A pleasant B graceful C save money D waste moneyBLiving and dealing with kids can be a tough job these days, but living and dealing with parents can be even tougher. If I have learned anything in my 16 years, it is that communication is very important, both when you disagree and when you get along. With any relationship, you need to let other person know how you are feeling. If you are not able to communicate, you drift apart. When you are mad at your parents, or anyone else, not talking to them doesnt solve anything. Communication begins with the concerns (关心) of another. It means that you cant just come home from school, go up to your room and ignore (不理睬) everyone. Even if you just say “Hi”, and see how their day was for five minutes, it is better than nothing. If you looked up the word “communication” in a dictionary, it would say “the exchange of ideas, the conveyance （表达）of information, correspondence （通信）, means of communication: a letter or a message”. To maintain (保持) a good relationship, you must keep communication strong. Let people know how you feel, even if its just by writing a note. When dealing with parents, you always have to make them feel good about how they are doing as a parent. If you are trying to make them see something as you see it, tell them that youll listen to what they have to say, but ask them politely to listen to you. Yelling or walking away only makes the situation worse. This is an example: one night, Sophie went to a street party with her friends. She knew she had to be home by midnight after the fireworks, but she didnt feel she could just ask to go home. That would be rude. After all, they had been nice enough to take her along with them. Needless to say, she was late getting home. Her parents were mad at first, not when Sophie explained why she was late, they werent as mad and let the incident go. Communication is the key factor here. If Sophies parents had not been willing to listen, Sophie would have been in a lot of trouble. Communication isnt a one-way deal: it goes both ways. Just remember: if you get into a situation like Sophies, telling the other person how you feel-listening is the key factor to communication.66. In the writers view, dealing with parents is _ than with children. A. more difficultB. easier C. more uninterestingD. more interesting67. When parents and children are in communication, the key to a happy relationship is that _. A. children should always obey their parents B. they should be equal C. parents play the leading part D. both make the opposite know their feelings68. The main idea of the second paragraph is _. A. the importance of friendship B. to make your feeling known to others C. the importance of communication D. the disagreement between generations69. All the following statements are correct except “_”. A. If you dont agree with others, youd better let them know B. It is better to say “Hi” to others than say nothing C. If you are not able to communicate, walk away D. Communication is a two-way deal70. The example in this passage proves that _. A. Sophies parents are willing to listen to her B. Sophie is very polite to her parents C. Sophie did well in explaining her being late D. communication is the solution(解决办法) to misunderstanding CNew friends.Fresh lifestyle.Better career opportunities.Those are attractions of overseas study for young people in China.“Start early,finish strong,” some of them say.More than 300 universities from 27 countries and regions were represented at last weekends international education exposition.The USThe US has always been on the top destination list for Chinese students,with its high education standards and enough scholarships.Good news：Its easier to get a US student visa nowadays.Last year,the refusal rate was only 20 to 30 percent,much lower than a few years before,according to US Embassy.Concerns：Therere a lot to prepare.The TOFEL,GRE.Its longer time to apply to US universities than schools in the UK or Australia.The UKEasier access to visas and international environment are the UKs great attractions for Chinese students.Good news：There are many new scholarships this year,both from the government and the universities,such as the Scotland International Scholarship.Concerns：Money.Money.Money.Its expensive to study in the UK,with an average cost of 200,000 to 300,000 yuan a year.Useful link：CanadaCanadas multicultural environment is good for students studies and careers.Good news：Students are allowed to take offcampus parttime jobs during their studies from last year.Itll help pay living expenses.Students can get twoyear work permits after graduation.Concerns：Only a limited number of scholarships are available.They rarely cover the full cost of a study program.Useful link：AustraliaGood climate,high quality education and favorable immigration policythese make Australia one of the most popular choices among Chinese students.Good news：A new Evisa policy ensures a quick application process (four weeks compared with 12 weeks before)Concerns：Tuition fees have risen in past years.The total cost is about 200,000 yuan to attend a university located in big cities like Sydney or Melbourne.Useful link：1If you want to have more chances of getting scholarship to study in a foreign country,youd better choose .ACanada Bthe UK Cthe US DAustralia2Many young people go to study in the US because .Ait is very difficult for them to get a student visaBit is easier for them to pass the TOFEL or GRECthey dont spend much time applying to US universitiesDthey think they can receive good university education3If you want to go on staying in the country after you finish studying there,you will choose .AAustralia or the UK BCanada or AustraliaCthe US or the UK DCanada or the UK4In which of the following countries may money be the most concern while studying abroad?AThe US & the UK.
