ItB. ItsC. It’sD. HisAnswer: B. ItsExplanation: When referring to the possession of an animal, we use thepossessive pronoun “its.” The correct form is “its” without an apostrophe, which is used to show possession. “It’s” is a contraction for “it is” or “it has,” which would not fit in this context. “His” could be correct if the gender of the pet was known to be male, but since the question specifiesa pet dog and does not indicate gender, “its” is the most appropriate choice.3、Choose the correct word to complete the sentence.A. happyB. sadC. angryThe little puppy is always playing in the yard, so it looks quite _______.A. happyB. sadC. angryAnswer: AExplanation: The sentence describes a puppy that is always playing, which implies it is in a joyful state.

Note that there is one word more than you need.A. quicklyB. analyzeC. programmedD. adoptionE. boredomF. unaccompaniedG. dramaticH. transformI. distractedJ. peacefullyK. prospectImagine an urban neighborhood where most of the cars are self-driving. What would it be like to be a pedestrian?Actually, pretty good. In fact, pedestrians might end up with the run of the place.In a new study published in the Journal of Planning Education and Research, Millard-Ball looks at the __31__of urban areas where a majority of vehicles are “autonomous” or self-driving. It’s a phenomenon that’s not as far off as one might think.“Autonomous vehicles have the potential to __32__ travel behavior,”Millard-Ball says. He uses game theory to __33__ the interactions between pedestrians and self-driving vehicles, with a focus on yielding at crosswalks.Because autonomous vehicles are by design risk-averse, Millard-Ball's model suggests that pedestrians will be able to act with impunity, and he thinks autonomous vehicles may facilitate a shift towards pedestrian-oriented urban neighborhoods. However, Millard-Ball also finds that the __34__ of autonomous vehicles may be hampered by their strategic disadvantage that slows them down in urban traffic.“Pedestrians routinely play the game of chicken,”Millard-Ball writes. Crossing the street, even at a marked crosswalk without a traffic signal, requires a probability calculation: what are the odds of survival?The benefit of crossing the street __35__, instead of waiting for a gap in traffic, is traded off against the probability of injury or even death. Pedestrians know that drivers are not interested in running them down -- usually. But there is the chance a driver may be __36__, or drunk.Self-driving cars are __37__ to obey the rules of the road, including waiting for pedestrians to cross. They could provide the most __38__ transformation in urban transportation systems. Parking, street design, and transportation service networks are likely to be revolutionized. In his latest study, Millard-Ball suggests that the potential benefits of self-driving cars -- avoiding __39__ of traffic and traffic accidents -- may be outweighed by the drawbacks of an always play-it-safe vehicle that slows traffic for everybody.“From the point of view of a passenger in an automated car, it would be like driving down a street filled with __40__ five-year-old children,” Millard-Ball writes.Alternatively, planners could seize the opportunity to create more pedestrian-oriented streets. Autonomous vehicles could start a new era of pedestrian domination.III. Reading Comprehension (45%)Section ADirections: For each blank in the following passage there are four words or phrases marked A, B，C and D. Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context.Everybody loves to hate invasive species. The international list of invasive species—defined as those that were introduced by humans to new places, and then __41__ —runs to over 4,000. In Australia and New Zealand hot war is fought against introduced creatures like cane toads (蔗蟾蜍) and rats.Some things that are uncontroversial (无争议的) are nonetheless foolish. With a few important exceptions, campaigns to __42__ invasive species are merely a waste of money and effort — for reasons that are partly practical and partly philosophical.Start with the practical arguments. Most invasive species are neither terribly successful nor very__43__. Britons think themselves surrounded by foreign plants. __44__, Britain’s invasive plants are not widespread, not spreading especially quickly, and often less of a(n) __45__ than vigorous native plants. The arrival of new species almost always __46__ biological diversity (多样性) in a region; in many cases, a flood of newcomers drives no native species to extinction. One reason is that invaders tend to colonise __47__ habitats like polluted lakes and post-industrial wasteland, where little else lives. They are nature’s opportunists.The philosophical reason for starting war on the invaders is also __48__. Elimination campaigns tend to be __49__ by the belief that it is possible to restore balance to nature — to return woods and lakes to the state before human __50__. That is misguided. Nature is an everlasting mess, with species constantly emerging, withdrawing and hybridizing(杂交). Humans have only quickened these processes. Going back to ancient habitats is becoming __51__ in any case, because of man-made climate change. Taking on the invaders is a(n) __52__ gesture, not a means to an achievable end.A reasonable attitude to invaders need not imply passivity. A few foreign species are truly __53__ and should be fought: the Nile perch – a fish, has helped drive many species of fish to extinction in Lake Victoria. It makes sense to __54__ pathogens (病菌), especially those that destroy whole native tree species, and to stop known agricultural pests from gaining a foothold. Fencing off wildlife reserves to create open-air ecological museums is fine, too. And it is a good idea for European gardeners to destroy Japanese plants, just as they give no apace to native harmful grasses like bindweed and ground elder. You can garden in a garden. You cannot garden __55__. That is universally accepted.41. A. multiplied B. shrunk C. disappeared D. harvested42. A. conserve B. eliminate C. investigate D. prioritize43. A. healthy B. intentional C. harmful D. profitable44. A. As a result B. For example C. By contrast D. In fact45. A. attraction B. dominance C. annoyance D. substitute46.

A. agriculture B. vegetation C. atmosphere D. natureSection BDirections: Read the following three passages. Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have read.(A)Jeremy Baras remembers the first time he ever saw apop-up a restaurant. The 26-year-old entrepreneur（企业家）was on vacation in England four years ago and had tolook up at the London Eye Ferries wheel to see it.Hanging above him was a capsule full of diners whowere served a new course each time a revolution wasmade. “I thought that was the coolest thing ever”, he says.Baras, who founded in 2012 topromote the idea of pop-up restaurants in USA, has beenstudying them ever since.Pop-ups, which have been around since at least the early 2000s, are open anywhere from a few hours to several months, but their defining feature is that they are temporary. They may be only a tiny part of the $709 billion U.S. restaurant industry, but popups have gotten a boost in recent years as a lower-cost, lower- risk wayfor entrepreneurs to test the waters. Some restaurant owners see them as a way to renew interest in existing locations. And some struggling cities, like Oakland, Calif., have turned to them to help revitalize local economies impacted by the recession（衰退）.The concept has been especially popular with up-and-coming chefs who want to test-drive as a menu concept without investing a fortune in a permanent space. “Your cooks and chefs are really talented, but they’re stuck in the back of somebody else’s kitchen cooking somebody else’s menu,”says Zach Kupperman, chief businessman officer and co-founder of Dinner Lab.Chefs in Dinner Lab cook in the middle of space, give a brief introduction about the menu and themselves —and then bravely listen to diner feedback afterward. Pop-ups’ temporary nature also allows restaurateurs to charge a deposit to make sure the diners will show up.Of course, trends in the food industry come and go quickly, and there is no guarantee that diners won’t tire of the concept. Some entrepreneurs have resorted to even a weirder locations —in a former limestone mine, say, or at the top of a crane —to keep customers interested. Says Baras, “It's not quite part of the mainstream economy yet.”56. What does the underlined part “a revolution was made” in Paragraph One possibly mean?A. Chefs designed creative dishes.B. Diners tasted food in an innovative way.C. The capsule containing diners made a circle.D. Great changes were made in the food industry.57. Which of the following might NOT be the reasons for pop-up restaurants’ fast development?A. Being temporary features pop-up restaurants.B. Pop-up restaurant can restore local economy to prosperity.C. Business owners venture into the business with fewer risks and investments.D. Restaurant owners can make diners interested in the original restaurants again.58. Perspective chefs are drawn to pop-ups due to the fact that__________________.A. pop-ups are becoming increasingly popular with diners worldwideB. they have the desire to explore a safer way to make a livingC. their investment in pop-ups will bring them a fortune on a permanent basisD. pop-ups provide a flexible test field for talented chefs’ originality59. The writer’s propose of writing the passenger is to___________________.A. appeal to people to dine out in pop-up restaurantsB. give a brief introduction of pop-up restaurantsC. warn business owners of the appearance of pop-up restaurantsD. foresee the future of pop-up restaurants’ development(B)In four countries with fast-developing economies (BRIC) –Brazil, Russia, India, and China –the agricultural sector hasbecome a proving ground for innovation. Juergen V oegele, aWorld Bank agriculture expert, predicts that “by transformingagriculture, we will not only meet the challenge of feeding ninebillion people by 2050 but do so in ways that create wealth andreduce its environmental footprint.”BRAZILSoybeans on the RisePreserving the Amazon rain forest is a top priority for Brazil.The rapid expansion of soybean and cattle farming there during the 1990s and early 2000s led to alarming rates of deforestation. Over the past ten years, however, with government support, activists and famers have protected more than 33,000 square miles of rain forest – an area equal to more than 14 million soccer fields. Saving these forests has kept 3.5 billion tons of carbon dioxide out of atmosphere.Yet even under these land restrictions, Brazil’s soybean production has increased. The country is now the world’s second largest producer of the crop. How did this happen?Farmers focused on efficiency. Using new machinery and early maturing seeds enabled them to squeeze an additional planting into the standard growing season.

Miguel de Cervantes (1547-1616), the author of Don Quixote, is to the Spanish what Shakespeare is to the English and Dante is to Italians - a national literary icon.Cervantes’book is still appreciated today, hundreds of years after its publication, because it’s a wonderfully truthful comedy. Don Quixote, like human beings generally, has great difficulty distinguishing reality from imagination. Readers may laugh at his strange behavior, but when we laugh, we laugh with recognition.The book records the adventures of Alonso Quijano, an older Spanish gentleman who loves romance novels. In truth, he reads far too many romances, and they have affected his mind. Quijano is so mixed up that he decides that he must become a knight himself. Imagine a comic book fan who decides to dress up as a superhero to fight crime, and you’ll get the picture.Setting the sceneAlonso Quijano reinvents himself as “Don Quixote de La Mancha”, an aristocratic（贵族的）name that suits his ambition of being a knight. Next, since every knight needs a horse, he finds himself an old one named Rocinante. But Rocinan te is not exactly cut out for life as a knight’s horse. He’s tired from years of farm work. He’s unlikely to be of much help in any fight against an enemy.The heroes in the romances Quijano reads all had a lady to love. They were highborn, like the knights themselves. Quijano chooses Aldonza Lorenzo, a farmer’s daughter, to be his beloved. She becomes “Dulcinea del Toboso”, or “the sweet woman of Toboso”. How does Aldonza feel about Quijano’s attentions? She doesn’t feel much at all, actu ally. Aldonza is yet another byproduct of Quijano’s imagination, like so many things. Finding a sidekickNow comes Cervantes’ second great creation: Sancho Panza. Once servant in Quijano’s house, Panza is promoted to the role of squire（随从）, because every self-respecting knight needs a squire. Panza has a sensible head on his shoulders, and he is a foil（衬托）to his foolish master.The pair faces many adventures, but none are as heroic as a knight’s should be. We laugh, rather than cry,as we read. Qui jano tries to act on behalf of justice, but he doesn’t often succeed.Cervantes’ novel inspired a word that sums up Quijano’s romantic nature: “quixotic”. In English we use the word to describe someone who is idealistic but foolish in pursuit of his ideals. It is a mark of Cervantes’ genius that he was able to identify this trait and personify it using such a great comedic character. We should appreciate him for it on this significant occasion.63. On what occasion did the author write this review?A. The 400th anniversary of the publication of Don Quixote.B. An Italian Poet, Dante’s 800th birth anniversary.C. An English genius, William Shakespeare’s 400th death anniversary.D. Miguel de Cervantes’ 400th anniversary of his death.64. Which role is Alonso Quijano most likely to identify with?A. Miguel de Cervantes.B. Don Quixote de La Mancha.C. Dulcinea del Toboso.D. Sancho Panza.65.What can be inferred from the passage?A. Don Quixote’s failure of distinguish reality f rom imagination amuses the readers.B. Quijano manages to bring justice to the world by means of force.C. Quijano is a Spanish aristocrat with great ambition.D. Reading romance novel will make people behave in a foolish way.66.According to the author, readers admire Cervantes and his masterpiece because .A.Cervantes is equal to Shakespeare and Dante as a national literary iconB.Quijano’s adventure is romantic and heroicC. Cervantes has a genius for personifying Quijano’s quixotic nature in a tru thful comedy.D. Quijano’s vivid imagination has brought other minor characters to lifeSection CDirections:Read the following passage. Fill in each blank with a proper sentence given in the box. Each sentence can be used only once. Note that there are two more sentences than you need.A. However, my work has its challenges.B. Then a second bit of inspiration came my way.C. Distressed as I was, I resolved to pursue my interest in research.D. Besides the spiritual reward, there are other less apparent benefits.E. So I decided to leave the academic path to find a better match.F. Here, at last, was a way to combine my interest in science with my passion for teaching.Ten years ago, after 2 years as a postdoc(博士后), I found myself wondering whether I should take a different road. Up to that point, I had stuck to a pretty traditional path investigating cancer genetics, but I waslosing interest in the research. At the same time, federal funding had flattened, which added to my dissatisfaction. ___67___ Then came the hard part: identifying a new career that would nurture my passion for science and allow me to make an impact with my work.As I was considering my options, I found inspiration in my first graduate school research tutor, whose work reminded me that scientists’ efforts away from the bench can be incredibly powerful. But I still didn’t know exactly what I should do. ___68___ A colleague mentioned that a professor at a nearby 2-year college was training students to produce monoclonal antibodies for labs on campus. I was impressed that the professor had taken on this type of ambitious project with relatively inexperienced students. Curious to find out more, I set up a meeting with John and was struck by his sincerity and the way he prioritized student training above grants, publications, and personal ambition. I could also see his passion for teaching, which reminded me of the dream to become a high school biology teacher.___69___ I found a faculty position and joined John at the same quiet junior college. Now, I effectively hold two positions: classroom instructor and research co-adviser of 15 inexperienced but eager undergraduates. Both roles give me a chance to help students transform themselves, which is enormously rewarding.___70___ It’s discouraging when others see both my students and me as less worthy because we are not at universities. We sometimes struggle to get access to federal funding, scientific conferences, and other resources and opportunities. My pay is below the standard at 4-year research institutions, even though my teaching workload is greater. But my occasional frustration is relieved by the thought of the students, who I have helped train.Looking back at these 10 years, I realize how much my work on this campus has helped me grow, both as an academic and a tutor. I’m grateful that I stepped away from a traditional career path and found a way to serve both the student and research communities in my own way, modest though it may be.IV. Summary Writing (10%)Directions: Read the following passage. Summarize the main idea and main point(s) of the passage in no more than 60 words. Use your own words as far as possible.Food is life. We eat it to grow, stay healthy, and have the energy to do everyday activities. The food we consume makes all of these things possible, but not all food is created equal. Studies have shown, for example, that children who eat a nutritious breakfast do better in school than those with a poor diet. The well-fed child is able to pay attention longer, remember more, and participate more actively in class. The findings, then, are clear. Because our food choices affect our health and behavior, we must do more than just eat; we must eat well. For many people today, though, making healthy food choices is not easy.We are surrounded by information telling us what’s good for us and what isn’t, but usually this information is more confusing than helpful. In fact, different research about the same food often produces contradictory results. In previous research on eggs, people were encouraged to limit or completely eliminate eggs from their diets to prevent dangerous diseases. Recent studies say eggs are good for you. It’s hard to know who to believe.Shopping for food can also be challenging. During a visit to a supermarket, we often need to make many different choices. Should you buy this cereal or that one? Regular or fat-free’ milk? Tofu or chicken? It’s hardto know which to choose, especially when two items are very similar. Many shoppers read product labels to help them decide. Indeed, many food labels are often misleading.Making healthy food choices and eating well do not have to be difficult. Doing simple things can result in a better diet and a healthier you. Urban gardening, which is becoming popular again is one such thing. On small pieces of land, neighbors are working together to grow fruit and vegetables. What are the benefits of these gardens? People have access to more fresh fruit and vegetables, especially poorer people who are less likely to spend money on these items. The food also cost less than it would in a supermarket. There are other benefits, too. Working together in the garden helps people to exercise. Urban gardens have also been used to teach children about food production and healthy eating.V. Translation (15%)Directions: Translate the following sentences into English, using the words given in the brackets.72.解除病人的痛苦是医生的职责。
1.What kind of person, or I may say, politician do you think Obama is?The answer:He’s a real man who have gone through tough days and overcome a world of struggles. No cross, no crown. Growing up in a single- parent family doesn’t leave any shadow in his character; on the contrary it helps him become an aggressive, optimistic and smart president of America. I like his smile which appears exhausted, excited, relaxed, gracious, open, yet somehow elusive and brings warmth and strength to those around him and even watching him in front of television. By the way, photographer Peter Y ang’s picture named《The President’s smile》won Rolling Stone Magazine Cover of the Y ear 2008 award. He has a strong will to help the Americans go through the hardship of the global financial crisis and keep America the wealthiest country in the world. He tries to let people all over the world benefit from himself and the country he is in charge of. But，as a President of America he will do everything to ensure the profit of his own country, just like Bush and any other president in America history. He, a man who don’t want to copy any one else, wants change. Change in policy, change in education, change in social security and Medicare, and so on. Sometimes he may appear a bit of a rebel but he shows respects to not only those who have made contributions to America but those who are good to the whole world and human being as well.2.Why dose Obama chose ShangHai instead of Beijing as his first stop in China? Is China approving the Disney project just to greet President Obama? Will SHDL be a threat to the Hong Kong one?The answer:Personally I think, you know, Americans see as heroes those individuals who “stand out form the crowed”by doing something first, longest, most often, or otherwise “best”, so it is because of other American president all choose Beijing as the first stop that Obama, who always want to “change”, choose Shanghai. And perhaps for that reason, he gives a speech in Fu Dan not Tsinghua or Peking University. What’s more it was in SH, 37 years ago, that the Shanghai Communique opened the door to a new chapter of engagement between our governments and among our people. Moreover, no doubt that Shanghai is the economic center of China and lots of international corporations have chosen SH as their headquarters in China or even Asia. So choosing SH as the first stop in China implies that the main purpose of his coming to China is Economic，despite the saying “The main purpose of my trip is to deepen my understanding of China and its vision of the future”. As to the second question, my opinion is: no. China isn't approving the Disney project just to save President Obama’s face, but to add to Shanghai's attraction as a tourist destination, although there are still uncertainties and obstacles hindering Shanghai's recovery from the global financial crisis. There had been some critical which said SHDL and HKDL might be each others’ opponents. But I think not, for people in eastern China will go to SHDL, while HK's will mainly attract people from southern China.3.What about the speech Obama gave in Fudan? What’s his main purpose? What dose it imply? Incidentally, don’t you think President Obama is a bit of too “modest”this time? It’s so abnormal!The answer:Firstly, I think it give us a signal that the US sees China as its partner, not a rival. It’s obvious that he believe strong dialogue is important, saying“I am very sorry that my Chinese is not as good as your English”, which tactfully implies that Americans doesn’t know Chinese as well as Chinese knowAmericans. It is easy to see that now American need the cooperation between China and itself because China, which has lifted hundreds of millions of people out of poverty -- an accomplishment unparalleled in human history -- while playing a larger role in global events, is a very powerful country and has a great influence over the development of America and even the whole world. Obama thought it is important for the two countries to improve the academic and cultural communication and learn from each other. China is an ancient nation, with a deeply rooted culture while the United States is a young nation, whose culture is determined by the many different immigrants who have come to its shores, and by the founding documents that guide its democracy so we have many complementarities. For the reason that China holds a large amount of US government debt—over $800 billion in Treasury bonds, or otherwise China is its largest banker. So, sorry Obama, but you have to be “modest”.4. If you have a chance to ask Obama a question, what will it be?The answer:I’d ask him “Y our Majesty what do you think of the Nobel Peace Price？”As we all know, it’s less than nine months into his eventful presidency that he received an unexpected honor that elicited praise and puzzlement around the globe. It seemed a kind of prayer and encouragement by the Nobel committee for future endeavor and more consensual American leadership after the Nobel committee recognized Obama's efforts at dialogue to solve complex global problems, including working toward a world free of nuclear weapons.5. Do you think Disney Land will catch on in China?The answer:It will be a little difficult. First, it is not easy to accept a foreign culture like Disney. There are times when Communist Party officials in Beijing argue that Chinese culture may somehow be diluted or poisoned by exposure to American cartoon characters, music and movies. Secondly, Disney is very strict with the development degree of the area it wants to cooperate with. And the request for public facilities around is almost harsh. Few cities have what it takes to build a Disney. Last but not least important is that going to Disney land can cost a relatively higher than other amusement places, I am worrying about whether Chinese are rich enough to go. However, on the other hand, SH is such a great place of business, or otherwise I may say people who go to SH are those who are rich or is going to be rich, so there is a good reason that SHDL will make profit, since you know two businessmen can discuss an affair while playing golf, so why can’t they do it in Disney? Take things as they come; we are becoming richer after all, aren’t we?6. Do you think exchanging students will work to improve the academic and cultural communication between the two countries?The answer:I think it won’t work in a short term. What we need isn’t a four year promise from Obama that he will sent 100 thousand of college students to China. It will do little good to the communication between China and the US. If not done continuously even after America has paid off the “debts”it owes to China, this will be regarded simply as a political tick Obama plays on China, an excuse to please his banker aiming at borrowing more money. Then there comes another question, the students going to be send to China for communication are mainly grown-ups in college, whose life philosophy and word view have already been developed, it will be hard for them to understand, let alone accept Chinese culture. So, in a nutshell, the drinker's heart is not in the cup.7. What opinion do you hold on studying abroad? Do you think we will benefit from it?The answer:Firstly, studying abroad is such an optimal way to learn a language that some parents spent much money sending their children abroad simply to help them have a good knowledge of a certain foreign language. Furthermore it provides the opportunity to travel and allows you get to know another culture first-hand. Y ou know, nowadays it is of great importance to get good understanding of people from other nations and their culture to avoid culture conflicts when working together. Studying abroad will also help you develop skills and give you experiences a classroom setting will never do. What is most interesting is that it affords you the opportunity to make friends around the world during which you can learn about yourself and expands your worldview. Lastly, it gives you the opportunity to break out of your academic routine and enhances employment opportunities. The most important thing you must keep in mind is that your motivation must be learning advanced technology from other countries to fight against them. Y ou must come back to Mother after the “learning”.8. Which major worth being studied abroad?The answer:Management (US, UK, & France), IT (US, Ireland, Korea), Biology (US, Germany, Singapore), Finance and Economics (US, UK), Political Science and Law (US, UK, Australia) are the five hot majors for students who want to study abroad. My advice is better not to change the original one you learn in college.9. What must be done before we went abroad?The answer:A lot of work and planning is needed to ensure that your time overseas is both successful and recognized by your home college or university. To that end, there are a few important things to consider: Language proficiency, course credit, passport and immunizations. First, you must think ahead and ensure that you attain proficiency in the language of your host country no later than the end of your sophomore year in college. Second, you should realize that most colleges and universities have a Junior Year Abroad (JYA) Committee that oversees students' applications to various overseas programs, coordinates arrangements, and makes determinations about the portability of course credit from those programs back to your original school. If you're interested in going abroad during your junior year, attend the information sessions provided by your college's JYA Committee and apprise yourself of the deadlines governing your application to foreign study programs. Before allowed to go abroad, you need to have an up-to-date passport and, for many countries, a schedule of your inoculations. If you're seriously considering time abroad, don't wait until the last minute to gather these required documents — as it can take six to eight weeks to get your passport back if it needs renewal.10. How can we pass the numerous, difficult examinations? Especially for those who are not English major, it’s a struggle to pass the English level test such as: GRE and IELTS.11. Is financial aid Available for Study Abroad? What types of financial aid are available?The answer:The Higher Education Act of 1992 mandated that a student can receive financial aid for study abroad if the student is enrolled in a program approved by the home institution. Moreover, the student would be eligible to receive "grants, loans, or work assistance without regard to whether the study abroad program is required as a part of the student's degree." Federal and state governments, foundations, and private and public organizations are primary sources of financial aid. Be sure to check with your financial aid director, study abroad advisor or bursar about whether your financial aid can apply to study abroad. Additionally, if you are planning to attend an overseas study program sponsored byanother institution, the home institution, through a written agreement between the schools, might allow you to use your financial aid. But students should realize that policies vary among institutions of higher education and therefore, should check with their study abroad advisors and financial aid administrators regarding enrollments with another institution. If you are a girl, apply for AAUW fellowships and grants could be a great choice. For more than a century, AAUW has helped more than 10,000 women from more than 130 countries to break through barriers and to pursue their dreams of obtaining graduate degrees or making an impact in their communities.12. Do you think America is an ideal place to go? Or can you give us some other countries available?The answer:I think so. The vast wealth of resources in America makes it possible for us to study almost every field of study available in other country and have supporting industries, training and research. America have, I may say “endless”world class learning institutions which is not limited to: Stanford University, Harvard, Y ale, Cornell, California Institute of Technology, UC Berkeley, University of Pennsylvania, MIT, John Hopkins, and Northwestern University. A degree or certificate from a college or university is useless if it is not recognized by employers. Therefore, it is of the utmost importance to ensure that the degree from the school you choose is recognized in the place you plan to use it in. Colleges and universities in America are given worldwide recognition. For other countries which you can go as a second choice, en, I’d like to say Australia. Many students go to Australia for further study every year. Y ou may go there if you are particular about living standard and have plenty of money for it. What’s more, it is the only country in the world with an Education Services for Overseas Students. UK is famous for its high standards and modern facilities which you can enjoy without paying too much money. In addition, if you want to learn something rare for example: Sankrit and Ayurveda, Y oga, Hindi, go to India.13. As you have the experience to work with foreigners, would you please give some pieces of advice to those who are going to study abroad? What must be done in order to quickly adapt to the school life, academic life and social life abroad? Take America for example.。

Teenagers often experience a lot of stress, especially during their academic years. Engaging in physical activities can help reduce stress levels and improve mental health. One study found that regular physical exercise can increase the levels of endorphins, the body’s natural painkillers, which in turn can improve mood and reduce anxiety.Moreover, physical exercise has been proven to enhance academic performance. Research shows that students who participate in regular physical activities tend to have better grades than those who do not. This is because physical exercise promotes better sleep, which is essential for memory consolidation and learning.
