Imagine you’re enjoying dinner with your friends in a nice restaurant. You’re having a great time when suddenly you hear a phone ringing at the table next to you. A man takes out his phone and starts talking about problems he’s having with his girlfriend. He keeps talking for almost ten minutes! How will you feel? Maybe you’ll feel uncomfortable, but you can do nothing about it.

This happens all the time, not only in restaurants, but also on buses, at the cinema, everywhere!

Cell phones (手机) are useful in our daily lives. But be careful not to be a noisy user and disturb others. You are supposed to control your own behavior. Here are a few rules.

Pay attention! Talking on a cell phone while driving is dangerous. And watch out where you’re going when you’re walking down the street and talking on the phone.

As more people use cell phones, things are going to get worse. So, the next time you’re getting ready to make a call, stop and consider the people around you.

When Reginald Johnston first walked into the Forbidden City in 1919, most palaces weren’t allowed to visit. But a century later, the 600-year-old palace complex(宫殿群) becomes the world’s busiest museum.

Open to the public

In the old days, common people could only imagine what it looked like inside. When the Palace Museum was founded in 1925, the public could go into the palaces. Now 80% of the area of the museum is open to the public and it will increase to 85% in 2025.

“It felt like you were hit by hundreds of years of history,” Allen from Britain said. “I begin to love its history and culture.” The Forbidden City is becoming more open and friendly to visitors. It attracted(吸引) about 3.5 million visitors from abroad and 9 overseas(海外的) exhibitions were held in 2018. The Palace Museum exhibition becomes a cultural phenomenon(文化现象) everywhere it goes.

Attracting the young

On the Palace Museum’s online store on Taobao, you can find more than 10, 000 cultural products(产品). The ones with cute and humorous pictures of emperors are very popular. Some favourite products also go offline. For example, the “Kangxi Emperor’s Favourite Chocolate”, the most popular drink, always has people lining up(排队) to get a taste.

There are many reasons why I encourage people to travel，and I know that the experience will make one a better person.

I remember when I was traveling，I began to know the world better. The world is not just about me，my small town and home. Although you will meet different people from all over the world，you will realize that people are similar in their dreams，hopes and feelings. Enjoy exploring（探索）the different cultures，and you will also find that people are different in some of the things they do and how they live. Once you understand their ways，it will not be strange or scary（吓人的）. Often we read stories about other cultures in books. Only when we visit their areas，do we find that those stories are something wrong.

One thing you may find out is that there are problems all over the world. We can't just get

money to send to these areas and hope that will work them out. The world should get involved（干预）and help wherever there are problems. People everywhere should be given a chance. It is so easy to ignore（忽视）this if one does not travel or explore. One can look around and see that so many people have many challenges（挑战）worse than ours. One can realize that sometimes our biggest problems are not that big after all.

On your journey you will meet lots of new friends. Talking to strangers and finding about their lives is a great way to spend your time. You will certainly be more confident after having to deal with problems and make many decisions along the way.

When you travel，you have to be on your own in some situations. You will surprise yourself by how well you can do that. All your special experiences could make an interesting book to read. It would be filled with your special memories.

Traveling around and seeing so much happening in the world around us is a wonderful experience. If we could all just travel a little more and share our experiences，we would all be better people and the world would be a better place.

47. The writer wants to tell us that     in paragraph 2.

A. people around the world are the same in their hopes

B. books always tell us wrong stories about cultures

C. traveling can help us better understand the world

D. people in different places have strange living habits

49. Which of the following would be the best title of the passage?

A. People in the World Are Family

B. Traveling Helps One Make More Friends

C. People in the World Share One Dream

D. Traveling Makes One a Better Person

50. What's the writer's purpose of writing the passage?
