On my first round-the-world trip in 2006, I planned everything out in advance. I knew where I was going, staying for how long, and how I would get there. And then half-way through I ditched the plan and went with the flow (随大流) . Over the years, how I plan my travel has changed. Now, I'm a last-minute planner and seldom travel with any plan. 

Traveling without a plan gives you great flexibility (灵活性). Since nothing is booked far in advance, you can turn to something different when you change your mind or something better comes along. I changed my plans to meet a friend on an island in Thailand and stayed for a month. I wouldn't have had that experience if I had kept to my planned schedule. 

"    ★    " — they overplan their trips. Their whole journey is scheduled. Two days here, three days there. I understand why people do that. When time is short, you want to see as much as possible. You don't want to waste a single second. 

Actually, it is better to slow down your pace. Spending more time in one place allows you to get a better feel for the rhythm of life. You can visit at a more relaxed pace, see more than just the attractions, and open up your schedule to the happy accidents of travel. 

When I first made my travel plan, I tried to include everything in it. Then I realized it was unrealistic, and reviewed my plan. I came up with a list of one or two things I want to see each day and spaced everything out. It's an important lesson to learn. I think the best trip plan is to work out the general path you want to take, book the first few nights of your trip, and let your travels unfold from there. This way you are never locked into a certain place if your feelings change. 

 B. 根据短文内容和所给中文提示,在空白处写出单词的正确形式。每空限填一词。

Debbie and Simon looked up when an old lady got into their office. The lady looked at them quickly, and then walked over to Debbie. Debbie greeted(接待) her {#blank#}1{#/blank#} (礼貌地). 

Simon was very sad and took some papers over to the fax machine. Chris, one of the {#blank#}2{#/blank#}(职员), was standing there. " What's up,Simon? You look 5{#blank#}3{#/blank#}(确切地)unhappy. " "Customers in all parts of the world always like Debbie better than me. Ⅰ{#blank#}4{#/blank#} (很少)have them. I can't understand it. "

"I can. Whether or not you can do this well depends on the way you communicate. Communicating is not just about speaking. Body language is important, too. "

"Body language?"

"I mean your gestures(姿势)and the {#blank#}5{#/blank#} (表情)on your face. Your look communicates things as well as your words. " The way you look at people doesn't give them a good impression (印象), Simon. You often rest your head on your hand. You look shy and you aren't {#blank#}6{#/blank#} (积极的). But look at Debbie. She holds her head up. She always smiles and {#blank#}7{#/blank#}(招待)them with warmth and kindness. That's why people {#blank#}8{#/blank#} (欣赏) her and go to her for help, and not you. "After that, Simon tried to smile at people. This seemed to work. Minutes later, a beautiful girl with a nice  {#blank#}9{#/blank#}(帽子)got into the office. She looked at Debbie and then Simon. Without thinking twice, she went to Sim on and gave him a big smile. A few moments later, she left, still smiling. 

Chris came over at once and said, " Well done, Simon. I'm so {#blank#}10{#/blank#} (骄傲的)of you. You've already made a good impression on her. "

"That was my sister, " said Simon. " She came to remind me that tomorrow is her birthday. "
