July 11 I left on my trip today. Having been overseas before, I felt somewhat at ease with the idea of traveling abroad, particularly since I lived in Asia for a number of years.
July 12
In the first city I visited, I traveled downtown by bus to have dinner and then went out to visit some of the local sites. I was surprised at the number of people selling their goods in different marketplaces, and I quickly figured out the custom of bargaining(讨价还价) over the price. And even if you feel you’re getting a good deal, you might try walking away from the merchant, and there is the chance that the shop owner will call you back and even lower the price more in an attempt to get you to purchase something.

No matter where I found myself today, I noticed a number of people who just stared at me as I walked by, as if I was from another planet. Although it was somewhat disquieting at first (particularly in the swimming pool locker room), I realized that the people were just curious, and I was even able to strike up a few conversations with some of the locals.

Everyday brings new discoveries. I find that crossing the road isn’t as easy as it seems. Bicycles, buses, people, and taxis fill the streets. And, in spite of the seemingly terrible conditions, people go about their business as if everything were routine(惯例).I, on the other hand, tried to dash in and out of traffic to cross streets, weaving back and forth, to get to the other side.

I am preparing to return back home tomorrow, and one thing I have discovered something more important than all of my other experiences has been that there are often more similarities than differences between cultures. No matter what language and culture people share, they have a desire for friendship that bridges any cultural boundaries(边界). The people I have met have been wonderful hosts and friends, and I will treasure every moment of the trip.

Section B
A
After the terrible car accident, the whole world had been completely dark and quiet for Robert Edwards for almost ten years, for he became both blind and deaf after the doctor had saved him. The loss of sight and hearing threw him into such a sorrow that he tried a few times to put an end to his life. His family, especially his wife, did their best to tend and comfort him. By and by he finally regained the courage to live on.
On a hot summer afternoon he was taking a walk with a stick near his house when a thunderstorm started all of a sudden. He stood under a large tree in order not to get himself wet. Unfortunately he was struck down to the ground by a lightning. The witnesses(目击者) thought him dead but he woke up some twenty minutes later, lying face down in muddy water below the tree. He felt that he was trembling badly, but when he opened his eyes, he didn’t dare to believe that he saw a plough lying near the wall. When Mrs. Edwards came running up to him, she shouted to their neighbors for help. And he saw her and heard her voice for the first time in nearly 10 years.
The news of Robert’s regaining his sight and hearing quickly spread across his area, and many doctors came to prove the truth of the news. Most of them said that he gained sight and hearing again obviously from the knock of the lightning. However, none of them could give believable reasons. The only reasonable explanation given by one doctor was that, since Edwards lost his sight and hearing as a result of a sudden shock in a terrible accident, perhaps the only way for them to regain was by another sudden shock.
62. When Robert Edwards learned he lost both sight and hearing, he ______.
A. was looked down upon by his former companions
B. left his family
C. lost the courage of continuing his life
D. regretted for what he had done
63. Which word can best describe the feeling of Robert Edwards when he came to himself?
A. Regretful. B. Pleasantly surprised. C. Nervous. D. Doubtful.
64. When hearing the news that Robert had regained his sight and hearing, many doctors came here to______.
A. treat the disease B. comfort him
C. ask him for help D. know whether it was true.
