It was 1504，and Columbus was making another trip to the New World.Columbus and his men needed fresh water and food after three months at sea.They saw an island and went on shore.On the island there were unfriendly Indians who refused to give food to them.Columbus' men were afraid of the Indians，but he had a clever plan.He used sign language to tell the Indians about his mysterious(神秘的)power to turn off the light in the sky.He knew about a lunar eclipse(月食)the next night because the information was in his almanac (天文历书)．Columbus told the Indians，“Tomorrow night I'll turn off the light in the sky.”But they didn't believe  him.When the eclipse began the next night，the Indians  became very frightened.They begged Columbus to turn  on the light again，and they quickly gave him all the food  and water he wanted.Immediately Columbus and his men  hurried back to the ship and sailed away in the moonless  night.

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 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.

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

A．widen　　　　　　 B．protect

C．lose D．decide

A　[词义猜测题。根据第二段出现的broadens(使扩大)及最后一段的enrich，可以推测这里的expand一词表示“扩大，拓宽”，与widen意思最接近。]

6．According to the passage，in the past most people travelled ________.

A．for fun B．for knowledge

C．to get experiences D．to make a living

D　[细节理解题。根据第三段可知在古代人们外出多是为了生计奔波。]

7．How many reasons for travelling are mentioned in Paragraph 3?

A．Three. B．Four.

C．Five. D．Six.

B　[细节理解题。第三段中作者提到了四种旅游的原因或动机，分别是necessity，fun，curiosity和trade。]

8．In the author's opinion，travelling can be     ________.

A．expensive B．funny

C．helpful D．tiring

C　[推理判断题。作者主要讲了旅游带来的种种好处，由第二段及最后一段都能看出他对旅游持积极肯定的态度，认为旅游很有益处。]
