In tday’s difficult ecnmic time, it’s natural t rethink yur gal f studying abrad. Des the benefit utweigh the cst? The answer, in fact, is yes, when yu lk at the rad ahead.
When the ecnmy becmes mre challenged, cmpetitin fr the wrkfrce increases, and emplyers lk fr emplyees with the best credentials（资力）. Having an verseas degree — frm a university where strng English skills are required — can make all the difference. The added expertise f a freign degree, alng with mre cultural experience, can make yu mre qualified fr many jbs.
A 50-year study f 3,400 students shws that studying abrad is usually a defining mment in a yung persn’s life and cntinues t impact the participant’s life fr years after the experience.
82% said that they acquired skills that influenced their career path. 70% stated that it ignited（点燃）an interest in a career directin that they pursued after the experience.
And the effect n ne’s career can be equally strng. A study by the Queensland, Australia gvernment shwed:
61% f emplyers stated verseas studying experience was psitive n a graduate resume. 72% f emplyers felt that a secnd language made a graduate a mre attractive emplyee.
Still, there’s the questin f hw t pay fr studying verseas. But the cst desn’t have t be as high as yu think. Schlarships may be available t cver sme r all f these csts. And, there are plenty f ways t further ffset（抵消）the cst — thrugh financial tips, advice and grants（补助金）.

On the day f the winter slstice, the peple whse ears were frzen were sent t eat the dumplings. Peple wh ate it felt warm frm head t te and had their cld injury healed. Thereafter, every winter slstice peple ate dumplings. Then there became a saying that if yu eat dumplings during the winter slstice, then yu wn’t freeze yur ears ff.

Priscilla Ouchida’s “energy efficient” huse turned ut t be a hrrible dream. When she and her engineer husband married a few years ag, they built a $100,000 three-bedrm hme in Califrnia. Tightly sealed t prevent air leaks, the huse was equipped with small duble-paned windws and several ther energy-saving features. Prblems began as sn as the cuple mved in, hwever. Priscilla’s eyes burned. Her thrat was cnstantly dry. She suffered frm headaches and culd hardly sleep. It was as thugh she had suddenly develped a strange illness.
Experts finally traced the cause f her illness. The level f frmaldehyde gas in her kitchen was twice the maximum allwed by federal standards fr chemical wrkers. The surce f the gas? Her new kitchen cabinets and wall-t-wall carpeting.
The Ouchidas are victims f indr air pllutin, which is nt given sufficient attentin partly because f the natin’s drive t save energy. The prblem itself isn’t new. “The indr envirnment was dirty lng befre energy cnservatin came alng,” says Mschandreas, a pllutin scientist at Gemet Technlgies in Maryland. “Energy cnservatin has tended t accentuate the situatin in sme cases.”
The prblem appears t be mre trublesme in newly cnstructed hmes rather than ld nes. Back in the days when energy was cheap, hme builders didn’t wrry much abut unsealed cracks. Because f such leaks, the air in an average hme was replaced by fresh utdr air abut nce an hur. As a result, the pllutants generated in mst husehlds seldm built up t dangerus levels.
1. It can be learned frm the passage that the Ouchidas’ huse ________.
2. What made the Ouchidas’ new huse a hrrible dream?
3. The wrd “accentuate” (Para. 3) mst prbably means “________”.
4. Why were cracks in ld huses nt a big cncern?

It was a sunny afternn in June f 2022 when 20-year-ld Anthny Perry stepped ff the train at Chicag’s 69th Street statin. On the platfrm, tw men were fighting bitterly. Then the unthinkable happened: the pair fell ver the edge and nt the tracks. One man ended up n his back. Suddenly, he started cnvulsing (抽搐) unnaturally. He had fallen n the third rail, the cnduit (导线管) fr the 600 vlts f electricity that pwers Chicag’s L trains. The aggressr leaped backward, bunded back up nt the platfrm and disappeared.
Perry culdn’t just stand there and watch. He sat at the edge f the platfrm and eased himself dwn. He tk a few quick bunds and apprached the victim. The guy lked dead, his bdy still mving vilently as the electricity pulsed (搏动). Gathering up his curage, Perry reached dwn and grasped the victim’s wrist. Instantly, he felt a blast f electric shck sht thrugh his bdy. Perry shrank and jumped back. He reached dwn a secnd time, and was shcked again. But the third time he seized the man’s wrist and frearm and, braving the shck, pulled with all his strength. The guy’s bdy slid briefly alng the third rail, cming t rest n the gravel n the uter edge f the tracks.
The man was breathing, but irregularly. Smething wasn’t right. “Give him chest cmpressins (按压)!” yelled a wman. Perry was n expert, but fr a few mments he wrked n the man’s heart until the victim began cnvulsing. Then he heard a sudden nise behind him — medical wrkers and firefighters had arrived. Perry let the prfessinals take ver. His heart still racing frm the electric shcks, he climbed back up nt the platfrm, grabbed his things and headed hme.
The evening news reprted the incident. After a friend uted him t the media, Perry became the tast f Chicag. Perry was then recruited by the Chicag Fire Department and is nw training t be an emergency medical technician.
1. What made the rescue f the victim particularly difficult?
2. What can be inferred abut Perry accrding t paragraphs 3—4?
3. What des the underlined sentence in paragraph 4 mean?
4. What is the authr’s main purpse f writing the text?

Last week when I was reading at hme, my yunger sister rushed in and tld me an ld man was lying n the grund in frnt f ur huse. I immediately tk my first- aid kit and ran dwnstairs. He was suffering a slight heart attack. And I perfrmed CPR n him. Luckily, an ambulance came sn and he was taken t the hspital. Later that day I was tld by the hspital what I did helped rescue the ld man’s life. I was happy t hear that. 1 There were many peple wh wanted t help arund the ld man then, yet n ne gave him first aid as they hadn’t attended a first-aid curse.
2 Here are my reasns.
Yu can gain the knwledge, skills and cnfidence. Yu never knw when yu might need them—yu culd be at hme, at wrk, at schl r n hliday. If yu have the skills, yu can act whenever yu’re needed.
3 Fr yur family, yur neighburs r the brader cmmunity, having mre peple with first-aid skills helps build a strnger and mre harmnius cmmunity.
Yu can stay safe at wrk. 4 With first-aid knwledge yu can create a safe wrk envirnment and help meet yur wrkplace’s safety requirements.
It’s helpful in chsing yur future career. The first-hand experience yu gain thrugh learning first aid and using yur skills culd help yu decide if yu want t pursue a career in the health prfessin. 5

I must admit, I haven’t always liked animals. In fact, I distrusted them greatly while grwing up, and I still fear the nes I dn’t knw persnally. What set my beliefs in stne was being attacked—nt nce but many times, including the summer after secnd grade when I was bitten by a rabbit.

After all thse negative experiences, there was ne thing I knew fr sure: All creatures, great and small, were n friends f mine.
After cllege in Califrnia, I returned t live the single life in Las Vega. Then I met Lisa. In n time at all, we fell in lve, married and mved int a new huse. Despite my avidance f animals, Lisa had a dg called Bailey. Bailey didn’t like me, but he tlerated my existence nce he realized I wasn’t ging anywhere.
Things changed as spring came. We welcmed a new member f ur family: ur sn Evan. One evening Evan grabbed hld f the dg’s tail. The irritated dg paused and turned t lk at his stuck tail but waited patiently until being released. Still the stries I’d heard f animals attacking babies wrries me.
Then my wrst fear ccurred. I sat n the cuch (沙发) reading after a lng day while my wife wrked at the dining-rm table paying the bills. I saw Evan crawl acrss the family-rm carpet as he made his way behind the cuch. One minute, all was quiet and then Bailey entered the rm and headed t where Evan had crawled. I nearly jumped ut f my skin when I heard the dg start a fearful barking behind me.
