Future history books might record that we were robbed of the use of our eyes. In our hurry to get from one place to another, we fail to see anything on the way, Air travel gives you a bird’s eye view of the world ---or even less if the wing of the aircraft happens to get in your way. When you travel by car or train, you are moving so quickly that you do not see the countryside clearly. Car drivers are forever thinking about going on and on. They never want to stop. Is it the great motorways that attract them, or what? And as for sea travel, it hardly deserves mentioning. It is perfectly summed up in the words of the old song: “I joined the navy to see the world, and what did I see? I saw the sea.” You mention the place names in the world like EI Dorado, Kabul and someone is sure to say, “I have been there”, meaning I drove through it at 100 miles an hour on the way to somewhere else.

When you travel at high speeds, the present means nothing: you live mainly in the future because you spend most of your time looking forward to arriving at some other place. But actual arrival, when it is achieved, is meaningless. You want to move on again. By traveling like this, you suspend (中止) all experience; the present stops being a reality: you might just as well be dead.

The traveler on foot, on the other hand, lives constantly in the present. For him traveling and arriving are one and the same thing: he arrives somewhere with every step he makes. H e experiences, the present moment with his eyes, his ears and the whole of his body. At the end of his journey he feels a delicious physical tiredness. Satisfying sleep will be his: the just reward of all true travelers.

1.The underlined words “get in your way” in Paragraph I can be replaced, by ____.

A. block your sights

B. expand your range of vision

C. prevent you from going out of the plane halfway

D. make your travel continue

2.What does the author think of the travelers mentioned in Paragraph 1?

A. They get a good view of the landscape.

B. They make full use of their eyes.

C. They fail to see the scenery with their heart.

D. The y are eager to see everything on the way.

3.Why does “the present”mean “nothing ”when we travel at high speeds?

A. Because we change our aims all the time.

B. Because we are eager to go to another place.

C. Because we are looking forward to the future life.

D. Because we cannot enjoy the experience we have had.

4.What would be the best title for the passage?

A. Different travelers B. The use of eyes

C. Ways of traveling D. True traveling

When I was in college, I spent a semester studying abroad at the University of Strathclyde in Glasgow, Scotland. In my brief time there, I came to love Scotland for its local culture, food and scenery.

You might think, “Scotland isn’t so different from the US; they still speak English there!” But when I stepped off the plane, I was greeted by a gruff-voiced(聲音粗啞的) lady at customs. “You’ll be coming from America, then?” She asked me, and I nodded. “But all of our guys are leaving Glasgow for the States!” Her thick Scottish English and sense of humor were obvious right away. I was not in the US any more, where customs agents never joke around.

As I settled in at the university, I could feel myself getting used to hearing—and even speaking—the Scottish English of my customs agent. In classroom discussions, people would say “em” when they couldn’t think of what to say instead of “um”, which was great fun. After the first few weeks, I stopped chuckling about this. Strathclyde students stayed up late into the night, running around campus and shouting, “Go! Let’s go, let’s go, let’s go [curse word] Glasgow!” Pretty soon, I was no longer saying “thanks” at the supermarket—instead, I said “cheers”.

My Scottish friends drank whiskey and ate haggis(羊雜碎布丁). I drank plenty of whiskey but felt ashamed to admit that I wasn't brave enough to try haggis. Scottish bakeries usually sell bridies (肉餡餅). Add a cup of tea—though I usually Americanized it by choosing coffee instead—and a bridie makes for a delicious breakfast.

Every time I took a train anywhere in Scotland, I’d gaze out at the rolling hills and wonder if grass was greener than anywhere else in the world. Then I’d reflect that there’s a reason this country was the birthplace of golf.

1.What did the author think of the lady at customs?

A. Impolite. B. Friendly.

C. Serious. D. Calm.

2.Which of the following can replace the underlined word “chuckling” in Paragraph 3?

A. Talking loudly. B. Comparing.

C. Laughing quietly. D. Hearing.

3.What is the author’s purpose in writing the text?

A. To explain why Scotland was famous for golf.

B. To promote the development of Scottish catering trade.

C. To introduce different pronunciations of “em”and “um”.

D. To share his experiences in Scotland as an exchange student.
