When failing to get a travel companion, some would rather give up or put off their travel plans than travel by themselves.
They worry about safety, having no one to talk to, and more expensive accommodations. Indeed, there are potential risks
as well as some minor problems when you travel alone. However, the advantages definitely outweigh the downsides.
One of the best reasons for solo travel is that you are absolutely free when making any decision. You can do what you
want to do, travel at your own pace, and change your plans without asking anyone. You don’t have to wait for your
companion or spend time negotiating where to eat or what time to get up. If you want to stay in bed a little longer, you
won’t feel guilty or annoyed just because your partner has been ready and waiting for you. Furthermore, solo travel is a
chance for you to listen to your inner voice, to learn to make a decision and to build up your own confidence. Exploring
a place leads you to explore yourself at the same time. Without anyone to rely on, you have to be independent and deal
with any challenge. Another thrill of solo travel is to meet new people. It’s easy to meet people on buses and trains and
in cafes. Exposure to locals enables you to know more about local cultures.
If safety concerns still halt you from packing up and setting off, follow the tips below to have a safe trip. First, don’t
look like a tourist. Avoid walking around and reading your guidebook at the same time. Always check your maps before
leaving your hotel. Second, you have to tell a lie when you have to. Sometimes it is better not to tell others you are
traveling alone: “Excuse me, can you direct me to the train station? I have to meet my friend.” There are also times when
you have to say “No.” Solo travelers, especially women, tend to draw intense attention in some hospitable cultures.
Therefore, it will be wise of you to learn to say “No, thank you” in the local language. With these tips in mind, solo travel
can be a joyful and even life-changing experience. 【題組】49 Which is the writer’s advice for single travelers?
(A) Pretending not to be a tourist. (B) Finding a partner.
(C) Checking the maps while walking around. (D) Staying in camps.
Many processes within our bodies are timed to a cycle of about twenty-four hours. If the body temperature is taken every hour or so throughout the day or night, each person is found to have a certain pattern. The temperature rises and falls about two degrees every twenty-four hours. Some people’s temperatures rise very rapidly after awakening and then begin to fall in the afternoon and evening. For others their temperatures rise very slowly at first, reach a peak in the late afternoon or evening, and do not begin to drop until quite late in the day. In all cases, a person’s temperature is at its lowest during the time of sleep. People tend to feel most wide-awake and can work best at the high point of their temperature. You may have noticed that some people jump out of bed bright and early and are cheerful and active during the early part of the day, then grow tired in the evening and go to bed quite early. Others find it difficult to get up in the morning and do not seem able to get going very well until afternoon; during the evening, they are wide-awake and hate to go to bed. People can usually adjust to a different schedule if necessary, but it seems to be more difficult for some people than for others. 【題組】48 Which of the following statements is true? (A)When people are sleeping, their body temperature does not change. (B)A person’s body temperature is at its lowest point in the middle of the day. (C)Some people are more active in the morning and others are more energetic in the evening. (D)It is always easy to change a person’s schedule because our body temperature follows a certain pattern.
