A

“Don’t worry! Lots of?kids have moved here and made new friends,” my new teacher told me. “Oh, and don’t be concerned about your braces (矫正器). Almost everyone has them here.”

Even my new teacher thought I was a nerd (弱者), and he hadn’t even known me for five minutes. If my teacher thought that, I couldn’t imagine what the rest of class were going to think.

I wondered what kind of speech he gave them about me, “The new girl.” He probably made it sound like I was a nerd whose dad just died and everyone should be nice to me.

I wish I was back with my friends at my old school, where everyone knew me.

The bell rang, and the class poured in. Maybe if I didn’t move, they wouldn’t see me. Oh, well, it was a nice try. Everyone looked at me as if I were some kind of alien (外星人).

At that moment, a beautiful girl walked in and said with a sweet smile, “Hi, my name is Alicia.”

“Um, I’m Annie,” I said.

She made a face and said, “Hi, Annie. You can sit with us at lunch today if you want.”

“Maybe this new school wouldn’t be so bad after all,” I thought.

Reasons why people like travelling are various. They all have their own reasons. They believe that travelling can help them expand their field of view，especially in the geographical and historical sense. They also think that touring will give them more chances to enjoy different kinds of food and experience new things that would never be brought by other activities. But those who dislike travelling also have some reasons.

Travelling，in my opinion，does more good than harm. Most importantly，it broadens (使扩大) our mind. We can get in touch with other civilizations(文明)，cultures，customs and ideas.

Through history，most people travelled because of necessity—not for pleasure. People travelled just in order to remain alive. They searched for food to eat or places to live in. They sometimes ran away from enemies. This is not to say that no one ever travelled just for the fun of it. In ancient times，for example，rich Romans travelled all the way to Greece to take part in the Olympic Games，and festivals. Of course，some people decided to travel just out of curiosity(好奇心)．They wanted to find out what it looked like beyond the horizon(地平线)．Also business travel has been going on for centuries. Traders could not only make money but also learn to speak several languages and be introduced to different cultures.

So，travelling does enrich our mind and draw new ideas to us. There is no doubt that we can get much from it.

28．The underlined word “expand” in Paragraph 1 can be replaced by“________”．

A．widen B．protect C．lose B．decide

A．for fun B．for knowledge C．to get experiences B．to make a living

30．The best title of the passage maybe_________.

A．Different kinds of travelling. B．Travelling enriches our mind.

C．Ways to enjoy yourself while travelling. D．The advantages and disadvantages of travelling.

One day, my parents went for a party and my brother and I were alone in our apartment. We were watching television. Suddenly the doorbell rang. 31 .

He opened the door and outside stood a tall man. He said that he was a salesman and asked politely if our mother or father was at home. 32 He asked if we would like to buy some storybooks and I quickly refused.

I was about to close the door when he forced his way into our house. He took out a knife and forced me to tie up my brother’s hands with some rope (绳子) which he took out from his pocket. I tied up his hands but I tied it in a special way so my brother could untie himself. 33

Soon, he went upstairs to search the bedroom for money. I managed to teach my brother to untie the rope on his hands. He then untied me. I rushed to the telephone to call the police, but the line was dead. The doors were all locked fro
