Once you have a country in mind,contact educational departments and do a research of its local media.These will often point you towards the universities that are well-regarded.Remember,bigger universities often have better resources and tools to help foreign students.
Another way to find a foreign university is to see what universities partner up with your local universities in exchange programmes,and then contact the foreign university directly.They often have someone who can help point you in the right direction.

If you are going into senior high school,it’s important that you realise how different it is going to be. 1 In order to succeed in study,new senior high school students need to have great study skills.Here are some important study strategies to help you.
1. 2
First of all,be prepared for your classes and make sure you concentrate on the teachers’ lectures.Make a good impression on every teacher with your good attitude rather than your smart brain.Besides,make sure you do all homework,including the science experiments that you are asked to do after class.It is also advisable for you to find and study together with a partner whose learning style is similar to you.You will find a partner’s company can make your study more interesting.
2.Taking Good Notes
Taking good notes is very important for senior high school students.Make sure that you are well prepared with notebooks or flash cards so you can take notes.Although you can’t write down every single thing a teacher says,you do need to learn to write down the most important things.Revising old notes regularly is a must. 3
3.Setting Goals and Meeting Them
Many junior high school students don’t do well in school because they don’t set any goals for themselves.Have yourself set goals in classes of how you want to perform(表现). 4 If you start out by setting goals that are too high,it will only lead to a lot of disappointment.
4.Staying Organised
5 You should learn to have a place for all your study things,such as notebooks,pens,books,and other things so you don’t lose them.Organisation is a skill that will help students improve grades,since they won’t have the problem of losing homework or forgetting about important tests.

“Hungary ” I looked at my school headmaster in confusion.“I never mentioned wanting to go to Hungary.” And with that,my adventure started.
My name is Jonathan Diamond and I just finished an amazing school exchange year in Hungary.
Going on an exchange had always been my dream.When my high school offered an all-year programme,I jumped at the opportunity.It would pay for almost everything and all I had to do was buy a plane ticket.I knew where I wanted to go:Spain,the country of dancers wearing flowing red dresses.So when I heard that I was going to Hungary,I was pretty shocked.But I decided to make the best of it,since it was,after all,a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.Before I knew it,I was on the airplane,leaving for Budapest Ferenc Liszt International Airport,Hungary.
I had difficult times when I almost gave up.Hungarian is the hardest language on the planet.Cultural differences occasionally embarrassed(使尴尬) both my peers(同龄人) and me.I had to give up eating carrots,my beautiful favourite,for Hungarians think carrots are rubbish in their country.The change in the landscape was amazing,looking nothing like skyscrapers,bullet trains,cars,and people in tiny houses that I had been accustomed(习惯于) to.Gradually,I fell in love with the relaxing lifestyle,the warm-hearted people,and getting home at 2:30 p.m.at the latest from school.And I was sad to leave on my very last day.
Having the host family who took me as one of their own members was the best thing I’ve ever experienced.From my little sisters,I learned how to embrace life to its fullest.From my brothers I learned that it’s OK for a boy to run around the house.From my host parents I learned to stay positive,to smile and that when you pick the right people and take their hands,suddenly,you become friends.
1.How did Jonathan feel when he was told to go to Hungary
A.Excited and satisfied.
B.Confused and shocked.
C.Amazed and embarrassed.
D.Delighted and interested.
答案B

A.He didn’t like Spain.
B.He wanted to learn Hungarian.
C.It was a rare chance.
D.Going to Hungary was much cheaper.
答案C

3.What can we learn about Jonathan during his stay in Hungary
A.He was attracted by the landscape.
B.He lived a very relaxing life there.
C.He fell in love with eating carrots.
D.He quickly got used to the life there.
答案A

四、七选五阅读理解
Everyone wants to be happy every day,but sometimes we come across some problems which make us feel bad.There are a few ways that we can use to help ourselves to be happier every day.
1
When looking at your goals,remember to look at how far you have come towards achieving them.When you measure yourself against your goals,you will always have a negative feeling.When you measure yourself against where you started,you will be recognising your achievements,and those deserve to be celebrated.
Make gratitude(感谢) lists.
Expressing your appreciation for what you have is an important happiness strategy. 2 If you’re having trouble thinking of things,you may be thinking too small.You need to widen your view.You can think about nature:the trees,the sun and the sound of a running stream.You can also think about people:family and friends with whom you are grateful to have a relationship. 3
Help other people.
There are many benefits that come from helping others,whether helping someone you know or volunteering for a community. 4 Studies have shown that people who volunteer live longer.Volunteering is also a great tool in the fight against depression because it’s easier to temporarily forget your problems when you turn your attention to the needs of others. 5
Use these tips in all areas of your life,and you will have a happier life!
A.You’ve probably heard this before.
B.We all have much to be grateful for.
C.Besides it’s an extremely pleasing activity.
D.It’s one that is worth doing on a daily basis.
E.Measure your progress not your distance to the goal.
F.Be sure to make it a daily practice to celebrate your achievements.
G.Volunteering proves to be good for your health and your happiness.

Here’s the story of my growth over the past year.If anyone is inspired(激励) by this,that’s wonderful.
I’d been stuck as this under-confident,fat and just frightened girl for years and years and years.Since I was a little girl,I’d been stuck like this,and I had lived a life where I’d be afraid of everything.But then it all started changing.Something clicked,and in over a period of six months I finally managed to stick to one of my diets,bringing me from overweight straight down to underweight.This proved(证明) that I could change myself.
One single time,I heard about a public speaking thing going on at my university,and for the first time,I managed to keep up the courage to go there.For the first time I was able to share my story,and able to do it in front of so many people possibly judging(评判) me,and suddenly all the fears about speaking publicly started vanishing.I never felt more confident.
This taught me I could get rid(去除) of my fears.It was from that point on that my road to change went from a rocky mess to a full-on empty highway.
Using the fact that I could change,and that I could get rid of my fears,I started working on them one by one.My fear of talking to strangers,my fear of asking simple questions,my fear of hanging out with people,my fear of being myself...All of them were gone.And I still continue to progress to this day.I’ve never stopped.
