A pair of best friends from Texas are proving that adventure doesn't have an age limit—even when you're 81.
Ellie Hamby, a photographer, and Sandy Hazelip, a physician, toured the world in 80 days, adventuring from the shores of Bali to the deserts of Egypt.
Their first stop was Antarctica. “The beauty of Antarctica is just unbelievable,” Hamby recalled. Since then, the pair have visited 18 countries across all seven continents.
And despite the challenges international travel presents, the best friends say they finished their trip without any arguments.
“We're both independent and very stubborn. But we seem to allow for giving space,” said Hamby. “We just understand each other and we know this is a good thing we're doing and we kind of respect each other's feelings.”
For Hamby, the most interesting aspect of the trip was the people they met along the way.
“We love all the sights that we saw, but the things that we remember the most are the people that we met,” she said. “We met some of the most wonderful, kindest, friendliest people in the world. We just have friends now all over the world that we love dearly.”
And they shared an important piece of advice for travelers worried about the language barrier on their own adventures.
“You know, people often ask us about the language barrier and how we manage it,” said Hamby. “There's one language and that's a smile. And we found that worked wonders because we were often aware that there was not spoken English. But a smile covers all languages.”
1.Why did they finish the trip without arguments
A.They have different personalities.
B.They prepared presents for each other.
C.They understand and respect each other.
D.They allowed each other to voice their ideas.
2.What part of the trip impressed Hamby most
A.The beautiful sights. B.The wonderful people.
C.The interesting activities. D.The cultural experiences.
3.What did Hamby suggest travelers do with the language barrier

Ⅳ.七选五
It is necessary to be reasonable and flexible enough to avoid conflicts as much as possible and live in peace with others. 1 If you have done all your best to avoid conflicts and you are still arguing, reading the following routes can be influential.
Don't get in the center of the conflict.
Sometimes people can get in the center of the conflict due to their enthusiasm(热心) for offering help. Frankly speaking, it is very unwise, because it can make you the main figure of the conflict. 2 You should focus on your own life issues.
Be kind.
3 Life is full of conflicts and disagreements, and that's why you should find more conservative(保守的) ways of dealing with them. For example, kindness cannot strengthen the conflict.
Try to be a peacekeeper.
Peacekeepers tend to cooperate with people without bad emotions which usually lead to arguments and even conflicts. “ 4 ” This saying is the life motto of a natural-born peacekeeper. Don't worry if you are not a natural-born peacekeeper; you can gain this skill during your life.
5
When the conflict is gathering pace and you can't manage to control yourself, you should choose to handle the situation in another way. By all means, try to keep yourself away from stress. It is helpful to put some distance between yourself and the opponent(对手). You should get away from the situation for a while.
A.Walk off.
B.The greatest victory is the battle not fought.
C.Conflicts are unavoidable, so try to accept them.
D.Weak people usually desire others to offer help and support.
E.Let other people solve their problems without your presence.
F.When someone pushes you to the limit, try to act kindly towards this person.
G.Arguing can either break up your friendship or affect your relationship to some degree.

Ⅴ.读后续写
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。
If you had to choose one word to describe Kevin, it might have been “slow”. He didn't learn his ABC as fast as other kids. He never came in first in the running races. However, Kevin's smile was brighter than the sun in June; his heart was bigger than the sky. Kevin's enthusiasm for life spread quickly to others. So when he discovered that the teacher, Randy, was putting together a boys' basketball team, his mother could only answer,“Yes, you may join it.”
Basketball became the center of Kevin's life. At practice, he worked so hard that you'd have thought he was preparing for the NBA. He liked to stand on a certain spot near the free-throw(罚球) line and shoot baskets. Patiently, he stood there throwing ball after ball after ball, until finally it would get into the basket. “Look at me, Coach!”he'd shout to Randy, jumping up and down, his face just glowing with excitement. His teammates were also moved by Kevin's perseverance, and they insisted on practicing with him.
Kevin and his whole team truly loved basketball. But just loving the game didn't help them win. More balls fell out of the basket than into it, and the boys lost every game that season by very large scores, except one: that night it snowed and the other team couldn't make it to the game. At the end of the season, the boys had their last competition. As the last-place team, they drew the unfortunate spot of playing against the first-place team—the tall, undefeated first-place team.
The game went pretty much as expected, and near the middle of the fourth quarter Kevin's team stood nearly 30 points behind. At that point, one of Kevin's teammates called a timeout. As he came to the side of the court, Randy couldn't imagine why the timeout had been called. “Coach,”said the boy, “I know that Kevin has never made a basket. But this is our last game and I think we should let Kevin make a basket to achieve his dream.” With the game completely out of reach, the idea seemed reasonable, so plans were made.
注意:续写词数应为150个左右。
Every time Kevin's team had the ball, Kevin was to stand on his special spot near the free-throw line and they would give him the ball.
Kevin missed every chance with this pattern continuing a few more times, and the spectators(观众) finally figured out what was happening.

长难句
原句 And despite the challenges international travel presents, the best friends say they finished their trip without any arguments.

Ⅳ.◎语篇解读 本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了几种有效避免冲突的方法。
1.G 根据上文可知,要有足够的合理性和灵活性,尽量避免冲突,与他人和平相处。由此可推断,G项“争吵要么会结束你们的友谊,要么会在某种程度上影响你们的关系”承接上文,介绍上文的做法的理由。故选G。
2.E 根据上文可知,有时人们会因为自己热心提供帮助而陷入冲突的中心,坦率地说,这是非常不明智的,因为它会使你成为冲突的主角;根据下文可知,你应该关注自己的生活问题。由此可推断,E项“让别人在你不出现的情况下解决他们的问题”承上启下。故选E。
3.F 由本段小标题可知本段内容与善良有关;根据下文可知,生活充满了冲突和分歧,这就是为什么你应该找到更保守的方法来处理它们,如善良不会增强冲突。由此可推断,F项“当有人把你逼到极限时,要努力善待这个人”说明了要善良,友好待人,和小标题以及下文吻合。故选F。
4.B 根据上文可知,调解人倾向于在没有不良情绪的情况下与人合作,不良情绪通常会导致争吵甚至冲突。由此可推断,B项“不战而胜是最伟大的胜利”说明不和人争论就是胜利,承接上文,且与下文中的This saying相呼应。故选B。
5.A 根据最后一段可知,当冲突愈演愈烈而你又无法控制自己时,你应该选择用另一种方式来处理这种情况,无论如何,试着让自己远离压力,与对手保持一定距离是有帮助的,你应该暂时离开这种情况。由此可推断,此处的建议是“离开”。故选A。
【高频词汇】 1.flexible adj.灵活的 2.conflict n.冲突
3.argue v.争论 4.due to由于 5.figure n.人物;数字;身材;图形 6.focus on集中于,关注 7.cooperate v.合作 8.lead to导致 9.handle v.处理,应付
长难句
原句 Life is full of conflicts and disagreements, and that's why you should find more conservative ways of dealing with them.
分析 本句是一个并列复合句。第二个and连接并列分句;why引导表语从句。
译文 生活充满了冲突和分歧,那就是为什么你应该找到更保守的方法来处理它们。

Para. 2 Kevin missed every chance with this pattern continuing a few more times, and the spectators(观众) finally figured out what was happening. ①观众做了什么 ②Kevin投进球了吗 ③Kevin感受如何
One possible version:
Every time Kevin's team had the ball, Kevin was to stand on his special spot near the free-throw line and they would give him the ball. Kevin skipped extra high as he went onto the court. His first shot bounced around but missed. The player from the other team swiped the ball and took it down to the other end scoring two more points. At that moment, clear tension and unease appeared on his face. But quickly he adjusted his mindset and got back into the game. As soon as Kevin's team had the ball again, they passed it to Kevin who stood on his spot. But he missed again.
Kevin missed every chance with this pattern continuing a few more times, and the spectators(观众) finally figured out what was happening. Little by little people started to stand up and clap their hands. The whole gymnasium thundered with the sound of clapping, hollers and chants of “Kevin! Kevin!” The whole world was stopped, waiting for Kevin. Finally, after an infinite number of tries, the ball took one miraculous bounce and went in. Kevin's arms shot high into the air and he shouted, “I won! I won!” The clock ticked away the last few seconds and the first-place team remained undefeated. But on that evening, everyone left the game truly feeling like a winner.
