• 3．It was at least two months before Christmas when nine-year-old Almie Rose told her father and me that she wanted a new bicycle.As Christmas drew nearer，her wish for a bicycle seemed to disappear，or so we thought.We bought Baby Sitter's Club dolls，and a doll house.
     Then，much to our surprise，on December 23rd，she said that she "really wanted a bike more than anything else".It was just too late.With all the details of preparing Christmas dinner and buying last-minute gifts，how could we take the time to select the "right bike" for our little girl？So，here we were — Christmas Eve around 9：00 p.m.，with Almie and her six-year-old brother，Dylan，settled（安置） snug（暖和的） in their beds.Now we could only think of the bicycle and the disappointment of our child.
     "What if I make a little bicycle out of clay（泥） and write a note that she could trade the clay model in for a real bike？" her dad asked.
     "This is an expensive item and she is 'such a big girl'；it would be much better for her to pick it out."
     So he spent the next four hours working hard with clay to make a tiny bike.
     On Christmas morning，we were excited for Almie to open the little heart-shaped package with the beautiful red and white clay bike and the note.Finally，she opened it and read the note aloud.
     "Does this mean that I trade in this bike that Daddy made me for a real one？"
     Pleased，I said，"Yes." Almie had tears in her eyes when she replied，"I could never trade in this beautiful bicycle that Daddy made me.I'd rather keep this than get a real bike."
     At that moment，we would have moved heaven and earth to buy her every bicycle on the planet!

• 4．Now many young people are traveling around the world on their own，not because they have no one to travel with，but because they prefer to go alone．
     Kristina Wegscheider from California first traveled alone when she was at college and believes that it is something everyone should do at least once in their life．"It opens up your mind to new things and pushes you out of your comfort zone．"Wegscheider has visited 46 countries covering all seven continents．
     In foreign countries，with no one to help you read a map，look after you if you get ill，or lend you money if your wallet is stolen，it is challenging．This is what drives young people to travel alone．It is seen as character building and a chance to prove that they can make it on their own．
     Chris Richardson decided to leave his sales job in Australia to go traveling last year．He set up a website，The Aussie Nomad，to document his adventures．He says he wished he had traveled alone earlier．"The people you meet，the places you visit，or the things you do，everything is up to you and it forces you to grow as a person，"said the 30-year-old man．
     Richardson describes traveling alone like"a shot in the arm"，which"makes you a more confident person that is ready to deal with anything"．He said，"The feeling of having overcome something on my own is a major part of what drives me each day when I'm dealing with a difficult task．I walk around with my head up because I know deep down inside that nothing is impossible if you try．"
     The great 19th century explorer John Muir once said，"Only by going alone in silence can one truly get into the heart of the wilderness．"
  
  （1）Which of the following will Kristina Wegscheider agree with？

  
  A．Traveling alone is a necessary experience for everyone．

  （3）What can we infer about Chris Richardson？

  
  A．He started traveling alone at an early age．
  B．He was once shot in the arm．
  C．He used to work as a salesman．
  D．His website inspires others a lot．
