Now many young people are travelling around the world on their own not because they have no one to travel with, but because they prefer to go alone.
Kristina Wegscheider from California first travelled alone when she was at college. “It is something everyone should do at least once in their life. It opens up your mind to new things and pushes you out of your comfort zone.” Wegscheider has visited 46 countries covering all seven continents (洲).
In foreign countries, with no one to help you read a map, look after you if you get ill, or lend you money if your wallet is stolen, it is challenging. This is what drives young people to travel alone. It is seen as character building and a chance to prove that they can make it on their own.
Chris Richardson decided to leave his sales job in Australia to go travelling several years ago. He set up a website to write down his adventures. He wished he had travelled alone earlier. “The people you meet, the places you visit, or the things you do, everything is up to you and it forces you to grow as a person,” said Chris.
Richardson describes travelling alone like “a shot in the arm”, which “makes you a more confident person that is ready to deal with anything”. He said, “The feeling of having conquered (战胜) something on my own is a major part of what drives me each day when I’m dealing with a difficult task. I walk around with my head up because I know deep down inside that nothing is impossible if you try.”
The great 19th-century explorer John Muir once said, “Only by going alone in silence, without baggage, can one truly get into the heart of the wilderness.”
( ) 34. What does Kristina Wegscheider mean according to her words?
A. Travelling alone is a necessary experience for everyone.
B. College students must travel alone before they grow up.
C. It is very exciting to travel around without any help.

A. Chris Richardson came from Australia and he started travelling alone when he was a child.

C. John Muir was a great 19th-century explorer and he used to travel alone for pleasure.
D. Kristina Wegscheider sets up a website and writes down her adventures to encourage others.

Singapore is a small country located in South East Asia. The place belonged to several different kingdoms in history until a man called Sir Thomas Stamford Raffles came to the island in 1819. He encouraged business and financial investment in Singapore, and it gradually became a wealthy country today. It is known as the Lion City.
Singapore is famous for its lively shopping and restaurant culture. Orchard Road is the central shopping and restaurant district in the capital city, where you can buy a variety of jewellery, fashionable clothes and electronic goods.
Apart from busy city life, there are many chances in Singapore to explore the natural world. Singapore Zoo has over 300 species of animals from all over the world. It is a unique zoo because it keeps its animals in large enclosures (围栏) separated from the public by small streams rather than in cages. We can find many rare species at the zoo including the endangered White Rhino and White Tiger.
There are some smaller islands in Singapore, including Publau Ubin and St John’s Island. The most famous of these islands is Sentosa Island, which has many sandy beaches where you can do many kinds of water sports, such as jet skiing and diving.
