7、shamed of it if it was known. I refused to use a white stick and hated asking for help. After all, I was a teenage girl, and I could not bear people to look at me and think I was not like them. I must have been a terrible danger on the roads. Coming across me wandering through the traffic, motorists
8、 probably would have to stop rapidly on their brakes. Apart from that, there were all sorts of disasters that used to occur on the way to and from work.One evening, I got off the bus about halfway home where I had to change buses, and as usual I ran into something. “Im awfully sorry,” I said and ste
9、pped forward only to run into it again. When it happened a third time, I realized I had been apologizing to a lamppost(街灯柱). This was just one of the stupid things that constantly happened to me. So I carried on and found the bus stop, which was a request stop, where the bus wouldnt stop unless pass
10、engers wanted to get on or off. No one else was there and I had to guess if the bus had arrived.Generally in this situation, because I hated showing I was blind by asking for help, I tried to guess at the sound. Sometimes I would stop a big lorry and stand there feeling stupid as it drew away. In th
11、e end, I usually managed to swallow(吞下) my pride and ask someone at the stop for help.But at this particular evening no one joined me at the stop; it seemed that everyone had suddenly decided not to travel by bus. Of course I heard plenty of buses pass, or I thought I did. But because I had given up
12、 stopping them for fear of making a fool of myself, I let them all go by. I stood there alone for half an hour without stopping one. Then I gave up. I decided to walk on to the next stop.4.

16、lem to take too many things,and anyway if necessary, you can buy what you need in America. Things like jeans, T-shirts and other clothes are good buys in the US. If you huntaroundyou canusually find something on sale.Whatever baggage you take, make sure it is easy to take .Getting on and off buses a
17、nd trains, evenjust changing planes,can be a test if your bags are too heavy or too many .The best way is to take one holdall(手提箱), likea suitcase or a backpack, and then a smaller bag. Even when you have to check in your holdall, at the airport or bus station, you can keep all your money and docume
18、nts by your side. Itis also a good idea to keep a change of clothing in your shoulder bag in case your suitcase or backpack gets lost by an airline or a bus company.The means you choose to travel aroundthe US will depend on your money, your time and somethingelse. Since there are certain discounts a
19、vailable to travelerswho buy their tickets outside the US, it is a goodidea to make travel plans before you go there.

23、ups in America, according to the US Census Bureau. More than 40 percent of the adult population are singles, and 10 percent of all adults will never marry, according to the recent statistics. In less than 30 years, the number of people who have never walked down the aisle(通道) has more than doubled,
24、as the average age of marriage has reached a historic high: 25 years for women, and 27 years for men. Why is America becoming more and more a nation of singles? “People are being more demanding. Its a soul mate(配偶) or nothing, when a generation ago, less than half the people said something similar t
25、o that,” relationship expert Laura Berman told Good Morning America.A recent Rutgers University study found 94 percent of people between the age of 20 and 29 agreed to the statement: “When you marry, you want your partner to be your soul mate, first and foremost(最重要的).”In addition to that, modern wo
26、men are able to support themselves, and do not need men for their money, Berman said. Some are buying homes for themselves. “They need a man for improving their lives, but not for creating them.” she said. Gillian Thomas, a 33-year-old lawyer in Philadelphia, is part of the growing group. Attractive
27、 and successful, she has simply not found the right person to marry, and sees no reason to settle for less. “I feel internal(内部的) pressure to find a soul mate and I think we all do,” Thomas says. “I dont think its just women. I think that in this sort of post-feminist(后女权主义) generation we all feel l
28、ike we can have it all.”Singles often depend on a “family” of friends, who do everything from helping to paint each others apartments to taking vacations together, said freelance(自由职业) writer Ethan Watters, a single 37-year-old.He has maned these groups “urban tribes”, and is writing a book on the s
29、ubject. But only the name is new.The comfort of these “urban tribes” may delay marriage, but they dont rule marriage out. Indeed, there may be some good news for those who wait, Watters says. As the average age of marriage has risen, statistics say that divorce rates have leveled off. Could the urba
30、n tribes be on to something? 12. As is given in this passage, why are there more and more never-marrieds” in America? A. More and more young Americans enjoy single life. B.
