When we want to tell other people what we think, we can do it with the help of words. We can also do it in many other ways, too. Sometimes we move our heads up and down when we want to say “yes”, and we shake our heads when we want to say “no ”. Some people can’t hear or speak. They talk with the help of gestures（手势）. People from other countries often have to do it if they don’t know your language. Here is a story. An American was once having his holiday in Italy, but he could not speak Italian. One day he went to a restaurant and sat down at a table. When the waiter came, the American opened his mouth, put his fingers in it and took them out again. In this way he wanted to say “Bring me something to eat”. The waiter soon brought him a cup of tea. The American shook his head and the waiter understood that he didn’t want tea. So he took it away and brought him a glass of milk. The American shook his head again. He was very hungry now and looked sad. He was just going to leave the restaurant when another man came in. When this man saw the waiter, he put his hands on his stomach(胃). In a few minutes there was a large plate of bread and meat on the table in front of him. 1.Sometimes people move their heads when they want to say “yes”. A. right and left B. fast and slow C. hard and easy D. up and down 2.If people want to say , they may shake their heads.

To see the world is one thing；to have someone to share it with is another. Indeed，travel becomes more interesting when you have a travel partner. A travel partner can be a close friend，a family member，a pal you’ve met online，or a business friend. You can have someone to talk to. Traveling alone is fun，but wouldn’t you feel lonely？Having a travel partner can remove the feeling of loneliness. This is especially true if you can get a travel companion who is very familiar with the place you’re traveling to. You don’t have to ask any information from the locals，and you can increase the time you spend in the country. __________________________ One of the major headaches in traveling is the costs involved. You can’t simply ignore the rising price of hotels or plane tickets. You should also think about your daily needs，such as your food. Of course，you can’t simply go back without bringing any souvenirs (纪念品) to your friends and family. All these can ruin your budget. However，when you have a travel friend，you can have someone to share the expenses with. You can meet a good friend. Having a travel mate is a good way of meeting a new friend or even a lifelong partner. You can never count the number of couples who actually found their way into each other’s heart while traveling together in another country. You can have someone to watch out for you. When you’re in a foreign land，you’ll never be really safe. You don’t know the rules as well as the culture of the people. A travel mate will be perfect to remind you of your duties in the country and to watch your back just in case you get lost.So why don’t you find a travel companion now? Let’s find out how ... 1.What’s the author’s purpose in writing this passage? A. To introduce a travel company. B. To encourage us to have a travel partner. C.
