科目：初中英語(yǔ) 來(lái)源：2014-2015學(xué)年山東濟(jì)南市槐蔭區(qū)九年級(jí)階段性測(cè)試一模英語(yǔ)試卷（解析版） 題型：其他題

Want to travel as cheaply as possible while enjoying as many beautiful places as you like?

Backpacking is the way. As the most popular traveling choice among young western people, backpacking allows you to travel at your own free will. Carrying a tent, a sleeping bag and clothes, backpackers(背包客) also need to pack a spirit that will help them deal with many challenges.

It is exciting to put our ability to test and challenge ourselves with the difficulties we might meet with. So, backpacking is something that almost all young people want to try.

The rich might stay in expensive hotels where everything is provided. But backpackers carry everything in a large bag and depend on themselves to travel through unknown places.

To travel with as little money as possible, they stay in cheap hotels, or in schools and universities, and they even sleep in railway stations, in tents, or under bridges.

Young people in Europe often travel around by train. Now, with plane tickets dropping in price, more are traveling to countries far away. And some just travel within their own countries.

But no matter where a backpacker travels, planning in advance(提前) is important if he or she wants to enjoy the trip.

Clothing

In summer, light, waterproof (防水的) clothes are best. Backpackers must remember to travel lightly and not pack too many clothes.

Medicine

There are many medicines especially for summer, such as those for sunstroke (中暑). Others are useful in every season, such as those for common colds.

Cards

Three types of cards are valuable for backpackers: student Identity Card, personal ID and a credit card.

A student ID card can be helpful for saving money. It often gets train tickets and entrance tickets at cheaper prices in many western countries.

Personal ID cards can not only get you out of trouble with local police, but also prove useful in all kinds of other situations.

Carrying a credit card can be a safer way than carrying money, as cash can easily get lost, stolen or wet.

Travelers in a foreign country must always take care of their passports.

And of course, don’t forget to enjoy your trip!

Is there someone you hate? Well, maybe you don’t really hate them. But you get really angry every time you think of them. If you don’t let this anger(憤怒) go, it can turn into bitterness(痛苦的情緒).

Bitterness often appears when we can’t forgive someone who has hurt us or made us angry. Someone might say or do something that hurts us. But instead of controlling the anger, we keep it deep inside. Before long, a bitter feeling begins to grow. We may think we’re hurting that person by criticizing(批評(píng)) him or her often, but we’re really only hurting ourselves.

Bitterness can not only lead to serious health problems such as heart disease（疾�。�, but also hurt our relationships（關(guān)系）with friends and family members. No one enjoys being around an anger person for very long.

If you see bitterness in your life, here are some ways to deal with it.

◆Accept it

Instead of trying to deny（否認(rèn)）your anger, make it clear to yourself and accept it. See your anger for what it is and quickly deal with it.

◆Stop making excuses for it

You may feel you have a right to be angry. You may think you’re right and the other person is wrong. You may even secretly enjoy making the other person look bad. But in the end, bitterness hurts you much more than the other person. The bitterness will hold you back, and the other person will go on with his or her life.

◆Forgive（原諒）and forget it

You probably can’t completely put the anger out of your mind. But you can decide to forgive the other person. Forgive it and move on. You’ll enjoy better health and peace of mind.

1.When does bitterness appear?

2.What happens after we keep our anger deep inside for some time?

3.How do you try not to deny your anger?

4.Will you enjoy better health and peace of mind if you forgive the other person?

5.Write down one of your favorite ways to deal with bitterness. Why is it your favorite?

I ordered breakfast and a cup of , sitting there, trying to remember who this Tony was. “I know him,” I thought to myself. “He recognizes me for some reason.” I picked up the coffee cup. All of a sudden it came to me like a flash of lightning.
