As a child, I was truly afraid of the dark and of getting lost; these fears(恐惧) were very real and caused me some uncomfortable moments.
Maybe it was the strange 36 things looked and sounded in my familiar room at night that 37 me so much. There was never total 38 , but a streetlight or passing car lights 39 clothes hung over a chair take on the 40 of a wild animal. Out of the corner of my 41 , I saw the curtains seem to move when there was no 42 . A tiny sound in the floor would seem a hundred times louder than in the daylight. My 43 would run wild, and my heart would beat fast. I would 44 very still so that the “enemy” would not discover me.
Another of my childhood fears was that I would get lost, 45 on the way home from school. Every morning I got on the school bus right near my home ? that was no 46 . After school, 47 , when all the buses were 48 up along the street, I was afraid that I’d get on the wrong one and be taken to some 49 neighborhood. On school or family trips to a park or a museum, I wouldn’t let the leaders out of my 50 .
Perhaps one of the worst fears 51 all I had as a child was that of not being liked or 52 by others. Being popular was so important to me 53 , and the fear of not being liked was a 54 one.
One of the processes(过程) of growing up is being able to recognize and overcome(克服) our 55 . Understanding the things that frightened us as children helps us achieve greater success later in life.

Dear Celine,
I’m writing to tell you about my plans for the Christmas holiday. My family is planning to go toJapanfor two weeks this winter. First, we’re going to spend a few days inTokyo.Tokyois the capital ofJapan. Then we’re going skiing inHokkaido. This is an island to the north ofJapan.
I’m very excited about the trip. I’ve neither been toJapannor skiied before, and I have never seen snow! My friend Carol went skiing last year. Unfortunately, she broke her leg. I hope I won’t get hurt! At first, I’m going to ski very slowly because I want to be safe.
We’re going to leaveSingaporeon December 20th.Singaporewill be warm then, but the weather inTokyowill be cold. It will be very cold at night. We’re staying inTokyofor three days before flying toHokkaidoso I will have enough time to buy a new Discman. Of course, it will be very cold inHokkaidoand there will be lots of snow. When we leaveSingapore, we will wear summer clothes. Then a few days later inJapan, we will wear thick jackets and gloves so that we are warm! We’re going to spend Christmas inHokkaidoand the New Year inTokyo. We’re going to come back toTokyoon New Year’s Eve. We will leaveJapanon January 2nd.
I saw a television program aboutTokyorecently. I’m looking forward to our trip because it looks like a very interesting city. In fact, it looks a little likeSingapore, but the buildings inTokyoare much taller. It is just as busy and crowded, though!
Well, that’s all for now. I’ll send you a postcard fromJapan.

The May Day holiday gives Chinese families a good chance to travel and leave behind the daily routine(日常琐事).
When the seven-day vacation was first put in place in 2000, groups of Chinese tourists went to the mountains “to see temples and get off buses to take photos”. However, as Chinese travellers diversified(使多样化) their interests, more and more people decided to travel on their own.
Millions of families with their own cars prefer to travel by car.
Cui Xiaotang, a career(职业) woman, and her two friends left from Beijing Saturday in a car. They did not have a firm destination but drove southwards. “Maybe when there is no road for cars, we will stop and stay one night in a local farmer’s house,” Cui said excitedly about her plan.
Exchanges between north and south and between cities and rural areas are two trends emerging(出现) during the holiday.
Northerners can enjoy the beauty of southern rivers, while southerners can travel to cooler parts of the country.
While millions of travellers made their way toBeijing,ShanghaiandGuangzhou, people there decided to go somewhere else.
A large number of tourists join groups with plans to travel abroad. Every year, those groups go farther and farther away. There are also those, however, who choose to stay where they are.
Sun Bin, a graduate student representing a large number of “stayers”, chose the simplest way to avoid tourist crowds during the holiday. “I’d rather stay in the Beijing Library for the seven days to read National Geographic magazine. I have the whole world in my mind but avoid queuing up in the airport,” he said.
63. More and more people would like to travel on their own, because ______.
A. they have more money
B. they have their own cars
C. they don’t like traveling with strangers
D. they have their own interests
64. The underlined word “stayers” refers to those who ______.
A. choose to stay where they are
B. choose to stay in the library
C. go home during the holiday
D. stay inBeijing,ShanghaiandGuangzhou
65. Which is NOT mentioned in the passage?
A. Some people would like to travel abroad during the May Day holiday.
B. Some people would like to take adventure travel.
C. People with their own cars would like to travel on their own.
D. Some people would like to go to rural areas to have a taste of country lifestyle.
