Each year, thousands of Chinese middle school students go to study in foreign countries. Recent research shows among 428 middle school students in Shanghai, nearly half of them would like to study abroad.
    "Chinese children are eager to go abroad to get a wider view, less academic (学业) competition or even family honor," said Chen Yi, a Chinese writer who has lived in the US for 16 years. "But life in foreign countries can be hard for young people."
"We have to face the culture shock and language problems," said Hong Guang, a Chinese student in London.
    However, these are not always the most difficult things to overcome (克服). To most children, controlling themselves when studying alone in a foreign country is a big challenge.
Zhang Jia, a 16-year-old student from Shanghai, entered high school in Melbourne, Australia last October. To his surprise, his teachers there seldom pushed students to study. And usually there wasn't much homework.
    Some of his friends spent their whole year's money in the first two months of the new term.
"Studying abroad at a young age can help students learn foreign languages quickly and broaden their minds, but students and parents should know about the challenges," Chen said.

What does the research tell us?

Many students 1 _____________.

Chinese students expect to go abroad to get

a wide view, less academic competition or 2_________

To study alone in a foreign country, students have to

both face the culture shock and language problems and 3____________.

What's the article mainly about?

1. would like to study abroad 

2. family honour

3. controlling themselves

4. less homework

5. challenges

Do you want to be successful in everything you do? If so, then how? Here is an example.
There was a farmer who   36  corn(玉米)all his life. Each year he took his corn to the market. Then each time his corn was chosen as the   37  and won the first prize.
One year a newspaper reporter interviewed him and learned something surprising about how he grew it. The farmer   38  his seed(做种子的) corn to his neighbors.
"How can you share your best seed corn with your neighbors?" the reporter asked. "You know they are taking part in the   39  with you each year."
"Why, sir," said the farmer, "didn't you know? The   40  picks up pollen (花粉) from the corn and moves it quickly from field to field. If my neighbors grow   41  corn, cross-pollination (异花传粉) will affect the quality of my corn. So if I want to grow good corn, I must help my neighbors to grow good corn. "
The farmer knows much about the connection of life. His corn cannot improve unless his neighbor's corn improves.
As a great man says, "We make a living by what we grow; we make a life by what we give." We can't   42  without food, clothes, and many other things. However, a meaningful life is not decided by how much we can get,   43  by how much we can give others. Giving, instead of taking, makes us    44   from other animals.
So those who choose to live well must help others to live well and those who choose to be happy must help others to find   45  in their life.

A habit is any action that we have performed so often that it becomes something we do almost without thinking. Some of them are thought to be bad habits. People spend countless hours and dollars each year trying to drop these bad habits but often fail. Why? Change is hard work and there is no shortcut to achieve it. However, there is still some advice for you to follow.
First, look at why you do it. In other words, what’s the result of doing this thing? If your bad habit is shouting at people when you are unhappy or under pressure, what do you get from it? It may make you feel a little better for the moment. Or maybe you have a bad habit of leaving your homework undone. The result could be that you get more time to spend on the Internet!
Next, take a look on the other hand. What are you losing because of your habit? Shouting at other people is a bad habit because it makes people around you feel bad and unhappy. Leaving your homework undone is a bad habit because you may be punished by your teacher. Having more Internet time means that you are losing the chance to learn the things that you need to learn. When you think that way, you’ll find that it’s not wise to keep your bad habit! Now it is time to make a decision. What will you choose? I’m sure you will choose to do what you think is more important.

A.people always fail to break bad habits
B.we must change all the habits we have
C.a habit is a terrible thing we can never change
D.it’s difficult, but we should do something about bad habits
【小题2】The underlined sentence “there is no shortcut to achieve it” means that      .[来源:学_科_网]
A.it is not easy to give up bad habitsB.there is a long way and a short way
C.something dangerous may happen D.we must cut bad habits in a short time
【小题3】 According to the passage, if you want to drop your habits, you have to      .

阅读下面短文,简要回答所给问题。

To Protect the environment, China has put a ban on thin plastic bag (plastic bag thinner than 0.025mm) From June 1, 2008. China stopped the production, sale and use of these plastic bags to the public.

Plastic bags can cause “white pollution”, because they can take 400-1000 years to break down. They pollute the soil and water. Plastic bags also cause a serious danger to animals. Animals often mistake plastic bags for food. Thousands of them die each year after eating plastic bags.

So what kind of bags will be the best to use when we are shopping? Recently some students made their own shopping bags. Most students used old clothes to make their bags. They painted pictures like the Olympic rings on them. But Li Lei had a more traditional way to make her bag. She weaved(编织) a bamboo basket . It was not an easy job. With her grandfather’s help, Li Lei spent the whole afternoon making it .What can we do? Refuse plastic bags and persuade people to use environmentally shopping bags instead of plastic ones. Try to recycle the one we have .

1.Did Li Lei make her shopping bag by herself?

________________________________________

2.Why do plastic bags cause a serious danger to animals?

__________________________________________

3.What kind of material did most students use to make their shopping bags?

__________________________________________________________

4.When did China stop the production , sale and use of these plastic bags ?

____________________________________________________________

5.According to the passage, what should we do to protect the environment? (One example is OK.)
