Passage 1

There are many reasons why I encourage people to travel, and I know that the experience will make one a better person.

I remember when I was traveling, I began to know the world better. The world is not just about me, my small town and home. Although you will meet different people from all over the world, you will realize that people are similar in their dreams, hopes and feelings. Enjoy exploring (探索) the different culture, and you will also find that people are different in some of the things they do and how they live. Once you understand their ways, it will not be strange or scary (吓人的). Often we read stories about other cultures in books. Only when we visit their areas, do we find that those stories are something wrong.

One thing you may find out is that there are problems all over the world. We can’t just get money to send to these areas and hope that will work them out. The world should get involved (干预) and help wherever there are problems. People everywhere should be given a chance. It’s so easy to ignore (忽视) this if one does not travel or explore. One can look around and see that so many people have many challenges (挑战) worse than ours. One can realize that sometimes our biggest problems are not that big after all.

On your journey you will meet lots of new friends. Talking to strangers and finding about their lives is a great way to spend your time. You will certainly be more confident after having to deal with problems and make many decisions along the way.

When you travel, you have to be on your own in some situations. You will surprise yourself by how well you can do that. All your special experiences could make an interesting book to read. It would be filled with your special memories.

Traveling around and seeing so much happening in the world around us is a wonderful experience. If we could all just travel a little more and share our experiences, we would all be better people and the world would be a better place.

Passage 2

I walked into a stranger as he passed by me.

“Excuse me.” I said.

He replied with a smile and said, “Please excuse me, too. I didn’t notice you.”

We apologized (道歉) and went for our own ways.

Later that day, when I was cooking, my daughter was standing too near. When I turned to search for some milk, I nearly knocked her over. “Move out of the way!” I shouted.

She walked away sadly. But I didn’t feel like I had to apologize to her.

While I was in bed that evening, my husband said to me. “While dealing with a stranger, you were polite. But with a daughter you love, you were unkind. Your daughter brought you some flowers that she picked herself this afternoon. You will find them in the kitchen by the door. Have you seen the tears in her eyes?”

I quietly went and sat down by my daughter’s bed.

“Honey, I am so sorry.” I said. “Are these the flowers you picked for me?”

She said, “I found them by the tree. I picked them because they’re pretty like you. I knew you’d like them, especially the blue ones.”

I tearfully replied, “Sweetie, I’m really sorry for the way I acted today. I shouldn’t have shouted at you.”

Passage 3

     People in different countries speak different languages. But is there a language that can be understood by everyone in the world? If there is, the answer might be EMOJIS (表情符号).

    Emojis are a kind of special language. Pictures are used to put meaning across. A group called the Unicode Consortium works on choosing emojis. It has added new emojis every year since 2014. They show what people think about and like.

    Emojis can be used to represent(代表) different groups of people. In 2015, emoji faces with different skin tones (肤色) were added. In 2016, different jobs were added , such as doctor, police officer and painter. This year, emojis of disabled people were added including emojis of blind people and people in wheelchairs.

    But there is also more to emojis. They can also refer to (指的是) pop culture and new cultural trends (潮流).

    New emojis in 2019 also include several animals, such as sloths (树懒) and flamingos (火烈鸟). These animals are not very common, but are known to many people. For example, sloths have become popular because of the 2016 film Zootopia (《疯狂动物城》). Many fashion designers (设计师) have included flamingos in their designs in recent years. This animal makes people feel like they’re on a vacation.

    It seems that emojis are a mirror of the world we live in. It will be interesting to see how they change and grow in the years to come.
