How do you make yourself feel at home when you study abroad My answer is to make friends.
Last year, I joined an international organization called AFS. It tries to connect people and their different cultures. It attracted many international students. Earlier this month, we had our first winter cultural camp.
First, we played some games to break the ice. The most exciting one was the Blinder Game. We were separated into eight groups, each with three people. One of them must close his or her eyes to act “blind”. Then the other two must help him or her walk through obstacles and tasks.
In my group, was the “blind” one. At first, I always wanted to stop for a moment. It seemed that when I couldn’t see anything, my fears came out. But my teammates gave me their hands and led me every step of the way, I began to trust them. They led me during the obstacle course and I touched a dog and even jumped on a trampoline (蹦床).
Through this game, I learned trust itself is a process. Even if they are strangers, you can still trust them. I got closer to my teammates through this activity.
Then we had a talent show. Students from Spain, Latin America, Thailand and other countries performed their traditional dances. For me, I chanted an ancient Chinese poem. It seemed like I was singing, but I actually wasn’t. My friends were amazed.
I made many god friends. Although we came from different countries, we became close like a family. It was really amazing!

Think of a simple object — a piece of chalk, for example. Are you remembering its name, its shape, its color or its size Are you remembering what it is used for, or the sound it makes when the teacher writes on the blackboard Scientists say that memory includes different parts of the brain, such as language and the ability of sense. They believe that you begin to create a memory when you notice something with your senses. Then messages are sent to different brain cells, which join together to form connections. A new connection goes into your short-term memory. It is stored there for about 30 seconds, and then it is either lost or stored in your long-term memory.
Having a good memory means making lots of connections and storing them in your long-term memory. To do this, you need to keep your brain in good shape. Eat plenty of brain food such as fish oil, fruit and vegetables. Laughter also makes your brain more active. Also, don’t forget to exercise. So do some sports or just move around a lot in the house. Finally, get plenty of sleep. This will make your memories grow stronger.
When you want to remember new information, you must pay special attention. Use your senses — sight, smell hearing and touch — and keep repeating the information. To do well in your exams this year, turn off the TV, silence your mobile, and review your work regularly. To remember something special, use your imagination to create visual connections. For example, you need to take a pencil, an eraser, your ID card and chips to your next exam. Imagine the ID card as the body of an animal, the pencil its long neck, and the eraser its head. Your animal is hungry, so now imagine it eating a bag of chips. It may sound crazy, but its fun and it works. Another way is to do something different to your room. Turn a picture upside-down, or tie a sock around the door handle to remind yourself of something to remember!
9. What’s the author’s intention of giving an example in the beginning
A. To show the importance of chalk. B. To lead in the topic of this article.
C. To let readers remember the word. D. To make readers know his favorite.
10. According to Paragraph 2, which is NOT the way to have a good memory
A Plenty of sleep. B. Enough exercise. C. Good shape of your brain. D. Laughter.
11. Paragraph 3 mainly talks about________.
A. how to remember new information B. how to do well in exams
C. why to review your work D. what to eat to make memories stronger
12. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage
A. Memory has nothing to do with languages. B. A picture of eating chips is the most useful.
C. Our brain is dificult to keep in good shape D. Laughter can help to improve our memory

Think of a simple object — a piece of chalk, for example. Are you remembering its name, its shape, its color or its size Are you remembering what it is used for, or the sound it makes when the teacher writes on the blackboard Scientists say that memory includes different parts of the brain, such as language and the ability of sense. They believe that you begin to create a memory when you notice something with your senses. Then messages are sent to different brain cells, which join together to form connections. A new connection goes into your short-term memory. It is stored there for about 30 seconds, and then it is either lost or stored in your long-term memory.
Having a good memory means making lots of connections and storing them in your long-term memory. To do this, you need to keep your brain in good shape. Eat plenty of brain food such as fish oil, fruit and vegetables. Laughter also makes your brain more active. Also, don’t forget to exercise. So do some sports or just move around a lot in the house.

To do well in your exams this year, turn off the TV, silence your mobile, and review your work regularly. To remember something special, use your imagination to create visual connections.

Your animal is hungry, so now imagine it eating a bag of chips. It may sound crazy, but its fun and it works. Another way is to do something different to your room. Turn a picture upside-down, or tie a sock around the door handle to remind yourself of something to remember!

Some students agree with the idea. If so, they won’t feel lonely and there will always be someone to play with. Besides, if their parents get older or ill, they can take turns to look after them. However, some students disagree. They worry that they will get less love from their parents if another child comes to the family.
