For years, environmentalists have been warning us that the earth is getting warmer. And most experts are convincing that human activity is to blame. It seems that the more we pump greenhouse gases into the atmosphere, the more the earth’s temperature rises.

Of course, we must do everything we can to save our planet from disasters. And most of us are keen to get involved. Some of us walk to school because it is better for the environment than going by car. We try to remember to switch off lights and other appliances when we are not using them. So far, so good. None of this hurts too much.

But now a well-known campaigner has come up with a new suggestion. Aeroplanes generate huge amount of greenhouse gas emissions.

When it comes to preparations for studying abroad, the very first challenge for students is how to live independently. Stepping out of their comfort zone to live and study in a faraway country often ingrains an obscure fear of loneliness and helplessness. Therefore, if you have a plan to earn a degree in a foreign country, you need to equip yourselves with essential skills to start a truly independent life as soon as possible. First and foremost, you do not need to be an excellent cook but should know basic cooking skills to feed yourselves. Suppose that you experienced a pandemic period, you would have to cook at home due to social distancing and most restaurant closures. Second, clean-up and household skills are of equal importance. To lower accommodation costs, many students often choose to share apartments with other mates. Definitely, no one wants to stay with those who are untidy and do not know how to do simple household tasks, so make sure that you can do daily housework well enough. Third, money management is a challenging task for most overseas students. Some students are often flat broke at the end of the month because they cannot handle their budget. It’s advisable to be a smart shopper by making a suitable shopping list and keeping an accurate record of your daily expenses to avoid pointless debt. In short, the pieces of advice will hopefully make your independent life easier when you go to university in another country.

1. What is the passage mainly about?

A. How to face loneliness and helplessness at home

B. Ways to gain independence while studying abroad

C. Overseas students and problems with additional expenses

D. Young students’ adjustment to sharing an apartment

2. What does the word ‘those’ in line 9 mean?

A. flatmates           B. acquaintances               C. housekeepers                 D. instructors

3. According to the passage, which of the following is NOT given in the list of advice to live independently?

A. Cooking skills      B. Clean-up skills    C. Communication skills  D. Budget management skills

4. According to the passage, who might be short of money at the end of the month?

A. Students who buy a lot of learning materials and clothes   B. Students who live on foreign scholarships

C. Students who eat out frequently                    D. Students who are incapable of managing their budget

5. Which of the following is true about the passage?

A. Students must be excellent cooks when living abroad.

Peer pressure, the strong influence from members of the same age group or social group on others’ psychology, thoughts and behaviour, has remained widespread among teenagers in recent years. If teenagers are unable to tackle it, they will wilt under the pressure of low self-esteem and depression. In the digital age, young students are overwhelmed with tremendous online articles about admirable achievements of ‘someone else’s child’ or ‘a prodigy next door’. Consequently, reality is replete with teens who seem reserved and like to hide in their own room for fear of being asked about exam results or tolerating unfavourable comparisons from their relatives and acquaintances. In addition, many teens nowadays tend to make friends with those who study well or have good looks, so many young students have to change who they are so as to fit in with their peers. In other words, weak-minded and average individuals become worn out in an attempt to get flying colours, look slim and fit as well as possess cool tech gadgets. To handle negative peer pressure, students need to alter their opinions, care for their own feelings more than others’ thoughts and trusting in their own abilities. Accepting one’s imperfections is another way to stop pushing themselves beyond the limits of their mental endurance. Besides, if teenagers’ parents are one of the factors that make them stressed about peer pressure, they should spend more time talking frankly with them to get sympathy and mutual understanding.
