There are a number of languages spoken throughout the world.Every person knows at least one language，which he learns in his childhood and is routinely used for speaking and writing.However，many people are fond of learning two or more languages，so they try to be bilingual，which means that they try to have the knowledge of two or more languages.And being bilingual can bring a person a number of benefits in various aspects.For example：

A person can get cognitive (认知的) benefits from it.The bilingual people have two or more words for each idea and object.Therefore，a bilingual person can develop a creative thinking.The bilinguals know which language should be spoken with which person in a particular situation.So they are more sensitive  (敏感的) to the needs of the listener than the people who only use one language：Being bilingual also improves and enriches a person’s mental development.

Being bilingual has a positive effect on a person’s character.The bilinguals are able to switch between different languages and talk to different people in various languages.It increases a sense of self­esteem (自尊)．Being bilingual creates a powerful link in different people from different countries.

A bilingual education offers better curriculum (课程) results.The bilinguals tend to show a higher performance in examinations and tests.The bilinguals find it quite easy to learn and speak three，four or more languages.

Being bilingual offers potential employment benefits.It offers a wider choice of jobs in various fields.The bilinguals can get a great many career opportunities in transport，tourism，public relations，marketing and sales，banking，translation，law，teaching and so on.

So it can be concluded from the above that we should try our best to learn and master two or more languages.

People who like travelling have their 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 (必要性)—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.

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

A．for fun                                              B．for knowledge

70．What’s the main idea of this passage?

A．Different kinds of travelling.

B．Travelling enriches our mind.

C．Ways to enjoy yourself while travelling.

D．The advantages and disadvantages of travelling.

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 ...

My dad，Greg Newman，had wanted to be a race  car driver，but things didn’t work out for him.So I guess having a son who could become a race car driver was the next best thing.Don’t get me wrong—Dad didn’t push me into racing.In fact，when I was about 10 years old，my dad was afraid that driving a car wasn’t my dream.So he took the racing away from me.I wasn’t very happy with that decision.It wasn’t long before Dad realized that racing was what I loved.

At four，Dad bought me my first Quarter Midget (袖珍赛车)  and that’s really where it started for us.Back then，Dad coached me.He would stick out (伸出) his foot in the path of the race car，and then tell me to exactly hit his foot.By repeating this again and again，Dad believed that I would be faster and sharper on the race track.

Dad worked really long hours at his car repair business to make money so that I could race each weekend.I can remember that every night before he turned off the lights in the garage，Dad would tell me：“Don’t forget to kiss your race car good night.” He was trying to teach me that if I show respect，it’s returned.He wanted me to show thankfulness and respect for my race car and for all the hard work that we and many others had put into the dream.

My dad，my mom and my sister gave up a lot of things to help me race.For us，there was no better moment than winning the 50th running of the Daytona 500 in 2008.That evening in February 2008，I knew I had gotten a good push.I could hear the excitement.My father couldn’t speak a word，and when he got to  Victory Lane (车道)，he nearly knocked me over and  gave me such a big hug.
