Question:
I want to go to grm/wfl紀 sc/wo/ (研冗生院) ，but it seems really expensive. What's the best way to pay for it?
Answer:
Pick a school you know you can afford
A big part of your decision will depend on the graduate programs available to you. I had thousands of dollars in student loan debt freim being an w/2辦rgradwafe (本科生) at New York University when I made the decision to go to graduate school for journalism. So I searched for a program that wouldn’t cost a lot. Looking back,I'm glad I chose to go to the City University of New York,a public school,because I graduated with almost no debt at all.
Exhaust scholarships and grants before you take out loans
You probably remember hearing this when you applied to college,but there's a huge number of scholarships available,some of which don't get a lot of applicants. Search for professional organizations focusing on the field you* re interested in,for example,and see if they offer graduate scholarships.
Borrow only the amount you need
When you* re accepted to graduate school,you 11 get a financial aid award letter,which will include federal and private loans to cover the cost that scholarships and grants won,t. But you don't need to take the full amount of loans your school offers you. Reduce the amount of loans you take on io the smallest by graduating on time,so you don't have to borrow additional money,and by paying the interest on your federal loans while you* re in school.
Pick the right student loan repayment strategy
When it's time to pay back your graduate school loans,there are lots of ways to make your monthly bills manageable. If you have federal loans,you can choose from six repayment plans,some of which tie your monthly payments to your income. If you don't earn enough to afford the 10-year standard repayment plan,you can pay up to 10% of your income on income-based repayment or the Pay As You Earn plan instead.

Big waves are very bad news indeed. History is full of examples of devastation(破壞)The biggest wave ever recorded was the one that hit Alaska in 1958,after a huge landslide (山崩) created a tsunami that peaked at 500 meters above sea level. That's not a misprint: It was more than twice as high as the ：tallest building in Britain today — Canary Wharf Tower. Scientists know how high it was because the giant wave removed trees and soil from nearby mountains up to that ：altitude.
The Alaskan wave is believed to have been a tsunami caused by a landslide. Italy has been hit by as many as 67 tsunamis in the past 2 ,000 years,though none ：of them was as devastating as the one that killed 230,000;people around the Indian Ocean in 2004.
It's useful to tell the differences between tsunamis, which are caused by geological events,and enormous waves generated by weather. But it is probable that both types will become a lot more common as a result of worldwide global warming. The oceans absorb more than 80 percent of the heat added to the climate system. As the waters heat up,wind speeds increase,storms become more violent,polar ice melts,and sea level rises.
“Now is the time to prepare for great floods,” Lloyd, an editorial in New Scientist,advised. ”In the future,the UK's coastal cities will be jn jeopardy due to rising sea levels,” reported Lloyd. Similarly,nine out of the world's ten largest cities are located on low-lying coastal land.
But giant waves are not new. For centuries,sailors told of the existence of enormous waves up to 100 feet high that could appear without warning in mid-ocean and often in perfectly clear and calm weather. Researchers ： had reservations until the' existence of extremely huge waves was confirmed in 1995 in Norway,where an ： 84-foot wave occurred in the sea where the average of the : tallest 33 percent of waves was 39 feet.
9. How did scientists determine the height of the Alaskan wave?
A. By comparing it with Canary Wharf Tower.
B. By observing the damaged mountains.
C. By watching it from a tall building.
D. By studying the huge landslide.
10. According to the text,more giant waves will be caused by .
Ai tsunamis B. landslides
C. climate change D. rising sea levels
11. The underlined words “in jeopardy” in Paragraph 4 probably mean .
A. in place B. in peace
C. in danger D. in control
12. What can we infer from the last paragraph?
A. Giant waves are less common recently.
B. The biggest wave ever recorded was in Norway.
C. Enormous waves appear with warning in the ocean.
D. Researchers had doubts about huge waves before 1995.

Don’t try this — ever. Hiking to the end of the Awa’ awapuhi Trail(路徑) on the island of Kauai,Hawaii is a pretty scary experience. But photographer Scott Sharick did that. Holding a camera stick,he walked along the mountain's ridge. The resuld? The scariest (自拍) we've ever seen.
Scott Sharick did that because he is a photographer and he needs to take risks at times. It doesn't mean we can follow his footsteps. The state forbids hikers to go where this man has gone.
While the trail starts with a fairly easy walk through the Na Pali-Kona Forest Reserve,where you* 11 enjoy fine views of the ocean and valleys,it ends with two lookout points(瞭望哨) showing off the amazing Awa awapuhi and Nualolo valleys below. “The trail slopes down,so getting there is quick,” Sharick explained. “Once you get to the lookout points,you can then take a walk down the ridge.”
If you go past the raz/zVzgs (金屬圍欄) ，which is extremely dangerous and not suggested,and onto the mountain's ridge like Sharick did,you’ 11 find yourself surrounded by panoramic views of.Kauai‘s famousNa Pali coastline. "Anyone hiking should be aware of the challenges of any given hike ,” Sharick warned. “And they should not take risks just to see a beautiful view or to get a picture."
David Chatsuthiphan,who writes the hiking blog Unreal Hawaii,offered a similar warning. “Extreme caution should be exercised at the end of the trail because it's a cliff,” he wrote. “It would be very easy for a person to slip and fall to his death."
Follow the state's official trail and access a guide to reach the Awa,awapuhi Trail head. Going onto the mountain's ridge is strictly banned.
9. Why did Scott Sharick hike to the end of the Awa,awapuhi Trail?
A. To show his bravery.

This is the salamander (蠑螈) capital of the world; the Great Smoky Mountains National Park harbors 30 species,giving it the planet's most diverse population. “Catching” salamanders in the park is illegal.So the only sgfe way for kids to hunt for,capture,examine,and then return salamanders to their habitat unharmed is through the Slimy Salamanders program — one of the many junior rawgers (園林管理員) and Smoky Mountain Field School opportunities available to kids in the park.
“Studying salamanders helps us understand more about the health of the whole park ,” says ranger Emily Guss,who designed the park* s Slimy Salamanders program. “And from there we can start a discussion with kids about climate change." Kids participating in the program collect important data — identifying species and size 一 that help monitor salamanders’ behavior.
For the program,kids gather at the Sugarlands Visitor Center,just inside the park's main Tennessee entrance near Gatlinburg. “Why are you guys here today?” Guss asks.
Kids scream as one: aSalamanders!
Guss says, "Yes,but you* re also going to be scientists. So let me see your best scientists’ manners." She presses her lips together and puts her forefinger to them,tips her head slightly,gets a quizzical look on her face,and says, “Hmm." The kids imitate her every action.
She takes kids to a special secret salamander spot. “Salamanders are amphibians,” Guss explains. “You must handle them gently because their tails can break off. It takes two years to regrow. Sometimes it's a completely different color."
“A salamander stores fat in his tail,which is his source of energy,” continues Guss. “If a salamander loses his tail,he will lose his energy. That will make it easier for a raccoon 一 a small North American anirhal — to catch and eat him."
Kids spread out to seaYch for salamanders. They are serious scientists and understand their roles as protectors,stepping carefully,looking down,and helping each other guide swimming salamanders through the water into the bags.
“Animals always leave clues,but kids rarely look for jthem ,” says ranger Nola Isobe. “If you are observant and know what to look for,you’ 11 see all kinds of amazing things here."
5. What is the purpose of the Slimy Salamanders program?
A. To raise money for salamanders.
B. Tp stop illegal salamander hunting.
C. To lead children study salamanders.
D. To find more salamanders for the park.
6. Before going to the salamander spot,Guss .
A. tells kids about scientific tools
B. stresses the importance of imitation
C. teaches kids to behave like scientists
D. introduces some salamander scientists
7. What can we learn about a salamander's tail?
A. It regrows fast.
B. It is vital for its life.
C. It is usually very tough.
D. It can scare raccoons away.
8. Nola Isobe seems to encourage children to .
