到其他国家旅游总是一件有趣的事情，特别是对于那些从不旅游的人而言。如果有兴趣提前准备的话，出国旅行就会非常具有教育意义。学习一个新国家的语言对于旅行者而言会很难，但是当他一到那里，这种努力的益处就显而易见了。如果舒适地待在家里，这看起来可能没那么重要，但是对于初到陌生国家的人来说，知道如何订餐或订房间是很必要的。不懂语言的话，初来者是很难理解所到国家的人们及其风俗习惯的。

当然，在我们小小的世界里，经常会找到理解我们自己的人，但是这对于旅行者来说还不是最好的。可以确定的是，旅行者不用语言就能看到名胜和各种事物，但是这些并不是国家的核心所在。为了最大程度获得出国旅游的益处，旅游者理解语言是非常重要的。"

鹰是世界上寿命最长的鸟类，一生的年龄可达70 岁。要活这么长的寿命，在其生命的中期必须做出艰难却重要的决定。

因为鹰活到40 岁的时候，它的长而灵活爪子开始老化，无法有效地抓住猎物；它的长而尖曝变弯，翅膀也越加沉重，由于厚重的老羽毛，翅膀和胸粘在一起，使得飞翔十分吃力。这时，它只有两种选择：一是等待死亡；二是经历150 天痛苦的重整后再生。

选择重整后再生的鹰，要经过一个痛苦更新的过程。它首先要努力地飞到山顶，在悬崖筑巢，这段时间，要用力将又长又弯的嗦击打岩石，直到完全脱落，然后等候新的嗦长出来；再用长出的新嗦将老羽毛一片一片地拔掉。五个月后，待新的羽毛长出后，鹰得以重生，又可以朝翔于广阔的天空，继续后30年的生命旅程。

许多次，为了生存，我们必须开始经历变化。有时，我们需要遗弃旧的记忆，习惯和一些老惯例。只存从过去烦恼的尘埃中解脱，我们才能更好地把握现在。"

She has two words in her given name instead of just one _____ (5) _____ mine.

研究不同国家的姓名是件非常有趣的事情。中国姓名与外国姓名大相径庭。曾经有位英国女士

来看我。当她介绍我时，她说，“很高兴见到你，平小姐。”然后她给了我她的名片，上面有三个字：

“贝蒂布莱克”。所以我说，“谢谢，贝蒂小姐。”我们互相看着彼此，会心地笑了。后来我发现英国人的姓氏在最后面，名字在最前面，而他们的中间名不太常用。我跟她解释说，中国的姓氏在前面，名字在后面，所以她之后再没叫过我平小姐。她问我中国人有没有中间名，我说没有。但是中国人的名片上通常在三个字。在这种情况下，姓氏仍然在最前面，姓氏之后的其他字是个双字名字。这在中国是很常见的。我妹妹叫李晓芳。她的名字有两个字，而我的只有一个。"

Partly to have a rest, Edith paused in front of a counter, where some beautiful ties were on show.\" They are _____ (3) ______silk,\"the shop assistant told her with a smile trying to persuade her to buy one. But Edith knew from past experience that her choice of ties hardly ever pleased her father.

She moved on slowly and then, quite by chance, stopped where a small crowd of men had gathered round a counter. She found some fine pipes on sale and the shapes were very beautiful. Edith did not hesitate for long, although her father _____ (4) _____smoked a pipe once in a while, she believed this was certainly to please him.

伊迪丝在大商店周围逛的时候，她才意识到给父亲挑选一份合适的圣诞礼物有多难。她希望父亲能够像母亲一样容易取悦，因为母亲对香水很满意。而且，在一年的这个时节购物是最不愉快的工作。为了在你之前买到便宜的东西，人们踩着你的脚，肩膀挤着你，匆匆忙忙地差点撞倒你。

为了休息一会，伊迪丝在一个柜台前面停下了，那里有些漂亮的领带。“这是真丝领带哦，”售货员微笑着告诉她，试图说服她买一条。但是伊迪丝从过去的经验得知，选择领带几乎从来没有让父亲满意过。

她慢慢地走着，然后无意停下，那里有一群男人聚集在柜台旁。她看到有些不错的烟斗，而且形状非常美观。伊迪丝没有犹豫太久，尽管父亲只抽一会儿烟斗，但她相信，这个礼物肯定会使父亲满意。

当她带着藏在包里的虽小但却精心挑选的礼物到家时，就该吃晚饭了，而且父母已经坐在饭桌旁。她母亲非常兴奋，“你爸终于决定戒烟了。”她开心地告诉女儿。伊迪丝太过惊讶，竟然语塞。"
