阅读理解Some years ago I was offered a writing assignment that would require three months of travel through Europe. I had been abroad a couple of times，but I could hardly claim to know my way around the continent. Moreover, my knowledge of foreign languages was limited to a little college French.I hesitated. How would I, unable to speak the language, totally unfamiliar with local geography or transportation systems, set up interviews and do research? It seemed impossible, and with considerable regret. I sat down to write a letter begging off. Halfway through, a thought ran through my mind： you can't learn if you don't try. So I accepted the assignment.There were some bad moments. But by the time I had finished the trip I was an experienced traveler. And ever since，I have never hesitated to head for even the most remote of places，without guides or even advanced bookings, confident that somehow I will manage.The point is that the new, the different, is almost scary by definition. But each time you try something, you learn, and as the learning piles up, the world opens to you.I've learned to ski at 40, and flown up the Rhine River in a balloon. And I know I'll go on doing such things. It's not because I'm braver or more daring than others. I'm not. But I'll accept anxiety as another name for challenge and I believe I can acplish wonders.1.The author accepted the assignment because _____A.he had never travelled abroad beforeB.he hardly knew any foreign languagesC.he was familiar with any other country in EuropeD.he would learn something new and different by trying2.Which of the following statements is TRUE?A.The author had been abroad only twice.B.The author thought the trip was hard but worthwhile.C.The author admitted that anything different was terrible.D.The author must be good at doing research and making interviews.3.We can infer from the text that the author is  _____.A.awkwardB.generousC.stubbornD.brave4.What's the best title of the text?A.An Interesting Trip AbroadB.My First Writing AssignmentC.Ready to Try and ChallengeD.How to Be Daring and Brave
