This month,Travelers Corner has three teenagers’ experiences in year-abroad programs.
Tomomi Okada-Japan My year abroad in the USA was a fantastic experience. I’m not a shy person, and I was very comfortable speaking to everyone. So I got lots of speaking practice.

TIn order to show that showering isn't a big deal, an American hasn't taken a shower for 12 years. Instead, he sprays (喷洒) himself with something special that is said to have kept him clean over the years.
Dave Whitlock, a chemical engineer, thinks no fact can show that bathing is a healthy practice. “I haven't taken a shower for 12 years,” he says. “In fact, the chemical (化学物) in our soap have killed all the friendly bacteria (细菌) that live on our skin when we use it.”

Whitlock isn't a biologist (生物学家), but he has tried his best to invent (创造) a kind of spray died “Mother Dirt” with friendly bacteria Whitlock says the bacteria in the spray can take in (吸收) something dirty on our skin and produce a kind of chemical which is good for our body.
Now the spray is being produced in a company which Whitlock has helped to set up. The spray has no smell and feels just like water. It can be sprayed all over the skin twice a day to avoid showering.

In modern society, living without money sounds almost impossible. However, that's exactly what an Australian couple from a big city has been doing for nearly a whole year.
Rachel Newby, 25, and Liam Culbertson, 27, have come up with creative ways of making it through the year without spending any money. They built themselves a new house. The house was made of used wood and recycled materials. They grew their own food, and at times they didn't hesitate to look for food in the dustbins.
But this year has been quite difficult. The soil in their garden was too poor to grow vegetables. The climate (气候) there was terrible as well. They kept moving their home till they finally lived in a 2.5-square-meter house. They collected cold rainwater to take a shower. What's worse, they had to share a toilet with the rest of the community.
They had no jobs, but they didn't have a lot of free time to waste. They spent most of the day working for local farmers planting vegetables and picking fruit so that they could get their next meal. They had five ducks that could provide them with fresh eggs. But when there wasn't enough food for them, they had to go to look for food in the dustbins.
Not everyone is brave enough to do this. But they really made it work and they felt happy.
9．What did the Australian couple live without money for?
A．Teaching people a lesson.
B．Their jobs.
C．Local farmers.
D．A special experience.
10．How did the Australian couple feed themselves?

B．They lived mainly on the food in the dustbins.
C．They tried their best to get everything necessary themselves.
D．They expected other people to give food to them.
11．What does the underlined word “hesitate” mean in Chinese?
A．坚持 B．犹豫 C．决心 D．愿意
12．The writer might feel the Australian couple are ________.
A．a bit strange B．very brave
C．young and smart D．very funny
13．What can we infer from the passage?
A．The Australian couple hated the city life so they lived in the country.
B．The Australian couple would continue to live there for the rest of their life.
C．Nothing is impossible as long as you use your head and work hard enough.
D．More and more old people are looking forward to living in the countryside.

Life is a series of good and bad things, big and small. If I remember all the bad things right from my childhood, wouldn’t it be silly? Such as, one of my parents who hit me when I was young, the pre-school kid who wouldn’t share her red ink with me, the third-grader who would keep pulling my hair, or the stranger at the bus stop who wouldn’t let me get on the bus first …It’s terrible to remember all those unwanted memories. Thank God for our fading (衰退的) memories.
If we always remember everything that we've ever read or experienced, we would not only be walking encyclopedias (百科全书), but also be the unhappiest humans on the earth, because we would also remember the moments that someone shouted at us or hit us deeply. Imagine, what would happen to us if we carry this huge load of feelings in our body bags? With the weight that we carry around, we would be pulled down into the deep hole of negative (消极的) thought and couldn't go out. If we learn to let go of all the negative thoughts or the unwanted memories, life would be much more enjoyable.
Life is like an apple. If offers us the choice of the good part and the core (核) that we can't eat. Have we worried about throwing away the core, even for a moment? Of course NO. Then, why do we hold on to all those unpleasant memories and not to sweep them away? Don't you want to eat the juicy and tasty part? Will you eat the hard core instead?
It's up to you children to choose for yourself. There's no doubt that you should choose to let go of the core or enjoy the flesh of the apple of life to the fullest.
14. The passage is the most likely to be written to _________.
A. kids B. adults C. scientists D. teachers
15. In the writer's opinion, if one always remembers everything, he would _________.
A. be the cleverest person B. have an enjoyable life
C. improve his memory D. be the unhappiest person
16. From Paragraph 3, the writer wants to tell us that__________.
A. there are only bad thoughts in our life
B. it is impossible for you to choose your life
C. life should be like the juicy and tasty part of an apple
D. our memories dying away is really a bad thing
16. The best title for passage would be “_______”.
A. Remember only good things B. Throw away apple cores
C. Learn to forget our memories D. Let all the memories go

六、任务型阅读：
It’s a big challenge for you to complete any personal goal in time. And it always seems that you won’t have enough time to finish all you need to do. Do you know the way to make the time for your goal? Here are some tips which may help you.
Focus on(集中) one thing at a time. Remember not to take on too many goals at a time, or your energy will be used up soon. Once one goal is finished, you can go to the next one. Set up at least a month per goal.
Prioritize(优先处理)the most important. We have more than one thing to complete. If we put all the things before our Goal, we won’t ever find the time for it. If we put our goal at the first place, we’ll make the time.
Keep your goal simple. It’s important not to make your goal too difficult. If you want to be slim, for example, you just need to develop the habit for your health, walking each day (or running, or cycling etc), drinking more water, eating fruits and vegetables instead of junk snacks.
Shut your door. Try to set a time that you won’t be disturbed (打扰). If you are disturbed from time to time, you really don't have the time to help out. So you must shut your door when working on the most important tasks. If so, you will get them done better.
Stop wasting time. In our daily life, there are many things wasting your time, such as watching drama series and going to bars. If you don’t do them, it won’t make a great difference to your life. So stop doing them to free up time for your goals.
If you follow the above, you will succeed to achieve your goal

On March 14th, Premier (总理) Li Keqiang said the government should i 2 Internet services. Only one day later, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology (工信部) replied that they would take action to develop the Internet for a h 3 speed and lower costs.
Terrible Internet speeds have caused much trouble in China. According to a recent survey that was made by Sina, 66 % of people were not s 4 with China’s Internet.
China’s Internet connection speed is s 5 than that in many other countries. The average (平均) Internet speed in China was 4.25 megabits (兆位) per second (Mbps) in late 2014. South Korea had the fastest speed. It was 25.3 Mbps. People can download a 1 GB movie within six minutes in South Korea, b 6 in China it would take half an hour.
But sadly, the p 7 for the bad Internet is not low in China. The survey shows that nearly 70 % of people spent ￥50-200 a month on Internet services.
