Several years ago, when I was teaching my Love Class, we decided to attempt an assignment. We agreed to approach those people in our lives whom we valued and loved and express verbally that we “truly loved and appreciated them.” We found that what appeared on the surface to be a simple, natural thing was rather more difficult than what we had imagined. Most of the students were lovingly tongue-tied. They felt ill at ease, even embarrassed by expressing their love. Several never completed the assignment. When we discussed and shared our experiences we agreed that it was strange indeed that so many found it threatening to communicate love. Though we have learned that unexpressed love is the greatest cause of our sorrow and regrets, we usually wait until people have died to honor them publicly and to express our love for them. 【題組】39.According to the story, which of the statements is true？ (A)Love is the power to compete with others. (B)If we want to succeed, we have to learn how to love other people. (C)It is difficult for most people to express love verbally. (D)Parents usually love their children more than children love their parents.
Tourism today has become rather specialized. In addition to the general tours, which only allow the traveler to
quickly visit one or two heritage sites and do a little shopping on the side, innovative travel agencies offer a number of
itineraries for people with special interests. For modern-day religious pilgrims, trips are arranged to Jerusalem and
Mecca. For people who are interested in nature, ocean liners retrace the voyages taken by the naturalist Charles Darwin.
Nature lovers can also take ecological tours that teach how to distinguish the plant and insect life in preserved wetlands.
One of the newer types of tourism is called dark tourism, which includes tours to cemeteries and prisons. The traveler can
visit the tombs of famous people at a cemetery in Paris or visit prisons where well-known political prisoners or hardened
criminals were imprisoned. For people who take such specialized tours, learning something is more important than just
being able to say, “I’ve been there.” 【題組】50. From the paragraph we may assume that the writer most likely prefers________ tours.
