I guess having a son who could become a race car driver was the next best thing.Don"t get me
wrong-Dad didn"t push me into racing.In fact, when I was about 10 years old, my dad was afraid that
driving a car wasn"t my dream.So he took the racing away from me.I wasn"t very happy with that decision.It wasn"t long before Dad realized that racing was what I loved.
At four, Dad bought me my first Quarter Midget (袖珍赛车) and that"s really where it started for us.
Back then, Dad coached me.He would stick out (伸出) his footin the path of the race car, and then tell
me to exactly hit his foot.By repeating this again and again, Dad believed that I would be faster and
sharper on the race track.
Dad worked really long hours at his car repair business to make money so that I could race each
weekend.I can remember that every night before he turned off the lights in the garage, Dad would tell
me:"Don"t forget to kiss your race car good night." He was trying to teach me that if I show respect, it"s
returned.He wanted me to show thankfulness and respect for my race car and for all the hard work that
we and many others had put into the dream.
My dad, my mom and my sister gave up a lot of things to help me race.For us, there was no better
moment than winning the 50th running of the Daytona 500 in 2008.That evening in February 2008, I
knew I had gotten a good push.I could hear the excitement.My father couldn"t speak a word, and when
he got to Victory Lane (车道), he nearly knocked me over and gave me such a big hug.
B. Because he worried that his son didn"t like racing.
C. Because he didn"t want his son to fail like he did.
D. Because he couldn"t afford the money.
B. working hard to make money
C. buying his son a mini racing car
D. changing his job as a race car driver
B. To help his son to be braver.
C. To have fun with his son.
D. To make his son more careful.
B. treat the race car as a person
C. feel grateful that he could follow his dream
D. develop a close relationship with his race car
B. surprised
C. sad
D. excited

more interesting when you have a travel partner.A travel partner can be a close friend, a family member,
a pal you"ve met online, or a business friend.
You can have someone to talk to
Traveling alone is fun, but wouldn"t you feel lonely?Having a travel partner can remove the feeling of
loneliness.This is especially true if you can get a travel companion who is very familiar with the place
you"re traveling to.You don"t have to ask any information from the locals, and you can increase the time
you spend in the country.
____________________
One of the major headaches in traveling is the costs involved.You can"t simply ignore the rising price
of hotels or plane tickets.You should also think about your daily needs, such as your food.Of course, you
can"t simply
go back without bringing any souvenirs (纪念品) to your friends and family.All these can ruin your budget.However, when you have a travel friend, you can have someone to share the expenses with.You can meet a good friend
Having a travel mate is a good way of meeting a new friend or even a lifelong partner.You can never
count the number of couples who actually found their way into each other"s heart while traveling together
in another country.
You can have someone to watch out for you
When you"re in a foreign land, you"ll never be really safe.You don"t know the rules as well as the
culture of the people.A travel mate will be perfect to remind you of your duties in the country and to
watch your back just in case you get lost.So why don"t you find a travel companion now?
Let"s find out how ...
B. To encourage us to have a travel partner.
C. To explain how to be a perfect travel partner.
D. To tell an interesting experience with a travel partner.
B. You can know the local culture well.

field of view, especially in the geographical and historical sense.They also think that touring will give them
more chances to enjoy different kinds of food and experience new things that would never be brought
by other activities.But those who dislike travelling also have some reasons.
Travelling, in my opinion, does more good than harm.Most importantly, it broadens (使扩大) our
mind.We can get in touch with other civilizations (文明), cultures, customs and ideas.
Through history, most people travelled because of necessity (必要性)-not for pleasure.People
travelled just in order to remain alive.They searched for food to eat or places to live in.They sometimes
ran away from enemies.This is not to say that no one ever travelled just for the fun of it.In ancient times,
for example, rich Romans travelled all the way to Greece to take part in the Olympic Games, and
festivals.Of course, some people decided to travel just out of curiosity (好奇心). They wanted to find
out what it looked like beyond the horizon (地平线). Also business travel has been going on for
centuries.Traders could not only make money but also learn to speak several languages and be
introduced to different cultures.
So, travelling does enrich our mind and draw new ideas to us.There is no doubt that we can get much
from it.
B. protect
C. lose
D. decide
B. for knowledge
C. to get experiences
D. to make a living
B. Four.
C. Five.
D. Six.
B. funny
C. helpful
D. tiring
B. Travelling enriches our mind.

D. The advantages and disadvantages of travelling.
lonely and cold.If you try to make some new friends there, your life will be more enjoyable.Don"t worry if
you are a shy person as the steps below will help you do this.
In every place that you visit, try to introduce yourself to people.If you are on a bus, try to talk to the
other passengers.If you are in a school, introduce yourself to your classmates, and even if you are in a
bookstore and you happen to meet someone, introduce yourself.The_more_people_you_introduce
_yourself_to, the_more_chances_you_have_of_gaining_new_friends.
It"s good to hear your own name called by others.That"s the greatest sound a person could ever hear.
If you can call out their names when you meet them the second time, this will leave them a deep
impression.If you think you have a problem remembering names, here is a tip.When they have said their
names, use them immediately in a conversation.Say their names at least three times in your conversations.
You will remember their names that way.
It"s important that what you are talking about interest both of you.Talking about them will surely be a
great topic for your conversation.Everyone wants to be the subject of a conversation.
Making eye contact with them will show that you are serious about them.If your eyes are drifting
throughout your conversation, they"ll feel you are not interested in them.So____________with them from
time to time during the conversation.
These steps are just the basic things that you can do.You can think of many other ways to gain new
friends and remember to have fun while doing it.

light,or if he was the seventh person in line at the bank,and the teller (出纳员) ended her job just before
he got there.Joe always smiled.It made me wonder why he always seemed so happy.
Having observed Joe with other people,I noticed something else too.Joe asked people how they were doing,and really seemed to listen to their answers.He showed pity tosomeone who was hurting,and had
kind words,and offered to help in any way he could.
It made me think.What if I tried to smile more?An experiment began when I went to the supermarket.
I smiled as I went up and down the supermarket and people I didn"t even know smiled back at me.Some
even spoke!The little kid in the cart who was giving his mother a hard time saw me smile；he stopped
talking and then made a shy attempt at a smile.The man in the cart for the disabled needed help to reach
for something,and I got it for him.The smile even transferred (转移) over to him,and he thanked me.
As I drove home,I was smiling.Now I know a smile is a small thing,but what if we all tried to smile a
few more times each day?I couldn"t believe how great I felt.Nothing in my life had changed,but maybe it
had.What I had learned was that such a small thing could lift not only my spirits,but also the spirits of those around me.So smile!

a friend who lives in a different country.
When planning to get together with friends,Julian said,"If I want to go and see a movie with a few
friends,I usually send them text messages.By telephone,you have to call every single friend one by one.
But text messaging allows you to send the same message to as many people as you"d like,which saves
a lot of time."
Email,IM,and other lowcost methods of communication also help people keep longdistance friendships
in ways they couldn"t have even a few years ago.
Mike told us,"I had this friend when I was 8 or 9,and then she moved away to the country.We
promised to stay friends and to send letters,and at the start we did.Then the letters got fewer and fewer
and we at last stopped writing to each other.I think if we had had email,we would still be in touch."
James found out about cost the hard way.He said,"I called my friend in New Zealand,which is
halfway around the world,and it cost me over $200!So now I just stay up late to see if I can catch him
on MSN or I write an email."
Email,IM,and other lowcost ways of keeping in touch also allow people to develop brief
acquaintances (与人相识) into longlasting friendships.Andrea told us,"I met this really cool girl.We
sometimes email each other.We"ve been in touch over half a year and it"s nice to talk to her."
