     People who like travelling have their reasons.They believe that travelling can help them expand their
field of view, especially in the geographical and historical sense.They also think that touring will give them
more chances to enjoy different kinds of food and experience new things  that would never be  brought
by other activities.But those who dislike travelling also have some reasons.
     Travelling, in my opinion, does more good than  harm.Most importantly, it broadens (使擴大) our
mind.We can get in touch with other civilizations (文明), cultures, customs and ideas.
     Through history, most people travelled because of necessity (必要性)-not for pleasure.People
travelled just in order to remain alive.They searched for food to eat or places to live in.They sometimes
ran away from enemies.This is not to say that no one ever travelled just for the fun of it.In ancient times,
for  example, rich Romans travelled all the way to Greece to take part in the Olympic Games, and
festivals.Of course, some people decided to travel just out of curiosity (好奇心). They wanted to find
out what it looked like beyond the horizon  (地平線). Also business travel has been going on for
centuries.Traders could not only make money but also learn to speak several languages and be
introduced to different cultures.
     So, travelling does enrich our mind and draw new ideas to us.There is no doubt that we can get much
from it.
1. The underlined word "expand" in Paragraph 1 can be replaced by "________".
A. widen

閱讀理解。
     A survey was conducted in Shanghai where interviewees were asked if they wanted to be a factory worker. One percent of all peo ple interviewed said: "YES," Wang Hongjun, a technician, said, rai sing his voice for
impressive effect." But I can tell you, only a small part of that I percent are telling the truth."
     I've met colorful people like Wang all over China. They are cynical (玩世不恭的 ) yet warmhearted, plain
spoken but smart. And many of them are confined (局限于) to work in factories.
     Wang is a top technician but also represents manual factory workers, who are China's most important
natural resource. Their en- ergy is powering China's economic boom, and their muscle is turning the wheel of
the world's factory.
     But does their unskilled labor give their life meaning? At school, did they tell their friends:" When I grow up
I want to work in a factory making socks?" Did you?
     Factory work has always been a stepping-stone from farm life to the city and a modern life. It's been
happening for centuries, but today, with our space-age technology, it's outdated. Earning 1,200 yuan,( $169)
per month working in a factory is better than that on a farm, but as Wang points out, it's not a dream career.
There should be better ways to earn your rice.
     Many modern factories no longer have production line workers. Robots do the assembly (裝配). People
just do the monitoring. In this age of technology, in which China is now working smarter and not just harder,
why are people still standing in production lines?
     But life is cheap in China. So why not continue to make use of the low-cost labor situation and keep the
economy growing fast, some entrepreneurs may ask.
      But have these businessmen ever labored in a factory?
1. How many people surveyed really like to be factory workers?
A. One percent.
B. Only a small part.
C. Only a small part of that one percent.
D. The writer didn't mention it.
2. Which is NOT the writer's opinion of factory workers?
A. Cynical.
B. Unimportant.
C. Warmhearted.
D. Plain spoken.
3. The writer uses _____ to begin the passage.
A. a lot of figures
B. many examples
C. some dialogue
D. the result of a survey
