this month in travelers corner there are three teenagers experiences in year-abroad programmes.mariko okada tokyomy year abroad in the united states was a fantastic experience. im not a shy person, and i was very comfortable speaking to everyone. so i got lots of speaking practice. i also learned lots of interesting things about american culture. when i got home, my friends all said that i had improved so much! i hope to go back again in the future.carla fonseca rio de janeiroi spent last year studying english in london. im from a small town, and london is a very big city. sometimes i felt

hardly had the chance for a nice long talk with my parents. i think it was a good experience for me, but im glad to be home!alvin chen hong kongstudying in new zealand was an interesting experience

hate all the terrible pianos in this town. i hate that rubbish they play on the radio. they cant even understand a bit of music.”“im never playing in that club again. too many drunks and nobody listens to us.”but, one younger musician said, “there are a few clubs that book my band a few nights a month, and im trying to find other places to play. im also looking to book a few summer festivals this year.”ive heard that you are the average of the five people whom you spend the most time with, or to put it another way, you are who your friends are.attitudes are important. whether theyre positive or negative, theyre rubbing off on you. if youre around people who complain about lack of work and about other musicians, or blame (责怪) others, and you play the role of victim (受害者), chances are you will start to as well. so its time to take a look at the people you call “friends”. this is an easy exercise: make a list of the people who you hang out with, and simply stop spending time with the negative people on your list. set a new standard (标准) for yourself and dont become friends with people who fall below that standard.keep successful people around you and your own chances for success will be much better. ask them how they do it. ask if they will help you get the work youre looking for, or maybe give you some advice to help you on your career path.66which of the following

true that a person should drink 8 glasses of water every day to stay healthy. however, drinking water right after eating or even during a meal may disrupt (扰乱) digestion. it might affect the natural levels of acid and bile (酸和胆汁) that are necessary for proper digestion. whats more, drinking cold water after eating might slow down （减慢）digestion. so try to avoid drinking water at least an hour
