paragraph, the underlined word “priorities” most probably means ______.

A. selections     B. attractions    C. preferences     D. projects

49. Which of the following statements is TRUE?

A. Men students will travel less during the gap year because of their part-time jobs.

B. Women students will travel more but face more objections.

C. The article suggests that women travelling alone will have dangerous experi??ences.

D. Men students prefer to travel inside their own country to going abroad.

50. Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?
