As China opens its door, it is a dream for many Chinese students to study abroad. They want to learn about the outside world.Its true that studying abroad can help students develop themselves. Their foreign language skills will be improved and it may be easier to find jobs. But there are problems that should be considered. Language is the first. Students must spend a lot of time learning another language. Students must also learn to live without parents care and do with all kinds of things they havent had to do before, like looking after themselves. There are reports about Chinese students abroad sinking into an ocean of difficulties and giving up finally. When they have to take care of themselves, it is hard for students to study well.Finally, studying abroad brings a heavy burden* to the family. For most Chinese parents, the cost of studying abroad is very high. But is it worth? We know that there are many famous people who succeed in great things through their hard work in China. Liu Xiang is a good example. Once an American teacher invited him there, but he refused. He kept training hard with his Chinese coach. He surprised the world when he won a gold medal at the Athens Olympic Games. So when you wonder which country is better to study in, think again.26.

B Think of life as a game in which you are playing with five balls in the air. You name them work, family, health, friends and spirit and you keep all of them in the air. You will soon understand that work is a rubber ball. If you drop it, it will bounce back.But the other four balls, family, health, friends and spirit, are made of glass. If you drop one of these, it will be broken and never be the same. You must understand that and try to have balance in your life. How ?Dont look down on your worth by comparing yourself with others. It is because we are different and each of us is special.Dont let other people set goals for you. Only you know what is best for yourself.Dont give up when you still have something to give. Nothing is really over until the moment you stop trying.Dont be afraid of difficulties. It is by taking chances that we learn how to be brave.Dont shut love out of your life by saying its impossible. The quickest way to receive love is to give it; the fastest way to lose love is to hold it too tightly; the best way to keep love is to give it wings.Dont run through life so fast that you forget not only where youve been, but also where you are going.Dont be afraid to learn. Knowledge is weightless. Its a treasure you can always carry easily.Dont use time or words carelessly. You cant get them back. Yesterday is history, tomorrow is a mystery*, and today is a gift; thats why we call it “the present”. Life is not a competition, but a trip, step by step.29.

Things You Cant Do D. Nothing Is Impossible CIndian scientists have designed a new device* that they hope will solve one of the biggest problems with the use of solar energy. They call the device a solar tree. Solar trees have metal “branches*” which are just from a tall pole at different levels. Each branch holds a solar panel*. These panels have large metal boards that collect energy from the sun and turn it into electricity.Daljit Singh Bedi is the main scientist at the Council of Scientific and Industrial Research in India. Bedi says the shape of the solar trees makes it possible to fit more solar panels in a space than traditional systems do. This means less land would be needed to produce solar energy. “It takes about four square meters of space to produce energy which may need 400 square meters of space,” he says.Scientists believe the energy a solar tree collects will be enough to power five homes. The solar tree will make it easier to provide solar energy for homes in cities. The trees will also take less space from farmers in rural areas. Bedi says solar trees will collect more energy than normal solar panels on the tops of buildings. “This design makes the solar panels exposed* more towards the sun,” he says. “And that way people are able to use 10 to 15 percent more energy.”India has promised to reduce its greenhouse gas production. The countrys promise depends heavily on increasing solar energy. The cost of solar panels has gone down in recent years. This has increased the possibility of applying*solar trees in India.Amit Kumar is the senior director of the Energy and Resources Institute in New Delhi. He says gaining access* to land takes time and increases costs. He adds that it is still not clear how useful these new developments in solar power technology are. “Only when we put those trees on a large scale* will we be able to get that answer,” he says.33. We may probably read this passage in _.A. Culture Views B. Nature and ScienceC. Story Books D. Travelling Guide Book34. Compared the traditional system, the main advantages of the solar tree is _. A. we can see many “branches” in new solar tree B. it surely produces more energy than traditional system C. its reducing Indias more greenhouse gas production now D. fewer and fewer people will use it than traditional ones35. What does the underlined word this in the fourth paragraph refer to (指代)？ A. greenhouse gas production B.the solar panelsC. the new solar tree D. countrys promise36. In the last paragraph, what do you think of what Amit Kumar said?_D Few of us have heard of Nils Bohlin, but whenever we take a car journey his invention makes us safer. Found in almost every modern car, the three-point seat belt reduces our chances of death or injury* by at least 50% . While feeling thankful to this engineer from Volvo, you may also wonder how he came up with such a great idea.Having worked as a plane designer before, Nils knew clearly that the pilots were willing to put on anything to keep them safe in an accident, but to his surprise, most people in the cars just didnt want to be uncomfortable for even a minute. To improve the safety for people in the cars, he decided to find a perfect system which should be simple, effective and convenient. In the end, he invented the three-point seat belt, which has been considered as one of the greatest inventions in history.Seat belts prevent people in the cars from serious injury in five ways.Keep people inside. People who are thrown out from a car are four times more likely to be killed than those who stay inside.Protect the strongest parts of the body. Seat belts are designed to fix your body at its strongest parts. For an older child and adult, these parts are the hips* and shoulders.Spread out the force* in an accident. Seat belts spread the force of the accident over a wide area of the body. By putting less stress on one area, they can help you avoid serious injury. Help the body to slow down, A quick speed causes injury. With the help of the seat belts, your body can have more time to slow down in an accident.Protect your brain and spinal cord*. These two key parts injuries may be hard to see immediately, but they can cause death. Therefore, its of great importance to protect these parts. It takes only a few seconds to buckle* up once you get in the car, but this simple action could save your life. Why wouldnt you?37.
