Many people enjoy taking trips by themselves. Unluckily,they do not always have the best 41 . Instead,people should consider gfoup tours. Taking a group tour is a wise choice for people to
42 themselves.
First,group tours plan travelers’ routes,so people don't have to 43 where they are going next or how they are getting there. They can just 44 and enjoy their trip. 45,my family once took a group tour to China. The travel agency 46 everything for us. We just looked at the . schedule the travel agency had. 47 and followed it. Thanks to the travel agency,we had a 48 trip. This made things 49 on my father since he didn’ t have to worry about where we would go next and 50 at night.
Another 51 of group tours is that they allow .people to communicate with one another while traveling. Travelers are able to develop 52 with people they would never have met 53 they are traveling together for a number of days. As I know,my parents 54 Russia on a group tour for their honeymoon (蜜月) . They 55 another couple on that trip,and everyone had a great time together. Even after many years,they still 56 together from time to time. If my parents had traveled by themselves,it would have been 57 for them to get to know this couple.
In short,there is 58 better than a group tour when traveling. Group tours schedule everything on the trip,and they give us the 59 to meet others and make friends with them. Group tours are the 60 way to travel when taking a trip.

Peter Huszcz once taught in an agricultural college. In the 1990s,he moved to Canada. Peter started out washing dishes in a restaurant in downtown Ottawa. When the manager asked him to help out rolling meatballs in the kitchen,he soon learned how to do the job very well. But it was boring and Peter suggested that the manager should buy a meatball-making machine. When the manager told him there was no such thing as a meatball maker,Peter was quick to notice that something was missing in the market. Putting his engineering knowledge to good use,he quickly came up with a simple method — the Magic Meatball Maker.
He was sure there was a market for his machine,but it took him ten years of hard work to find it. He had to take risks,but he believed in his idea,and he managed to persuade other people to believe in him too. A local manufacturer(制造商) offered to produce the first 1,000 units in return for
a share in the profits(收益) ，local shops offered to keep his meatball makers and a friend' s daughter helped him out with his first sales.

Imagine being at a movie theater. You are watching a movie you* ve been waiting months to see. All of a sudden,a man's cell phone rings. Not only does the man answer it,he keeps talking on the phone for a long time. Situations like this lead many people to support cell blocking vlocking equipment(屏蔽设备) .While this is quite understandable,it's much fairer and safer to ailow people to use their cell phones in movie theaters.
Using cell phones in movie theaters is a matter of culture. If you look around a theater,most people there are not using phones and are enjoying the film they paid to see. The few bad apples are those that are rude in almost all situations. The ones that shout at waiters and cut in line. Putting in the blocking equipment would punish everyone,not just the impolite,but the well-mannered people as well.
Many theaters already have punishments in place for people who use their cell phones in a troublesome way while in movies. At theaters I have been to,they periodically have workers come in and see if there are rude phone users. If they notice anyone breaking theater rules,they have the power to remove people from the area. That's enough to prevent most movie goers from using cell phones in an unacceptable way.
Another argument against putting in cell phone blocking equipment is emergency situations. There are times when people might be getting a message that requires them to leave the theater. Some of these might be car accidents,births,deaths,or someone getting locked out etc. All of these are situations that would just require someone to immediately leave the theater.
Putting in cell phone blocking equipment would be unfair to those who know how to use their phones politely. The answer to this problem is to make sure rules are followed,not to prevent everyone in the theater from using their cell phones.
6. The man mentioned in Paragraph 1 can be
described as.
A. patient B. impolite
C. friendly D. strict
7. According to the text,the bad-mannered phone
users .
A. are rude not just in movie theaters
B. show no interest in the movies at all
C. welcome the blocking equipment
D. are much worse than a few bad apples
8. In the author,s opinion,the theater rules .
A. are already out of date
B. are proving to be unacceptable
C. can keep the theater in order
D. seldom work for most people
9. What is the author,s attitude to cell phone blocking equipment in movie theaters?
A. He pays little attention to it.
B. He feels doubtful about it.
C. He is uncertain of it.
D. He is against it.
10. Which of the following shows the structure of the text?
