27、For most of my adult life, I’ve felt slightly ashamed —not of something I’ve done, but of something I haven’t. Although I’m an independent person who has been to numerous countries, I’ve never gone on an overseas holiday alone. I’ve traveled with my parents, partners, kids and other families. I’ve travelled with my pet and joined tours where I knew no one but came out with lifelong friends.

But for a while, my failure to travel alone felt like a mistake. Solo travel is celebrated. I’ve seen a thousand pieces written by adventurous women who claim to have found themselves by crossing countries alone. Traveling solo makes you capable, they say. It pushes you out of your comfort zone. Every woman should travel alone at least once in her life!

And yet, I’ve never had an urge to do it. For one thing, I need a lot of people contact. A single day without meaningful conversation can leave me feeling depressed. Proper, engaging conversation is difficult when traveling alone. Even if you’re good at chatting with strangers, it isn’t always possible. I don’t want to worry about being alone on my travels. I want support and company during my adventures. I used to see this desire to be with others as some sort of flaw, but now I see it as a valid choice.

Traveling solo builds resilience. But so does life. I am a single parent raising three children while trying to juggle a career. I make endless decisions alone and deal with crises alone. I manage loneliness and fear. I don’t need to travel alone to build resilience. I have resilience in spades, I’m sure travelling overseas would push me further out of comfort zone. But you know what else pushed me out of my comfort zone? Being single in a society that values marriage. Earning a living in a difficult industry. Dating men I’ve met on an app. My life is effortful enough. I don’t need my travels to be effortful too.

Travel is incredibly valuable, no matter what your stage of life. It teaches you how diverse the world is and how to appreciate your culture in relation to another. It stretches your mind and gives you a new viewpoint.

And you don’t need a solo journey to become an independent woman. I assure you that life will get you there in the end.

【1】What does the author feel a bit ashamed of?

A．Her lack of independence.

B．Her failure to travel overseas.

C．Not being adventurous enough.

D．Not having travelled on her own abroad

【2】Why is solo travel applauded by adventurous women?

A．It is both relaxing and empowering.

B．They can better appreciate different cultures.

C．They get to know themselves better.

D．It forces them to face their deepest fear.

【3】What does the author mean by saying “I have resilience in spades” in paragraph 4?

A．She has had enough of resilience.

B．She doesn’t want to travel solo with spades.

C．She doesn’t need solo traveling to build character.

D．She has gone through many difficulties in life to have great resilience.

【4】Which of the following can be the best title for the text?

A．Walking out of comfort zone

B．Solo travel is unnecessary

C．Life is travelling solo

D．Being an independent woman

29、Procrastination (拖延症) is like a credit card. 【1】. So how to stop procrastinating and be more productive? The following ways can help you lower your chances of procrastination. So here we go...

【2】

Plan by making a list of everything you have to do the next day. You will feel an unusual force that will push you to complete the work. This simple step would make your day organized and productive. So, every day write down your plans on paper and paste them on your wall so that you can’t escape them. 【3】, and it should contain the list of activities (which you may procrastinate) with the time you want to begin doing it.

Start from the most important

【4】. We blame everything on the shortage of time. Actually, you will never have enough time to do everything. But you always have enough time to do what is the most important and what truly matters. So, you have to focus only on those important and meaningful things and let everything go.

Remove the distraction (干扰)

Focus your attention on what you do. In other words, you have to do deep work to get the most out of every minute. And it’s only possible if you work in a distraction-free environment. 【5】. So, it would be better if you keep it silent or in flight mode. If you constantly get the urge to check your phone, you can keep it in another room until you complete your work, assuming your work doesn’t involve the phone. Do remember to prepare yourself for deep work by removing all the distractions.

A．Plan in advance

B．Make it look simple

C．It’s a lot of fun until you get the bill

D．The most common distraction is the phone

E．You have no desire to work on that boring project

31、根据课文内容填空。

32、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。

An Unforgivable Mistake

A few years ago, the company I work for sent my wife and me to live in New York for a year. I’ve always loved jogging, so I was really happy when I found the apartment they had rented for us was next to Central Park. This meant that every morning I could go for a run before I went to work.

Because a lot of people had told me to be careful of muggers (行凶抢劫者) in the park, I didn’t usually take anything with me. How could they rob me if I didn’t have anything? But one morning my wife asked me to buy some bread on the way home, so I put a $10 bill in my back pocket.

It was a beautiful morning and the park was quiet with very few people walking or jogging around. While I was running, another jogger bumped (撞) into me. He apologized and continued running. For a while, I didn’t think too much of it. However, when I noticed the wide path where I was running, I thought it was kind of strange. The warning of muggers in the park occurred to me. It could have been a mugger! I suddenly became alarmed, so I checked my pocket. The money was missing! I immediately started to run after the jogger. I finally caught up with and grabbed him firmly by the arm. I started shouting and demanding that he give me the $10 bill. I’m not usually a hot-headed person, but I really lost my temper at that moment. I couldn’t believe the robbery was actually happening to me. Filled with anger, I shook my fist at him. This seemed to frighten him. He quickly put his hand in his pocket and gave me the money. Then he ran away as fast as he could.

I bought the bread and went home. As soon as I got home, I couldn’t wait to tell my wife the story. “You won’t believe what happened to me,” I started with pride. She immediately interrupted (插话), “I know, you left the money for the bread on the kitchen table.”

注意：续写词数应为150左右。

Paragraph 1:

Looking at the money on the table, I stood there, shocked.
