What have you imagined when you thought about being an International student in the U. S. before you actually became one? 1       Whether you are suffering from homesickness or simply want to know how to make life easier,here are a few tried and tested tips from other international students that could help.

1. Surround Yourself with Positive People 2       I bet you don't want to lose sight of why you are studying abroad after spending the time and money to get to the U.S. 3       Their positive attitude will inspire and motivate you when you feel down or lost.

2. Don't Be Afraid to Ask Some cultures don't consider asking questions a positive thing. My Japanese friends tell me that asking questions was somehow a negative thing to do in Japan. 4       It shows your effort to understand and the fact that you are listening to them. So never be afraid to ask questions!It is one of the most important things to be a successful student.

3. Leave Your Comfort Zone 5       Maybe that's a movie marathon,rowing on your town's river or even an underwear run. This is the best way to meet new people and find out what your college life is all about.

   A. But American people love questions!

   B. If you have a chance,attend a sports event with your new friends.

   C. The key to staying on track is to surround yourself with positive people who have good influence on you.

   D. Studying in a foreign country creates all kinds of challenges for international students.

   E. Try doing things you would not normally do.

   F. There are many negative influences in the U.S. that you may not have had in your country.

   G. However,there are a lot of things you can enjoy in the U. S. that you can't do in your country.

留學生來到美國后總會有種種不適應,文章就這一現(xiàn)象給出了三點建議。

1. D本句承上啟下。先提出作為一名國際留學生會面臨種種困難,后面再提出克服困難的建議,這樣顯得符合邏輯。

2. F考查順承關系。后文說,"我打賭你不想在花費金錢和精力后卻忘記了來美國學習的目的"。之所以有這種可能性,就在于美國有許許多多的負能量會影響留學生。

3. C考查遞進關系。后文中的"their"指的就是那些充滿正能量的人們。

4. A考查轉(zhuǎn)折關系。前文說日本人覺得問他人問題不禮貌,后面直接轉(zhuǎn)向說美國人熱愛他人提問,形成對比。

5. E考查總分關系。

B和G都是干擾項,B說的是體育運動,后文中的"movie marathon"不能算運動;G選項和小標題邏輯不統(tǒng)一。

Newspapers and websites are two major new medium in the world today,both of them can provide us with lots of news and information. But they're different in some way.

Newspapers enjoy a longer history and often come out daily with more reliable news and information. They can be carried and read almost somewhere you like. So many people like reading them. But they can only contain texts and photos.

On the other hand,websites are quite new and popular,specially among young people. Websites have not only texts with pictures but also audios and videos,they make stories more interested. What's more,they are updated from time to time. So late news is always seen on websites. And it is not quite convenient for people without a computer is connected to the Internet to get information from websites.

In many countries,it has long been a tradition to hold a annual tree or forest festival. The origin of such celebrations date back to ancient times. However,Arbor Day,as it is common known today,is of American origin and evolved from conditions peculiar to the Great Plains. It was first observed at Nebraska in 1872. The idea was created by J. S. Morton,a member of the Nebraska State Board of Agriculture,one of the country's forest conservation organization. It was a move to promote replanting,and to plant up treeless areas. The idea has spreaded widely to other lands which it is variously celebrated the "Festival of Trees"―" Greening Week" in Japan, "The New Year's Days of Trees" in Israel, "The Treeloving Week" in Korea, "The Students' Planting Day" in Iceland or "The National Festival of Tree Planting" in India. Arbor Day in their various forms is now celebrated in more than fifty countries.

Sometimes,you'd better use pen and paper than open up your mouth to convey just the right emotion. Margaret Shepherd,author of The Art of Civilized Conversation,shares these proper occasions.

* Condolences (吊唁) At first,everything is a blur (模糊不清) for the bereaved (死者的親友) so it's comforting to have notes to read later at their own pace. I       For instance, "I know you're going to be busy with family right now,but in a few weeks,Fm going to call you so we can have coffee together."Then do it.

*  2       An apology is easier to put on paper―you're calmer and you can choose better words and take more care with what you say. Apologize very clearly and don't use weasel words (推諉詞) like "I'm sorry if you were upset by me." 3      

* Praises If you compliment people to their face,they often feel they should be modest,but a written note can be savored (品味) in private. For example, "I really appreciate your patience as I learn to stop drinking."

氺 4      

A request to work on a campaign,help out a fundraiser―put them all on paper to avoid putting people on the spot.

* Thank You Most of us think we're covered if we've verbally thanked someone or sent an email,but if the person put effort into a gathering or a gift,you should put effort into making a thankyou note. I am strongly agreed that people should hand write a thankyou note for a hand cooked dinner rather than call the next day and talk about how fun it was. They just saw you the night before!5      

   A. And remember to use your pen instead of words always.

   B. Finish with something appreciative,such as "Thanks for putting up with me."

   C. Make an Offer

   D. A Request for Help

   E. Give them something to look forward to.

   F. Apologies

   G. And there isn't a person on earth who doesn't appreciate a thankyou note.

My parents were not at home,so I asked several friends to have the party. We played so happily that we forgot anything. Unluckily,I dropped a glass on accident. The glass,which was my father's favorite,was in piece and my heart was beating wild. When he came back,I was very fearful that I did not tell the truth. The cat took the blame for me. Although my father said nothing,but I could read his distrust. The next morning,after a sleepless night,I admitted for my father that it was my fault. I saw relief in his eyes when he smiling at me. From then,I never told lies and my honesty won me great trust from others.

Nearly every parent loses control and screams at the children now and then. But what if you do it repeatedly?

Researchers suspect parents are yelling more. 1       Three out of four parents yell,scream or shout at their children or teens about once a month,on average,for misbehaving or making them angry,research shows. Increasingly,therapists and parenting experts are homing in on how it hurts a child,as well as how to stop it.

Research shows that many parents lose control because they feel attacked or think the child's actions reflect poorly on them. Teens whose parents use "harsh verbal discipline" such as shouting or insulting are more likely to have behavior problems and depression symptoms,says a recent study.

2       Eight-year-olds whose parents disciplined them by yelling have less satisfying relationships with romantic partners and spouses at age 23,according to a 15-year study led by Stephanie Parade,an assistant professor of psychiatry and human behavior at Brown University.

3       Warning signs can include:tightness in the throat or chest,rapid breathing,negative thoughts about oneself or feelings of being overwhelmed.

"Learning to start sentences with ' I,rather than * you' can help parents shift from an angry attack to a teaching moment," Ms. Faber says.

Leigh Fransen felt like yelling when her daughters,Alona and Elisha,forgot to feed the family dog,Balto,on two evenings in the same week. Ms. Fransen said, "I wanted to yell, 'You're not getting any dinner tonight,because you didn't feed the dog. 4       ,―that would lead to nothing but tears and misery."

Instead,she started her response with "I” ,saying, "I don't like seeing the dog not fed. Look at him: He is miserable.5       Ms. Fransen says. Alona and Elisha needed to be reminded of the deadline twice,but soon learned to remember on their own. Ms. Fransen praised them for taking responsibility and encouraged them.

   A. And you're going to know how it feels.

   B. I expect him to be fed before you eat your own dinner.

   C. Parents have been conditioned to avoid spanking,so they vent their anger by shouting instead.

   D. Parents can learn to notice signs that a blowup is brewing and dial down their own tension.

   E. Apologizing can help repair a relationship after an outburst.

   F. Another study suggests yelling at children may have consequences that go beyond those of spanking.

   G. Parents can turn a meltdown into a teaching moment by involving kids in finding solutions.

Australia is the only country that it is also a continent. It is the sixth largest countries in the world and is in the smallest continent―Oceania. It is a main dry country with only a few costal areas that have adequate rainfall to support large population.
