10．A student's life is never easy．（36）G A lot of preparations are needed so you can be sure to go back home with a diploma and a bright future waiting for you．The following are some basic things you need to do before even seizing that passport and boarding on the plane．
●Knowing the country．
You shouldn't bother researching the country's hottest tourist spots or historical places．You won't go there as a tourist，but as a student．It'll be helpful to read the most important points in their history and to read up on their culture．（37）C You surely don't want to face legal problems，especially if you're away from home．
●Studying their language．
Don't expect that you can graduate abroad without knowing even the basics of the language．Before leaving your home country，take online lessons to at least master some of their words and sentences．（38）D  Doing this will also prepare you in communicating with those who can't speak English．
●（39）B
Check the conversion（兌換）of your money to their local currency，set up your bank account so you can use it there，get an insurance，and find an apartment．The Internet or your intended school will be very helpful in finding an apartment and helping you understand local currency．
Remember，you're not only carrying your own reputation but your country's reputation as well．If you act foolishly，people there might think that all of your country men are foolish as well．（40）E．

A．Packing your clothes．
B．Preparing for other needs．
C．Most importantly，read about their laws．
D．This will be useful in living and studying there．
E．That would surely be a very bad start for your study abroad program．
F．Going with their trends will keep it from being too obvious that you're a foreigner．
G．And it is even more difficult if you will have to complete your study in a foreign land．

11．HouseSitting
In many countries of the world people do what is called housesitting．It means that if owners of the house are going away，they want someone to come into their house and look after the house and maybe pets while they are away．
In Australia，many people travel．After people retire，they might buy a van and travel all over the country．1（31）BSo if someone wants to travel or go away for some reason，they might want someone in their house to care for it and keep the gardens tidy．Housesitters might have to care for pets．Also，quite a few people have swimming pools in their back yard and they need cleaning．（32）AI feel it is a great way of seeing the country，because you go and stay in a new city，get to meet new people，and have time to go sightseeing in a new area．

12．A strong memory depends on the health and vitality （活力） of your brain．They say that you can't teach an old dog new tricks，but when it comes to the brain，scientists have discovered that this old saying simply isn't true．（36）G
Give your brain a workout．Memory，like muscular strength，requires you to"use it or lose it"．The more you work out your brain，the better you'll be able to process and remember information．（37）F
Don't skip the physical exercise．While mental exercise is important for brain health，that doesn't mean you never need to break a sweat．Physical exercise helps your brain stay sharp．It increases oxygen to your brain and reduces the risk for disorders that lead to memory loss．
Get enough sleep．There is a big difference between the amount of sleep you can get by on and the amount you need to function at your best．（38）E
Keep stress in check．Stress is one of the brain's worst enemies．Over time，stress destroys brain cells．Studies have also linked stress to memory loss．
Have a laugh．（39）C That holds true for the brain and the memory，as well as the body．Unlike emotional responses，which are limited to specific areas of the brain，laughter engages multiple regions across the whole brain．
（40）AJust as the body needs fuel，so does the brain．You probably already know that a diet based on fruits，vegetables，whole grains，"healthy"fats and lean protein will provide lots of health benefits，but such a diet can also improve memory．For brain health，though，it's not just what you eat-it's also what you don't eat．

A．Eat a brain-boosting diet．
B．Play games with memory．
C．Laughter is the best medicine．
D．But oversleeping is not good for your brain．
E．Even skipping a few hours makes a difference!
F．You have to shake things up from time to time!
G．The human brain has an astonishing ability to adapt and change．

10．Always Changing
Jack is leaving，and I'm feeling kind of sad．
You probably don't know Jack，but you might be lucky enough to（41）Asomeone just like him．He's been the heart and soul of the office for a couple of years combining（42）Aprofessional skills with a sweet and gentle nature．
And now he's moving on to an exciting new professional（43）C．It sounds like it could be the chance of a lifetime，and we're（44）Bfor him．But that doesn't make it any easier to say goodbye to him．
Life has a way of throwing these curve（曲線） balls（45）Bus．Just when we start to get comfortable with a person，a place or a situation，something comes along to（46）Dthe recipe．
Our ability to cope with change（47）Dto a great degree，our peace，happiness and contentment in life．
But how do we do that？A friend of mine is fond of reminding us that"survivability depends upon（48）C．"And then there's Chris，who once told me that the answer to life's problems can be（49）A in four words："Go with the flow．"
I'm not exactly sure，but I think Chris was saying that life is a series of（50）A-both good and bad．No matter how excellent your skill，there will always be life-influencing factors over which you have no（51）C．The truly successful person expects the unexpected，and is prepared to（52）Badjustments if the need should arise-as it almost （53）Ddoes．
That doesn't mean you don't keep trying to make all your（54）Acome true．It just means that when things come up that aren't（55）Din your plan，you work around them-and then you move on．
"Change，indeed，is painful，（56）B ever needful，"said philosopher Thomas Carlyle．"And if memory has its force and worth，so also has（57）C．"
We're going to miss Jack．But rather than stay on the（58）Bof our parting，we'll focus on our hopes for a brighter future-for him，and for us．And then we'll go out and（59）Aeverything we can to make that future happen．
