Travel alone Now many young people are traveling around the world on their own，not because they have no one to travel with，but because they prefer to go alone. Kristina Wegscheider from California first traveled alone when she was at college and believed that it was something everyone should do at least once in their life.“It opens up① your mind to new things and pushes you out of your comfortable zone.”Wegscheider has visited 46 countries covering all seven 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 as② 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 traveling last year.He set up a website，The Aussie Nomad，to document③ his adventures.He said he wished he had traveled 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 man.Richardson describes traveling 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 conquered④ 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 wilderness⑤.” [微积累] ①open up 打开；开发 ②see...as...被视为；被看作 ③document vt.用文件证明，记录；记载 ④conquer vt.战胜；征服，攻克 ⑤wilderness n．荒地，荒野 文化意识：领略自然风光，了解自然文化。 思维品质：①运用合理的思维方式介绍有关旅行的信息；②运用合理的思维方式解决本单元所遇到的问题。 学习能力：①熟练运用本单元的词汇及语言现象；②运用所学知识谈论有关旅行方面的话题；③运用所学知识写一张明信片。 $$
