1.阅读理解
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.She
believes that it is 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 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 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 traveling last year.He
set up a website,The Aussie Nomad,to document 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
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."
