【題目】Are you tired after studying hard？American country music will take you away for a while. The guitars and songs will take you to mountains and fields there.

Country music talks about everyday life and feelings. It's the spirit of America，easy to understand，slow and basic.

Country music developed in the Southern United States. It was the folk music of the American countryside. Many of the songs tell about the lives of farmers. They talk about love，crops(莊稼) or death.

Rural life can be hard，so the words are often sad. At first，people played the music only at family parties. But it became more popular. In the 1920s，people played country songs on the radio，and they made them into records.

When people moved to towns and cities to look for work，they took their music with them. Country music continued to change and became popular across America.

【題目】“Joe, did you book your ticket yet?” I asked. “No. I changed my mind. I’m not going to go.”“What? You aren’t going to Australia? We’ve been planning this vacation for months!”“Yeah, I don’t feel like it. We’ll go some other time.”

Over the coming weeks, I tried to get my friend to reconsider, but failed. Our trip to Australia was off. And none of my friends wanted to replace him. If I wanted to travel, it would have to be on my own.

It’s taught me that if I wait for others, I’ll never go anywhere. But there are places I want to visit, people to see, experiences to have, and food to try—and only so much time to achieve it all. So I refuse to wait. I won’t let others keep me from realizing my dreams. It can be scary travelling alone, especially then you’ve never done it before. But, to me, growing old without experiencing everything you want from life is more frightening.

If you’re been putting off a trip because you’re waiting for someone to go with—stop. Just go. Don’t let others hold you back from your dreams. Trust me, along the way you’ll make plenty of friends. More than that, travelling alone gives you real freedom. You wake up and it’s just you—what you want, where you want, when you want. In that freedom and great space of possibility, you meet yourself.

It’s sink or swim and you have to learn how to survive—who to trust, how to make friends, how to find your way around alone. That’s the greatest reward（獎(jiǎng)賞） of travelling alone. Each time you go away, you learn to become a little more independent and confident.

Travelling alone is not for everyone. Some people return home soon after starting off, some cry for weeks before accepting it, and others just accept it right away. But you’ll never learn that if you don’t travel once by yourself. Whether a weekend away, a two-week vacation, or a trip around the world, try it at least once.

【1】What does the writer think is more frightening?

A. Travelling alone for the first time.

B. Changing your mind all the time.

C. Waiting for others during a long trip.

D. Failing to experience life in your growth.

【2】The underlined words “hold you back from your dreams” in Paragraph 4 probably mean“______”.

A. get you out of trouble??? B. stop you from travelling

C. keep you waiting for them??? D. wake you up from your dream

【3】According to the writer, the best reward of travelling alone is _____.

A. the experience of travelling

B. the freedom to go anywhere

C. the chance to taste delicious food

D. the possibility of meeting new people

【4】The passage is mainly about__________.

A. where to travel??? B. when to travel

C. how to travel safely??? D. why to travel alone
