完形填空 (每小题1分,共10分)
We often reach a point in our life when we should be ready for change that will help us unlock our self-improvement power. However, there’s always something right under our nose but we don’t see it. The only 16 we think of unlocking our self-improvement power is when everything gets worst.
When do we realize that we need to change diets When none of our shirts and jeans would 17 us. When do we stop eating candies and chocolates When all of our teeth have fallen off. When do we realize that we need to stop smoking When our lungs(肺) have gone bad. We see the warning signs and signals when things get difficult.
Change will happen, like it 18 hate it. At one point or another, we are all going to finally unlock our self-improvement power not because the world says so, but because we 19 it’s for our own good.
Happy people don’t just 20 change, they embrace (拥抱) it. Unlocking our self-improvement power means unlocking ourselves 21 the box of thought that is just the way we are. It is such a poor excuse for people who is afraid of change.
Jane always tells everyone that she doesn’t have the courage to be around groups of people. She heard her family tell the same things about her to other people. Over the years, that is 22 Jane has believed. Every time a great crowd come, she steps back and locks herself up in a room. Jane not only believes in her story, but 23 it!
Self-improvement may not be everybody’s favorite word, but if we look at things in a different way, we might have greater chances of enjoying the whole process 24 counting the days until we are fully improved. Exercise three times in a week at the gym would lead to a healthier life. Reading books every day would build up 25 . And only when we are enjoying the whole process of unlocking our self-improvement power will we realize that we’re beginning to take things light and become happy.

A
Do you know how to get cheap airline, train tickets or hotel accommodations (膳宿)
On a recent flight, Laura was chatting happily with the woman in the next seat – until the conversation turned to fares. The woman, who bought her ticket two months in advance, paid $109. Laura paid $457. She decided that next time she would find out how to travel for less.
Here are some ways to travel for less:
Cheap airplane tickets. To fly for less money, you can buy non-refundable plane tickets two or three months before your trip. The cheapest way to fly is as a courier(信使). In return for delivering a package for a courier company, you get a plane ticket that costs as little as one-quarter of the regular price – or even less if the company needs someone at the last minute. Recently, a courier flew round trip from Los Angeles to Tokyo for $100; a regular ticket cost around $1,800.
Train passes. If you’re going to do a lot of traveling by train, a train pass will save you money. Buying a single pass gives you unlimited travel for a period of time. Train passes can be especially useful in India, which has the world’s largest rail system; in Japan, where trains are fast and convenient; and in Europe, where trains go to over 30,000 cities.
Hostels (招待所). Hostels used to provide cheap accommodations – in dormitories – for people under the age of 25. Nowadays, hostels don‘t have any age requirements. They’re not only cheap ($8—$17 a night) but a great way to meet people. Hostels are often in interesting places – a castle in Germany, a lighthouse in California, a one-room schoolhouse in the wilderness of Australia. And sometimes hostels have luxuries like swimming pools.
26. Laura paid much more for the plane ticket because .
A. she bought her ticket two months ago B. the woman was sitting in the next seat
C. she didn’t know how to travel for less D. the woman was chatting with her happily
27. ways are introduced to travel for less in the material above.
A. Two B. Three C. Four D. Five
28. The underlined word fares in the first paragraph probably means “ ”.
A. the money you pay to travel by plane B. the schedule you make for a holiday
C. the pictures you draw when on a plane D. the plan you make for buying cheap tickets

A. India has the world’s largest rail system. B. It’s convenient to travel by train in Europe.
C. People over 25 can’t stay in a hostel nowadays. D. Hostels around the world are often in interesting places.
