26、Travelling is a very enjoyable experience as it provides an opportunity to see new things. 【1】The following article discusses the advantages of traveling. Traveling gives you the opportunity to disconnect from your regular life. People all have crazy schedules, work and a family to take care of, and traveling alone or with some friends can give you distance and perhaps even make you realize how important these people are to you. 【2】
Another great benefit is the relaxation you get. 【3】When you come back you feel energetic and you are happy to be back to your daily routine. 【4】They will create a bond that nothing can erase no matter what happens to the friendship/relationship. You can create photo albums and when you feel nostalgic (对往事怀恋的) you can experience the trips again by looking at your pictures.
It’s never been this cheap to travel. With increasing oil prices the cheap travel era might be coming to an end. 【5】
With the Internet and all the new technology, you can plan your trip exactly the way you want it. You can choose your budget, the duration of the trip and what you want to do.
A．It’s nice to enjoy a stress-free time.
B．As the saying goes, you never know what you have until you lose it.
C．When traveling with friends or family it creates memories of a lifetime.
D．Discovering different values and ways to get by in life is really interesting.

27、What to endure before publication?
It takes a lot to write a novel. Even those who haven’t tried would say, “Well, duh!” to this. But it’s not much the mind space or the considerable time it takes to write a novel that is as discouraging as how many times any writer must go back to the drawing board for yet another draft. To really ready a novel for publication, a writer must spend time with his or her book. Like any promising relationship, you, the writer, must date your novel, take it out to dinner, meet its parents, and see it through its most trying and desperate times. As a writer, you have to stay up all night with your novel crying and talking and sometimes even pulling your hair out before that perfect moment of inspiration can truly help you cross the finish line.
For many published authors I know, myself included, a completed novel takes them about 10, that’s right, 10 drafts, and at least a year of real editing. Will you be spending every single second editing your novel? No, of course not. Just as drafts need some real time on the surgery table, they also need rest in the recovery room. You don’t nurse a relationship by spending every waking second with them until you can’t stand the sight of each other, and you can’t produce a novel by breathing down its literary neck. However, a novel should undergo many drafts — and different kinds of drafts — before declaring it ready for an agent or editor to see.
Everyone has their own way to write a novel, and not all craft advice (or even craft “rules”）should all be followed by everyone, but when it comes to the many drafts of a novel, there are specific things a writer should focus on during each revision to help create a smooth transition from the initial idea to final products.
【1】People are discouraged from writing a novel mainly because it requires ______.
A．a good publisher
B．too much thinking
C．tons of working time
D．frequent revisions
【2】By “breathing down its literary neck” in Paragraph 2, the author most probably means ______.
A．writing casually thus failing to take readers’ breath away
B．letting go a single mistake thus annoying the readers
C．X-raying the work thus finding each literary mistake
D．sticking too close to the work thus causing anxiety
【3】Which of the following is most likely to come after the last paragraph?
A．The importance of using proper transitional words in writing.
B．The writing experience shared by famous successful write.
C．Tips on how to make ten drafts to complete a good novel.
D．Setbacks writers may suffer if ignoring the craft advice.
28、 Gratitude is not only an art performed in daily life, but also part of our traditional virtue. Has your mother or friend told you that you’re an ungrateful person? Do you feel unable to appreciate the world or people around you? Are you obsessed with things you don’t have instead of being thankful for what you do have? 【1】then you will definitely need to work on being a more grateful person.
Showing gratitude has been put forward in the last few decades.【2】 But there are still some tips that help make it possible for you to practice gratitude.
Refusing to play the victim is the first step you’re supposed to take. 【3】 If you want to be grateful, stop complaining the world, your teachers, your friends and your family about not putting themselves in your shoes, and focus on how much they’ve helped and cared about you.
Volunteering in your community is another effective way to show how grateful you are for what the world has given you. Whether you’re helping clean up a local park, working in a soup kitchen, or teaching children or adults in your community to learn to read, your perspective towards life will change positively. 【4】
【5】 You shouldn’t always be good only to your close friends or family members. You can help a neighbor look for a lost dog. You can also help an old lady carry her grocery. You don’t have to search for these opportunities purposely. Sometimes they will present themselves. So when they come, act with generosity. You’ll be more grateful for your role played in the world.
A. However hard you try to avoid these questions
B. If you find yourself involved in one of these circumstances
C. Gradually, you’ll be more grateful for the chances to repay the society
D. Doing a random act of kindness is also a great way of practicing gratitude.
E. While such encouragement is morally meaningful，it seems to be a little abstract.
F. Ungrateful persons are always blaming the world for the problems and owing all the faults to others.
G. When you reflect on your thoughts, feelings, emotions and actions, you are actually reflecting on your values.
29、Buttons, which are usually small and round, are often found on all sorts of clothing. They fasten, or connect, one piece of clothing to another. They make sure your clothes don't fall off. When we are speaking or writing in English, buttons can be just as useful.
Men or women often wear button-down clothes to the office. Button-down as an adjective means to be conservative（保守的）or traditional. People who are described as buttoned-down stay close as possible to the normal way of dressing and behaving. They don't wear crazy clothing or do unusual things. People and events can both be described as buttoned-down.
If someone is buttoned-up, he or she seems very business-like. In personal relationships, a buttoned-up person is cold and standoffish, meaning they physically and emotionally keep away from others. Buttoned-up people are not warm or friendly. And they do not share their inner thoughts and feelings with others.
In the expression "button up", button is a verb. It means to stop talking. Now, let's say you find yourself buttonholed in a conversation at a party. The person just keeps talking and talking and talking! Finally, you can't take it any longer. You tell the person to button it! This is a direct, but unacceptable way of saying "stop talking". Button your lip is another equally rude but effective to stop a person too talks too much.
Another kind of difficult person is someone who pushes your buttons: To push someone’s buttons means to know exactly how to get that person angry or upset. People who like to push other people’s buttons usually do it for selfish reasons. First they find a person’s weak point. Then they use it to upset him.
【1】Which of the following best describes buttoned-up people?
A．Comfortable.
B．Attractive.
C．Warm-hearted.
D．Unconcerned.
【2】What does the underlined part "button it" in Paragraph 4 mean?

D．Shut up!
【3】What does a person want to do if he pushes your buttons?
A．Help you out.
B．Make you suffer.
C．Show he knows you well.
D．Point out your weak points.

The meaning of silence varies among cultural group. Silence may be 【1】, or they may be empty when a person has nothing to say.
