Wang Zhihuan showed his love to the country in his poemDPeople 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 thing 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 our mind.We can get in touch with other civilizations，cultures，customs and ideas.Through history，most people travelled because of necessity—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.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.20. The underlined word "expand" in Paragraph 1 can be replaced by ______ .A. widenB. protectC. loseD. enjoy21. According to the passage，in the past most people traveled ______ .A. for furB. for knowledgeC. to make a livingD. to get experiences22. What's the main idea of this passage______A. Different kinds of travellingB. Travelling enriches our mindC. Ways to enjoy yourself while travellingD. The advantages and disadvantages of travellingEThe weather is something that no one can control.There are so many expressions about the rain.Sometimes when you need rain，yet you do not get any.Other times you get rain when you do not want it.Take a ball game for example.A sudden rainstorm can stop an exciting game，making the players and the persons who watch the game run for cover.If the game can not continue，people who bought tickets are given rain checks.These are special tickets that will let them see a later game for free.Rain check now means a second chance at something.Often a rain check has nothing to do with rain.Stores may offer rain check when they sell all of their products such as a low price TV set.The rain check allows a person to buy the TV set later at the same low price after the store receives more from the factory.Rain check also is used in social situations.It is a way of accepting an invitation but for a later time.There are times when no rain falls for weeks.Some places in this situation send for a rain-maker，a person who is believed to have the power or technology to get rain to fall.These days some businesses look for rain-makers not to make rain but to help the business make more money.This modern kind of rain-makers knows nothing about making rain.He is an influential person who is asked to join a company to increase its business.This kind of rain maker is especially popular with law officers.There are times when it never rains but it pours.The expression is not about rain.It is about problems，problems that seem to happen one after the other.Poor Joe，for example，his wife left him，then he lost his job and his car stolen.For Joe，it never rains but it pours.23.
