Studying in another country can be an exciting experience! _Living in another country can help you learn the language and culture. You will see a world in a new way, and learn more about yourself. The experience of studying in another country is also good for your future. Many companies(公司) today want people who speak a second language, or have an experience of living or working in another country. Making the Right Choice(选择)Once you have decided to study in another country, you have to make choices. To choose the right country or school, ask yourself, “Where do I want to go? How much do I want to pay? How long do I want to study there? Do I want to live with roommates, alone or somewhere else？” Once You Are ThereAfter the first few weeks in another country, many students may miss their home very much. They miss their family and friends. And they also miss the way they used to do things. Remember that it takes time to get used to a new place, school and the culture.

Kyle MacDonald, a 26-year-old Canadian, got a three-bedroom house through 14 trades (交换) that started with a single red paper clip. Encouraged by Kyles successful experience, now more and more young people around the world are starting their own trading activities. They set up websites where people can trade things they dont usually use with other people. A website called Peerflix allows people to trade their used DVDs. These traders usually prefer face-to-face trading, which means they dont have to worry about who is going to pay for the delivery (递送).Last year, a young girl in Beijing decided to follow the example of Kyle. She started with a paper clip and hoped to get a house in the end. After several trades she now has a piano which is more than 10,000 yuan. But she may still have a long way to go.You may be puzzled about why people are doing this. In fact, everyone in the trade activities gets things that are useful to them. Just as Kyle said, “Whats more important to a man dying of thirst in the desert one million dollars or a glass of water?” Kyles words probably show why these trades are poplar among young people.37 .

Whichf the following statements is true according to the passage?AIf you begin with a paper clip, you will finally get a house by trading.BA young girl in Beijing got a house through trading.CA glass of water is more important than one million dollars.DMany traders like face-to-face trading because they dont have to pay for the delivery.四、根据首字母、中文提示填空根据句意及首字母提示完成单词。40 .

Hobbies are activities we choose to do, but not activities we have to do. Hobbies play a very important role in our lives. For example, they are a way of connecting us with our inner(内部的) self. The time used to take up a hobby is our own time. This is the time when we can connect and communicate with ourselves. During this personal time, we can do whatever we like. Doing things according to our own wishes gives us a sense of inner satisfaction, and also helps develop self-confidence.Hobbies also help discover talents. It is possible that we are interested in a certain activity, but have never had a chance to try it. If we develop our interest as our hobbies, its quite clear that well do it with great interest. Our talents can be discovered, and this can make them feel more confident.Its human nature to try to know more about the things we like. When we pursue(追求) some activities as our favorite hobbies, we want to get more knowledge about the hobby. Whether its gardening, cooking, painting or collecting stamps, we always try to get a deeper understanding of what were doing, so that we can do it more correctly. Whats more, we also happen to meet people with similar tastes and sometimes. Besides getting knowledge, hobbies also provide us with a chance to meet people who share similar likes and dislikes with us.Whatever our hobbies are, they can be developed at any age. However, if we begin at a young age, we can get more time to experience the joys. 55 . do we take up hobbies?OutlineSupporting details56 . Hobbies are activities we do in
