A little stream ran down from a high mountain far, far away through many villages and forests, until she reached a desert. The stream then thought, “I’ve been through countless difficulties, I should have no problem crossing this desert!” But as she started her journey, she found herself slowly disappearing into the sand. After many tries, she still failed and was very unhappy, “Maybe I can’t reach the ocean in the end, “ she said sadly to herself.
At this time, a deep voice came, “If a breeze can cross the desert, so can a stream.” It was the voice of the desert. But the little stream replied, “That’s because a breeze can fly, but I cannot.” “That’s because you can’t give up what you are. If you like to do it, and let yourself evaporate into the breeze, it can take you across, and you can reach the ocean.” said the desert.
“Give up what I am now and disappear into the breeze? No! No!” The little stream could not accept this idea. After all, she had never experienced anything like it before.
“The breeze can carry the vapor across the desert and let it leave as rain. The rain will form a stream again to continue its course.” explained the desert very patiently.
“And whether you’re a stream or vapor, your nature never changes, “continued the desert. Hearing this, the little stream rushed into the open arms of the breeze, which carried her to the next stage of her life.

Years ago, I feared traveling alone. But after taking several work trips on my own, I’ve realized traveling alone is not only easy but also fantastic.
Over the years, I’ve realized traveling with someone is all about compromise (妥协). You have to agree on which museums to visit, where to eat dinner and what time to start the day. When I travel alone, I don’t have to give up anything. If I want to wake up at 11 a. m., I can. If I realize I need a rest at noon, I don’t need to explain myself to anyone. I found the freedom to do whatever I want without someone saying yes is the best part of traveling alone.
Before traveling alone, I thought I’d hate it, for I would not be able to share experiences with someone else, but I learned the opposite is true for me. When I’m in a new city by myself, I get to stay in my own head and experience something without someone else’s ideas troubling mine. I can listen to music, read a book or find somewhere I can just sit and think. When I travel with another person or a group, these moments are few.
Although I seldom feel lonely on trips, I sometimes turn to social media to keep me connected with people. I found that taking a photo or a video and posting it on the Internet can start a conversation with friends. But I learned through my travels that I value connecting with the new place more than connecting with old friends.
Traveling alone not only helped me have confidence, but also helped better my mental health.
46. When did the writer change his view of traveling alone?
A. Before connecting with old friends.
B. After turning to social media.
C. Before getting information from books.
D. After taking some work trips.
47. Which was the best part of traveling alone for the writer?
A. Compromise. B. Freedom. C. Confidence. D. Health.
48. What can we learn about the writer from Paragraph 3?
A. He truly hates to stay alone.
B. He prefers traveling with others nowadays.
C. He used to like sharing traveling experiences.
D. He finds it easy to sit and think when traveling in groups.
49. How did the writer keep in touch with his friends when traveling alone?
A. By making phone calls. B. By sending e-mails.
C. By posting photos online. D. By introducing new places.
50. What would be the suitable title for the text?
A. Enjoy Traveling Alone B. Go Traveling Online
C. Experience Cheap Travel D. Value Group Travel

My life has changed a lot in the last few years. When I was a little child, I used to play with my friends all day long. We found that almost anything could bring fun to us. But now, I am growing up, things seem to change gradually that I don’t realize.
I had a lot of time to play before but now nearly all my time is spent on study and homework. I used to watch cartoons, but now I prefer news and English programs. Generally speaking, things turn better. Now I am interested in reading and writing. I think that the more good books I read, the more knowledge I get. The biggest change in my life was that I began to love sports at the age of ten. This is the most important change. Because I didn’t use to play sports after school. When I was ten years old, I often fell ill. So my parents encouraged me to play sports after school. Now I’m really interested in sports and I’m much healthier.

A little stream ran down from a high mountain far, far away through many villages and forests, until she reached a desert. The stream then thought, “I’ve been through countless difficulties, I should have no problem crossing this desert!” But as she started her journey, she found herself slowly disappearing into the sand. After many tries, she still failed and was very unhappy, “Maybe I can’t reach the ocean in the end, “ she said sadly to herself.
At this time, a deep voice came, “If a breeze can cross the desert, so can a stream.” It was the voice of the desert. But the little stream replied, “That’s because a breeze can fly, but I cannot.” “That’s because you can’t give up what you are. If you like to do it, and let yourself evaporate into the breeze, it can take you across, and you can reach the ocean.” said the desert.
“Give up what I am now and disappear into the breeze? No! No!” The little stream could not accept this idea. After all, she had never experienced anything like it before.
“The breeze can carry the vapor across the desert and let it leave as rain. The rain will form a stream again to continue its course.” explained the desert very patiently.
“And whether you’re a stream or vapor, your nature never changes, “continued the desert. Hearing this, the little stream rushed into the open arms of the breeze, which carried her to the next stage of her life.
The course of our lives is like the experience of the little stream. If you want to overcome the difficulties in your life to get success, you should also change the way you used to be.

A. she failed many times. B. she was afraid of nature.
C. she didn’t meet any difficulties. D. she wouldn’t give up what she was.
39. How did the little stream finally cross the desert?
A. By forming a river. B. By changing her nature.
C. By disappearing into the sand. D. By evaporating into the breeze.
40. What is the main idea of the story?
A. The road to success is not always that easy.
B. Our lives can be as difficult as the little stream’s.
C. To succeed, we should change the way we used to be.
D. We may experience difficulty in life just like the little stream.

Years ago, I feared traveling alone. But after taking several work trips on my own, I’ve realized traveling alone is not only easy but also fantastic.
Over the years, I’ve realized traveling with someone is all about compromise (妥协). You have to agree on which museums to visit, where to eat dinner and what time to start the day. When I travel alone, I don’t have to give up anything. If I want to wake up at 11 a. m., I can. If I realize I need a rest at noon, I don’t need to explain myself to anyone. I found the freedom to do whatever I want without someone saying yes is the best part of traveling alone.
Before traveling alone, I thought I’d hate it, for I would not be able to share experiences with someone else, but I learned the opposite is true for me. When I’m in a new city by myself, I get to stay in my own head and experience something without someone else’s ideas troubling mine. I can listen to music, read a book or find somewhere I can just sit and think. When I travel with another person or a group, these moments are few.
Although I seldom feel lonely on trips, I sometimes turn to social media to keep me connected with people. I found that taking a photo or a video and posting it on the Internet can start a conversation with friends. But I learned through my travels that I value connecting with the new place more than connecting with old friends.
Traveling alone not only helped me have confidence, but also helped better my mental health.
46. When did the writer change his view of traveling alone?
A. Before connecting with old friends.
B. After turning to social media.
C. Before getting information from books.
D After taking some work trips.
47. Which was the best part of traveling alone for the writer?
A. Compromise. B. Freedom. C. Confidence. D. Health.
48. What can we learn about the writer from Paragraph 3?
A. He truly hates to stay alone.
B. He prefers traveling with others nowadays.
C. He used to like sharing traveling experiences.
D. He finds it easy to sit and think when traveling in groups.
49. How did the writer keep in touch with his friends when traveling alone?
A. By making phone calls. B. By sending e-mails.
C. By posting photos online. D. By introducing new places.
50. What would be the suitable title for the text?
A. Enjoy Traveling Alone B. Go Traveling Online
C. Experience Cheap Travel D. Value Group Travel
