Studying abroad will shape you in various ways. You will learn things you never would have if you had stayed home. When you are young and unattached, you should travel. Besides, you just might save a large sum of money. College is expensive in the United States. It’s cheap or free in other countries even for foreigners, so why not get out of here and come back smarter?
More and more American students are currently studying at German colleges. That number has increased 20% over the last three years. Living costs are about $7,000 a year, which is even lower than in other European countries. Germany encourages international students. They create a multicultural landscape that benefits German students as well. According to a new report, Germany is home to six of the world’s 100 best universities. These schools offer around 900 degrees completely in English and many German students speak the language.
You could be part of Finland’s excellent education system. The Finns charge no tuition and offer a number of courses purely in English. They would be happy for you to add flavor to their school scene. Cost of living there is high. Be prepared for frosty winters that far north, but you will get that sweet midnight sun in the summer.
Many other European nations offer cheap or free college for foreign students, but if South America is more your thing, try Brazil. Most of the education will take place in Portuguese, so if that is in your plan you can study near beautiful beaches and jungles. The University of Sao Paulo and State University of Campinas are both highly ranked internationally. Your money will go a long way there, too.
Many of the lessons you will learn will be outside the classroom. Living on the economy in a foreign country will keep you on your toes. You will learn new customs, how to bargain, stay safe, budget and become more flexible with people. There is no better way to learn a language than by immersing yourself in it. At first, it will be the toughest thing you have ever done. Eventually, it will become second nature.
1.German universities are popular among US students mainly because _________.
A. they offer a multicultural landscape
B. they belong to the world’s best ones
C. the cost of living there is reasonable
D. the students can get their degrees easily
2.The fourth paragraph suggests that __________.
A. students can learn to earn some money after class
B. many universities are surrounded by beautiful sceneries
C. Brazil provides excellent education to foreign students
D. students needn’t worry about their expense in Brazil
3.Which of the following statements is NOT TRUE according to the passage?
A. Foreign students are welcomed in Finland.
B. Studying abroad wisely can reduce your expense.
C. Students can learn English well only by learning abroad.
D. Cost of living in Finland is high because of its special climate.
4.What is the author’s attitude in the last paragraph?
A. Critical. B. Encouraging.
C. Doubtful. D. Objective.

Not many years ago, a wealthy and rather strange old man named Johnson lived alone in a village in the south of England. He had made a lot of money in trading with foreign countries. When he was seventy – five, he gave $ 60,000 to the village school to buy land and equipment for a children’s ground.
As a result of his kindness, he became famous. Many people came to visit him. Among them was a newspaperman. During their talk, Johnson remarked that he was seventy-five and expected to live to be hundred. The newspaperman asked him how he managed to be healthy at seventy-five. Johnson had a sense of humor. He liked whisky and drank some each day. “I have an injection (注射) in my neck each evening,” he told the newspaperman, thinking of his evening glass of whisky.

The United States estimates that about one out of every 10 people on the planet today is at least 60 years old. By 2050, it’s projected to be one out of 5. This means that not only will there be more old people, but there will be relatively fewer young people to support them.
Professor Richard Lee of the University of California at Berkeley says this aging of the world has a great effect on economics. “Population aging increases the concentration of population in the older ages and therefore it is costly,” he said.
Aging populations consume (消耗) more and produce less. With more people living longer, it could get expensive. But Mr. Lee says with continuing increases in worker productivity and smart planning, it can be manageable.
Societies have different methods for caring for the elderly, but each carries a cost. Generally, there are three types of support. Seniors can live off the wealth they gained when they were younger. They can rely on their family to take care of them, or they can rely on the government.
In industrialized nations, governments created publicly-funded (公共资助的) support systems. These worked relatively well until recent years, when aging population growth in places like the United States and Western Europe began to gradually weaken the systems’ finances. These nations now face some tough choices. Mr. Lee says the elderly in some of these countries must either receive less money, retire later or increase taxes to make the system continuable.
Most developing nations haven’t built this type of government-funded support, but have instead relied on families to care for their elderly. These nations also generally have a much younger population, which means their situation is not as urgent as more developed nations. But Mr. Lee says that doesn’t mean they can ignore the issue. “Third World countries should give very careful thought to this process, to population aging and how it may affect their economies — now, before population aging even becomes an issue,” he explained.
1.“Aging” in this text means ___________________ .
A. there are more young people than old people
B. an increasing number of old people are dying
C. more and more young people are growing old
D. the percentage of old people in the world is increasing
2. What is Professor Richard Lee’s attitude towards population aging?
A. Indifferent. B. Negative.
C. Optimistic. D. Worried.
3.The publicly-funded support systems in industrialized nations___________________.
A. are facing the risk of failing
B. have failed to provide support for the old
C. will be replaced by other support systems
D. have greatly affected the nations’ economies
4. We can infer from the text that developing nations___________________.
A. don’t see population aging as an issue
B. should prepare for population aging.
C. are facing urgent situations of population aging
D. have better ways to deal with population aging.

When someone says, "Well, I guess I'll have to face the music," it doesn't mean he is planning to go to a concert. It is something far less pleasant, like being called in by your boss to explain why you did this and did that, and why you did not do this or that. Terrible music indeed, but it has to be faced. At sometime or another, every one of us has had to "face the music", especially as children. We can remember father's angry voice, "I want to talk to you!” And only because we did not obey him. What an unpleasant business it was!
The phrase "face the music" is known to every American, old and young. It is at least one hundred years old. Where did the expression come from?
The first explanation came from the American novelist, James Fenimore Cooper. He said, in 1851, that expression was first used by actors while waiting in the wings to go on the stage. After they got their clue to go on, they often said. "It's time to face the music." And that was exactly what they did - facing the orchestra(乐队) which was just below the stage.
An actor might be frightened or nervous as he moved on to the stage in front of the audience that might be friendly, or perhaps unfriendly, especially if he forgot his lines. But he had to go out. If he did not, there would be no play. So the expression "face the music" came to mean "having to go through something, no matter how unpleasant the experience might be, because you knew you had no choice."
1.Which of the following statements is NOT true according to the passage?
A. If you'd like to enjoy songs, you'll face the music.
B. When actors have to face the music, it means they have to go on stage to perform, however changeable the situation is.
C. When you have to face the music, it is probable that you have met something unpleasant.
D. If a child does something against his parent's will, maybe he'll face the music.
2.Why might an actor be frightened or nervous as he moved on to the stage in front of the audience?
A. Because the audience might be unfriendly.
B. Because he thought he might forget his lines.
C. Because he was afraid that his performance might not be perfect.
D. All the above.
3.From the passage we know that the expression "face the music" was first used by ________.
A. children B. a novelist
C. actors D. audience
4.What's the main idea of this passage?
A. Actors' behavior as they moved on to the stage.
B. The meaning and the origin of the phrase “face the music”.
C. A personal idea expressed by an American novelist, James Fenimore Cooper.
D. The feelings when we have to face the music.

It all became slow motion at the sight of the arriving torch. The runner lit Ryan’s torch and then Ryan began his .As he took off down the street，the chanting became louder and louder.The filled the air and I felt I was on cloud nine. I could not have been any prouder of Ryan！He this moment—a historic moment —a moment that he was a part of and me to be a part of，too.

根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，选项中有两项为多余选项。
What do you know about the standard of living of a country? It actually means how much of the goods and services the country produces for an average person to share. 1. Obviously, the first factor is its ability to produce wealth. “Wealth” in this sense doesn’t refer to money. It’s because we don’t live on money but on things that money can buy, “goods” such as food and clothing, and “services” such as transport and entertainment.
There are various factors that determine a country’s ability to produce wealth. They affect one another. Wealth depends greatly on a country’s natural resources. 2. . Some regions of the world are rich in natural resources with a fertile soil and a favorable climate; other regions possess perhaps only one of them; some, unfortunately, possess none. The USA has everything listed above. 3. The Sahara Desert, on the other hand, is one of the least wealthy.
Also, the ability to put natural resources to use counts, which goes without saying.
4. As we see, old countries that have trained so many skilled workers over centimes are better at producing wealth than those whose workers are mainly unskilled.
Besides, with their wealth increasing, people have more for saving and can put their savings into factories and machines, which, in turn, will help workers to produce more goods. 5.
A. That means wealth itself also produces wealth.
B. No wonder it is one of the wealthiest regions of the world.
C. Natural resources are equally distributed around the world.
D. And next comes the technical efficiency of a country’s people.
E. You may ask what factors contribute to a country’s standard of living
F. They include coal, oil, gas, gold, other minerals, water supply and so on.
G. But that doesn’t make it a most wealthy country because it’s often hit by disasters.

As the new semester begins, millions of college students across the country are trying hard to remember how best to write a paper or, more likely, how best to delay that paper.
Procrastination is the thief of time and a lot of students suffer form it. They can spend whole days in the library doing nothing but staring into space, eating snacks, surfing the Internet, watching videos and looking at other students sitting around them, who, most likely are doing nothing either.
Paralyzed (使失去活力) by their habit to procrastinate, they write micro blogs about their fears, asking their online friends if they sometimes have the same issue. But this does nothing to break the spell (魔咒).
According to a recent report, 95 percent of us procrastinate at some point and 20 percent of the world’s population are always procrastinating. The figures are disappointing. Procrastinators are less wealthy, less healthy and less happy than those who don’t delay. Procrastinators like to find excuses to justify their behavior, but BBC columnist Rowan Pelling says they are all wrong.
Many procrastinators tell themselves they are perfectionists who work best under pressure. Pelling says this is non sense, as work done at the last minute is more likely to have mistakes than work done on time. The behavior of procrastinators often makes them feel ashamed, inconveniences others and annoys loved ones.
Pelling also points out that procrastination feels particularly delinquent（过失的） in a society that thinks of speedy action as admirable, and, at times, even as a moral good.
Fortunately, social scientists have thrown their weight behind efforts to understand this behavioral mistake and offer strategies to control it. Piers Steel, a Canadian social scientist and author of The Procrastination Equation, believes human is “designed” to procrastinate. Nevertheless, he suggests a couple of good ways to get through the task at hand.
1.Which behavior belongs to procrastination?
A. Never dream away the time.
B. Always complete the tasks ahead of time.
C. Never put off till tomorrow what should be done today.
D. Always wait to work until the “good mood” or “good time”.
2.According to the passage, which of the following statements is NOT TRUE?
A. Procrastination makes people waste their time.
B. Speedy action is considered as a moral standard in the society.
C. procrastinators usually complete their tasks perfectly.
D. Procrastination is common among people.
3.What is most likely to be discuss
ed in the paragraph that follows?
A. Ways to handle the study pressures.
B. Introduction to the book The Procrastination Equation.
C. More examples to illustrate procrastination
D. Measures to deal with procrastination.
