Cathryn had a dog but five days before Christmas, something bad happened when Cathryn took Waffle, a six-month-old
dog, out for a walk in St Austell. Cathryn said she was followed by a man holding what she believed to be a knife. The man was
wearing a black jacket and scarf, and he spoke with a foreign accent (口音). So she sent her husband a message
on the phone. Minutes later, when she looked up from her smartphone, Waffle was gone. So was the man.
For this case, officer Steve White from Devon and Cornwall Police said, “The family is really worried. All of
the officers at the police station dealing with this crime also feel very sad for the family over what is a cruel (残

Besides turning to the police, Cathryn also asked for help online but no good news came. What was worse, Cathryn
received a message saying her dog would be killed unless she paid 1,000 pounds. Later, it turned out to be a swindle. “We
received a text from someone saying he wanted 1,000 pounds. The police have caught the person who just wanted to get
some money from me by cheating. He didn’t see Waffle... Other people support us online. They understand our feeling. This
Christmas is difficult as I’ve got a five-year-old grandson and he loves Waffle. We haven’t told him exactly what happened to
Waffle yet,” said Cathryn.

Now many young people are traveling around the world on their own, not because they have no one to travel with, but
because they prefer to go alone.
Kristina Wegscheider from California first traveled alone when she was at college. She believes that it is something
everyone should do at least once in their life. “It opens up your mind to new things.” Wegscheider has visited 46 countries.
In foreign countries, . There is no one to help you read a map, look after you if you get ill, or lend you money if
your wallet is stolen. This is what makes young people travel alone. It is seen as character building and a chance to prove (证
明) that they can make it on their own.
Chris Richardson decided to leave his sales job in Australia to go traveling last year. He said he wished he had traveled
alone earlier. “Everything is up to you and it forces you to grow as a man,” said the 30-year-old man.
Richardson set up a website, “The Aussie Nomad”, to record the people he met, the places he visited, and
the things he did. He describes traveling alone like “a shot in the arm”. “The feeling of having overcome (克
服) something on my own is a major (主要的) part of what drives me each day when I’m dealing with a difficult work. It
makes me a more confident person that is ready to deal with anything. I walk around with my head up because I know deep
down inside that nothing is impossible if I try,” he said.
The great 19th century explorer (探险者) John Muir once said, “Only by going alone in silence can one truly
get into the heart of the wilderness.”
( )51. Which of the following will Kristina Wegscheider agree with?
A. Traveling alone is a necessary experience for everyone.
B. It is more meaningful to travel to foreign countries.
C. It is comfortable to travel around without a friend.
D. Traveling abroad helps people to find new things.

A. He started traveling alone at an early age.
B. He was once shot in the arm.
C. He used to work as a salesman.
D. He is humorous and brave.

One possible version:
Dear Michael,
I’m sorry to hear that you are having difficulty getting used to life in middle school. In your letter you said that you always felt
lonely because of having few friends. It is time to join some clubs in the school. You can make more friends who share the
same interest with you by doing this. What’s more, you should always be friendly to others.
On the other hand, you find it difficult to remember English words. You can memorize English words well by reading more
English stories and news. It’s a practical way, isn’t it? Also, if you keep an English diary every day, it’ll be easier for you to
remember more words.
I hope you’ll find my advice useful. Good luck with everything!
