Some people say solo travel is the comfort and relaxation of having your very own.However，for those looking for some more adventurous“me-time，”solo tours also typically offer plenty of free time to go it alone.During your time at leisure，you have the freedom to do your own exploration，see the sights you want to see or simply relax and take it easy.With no-one to compromise（妥协，和解）with，it's totally up to you.
Meet like-minded people
Solo travel doesn't mean you have to travel alone.Solo travelers come from all walks of life.but they usually all share the same passion —a desire to see the world!It's often the people you meet on holiday that are the max highlight of the entire trip and，even though you're travelling alone，you'll have amazing memories of the shared experiences you had together with people in your group.Take plenty of pictures to remember forever.
You'll never be alone
Group travel is ideal for solo travelers as it offers the opportunity to a group of like-minded people，each interested in their chosen destination.Being part of a group provides extra security（especially key for independent female travelers who may feel anxious about being on their own）and for everyone there is the benefit of an expert local guide who is keen to share their knowledge.The guides also accompany you on tours and can offer suggestions on what to see and do in your leisure time to ensure you have an authentic and enjoyable experience.

As a doctoral student，I served as a hostess for famous authors and illustrators（插图画家）when they came to participate in the Ohio State University Children's Literature Conference.I hosted such beloved creators of children's books as Nikki Grimes，Jerry Pinkney and James Ransome.I would stand at the airport，holding one of their books and waiting to pick them up and then drive them around town to places they needed to go and assist them during autograph（签名）sessions.After graduating from my university and accepting a position at Clemson University in 2003，I kept in touch with James Ransome.
In 2005 I received a grant from the government to conduct a family-literacy program.I wanted to see what would happen when I exposed ten African American families with children to books by and about African Americans.I provided each of the families with copies of seven books，five of which were illustrated by James.
The families participated in a series of five monthly workshops，and the final event was a presentation by James and an autograph session with him.I believed this event would be a meaningful way to end the program，by having a famous illustrator of children's literature come and talk about his work，especially because the families and I had read and responded to several of his books over the course of the five workshops.
James's visit was informative and enlightening for the families.A parent，Ashley，told me that she sent a note to her son's teacher about having participated in the program and loaned her son's autographed copies of James's books for the class to read.Looking back over my career，this family-literacy program is one of the accomplishments of which I am the proudest，and I am especially pleased that James was part of it.

B.Caring.
C.Tolerant.
D.Appreciative.

Recently，many climate change campaigns and organizations have marketed themselves using images of polar bears losing their habitat.This has led many people to view the polar bear as the global icon（象征物）for our climate crisis.
The polar bear has become so widespread because lit does an excellent job of playing on the audience's emotions and convincing them that there is an urgent problem on Earth.The imagery of a polar bear is also much more attractive than a scientific graph（图表）or chart of increasing sea level or frequency of extreme weather.
However，using polar bears as the only icon of climate change is flawed（有缺点的）.For one，it only represents one effect of climate change，global warming，and not climate change itself.It neglects to address other aspects such as extreme weather events，ocean acidification，etc.While global warming is an important impact of climate change，the other aspects need to be communicated as well since climate change may not even cause warming in certain parts of the world -it could lead to severe snowstorms or colder winters instead.Thus，communicating these other elements is vital because it can reduce much of the misinformation surrounding our climate and give the audience a more comprehensive understanding of our planet.
Moreover，using images of polar bears is problematic because most people do not live anywhere near polar bear habitat.This makes polar bears feel far removed from our own personal reality-thus making climate change feel far removed from our lives.Since climate change is anything but a distant phenomenon，a symbol that communicates the ways in which the climate crisis affects humans could be more convincing and push more people to act.
Even though using the polar bear as the icon of climate change plays a limited role in conveying the full scope of our climate crisis，it can act as an agent of opening up the conversation about environmental issues and inspiring viewers to dive deeper into learning about climate change.
28.Why are polar bears preferred as marketing images？
A.Their imagery is more convincing.
B.They are likely to lose their habitat.
C.They are unique victims of the climate crisis.
D.The data on them often appear in scientific graphs.
29.What can we learn from paragraph 3？
A.Polar bears are the only indicator of climate change.
B.Climate change is bound to result in global warming.
C.All elements of climate change have been communicated to the public.
D.Using polar bears as the only icon of climate change will cause some problems.
30.What does the underlined word "This"refer to in paragraph 4？
A.Failing to understand our planet.
B.Refusing to take immediate action.
C.Living far from polar bear habitat.
D.Using polar bears to explain climate change.
31.Which of the following is the best title for the passage？
A.The occurrence of climate change
B.The possible impact of climate change
C.The imperfect symbol of climate change
D.The importance of protecting polar bears
D
There are many kinds of pollution，which can be classified by environment，including air pollution，water pollution，and land pollution.Modern society is also concerned about specific types of pollution，such as noise pollution，light pollution and plastic pollution.Pollution of all kinds may not only have negative effects on the environment and wildlife.but also do harm to human health and well-being.
Although environmental pollution can be caused by natural events such as forest fires and active volcanoes，use of the word"pollution"generally means that the wastes have an anthropocentric source—that is，a source created by human activities.Pollution has accompanied humankind ever since groups of people first congregated and remained for a long time in any one place.Indeed，ancient human settlements are frequently recognized by their wastes，Pollution was not a serious problem as long as there was enough space available for each individual or group.However，with the establishment of permanent settlements by great numbers of people，pollution became a problem，and it has remained one ever since.
By the middle of the 20th century，an awareness of the need to protect air，water，and land environments from pollution had developed among the general public.In particular，the publication in 1962 of Rachel Carson's book Silent Spring focused attention on environmental damage caused by improper use of pesticides such as DDT.In response，major pieces of environmental law and regulation were passed in many countries to control the environmental pollution.
Great efforts are made to limit the release of harmful substances into the environment.Unfortunately，attempts at pollution control are surpassed by the scale of the problem，especially in less-developed countries.Noxious levels of air pollution are common in large cities.To control the pollution completely，we still have a long way to go.
32.What does paragraph 1 mainly talk about？
A.The history of pollution.
C.The causes of pollution.
B.The types of pollution.
D.The effects of pollution.
33.What is the original cause of pollution according to this passage？
A.Natural disasters.
C.Volcanoes.
B.Forest fires.
D.Human activities.
34.What does the underlined word"congregated"mean in paragraph 2？
A.gathered.
B.separated.
C.attended.
D.lived.
35.What can be inferred from the last two paragraphs？
A.No measures have been taken by the government to control the problems of pollution.
B.The book Silent Spring helped to improve the awareness of protecting the environment.
C.Silent Spring concentrated on the improper use of plastic bags.
D.The pollution has been controlled in less-developed countries.

项。
Do you think you need to shout at yourself to force yourself to finish your homework？If so，think again. 36 Research shows that practicing self-compassion （自我关怀）improves our mental and physical well-being and supports long-term success.
Self-compassion is the practice of being kind and supportive to ourselves.The opposite is 37 These negative being self-critical and mean to ourselves when we make a mistake.responses are related to depression，stress and reduced quality of life.
A 2017 study found people who practice self-compassion tend to handle stress better.Their bodies have less of a stress response when，for example，they meet with difficulties at work or school. 38 Let's say they do poorly on a geometry test.Self-compassion helps them use the experience to make changes going forward，like seeking out a math tutor.
39 We can start with mindfulness.First of all，practice observing our thoughts —are they understanding or critical？Don't judge ourselves too severely then.Rather than getting caught up in how we could have done better，forgive ourselves and think about what to change while remaining respectful，and loving to ourselves. 40 ，We can read a novel，play a musical instrument or kick around a soccer ball with friends.
With practice，we can learn to treat ourselves with kindness and unconditional love—not tough love.
A.So how do we develop self-compassion？
B.It may be more effective to be kind to yourself.
C.It includes letting go of your strict self-criticism.
D.Mindfulness is the key to practicing self-compassion.
E.But this approach does not make us feel or perform better.
F.They have more confidence to look for areas where they can improve.
G.Also，show ourselves kindness in ways that nourish（滋养）our spirit and body.

阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
I had run away from home after finishing high school.My parents had insisted I go to college，but I was tired of school.I hated it.I was determined not to go.And，besides，my father was too strict.I had too many chores to do around the farm.I hated the work!
There had been a quarrel between my father and me.I threw some things into a bag and left angrily，as my father shouted after me，“If you leave，don't come back!”My mother cried openly，and I had seen those tears during a hundred sleepless nights.
Then it was time to write a letter to my father.
Dear Dad，
It's been more than a year now.I've traveled east to west.I've had dozens of jobs.None of them amounted to very much.Always the same questions：“How much education have you got？”It seems they always want college men for the good jobs.
Dad，you and Mother were right about everything.I know now that the work on the farm didn't hurt me，and I'm convinced I need college.I'm also convinced that both of you loved me.
Dad，I've learned a lesson.I want to come home.I know you said if I left，I couldn't come back，but I'm praying you'll change your mind.I want to come home and be a part of the family again.
Give my love to Mother and the girls.
Love，
Your son
As I folded the letter and put it into an envelope，I felt a refreshing relief.It was as if a heavy load had been lifted from my shoulders.And I had to be on my way home.
I started down the deserted road—the long road home.Fortunately，a car picked me up，and it was good to have someone to talk with.The driver was a salesman and very pleasant.
“Where you going，boy？”he asked good-naturedly.
There was a long silence before I said，“Home.”
“Been away from home long？”
I smiled，a little self-conscious，and said，“One year，one month and two days.”
注意：
1.所续写短文的词数应为150左右；
2.续写部分分为两段，每段的开头语已为你写好；
Having heard my story，he expressed his support for my final decision and told me something surprising about his son.
Finally，I arrived home when it was completely dark.
