2 . More than the challenge of fitting into a new culture, there are many benefits that a student can get from an exchange program. These benefits include:

·Diverse academic opportunities. In fact, students want to study abroad rather than travel.     1     Instead, it will be the supply of diverse opportunities for the student. For example, the student will be able to experience the differences of teaching methods, educational formats and academic program offerings.

·    2     Studying in another country opens the student’s eyes to different surroundings, which makes the student know about the country’s customs, people and regions. Knowing other culture also teaches the student how to be open-minded.

·Personality development.     3     Thus, the student needs to make decisions on his or her own and suffer the consequences or enjoy the fruits of those decisions. With this, the student is taught how real life is, what it means to be responsible, and how being resourceful can help in his or her survival. It’s no wonder that most students who return after the exchange program are seen with significant improvement on their personal development.     4    

So, why not let your child have the benefits of a student exchange program? Exchange programs or study-abroad programs are a great investment for the student.     5     Just imagine, by transforming students in a foreign country, the society is starting to build new blood of more mature people who might just be able to create a better tomorrow for the generations to come.

A．Improved protection of social rights.

B．Better awareness of cultural differences.

C．More importantly, it is helpful for the improvement of the society.

D．Most of them are more confident and have better decision-making skills.

E．The hosting school can also benefit by making a student’s dream come true.

F．Although students really love traveling, studying is not an activity filled with travel fun at all times.

G．Being an exchange student often means living far away from home and parental guidance.

4 . Marco Springmann and his colleagues, at the Oxford Martin School’s Future of Food Programme, built computer models that predicted what would happen if everyone became vegetarian by 2050. The results indicate that if the world went vegan (严格的素食主义者), the greenhouse gas emissions declines would be around 70%.

In the US, for example, an average family of four emits more greenhouse gases because of the meal they eat than from driving two cars---but it is cars, not steaks, that regularly come up in discussions about global warming.

Food, especially livestock (牲畜，家畜) also takes up a lot of room. 68% of agricultural land in the world is used for livestock. When these lands become grasslands and forests, they would capture carbon dioxide and further ease climate change.

However, if the whole world went vegan, there would be negative effects too. First, it is necessary to keep livestock for environmental purposes. “I’m sitting here in Scotland where the Highlands’ environment is very man-made and based largely on grazing by sheep,” says Peter Alexander, a researcher in socio-ecological systems modeling at the University of Edinburgh. “If we took all the sheep away, the environment would look different and there would be a potential negative impact on biodiversity.”

Plus, meat is an important part of history, tradition and cultural identity. Numerous groups around the world give livestock gifts at weddings, celebratory dinners such as Christmas with turkey or roast beef.

And nowadays, moderation in meal-eating’s frequency and portion size is key to solving these conflicts. “Certain changes would encourage us to make healthier and more environmentally friendly dietary decisions,” says Springmann, “like putting a higher price lag on meat and making fresh fruits and vegetables cheaper.”

In fact, clear solutions already exist for reducing greenhouse gas emissions from the livestock industry. What is lacking is the will to carry out those changes.

1. What can we infer from the underlined sentence in the second paragraph?

A．Driving cars is more dangerous than eating steaks in the US.

B．Our dietary choices affecting climate change is often underestimated.

C．People compare the greenhouse gas emissions of the cars and steaks.

D．Cars affect the global warming more seriously than the steaks.

2. Which saying can best show the author’s attitude to livestock?

A．It is hard to please all.

B．Don’t put all your eggs in one basket.

C．One cannot see the wood for the trees.

D．Everything is a double-edged sword.

3. Where is this text most likely from?

A．A biology textbook.	B．A health magazine.
C．A scientific journal.	D．An educational review.
