A
In my junior year of college I came to a university in Madrid,Spain. The experience of studying abroad has changed my life greatly. Here is how.
My Spanish phone has no access to the Internet. It isn’t easy for me. But without Google to answer my questions,I often ask my teachers for help. When I need directions,I look up at street signs instead of looking down at my phone. It turns out that I have absorbed more when my eyes aren't glued to my screen.
In my hometown,if I wasn't in a quiet library,I could not focus on studying. However,here,without a library nearby,I have to find other locations to study. I choose to study in the darkest comer of a cafe,determining to stay away from anyone who wants to chat. As time goes by,I’ ve become habituated to the laughter and light. Now when I face a problem,an encouraging smile is all I need to get back on track. What starts off as a method of survival has changed into a love of cafes and the ability to work anywhere.
My freshman year of college was a race to find friends. I worried if I didn't immediately join a group,I would be alone for the next four years. In fact,relationships have developed more naturally abroad. With wonderful friends waiting for me back in Atlanta,I feel no pressure to make as many friends as possible. If I discover someone isn't my cup of tea,no sweat; I have the freedom to develop quality over quantity.
Before a family or school trip,my mom used to plan every detail. But in Madrid,every aspect of the trip—transportation,lodging activities,and food — is my responsibility and anxiety runs high. But while I lose a peaceful pre-trip night of sleep,my uncertain adventure is well worth the price. Traveling on my own gives me a cultural awareness that I would never understand when I blindly followed someone else's plan. I am a traveler and the trip is my own.

Is there any hope for the r/nVio (蘇門答臘犀牛)?Only about 100 of these small,hairy rhinos remain on the planet. And only a few of them exist in the wild. Scientists are lucky to spot one or two on camera traps every couple years. Like all other rhino species,Sumatran rhinos have been poached (偷獵)for their valuable horns,which are used in traditional Asian medicine and can sell at high prices. Although rhino horns have no medical effects,they are used to “treat” everything.
That it's so hard Jto find the last wild Sumatran rhinos dnesn't stnn nnar.hp.rc frnm trvino Rarlipir thic year the species was declared extinct in the wild m Borneo. A year earlier,some people rescued what now appears to have been the last wild Bornean rhino in Malaysia from a poacher's trap. That rhino,a female named Iman,was briefly thought to be a sign of hope for the species. At the time of her rescue,it appeared that she was pregnant. That didn’t turn out to be the case. Examinations showed that she — like many of the remaining females in her species — was suffering from a disease ihat prevented her from becoming pregnant.
Another sign of hope arrived this month. A Sumatran rhino named Harapan — whose name means “hope” 一 arrived in Indonesia as part of a program. The American rhino joined his older brother,Andalas,who arrived in Sumatra in 2007 and fathered a rhino in 2012. All previous breeding efforts in Indonesia failed — for 140 years ‘— until Andalas arrived. Andalas* mate,Ratu,is now expecting her second baby rhino.
However,any rhinos in captivity would not help the remiaining wild rhinos,because they probably wouldn't be able to be released into the jungle after being raised among humans. That means protecting the few wild rhinos remains important.
13. What do we know about the wild Sumatran rhino from Paragraph 1 ?
A. It lives a safer life than before.
B. Its horn is seldom used in medicine.
C. It isn't afraid of being taken pictures.
D. It is extremely hard to see in the wild.
14. Why didn* t Iman become pregnant?
A. Because she was too old.
B. Because there was no male rhino.
C. Because her health didn't allow it.
D. Because she got injured in the trap.
15. Harapan was brought to Indonesia to .
A. unite' with Ratu
B. father rhinos there
C. be released into the wild
D. help scientists do research
16. The last paragraph mainly shows that.
A. a few wild rhinos have been found recently
B. wild Sumatran rhinos should be well protected
C. many of the remaining female rhinos have got a bad disease
D. the Sumatran rhinos in captivity will be released into the jungle
