Kristina Wegscheider from California first travelled alone when she was at college and believed that it was something everyone should do at least once in their life. "It opens up your mind to new things and pushes you out of your comfort zone."Wegscheider has visited 46 countries covering six continents. In foreign countries, with no one to help you read a map, look after you if you get ill, or lend you money if your wallet is stolen, it is challenging. This is what drives young people to travel alone. It is seen as character building and a chance to prove that they can make it on their own. Chris Richardson decided to leave his sales job in Australia to go travelling last year. He set up a website, The Aussie Nomad, to document his adventures. He said he wished he had travelled alone earlier. "The people you meet, the places you visit , or the things you do , everything is up to you and it forces you to grow as a person, "said the 30-year-old. Richardson describes travelling alone like "a shot in the arm", which "makes you a more confident person that is ready to deal with anything". He said, "The feeling of having conquered something on my own is a major part of what drives me each day when I'm dealing with a difficult task. I walk around with my head up because I know deep down inside that nothing is impossible if you try." The great 19th century explorer John Muir once said, "Only by going alone in silence can one truly get into the heart of the wilderness." 1. Why is it challenging to travel alone? A. It will finally build your character. B. It is hard for you to prove yourself to others. C. You have to make things on your own. D. You depend on yourself whatever happens. 【答案】D 【解析】细节理解题。根据第三段第一句可知，在国外独自旅行时没有人帮你看地图，生病时没人照顾你，钱包被偷时没人借给你钱，不管
