AStudying abroadI am from Toronto, Canada and I moved to Madrid, Spain in Septemberto pursue my master’s degree（硕士学位）. After almost two years of full-timework, I realized that I loved my field so much that I wanted to pursue highereducation in the same field. Then I decided to pursue a Master’s while havingan experience abroad in Madrid. I chose Madrid because it is the businesscapital of Spain. They have amazing food, great wine, amazing culture and abeautiful language.I am studying abroad in Amsterdam in the Netherlands at the Universityof Amsterdam now. I have always wanted to study abroad because I wantedan experience studying in the Western atmosphere（气氛）. I choose theNetherlands because their courses are taught in English and that is veryconvenient for me. It is also a very student-friendly country.Being an international student is a very interesting and usefulexperience. I got to know so many interesting students and discussed withthem about different topics, not just about studies. What I wanted toexperience most was the European lifestyle and cultures. Aside from thecultures, you also get to properly enjoy your time with others according to thereal French lifestyle.As I got closer to graduating from high school, I began to considerspending a year or so travelling, either before or after studying at university. Iwas really excited to go outside of the UK. Studying abroad has given me theconfidence to continue pursuing opportunities that lie outside of my comfortzone（舒适区）.21. Where does Jessica come from?A.

I thought I was prepared to see him. I knew chances were slim that he’d actually recognize me.He didn’t. As a matter of fact, he had no idea that he even had grandchildren. But he was excited that somebody came to visit him. I tried to explain to him who I was. But after he told me multiple times that he didn’t have grandchildren, I gave up. And my heart broke into a million little pieces.I was tired of explaining things to him. So I just smiled. He smiled back. It’s a genui ne smile. Likea long time ago, when he’d take me by the hand and made this big world feel a little bit less scary for me. Now I have to take his hand.We sat in silence for a little while, before he told me to call my grandma. This was the first time I h ad tried so hard to hold back tears. My grandma died four years ago and he didn’t remember. He thought she was stuck on her way to pick him up.My grandpa used to be a strong, hard-working man. He was the person you turned to when you needed your car fixed, your tires changed or something heavy to be carried. Sadly, that man left this world a long time ago, and left behind a man that is lost and scared.I want to help him. I want to make him feel better. I want to tell him about his old life, and how great it was. So I sat with him and I held his hand, and every once in a while I told him how good he looked and how much I liked the color of his shirt and how it brought out the blue in his eyes. I told him that my grandma was on her way whenever he asked about her, and I made sure the glass in his hand was always filled with water.I can’t take away his pain. I can’t help him remember. I can’t make the disease go away. All I can do is hold on to the memories—hold on for both of us.24.

Lily wants to send a medium parcel weighting 1.5kg online. She needs to pay ________.A. £8.95B. £8.9C. £5.5D. £5.45DMost of us probably live without vegetables, but a world without chocolate? Now that would be hard! According to chocolate makers it could happen if we don’t act soon.There are two main causes of the chocolate shortage —chocolate’s growing popularity and less production of cocoa, the plant from which chocolate is made. With more and more people in India and China loving chocolate, not much can be done about the first cause.Therefore, the only thing we can do is to increase cocoa production. However, new plant diseases and little rain in Ivory Coast and Ghana, the world’s largest producers, have reduced cocoa production by 40 percent in the past 10 years. What’s worse, many cocoa farmers in Africa and other cocoa-producing countries like Indonesia and Venezuela are changing to easier-to-grow crops such as corn or rubber. This way, the farmers can make more money.To prevent more farmers from changing, researchers at the newly opened International Cocoa Control Centre, in the UK, are trying to create new cocoa plants that are stronger and faster growing. But first they must make sure the new plants are safe to grow. This takes a long time.First, each new plant is stored at the Control Centre for six months to make sure it is healthy. It is then planted in the Centre’s fields, studied and tested for another two years. Only after scientists are certain that they’re disease-free, will the plants be sent to farmers in West Africa or wherever else they are needed.To create new stronger types of cocoa, scientists at the Centre are combining the best parts from different cocoa plants. Though the world is facing a serious chocolate shortage, there is now hope!31.
