Are you looking forward to going abroad? These years, thousands of Chinese middle school students go to study in foreign {#blank#}1{#/blank#} (country) such as the US, the UK and Australia.

     “Chinese children hope to go abroad {#blank#}2{#/blank#} (get) a wider view (视野) of the world,” said Li Mingshan, a Chinese writer who has {#blank#}3{#/blank#} (live) in America for many years. In a talk Li told more than 300 parents and their children that life abroad can be surely {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (hard) for young people than that in China. “They have to meet a culture shock and language problems.”

    {#blank#}5{#/blank#}, these are not the most difficult things. To most children, looking after {#blank#}6{#/blank#} 

while they are studying alone in a foreign country is a big challenge (挑战).

    Zhao Baohua, {#blank#}7{#/blank#}18-year-old student began to study in a high school in Australia last October. To his surprise, he was hardly given {#blank#}8{#/blank#} homework! “So we have more free time and more space for thinking.”said Zhao. “But {#blank#}9{#/blank#} you don't know how to plan your time and money, you will not have an easy time.”

     “Learning abroad at a young age {#blank#}10{#/blank#} (help) students learn foreign languages quickly, but students and parents should know about the challenges. Make sure that you are ready for it.” Li said at last.

    Do you want to have a big adventure(探险)with no big dangers? Try letterboxing. It's really {#blank#}1{#/blank#}(excite).

    Letterboxing began {#blank#}2{#/blank#} England in 1845. It was like hiking and exploring with a special adventure. Someone{#blank#}3{#/blank#} (make) a letterbox -- a small box with a little notebook in it. The person hid the letterbox in a park, a forest, a city or other {#blank#}4{#/blank#}(place). Next, the person would write directions(方向) to the box， {#blank#}5{#/blank#} put the directions on the internet. Then letter boxers used {#blank#}6{#/blank#}(they) to look for the letterbox.

    Letterboxing might not be as popular as skydiving or rock climbing, but it's a great activity. It's {#blank#}7{#/blank#} exciting outdoor adventure. And it's very cool {#blank#}8{#/blank#} (open) a letterbox and know that no one else found it! There {#blank#}9{#/blank#}(be) now many different kinds of people can have great fun enjoying these activities. {#blank#}10{#/blank#} you have never done letterboxing before, you can give it a try.
