Visitor Oyster cards are electronic smart cards that come fully charged with credit. Whether you're making a one－off trip to London or you're a regular visitor, using an Oyster travel smart card is the easiest way to travel around the city's public transport network. Simply touch the card on the yellow card reader at the doors when you start and end your journey.

Advantages of a Visitor Oyster Card

A Visitor Oyster card is one of the cheapest ways to pay for single journeys on the bus, Tube, DLR, tram, London Overground and most National Rail services in London：

●Save time—your card is ready to use as soon as you arrive in London.

●It's more than 50% cheaper than buying a paper travel card or single tickets with cash.

●There is a daily price cap—once you have reached this limit, you won't pay any more.

●Enjoy special offers and promotions at leading London restaurants, shops and entertainment venues—plus discounts on the Emirates Air Line cable car and Thames Clippers river buses.

Buy a Visitor Oyster Card

Buy a Visitor Oyster card before you visit London and get it delivered to your home address. A card costs ￡3 (non－refundable) plus postage. Order online and arrive with your Oyster in hand! You can also buy a Visitor Oyster card from Gatwick Express ticket offices at Gatwick Airport Station and on board Eurostar trains travelling to London.

Add Credit to Your Visitor Oyster Card

If you are visiting London for two days, you can start with ￡20 credit. If you run out of credit, add credit at the following locations：

●Touch screen ticket machines in Tube, DLR, London Overground and some National Rail stations.

●Around 4,000 Oyster Ticket Stops found in news agents and small shops across London.

●TFL Visitor and Travel Information Centers.

●Tube and London Overground station ticket offices.

●Emirates Air Line terminals.

Ⅱ　七选五

We often close ourselves off when unfortunate events happen in our lives. We try to forget the pain by pretending it doesn't exist, but although we can try all this we want, in the end, we can't hide from ourselves.   1   Here are some ways you can open your heart more fully.

•Breathe into pain

Whenever a painful situation arises, try to accept it instead of running away.   2   By using our breath we soften our experiences.

•Embrace the uncomfortable

  3   We know how fear feels in our bodies: the tension in our necks, the tightness in our stomachs, etc. We can face these feelings of discomfort and let them show us where we need to go.

•Spend time alone

For most of our lives we're surrounded by people: our friends, colleagues, peers, family members, loved ones, and strangers. How often do we really spend time alone?   4   You can truly open yourself and explore whatever you'd like. The golden ticket here is not to let yourself become distracted; just see what it's like to be alone.

•Get outside of yourself

This may seem a little contrary to the last tip.   5   After you've explored the depths of yourself, you come away with a new understanding. Now, it's time to share that—not through telling others, but through being with others.

A．We all know what anxiety feels like.

B．However, in reality they work hand in hand.

C．We need to learn to open our hearts to the potential of life.

D．When the sadness strikes, take a deep breath and face up to it.

E．You'll add a new layer of depth and understanding into your life.

F．Lose yourself in the beauty of others; see what they can teach you about yourself.

G．When you spend time in solitude (独自) you're free from the influences of other people.

篇章导读：本文是一篇说明文。当恐惧与焦虑来袭时，我们应该退后一步，重新反思自己的言行。文章介绍了四种方法可以帮助你完全敞开心扉。

1．C　C项与下一句中的“open your heart”呼应。我们需要敞开心扉，拥抱生活中的各种可能；然后接下来介绍了四种帮助我们敞开心扉的方法。

2．D　D项和本空前一句构成并列，并与本段的标题对应。

3．A　A项与本空下一句的句型对应，构成并列关系。我们都有过对焦虑的感受，也都知道恐惧带来的身体上的反应。

4．G　第三个小标题介绍的是享受独处，所以G项和标题呼应，符合段落大意。

5．B　B项和本空前一句构成转折。最后一段介绍的“走出自我”和前一个建议貌似有点矛盾，但其实两者却是相辅相成的。
