【題目】Spending a term abroad can be one of the most thrilling experiences of your college career，but it’s challenging to adapt to a new culture，especially when you don’t speak the native language. The following are top tips of the experts on improving your time abroad.

Set specific goals.

“Set goals for yourself when going abroad so that you can bring experiences back home with you，”says Harrison，the Outreach Manager of Go Abroad. “Whether you want to learn to cook a traditional recipe from your host family or pack for the long-term，these lessons of daily life can translate back home. How you choose to learn from your experiences，or even apply them as transferable job skills，will make all the difference.”

“Make at least one local friend，”says Matthew，co-founder of Students Gone Global. “Join a club，community service group，or a sports league — it will help you form a network and find people you click with. Go out of your way to talk to students in your classes.”

Sign up for classes that allow you to explore.

“Take classes that are interesting and related to the local culture.” says Matthew. “I highly recommend classes with field trips because your professor can show you a side of the country you never would have seen on your own.”

If you’re staying with a host family, do get to know them.

“When living with a host family, be mindful of their lifestyle and try your best to adapt to it，”says Lauren，a member of Go Abroad ’s Content ＆ Outreach Team, “Have a conversation about rules and customs right away to be sure you know what your host family expects of you. Join yourself in their way of life — try every meal that is offered to you at least once，and ask them to teach you how to play their favorite sport or game.”

【題目】In the United States, when one becomes rich, he wants people to know it．And even if he does not become very rich, he wants people to think that he is．That is what “Keeping up with the Joneses” is about．It is the story of someone who tries to look as rich as his neighbors．

The expression was first used in 1913 by a young American called Arthur Momand．He told this story about himself．He began earning $125 a week at the age of 23．That was a lot of money in those days．He got married and moved with his wife to a very wealthy neighborhood outside New York City．When he saw that rich people rode horses, Momand went horseback riding every day．When he saw that rich people had servants, Momand and his wife also hired a servant and gave big parties for their new neighbors．It was like a race, but one could never finish this race because one was always trying to keep up．The race ended for Momand and his wife when they could no longer pay for their new way of life．They moved back to an apartment (公寓房間) in New York City．

Momand looked around him and noticed that many people do things just to keep up with rich lifestyle of their neighbors．He saw the funny side of it and started to write a series of short stories．He called it ‘‘Keeping up with the Joneses”, because “Jones” is a very common name in the United States. “Keeping up with the Joneses” came to mean keeping up with rich lifestyle of the people around you．Momand’s series appeared in different newspapers across the country for over 28 years．

People never seem to get tired of keeping up with the Joneses．And there are “Joneses” in every city of the world．But one must get tired of trying to keep up with the Joneses because no matter what one does, Mr．Jones always seems to be ahead．

【1】Some people want to keep up with the Joneses because they___________．

A．hope to be rich people like their neighbors

B．want others to know or to think that they are rich

C．want to hide their wealth from other people

D．would like to be common people

【2】Arthur Momand used the name “Jones” in his series of short stories because “Jones” is____．

A．a(chǎn)n important name for important people

B．a(chǎn) popular name in the United States

C．the name of the neighbor he did not like

D．a(chǎn) name which people did not use any longer

【題目】閱讀理解。

Like human beings，dogs may catch cold because of cold weather，wet conditions or can also get it from other sick dogs．If a dog has a running nose and watery eyes，coughs or sneezes(打噴嚏），then it is quite probable that the dog has caught cold．

A dog's cold can get over after a few days without treatment but it totally depends upon the owner to treat it with medications or improve its immune power （免疫力） to get rid of the cold naturally．Following are some of the things you can do if your dog gets a cold．

You can improve its immune power by giving it proper nutrient diet．Healthy food can really do wonders．Try to give it food which is either suggested by the vet（獸醫(yī)）or is healthy for your pet．Increase the intake of food which is rich in vitamins A，C and E．

Keep your dog warm．The best place for your dog in winter is inside your house．Do not keep your dog outside when it is cold and wet．At home you can also keep the dog warm with the help of carpets．This will make him comfortable and help him to recover fast．

Increase the fluid（流質(zhì)）intake as it helps a lot．Water can be the best choice but you can also add broth （肉湯）in water which will give your dog strength．Warm water will make your dog more comfortable and will also keep the dog away from the respiratory infections（呼吸道感染）．

Steam treatment is considered to be effective in getting rid of cold．It makes the nasal（鼻的） passage (通道)wet，which helps proper breathing．Just fill your bathroom with steam and leave your dog inside the bathroom for 15 minutes．Do it nearly 2 to 3 times a day and you will see your dog recovering．

These are some of the things you can do to help your dog recover from cold．However，if you are not able to find any improvement in its health，then turn to the vet for help immediately．Take your dog for regular checkups so as to avoid complications（并發(fā)癥）．

【1】rom the first paragraph we know about __________．

A．the difficulty in keeping a dog as a pet

B．characteristics （特征）of sick dogs

C．the similarities between dogs and human beings

D．causes and symptoms（癥狀）of cold in dogs

【2】When your dog catches cold，you should feed it on _______．

A．its favorite food

B．the suggested food by the vet

C．some meat and water

D．food rich in vitamin B

【3】When a dog catches cold，it is wrong to ________．

A．keep it inside during cold and wet weather

B．leave it inside the bathroom full of steam

C．let it eat too much solid (固體) food

D．keep it sleeping on rugs at home

A．a(chǎn) dog’s cold can always disappear naturally

【題目】閱讀理解。

My father was 44 and knew he wasn’t going to make it to 45．He wrote me a letter and hoped that something in it would help me for the rest of my life．

Since the day I was 12 and first read his letter , some of his words have lived in my heart．One part always stands out．“Right now ,you are pretending to be a time killer(消磨時間者)．But I know that one day, you will do something great that will set you among the very best．” Knowing that my dad believed in me gave me permission to believe in myself．“You will do something great．” He didn’t know what would be, and neither did I ,but at times in my life when I’ve felt proud of myself , I remember his words and wish he were here so I could ask , “Is this what you were talking about , Dad ? Should I keep going ?”

A long way from 12 now , I realize he would have been proud when I made any progress．Lately, though, I’ve come to believe he would want me to move on to what comes next : to be proud of , and believe in , somebody else．It’s time to start writing my own letters to my children．Our children look to us with the same unanswered question we had．Our kids don’t hold back because they’re afraid to fail．They’re only afraid of failing us．They’re only afraid of failing us．They don’t worry about being disappointed．Their fear as mine was until my father’s letter is of being a disappointment．

Give your children permission to succeed．They’re waiting for you to believe in them．I always knew my parents loved me．But trust me ：That belief will be more complete , that love will be more real , and their belief in themselves will be greater if you write the words on their hearts ：“Don’t worry ; you’ll do something great．”Not having that blessing from their parents may be the only thing holding them back．

A．lost his father when he was young

B．worked hard before he read his father’s letter
