The cost of living in countries like the U. S., Britain, Australia or France has skyrocketed in recent years. However, if you're willing to leave your country and explore life in other areas, there are many countries boasting an extremely cheap and low cost of living. Check out the following countries when planning your next move.
Ecuador
Ecuador is similar to the United States in many ways, and as a result has become a popular American getaway. They even use the U. S dollars for their currency（货币）, In this country, it's cheaper to eat out every day than cook for yourself on a budget in the U. S. You can even buy a building for around $50. 000 and hire someone to look after it while you're away.
Mexico
Although the country is known for its poverty-ridden streets, there are many wealthier areas that provide every facility you might need. You can live off a mere $700 to $800a month in Mexico, and this includes rent for a nice place, facilities, food, and any sightseeing.

Argentina has been a popular tourist destination for many years. It has great restaurants, a rich history, and many places to explore. Not to mention, it's not very expensive to live here. A decent sized home can cost around $139, 000, which is relatively cheap in relation to homes in the United States.
Vietnam

Inside a brightly-lit classroom, around 20 schoolchildren are singing the Chinese national anthem. That song is followed by another tune in Chinese—one typically sung during the Lunar New Year. But this scene is not taking place in a Chinese school but at Lakewood Premier school, thousands of kilometers away in Nairobi（内罗比）. Here, schoolchildren are learning Mandarin, a language spoken by nearly 1 billion people almost 8, 000 kilometers away from their home. More will join their ranks in 2020 when Mandarin will be officially taught in all Kenyan schools alongside French, Arabic and German, which are already on the curriculum.
Sandra Wanjiru, 13, is one of hundreds of African schoolchildren who are increasingly skilled in the Chinese language. Lakewood Premier School, where Wanjiru studies, has begun the program a year early to give its pupils a head start. "I chose to learn Chinese first not only because it's interesting to learn a foreign language but also because I would want to travel and do business in China, "said Wanjiru.
Julius Jwan. CEO of the Kenya Institute of Curriculum Development(KICD), told Chinese state-owned Chinese news agency Xinhua; "The place of China in the world economy has also grown to be so strong that Kenya stands to benefit if its citizens can understand Mandarin. " China has become increasingly powerful across Africa over the past two decades. Through President Xi Jinping's flagship Belt and Road Initiative, China has loaned money to African countries to build highways, dams, stadiums and airports.
Henry Adramunguni, a specialist at Uganda's National Curriculum（课程）Development Centre, said Mandarin was included in the curriculum because it is one of the United Nations' languages of work. "We want to give the opportunity for our young Ugandans to have access to jobs, education and business beyond our borders. That's why we've given them this opportunity to learn Chinese, "he said.
24. What's the function of Paragraph 1
A. It tells readers Chinese is being taught in Africa.
B. It introduces a topic for the following paragraphs.
C. It tells readers many languages are being taught in Africa.
D. It stresses how important to learn the Chinese national anthem.
25. What made Sandra Wanjiru learn Chinese language at last
A. The language was very easy.
B. He found it was interesting.
C. The school asked him to learn.
D. The language will help him a lot in the future.
26. How did China help African countries
A. China built many schools for Africa. B. China shared the curriculum.
C. China lent money to begin building. D. China let Africans go to China.
27. What did Henry Adramunguni think of students' learning Mandarin
A. It was necessary. B. It was useless.
C. It was not beneficial. D. It was not profitable.
C
When there are some strangers in front of us, which of them will we trust
According to a new study in the online PLOS One, people make their decisions to trust others largely based on their faces. Your appearance can do a lot for you, especially if you are in the financial industry. The more trustworthy you look, the more likely people will buy what you're selling.
Researchers from Britain's University of Warwick Business School, University College London, and Dartmouth College, US, did a number of experiments,
The research team used computer software to make 40 faces, from the least to the most trustworthy-looking. The study said that the difference between a trustworthy face and one that isn't as trustworthy comes from features that look slightly angry or slightly happy, even when the face is at rest. However, a slightly happy face is more likely to be trusted. Researchers gave participants some money and asked them which face they trusted to invest the money for them. Then researchers gave some good and bad information about the people with these faces, and asked the participants again whom they trusted. The results showed that even if they got different information, the participants didn't change their choices. They were still more likely to invest their money with the more trustworthy-looking faces.
Chris Olivola, one of the study's authors, said in the University of Warwick's press release: "It seems we are still willing to go with our own instincts about whether we think someone looks like we can trust them. "
28. According to the study, which of the following faces is most likely to be trusted
A. A slightly smiling face. B. A disappointed face.
C. An embarrassed face. D. A nervous face.
29. What do we know about the experiments
A. The trustworthy faces were given good information.
B. Researchers took photos of the 40 people's faces in colleges.
C. Participants liked to choose the faces with good information.
D. Most participants gave their money to the trustworthy-looking faces.
30. Which of the following best explains "instincts" underlined in the last paragraph
A. Opinions that grow out of social practice.
B. Judgments that are easily changed by others.
C. Good information that are given by people around.
D. Feelings rather than opinions or ideas based on facts.
31. What is the text mainly about
A. Why people trust a stranger with good appearance.
B. People usually judge strangers according to their faces.
C. How different information affects people's decisions.
D. Why the research team carried out the experiment.
D
An author who surveyed 600 millionaires has claimed that she found the secrets of getting rich. Sarah Stanley Fallaw, the author of The Next Millionaire Next Door: Enduring Strategies for Building Wealth, got her findings after she surveyed American millionaires in 2015 and 2016. The book is a follow-up to her father's research in the 1998 bestseller The Millionaire Next Door, which Thomas J. Stanley wrote with William D. Danko.
Stanley Fallaw argues that resilience（抗逆力）in the face of refusal and strict goal setting are important to building wealth. "To build wealth, to build one's own business, to ignore critics and media and neighbors, you must have the ambition to keep pursuing your goals past refusal and pain, "wrote Stanley Fallaw in the new book, according to Business Insider. She added, "Millionaires and other economically successful Americans who decide to climb the corporate ladder（企业晋升制度）, or struggle to create a financial independence lifestyle early do so by pushing on without stop. "
Stanley Fallaw stresses the importance of setting goals and sticking to them, especially for budgeting. She says that living modestly even as your income grows will allow you to devote a greater percentage of your income towards savings and building wealth. "Most millionaires we interviewed stressed the great freedom that comes from spending below their means, "Stanley Fallaw writes.
The author says that the temptation（诱惑）to keep up with the spending habits of the people around can be highly harmful to building wealth. Particularly in the age of social media, when lavish（浪费的）vacations and new purchases are broadcast for the world to see, the perseverance（坚持）to live thriftily（节俭地）is important, Stanley Fallaw argues.
32. How does Sarah Stanley Fallaw find the secret of getting rich
A. According to her own life experiences.
B. By doing surveys on the American millionaires.
C. Following her father's book The Millionaire Next Door.
D. Following her father's partner William D. Danko's advice.
33. Which is NOT the important quality for building wealth according to Stanley Fallaw
A. Sticking to your goals. B. Living a thrifty life.
C. Paying attention to others' critics. D. Persevering through failure.
34. Which is harmful for people to build wealth
A. To spend below their means. B. To follow others' spending habits.
C. To keep away from lavish vacations. D. To avoid the temptation of new purchases.
35. What is the best title of the passage
A. What People Should Read B. Why We Need Strict Goals
C. When People Will Become Millionaires D. How Millionaires Get Rich

Good morning, ladies and gentlemen. I'm Wendy Chang with an update on the newest train route to join China's Belt and Road trade project. The Luxembourg-to-Chengdu shipping route is now open for business. Located right between France and Germany, Luxembourg is a great destination for shipments to reach the rest of Western Europe. The railway route between the two cities is the latest in the series of new trading routes between China and Europe. The whole project is expected to create thousands of new jobs and billions of dollars in trade. In 2015, the route from China to Germany took 15 days. In 2017, a railway route between Italy and China opened up. That journey took about 18 days to complete. The journey from Luxembourg to Chengdu is expected to take about 16 days. We hope to open up more routes in the future, and that is why we are asking you to consider opening up offices in Luxembourg. Our business is your business, and we will work together to make more business for everyone involved.
