The bus screamed to a stop in Nazareth, Israel.Five Australian backpackers boarded and struck up a conversation with me.They asked typical travelers' questions—where was I going and why was I traveling alone? My plan was to travel with a friend of a friend, I explained, but when I called her that morning, she didn't pick up and I had no other way to reach her.My_stomach_was_in_knots,_but I decided to head out anyway, thinking I might run into her if I traveled to Tiberius, where we had planned to go together.
“Why don't you travel with us？” one of the backpackers offered.They were experienced adventurers who would work for a few months, save, then travel for as long as they could.Their current plan was to explore the Middle East and Europe in three months while working in London.
It seemed risky to travel with strangers, but my instinct said yes.For the next two weeks, I explored Israel with the backpackers and learned to trust my instincts in all types of new and interesting situations.When they hook a ride, I took the bus, but when they wanted to steal into the King David Hotel's swimming pool, I led the way.The world opened up to me because I chose to travel alone.I joined complete strangers, who become close friends.Years later, one couple from the backpacking group even flew from Sydney to Phoenix to be in my wedding.The trip was such a special experience that it gave me confidence in all areas of my life.Since then, I've backpacked alone across South Africa, sky­dived from 12，000 feet in New Zealand and even moved across the U．S.with no job lined up.
On my third day wandering in Israel with my new friends, I bumped into the woman I was supposed to meet.Though I was happy she was all right, I was grateful she hadn't picked up the phone.

答案与解析
文章大意：这是一篇记叙文。作者原本与朋友约好去旅游，却被放了鸽子，她决定一个人去。途中她遇见了五个背包客，这些背包客邀请她一起去旅游，她和这些人一起经历了美好
的几天，并和他们成了好朋友。
1．C　推理判断题。根据前文“My plan was to travel with a friend of a friend, I explained, but when I called her that morning, she didn't pick up and I had no other way to reach her.”可知作者被朋友放鸽子了，被放鸽子肯定是失望的，C项(因为突然的变化而感到沮丧的)最符合作者此时的心情，所以选C。
2．C　推理判断题。根据第二段中的“‘Why don't you travel with us？’ one of the backpackers offered”可知这些背包客邀请作者一起旅游，说明他们很热心；根据“They were experienced adventurers who would work for a few months, save, then travel for as long as they could.”可知这些背包客旅游经验很丰富，所以是值得信任的，综合选C。
3．A　推理判断题。根据第三段中的“It seemed risky to travel with strangers, but my instinct said yes.”可知这些背包客邀请作者一起旅游时，她的本能(instinct)也就是第六感说了“好”，也就是说她的第六感让她相信她能和这些背包客相处的很好，才会答应他们的邀请，故选A。
4．D　推理判断题。根据第三段中的“The world opened up to me because I chose to travel alone.”可知作者觉得自己选择一个人旅游让自己看到了更大的世界；再结合最后一句“Though I was happy she was all right, I was grateful she hadn't picked up the phone.”可知作者庆幸她的朋友没有接她的电话。由此可以判断作者认为自己选择一个人去旅行是一个很好的决定，故选D。

Connecting with people has become so much easier with advancing technology.Tasks that once required a postage stamp or carrier pigeon are now as simple as tapping a name or even a face on your screen, and you're connected.But also easier is unconsciously getting caught up in a dilemma by violating certain new rules for communicating.A big one for some: Don't call until you've texted to confirm it's OK to call.But that's just the beginning.
“I'm usually pretty mild and not much bothers me，” said Mark Angielle, a 29­year­old office
