①When it comes to Chinese students thinking about studying in foreign countries, many of them usually believe that life will be easy and enjoyable. Unluckily, it seems that students with those beliefs will be disappointed very soon after landing at the airport.

②So, what are the problems you may have, and how can you deal with them?

③Teaching and learning styles in America are very different from those in China, in need of more critical thinking（批判性思维）and teamwork. In most American classrooms, they do activities in a study group in which every person has their own responsibility(责任).

④So don't worry about your language or any grammar mistakes. Just watch what other students do, and don't be afraid to ask any questions. The discussions, or sometimes even arguments, that your group members and you hold, are probably to be the beginning of a friendship.

⑤Besides schoolwork, another important thing faced by overseas students is homesickness or loneliness. You may miss your parents cooking, your pets, or even your old bed. Being away from home can create bad feelings, especially when faced with the problems of getting used to a new environment.

⑥What I strongly suggest is to try hard to deal with these feelings. Be open to new friend-ships. Be active in school activities, and allow yourself to enjoy life at school, even if you miss home a lot. Keep a diary to check your progress. Write down three new things that you're thankful for every evening, as well as three things you're looking forward to every morning.

⑦Studying aboard is never simple. In fact, there will be many difficulties every day. But I'm sure you will overcome your difficulties and make your time overseas a success.

（1）、The article is written for ______.

A、teachers B、parents C、students D、travelers

（2）、Students in America finish their schoolwork by _______.

A、thinking critically alone B、working in a group C、watching what others do D、arguing with other students

（3）、Which is NOT the suggestion to deal with homesickness according to the article?

A、Keep a diary. B、Make new friends. C、Take part in school activities. D、Write a letter to parents daily.

（4）、How is the article organized?

A、①∥②③∥④⑤∥⑥⑦ B、①②∥③④∥⑤⑥∥⑦ C、①∥②③④∥⑤∥⑥⑦ D、①②∥③④⑤∥⑥∥⑦

Different countries have different ideas about manners-how you behave when you are eating.In England,table manners are important.Good table manners in England are as follows:

★How to sit:You should sit up straight in your chair.It is not a good idea to lean(倾斜)forwards or backwards.When you eat, you should not lean towards the plate,but bring the knife,fork or spoon towards you.At the same time,do not out your elbows on the table,nor reach over someone's plate for something.

★Using your fingers:English people normally don't pick food up with their fingers when they are eating main courses.If you are not sure,the safest is to use your knife or fork.There are,however,some foods that are usually eaten with fingers.They include sanwiches,burgers,crisps and fruit.

★Your mouth:It is not polite to talk with your mouth full of food,or to eat with your mouth open.And if possible,do not make any noises.Never lick(舔)your plate after eating.

★How much to eat:It is polite to eat the food that you have been offered,so a clear plate is a good plate.It shows that you enjoyed the food.If you can't finish everything and need to leave a little,that's also okay.You could say something like“That was very nice,thank you,but I'm just too full to eat another bite.”

Have you ever been in a meeting while someone was making a speech and realized suddenly that your mind was a million miles away? You probably felt sorry and decided to pay attention and never have daydreaming again. Most of us have been told from earliest school days that daydreaming is a waste of time.
L. Giambra, a psychologist（心理学家）, says,” On the contrary , daydreaming is quite necessary. Without it, the mind couldn't do all the thinking that it has to do during a normal day. You can't possibly do all your thinking with a conscious （神志清醒的）mind. Instead, your unconscious mind is working out problems all the time. Daydreaming may be one way that the unconscious and conscious states （状态）of mind have silent conversations .”
Early psychologists paid no attention to the importance of daydreams or even thought they were harmful. At one time people thought that some psychological illness caused day dreaming. They did not have a better understanding of daydreams until the late 1980s. Eric Klinges, a professor, is the writer of the book Daydreaming. Klinges says, “We know now that daydreaming is one of the main ways that we organize our lives, learn from our experiences, and plan for our futures. Daydreams really are a window on the things that we fear and the things we long for (渴望) in life.”
Daydreams are usually very simple and direct（直接）, quite unlike sleep dreams. Sleep dreams may be hard to understand. It's easier to get a deep understanding of your life by paying close attention to your daydreams than by trying to examine (分析)your sleep dreams carefully. Daydreams help you know the difficult situations（情况）in your life and found out a possible way of dealing with them.
Daydreams cannot be predicted（预言）: they move off in unexpected directions which may be creative and full of useful ideas. For many famous artists and scientists, daydreams were and are a main source of creative energy.

Your home is a safe place, right? Think again.
Many serious accidents happen in people's homes. Could you please prevent these accidents? Yes. Many accidents happen because people are careless. So be careful! Here are some tips about safety.
·Don't stand on chairs. Many people may fall off chairs and hurt themselves.
·Keep the floor dry, and you won't slip (滑) or fall.
·Be away from matches. Even a cigarette (香烟) can easily start a fire. Don't use water to put out fires. Use salt instead.
·Be careful with knives! Many people cut themselves in the kitchen. Never touch the broken bottles, doors or windows. Glass can also cause the most serious cuts.
·Don't keep poisons (毒药) in the kitchen.
·Never use electrical appliances (电器设备) in the shower. Dry the floor before you use them, or electricity can hurt you!
·Keep children away from hot water and hot drinks. They can be dangerous. But adults often forget it.
·Look through the peephole (门镜) when you hear the knock on the door. Don't let strangers in.
In a word, we should learn to protect ourselves and stay away from danger.

Disney's princess stories are famous around the world. You must know some of them, such as Snow White, Cinderella and Sleeping Beauty.

All princesses are very beautiful. Princes fall in love with them at first sight. In the end, the princess and prince have a happy life together.

However, princesses often cannot protect themselves. They need help from others. This is the old image of Disney's princesses.

A few weeks ago, Disney made 10 new rules. To be a princess, you must follow these rules. Surprisingly, no rule talks about having a "pretty face". Instead the rules are about good characteristics like honesty, loyalty and never giving up.

Princesses need to grow up. When they meet problems, they need to protect themselves. They need to find ways to get away from dangerous people.

For example, Elsa and Anna fight against the bad prince in Frozen. They need to believe in themselves and their friends. Mulan shows her courage to fight in the army. "Beauty" cannot help them. But a strong heart can. In the real world, these are the rules you need to follow.

In 2014, Buzzfeed, a US news website, did a survey called "which Disney princess do you like most?". As it turned out, the most popular one was Belle ！More than 18 per cent of people chose her. Belie is in the movie Beauty and the Beast. She is very kind and gentle. She takes care of the Beast and uses her clever mind to get out of trouble.

Many people go to different countries and live in different places in their lifetime. In different countries, they may meet with different manners. Sometimes they are puzzled by the different manners, and perhaps they may make a joke about those manners. So when we go to a strange country, we should pay attention to something new or dissimilar. For example, most Westerners are not concerned about protocol(礼仪) in social matters. But there are a few table manners the Easterners should try to observe(遵守)at all times.

To start with, put the napkin on your lap. It protects your clothes from food or is used to wipe your hands or mouth when necessary.

Hold the knife in your right hand and the fork in your left hand, and cut the meat or fish into pieces as you eat. Always use your fork to put food into your mouth. Use your spoon only for soup or other liquids.

Do not put your own utensils (fork, knife, spoon) into the serving bowl. Use the utensil in the bowl to put some of the food on your own plate. And then return the serving utensil to the bowl.

Do not spit food anywhere. If you have hones in your mouth, take them out with your fingers and place them on the edge of your plate, never on the table or floor.

Do not reach across the table or in front of another person. Ask someone to pass whatever you want.

Do not sneeze, cough or blow your nose anywhere except into a handkerchief or Kleenex (纸巾). Then you throw it into a waste paper basket or garbage can. If you cough, try to cover your mouth with your hand.
