【題目】I’ve personally traveled through many countries that have had U.S. government warnings issued for them, and I’ve been perfectly safe. Specifically, in the last year, I have travelled safely to both the Philippines and Mexico, and traveled to many South Pacific islands during the tropical cyclone (熱帶氣旋) season and only experienced two days of light rain in six months!. This is, of course, anecdotal, so it’s important that you do your research before booking your trip.

One thing I recommend doing is checking for recent posts on travel forums (論壇), such as Lonely Planet’s Thorntree, to see what people are saying about the country you’ll visit in terms of safety. The U.S. government may make out that an entire country is extremely unsafe when in reality, it’s a small part of it that tourists will be unlikely to visit. Read the travel warnings, too, to see which parts of the country the government recommends that you avoid.

Additionally, it’s worth speaking to your travel insurance provider before you leave to check that you’ll be covered during your travels to these countries. Some insurance .companies won’t cover you if there’s a severe warning for the country, but some will. Travel insurance is a necessity, so it’s definitely something to check out before you leave.

Keep in mind that the U.S. government will help you with emergency evacuation (撤離) from a troubled country, but it comes in the form of a repatriation (歸國) loan via the Office of American Citizens Services and Crisis Management (ACS), which can be called to rescue you from a bad situation abroad. Remember by heart that you’ll have to wait overseas for the money to arrive and eventually repay the loan once you’re home safely. Just another reason to get travel insurance!

【1】What should you do before a travel according to Paragraph 1?

A. Make a good route plan. B. Make a careful study of the trip.

C. Ask the government for help. D. Read the travel books first.

【2】What does the author advise you to check for on travel forums.

A. Tourist places. B. Lonely planet.

C. Travel safety. D. Weather forecast.

【3】Why is it necessary to know about travel insurance companies?

A. Some of them don’t cover all the countries.

B. They may provide false information.

C. They seldom talk with customers.

D. They sometimes offer bad service.

【4】What can we infer from the last paragraph?

A. ACS will repay the loan for you.

B. U.S government is very generous.

C. It’s easy to escape from a troubled country.

D. Getting travel insurance is the best choice.

【題目】Like many young people, I dreamed of growing up and becoming a successful writer one day. My first part-time job came when I was 18 years old. I was working in a paint factory. Because of the terrible smell of pain, it because normal for me to temporarily pass out during my lunch time.

All of my spare time was spent writing and sending stories to any publisher that would read them, dreaming that one day losing consciousness while eating my ham sandwiches would no longer be a part of my daily routine.

I discovered content mills, where a writer could devote his time to writing soul-destroying online copy. It provided a little pay, but I wouldn’t faint. So I quit my day job. But it is difficult to work from home. At times, I would lose all passion for writing 500 words about a bed for a few pounds, but the terrible smell of paint reminded me to get back to writing.

Several months later, the money got better. I was given consistent work writing for one of the largest entertainment websites in the world. The job was simple: I complained about everything that was wrong with society and they paid me 50 for each article. A guy from the website asked if I would be interested in leaving my small town life to move to the big city of Manchester to become a professional writer for them. I accepted.

After a pretty successful year, I was offered a promotion. Just 18 months earlier, I was suffering from the smell of paint on a daily basis and now I was managing a team of nine writers. I had come a long way.

【1】What happened to the writer when he was in a paint factory?

A. He passed out for a long time.

B. He lost his breath during lunch time.

C. He loved his part-time job.

D. He became unconscious due to the bad smell of paint.

【2】Which of the following can be learned according to the text?

A. The writer quit his job to get a higher salary.

B. The writer declined to become an in-house writer.

C. The writer was in charge of a team of 9 writers now.

D. The writer fainted daily due to the bad pay.

【3】Why did the writer once lose love for writing?

A. He was given a little pay for writing.

B. He lost consciousness while writing.

C. He was given consistent work.

D. The smell of paint was unpleasant.

【4】What does the writer mainly want to express?

A. A man can do no more than he can.

B. Follow dreams and never give up.

C. The last leg of a journey just marks the halfway point.

D. No pains, no gains.
