Choosing which university to go to is one of the biggest and most expensive decisions you’ll have to make. Here are some things to consider.

Work out whether you want to study at home or abroad. If you’re going abroad, first you have to think of the cost of your study, living expenses and the flight tickets.

Decide which courses interest you and find out more about who will teach the course. Try to collect information from past students.

Check out the ability of the teachers. Study the key subjects in the course and compare them with the ones from other universities.

Find out if the university offers work for practice or exchange programs for the course you’re interested in.

Check what the university’s policy (政策) is for switching (转换) courses in the university or changing universities.

Many universities now have websites. Use them as a chance to ask the universities all the questions you want.

Visit education exhibitions(展览会). You’ll be able to find out more by talking to teachers from different universities, and they can be found easily at the same time.

Go to see the university if you can. If this is not possible because of the cost, do some research and find out where the university is as well as the environment around it. It shouldn’t be too hard to do that with programs like Google Maps.

Leaving everything behind to go after true happiness takes courage, and Sophie Matterson has enough to go around. The 31-year-old enjoyed a good life in Brisbane, Australia, with a job in the TV and film industry, but it didn’t make her heart sing. That's why she decided to try a different path. Now she's trekking (跋涉) across the continent with five camels (骆驼)--- and is the happiest she's ever been!

In 2016. Sophie changed jobs and ended up somewhere she never expected： milking camels on a farm in Queensland.

“What I wasn't anticipating was how much I would end up falling in love with these animals," she wrote. "What was only going to be a six-month break from my 'real job' turned into five years of running after camels around Australia and other parts of the world. "

After taking tourists on camel treks for a while, Sophie decided to have an adventure of her own. She planned out a 5, 000-kilometer trip from Shark Bay to Byron Bay before catching and training five wild camels in January 2019. Then she was finally ready to explore her country with Mac, Delilah, Clayton, Jude, and Charlie!

As one might imagine, the trip can be lonely at times, but Sophie's camels make surprisingly good companions.

“It's quite lovely and relaxing camping with camels"  she said. Best of all, she can see great views!

Sophie hopes to arrive in Byron Bay in the next nine months. In the meantime, she'll be enjoying every second with her camel friends.

D. She was unwilling to leave everything behind to go for it.

六、短文填空 （本题5小题，每题1分，共5分）

先通读下面的短文，然后根据短文内容，在文章后表格的空格内填入一个最恰当的单词。

Many countries all over the world have National Parks. There are about 7, 000 National Parks around the world. Most of them protect natural settings as well as the plants and animals that live there, but a few are in towns and cities.

Are there National Parks in England?

There are nine National Parks in England. The first three were the Peak District, the Lake District and Dartmoor, which were all named as National Parks in 1951. Others followed afterwards, such as the North York Moors in 1952, the New Forest in 2005 and the South Downs in 2010.

Are National Parks in England the same as those in other countries?

   Many National Parks around the world cover huge areas of land where nobody lives, but in England most of the countryside within them is useful for farming and other activities. As a result, National Parks in England include places where people live and work, as well as wild and beautiful areas where there is little sign or human life.

Why do visitors go to the National Parks?

   There are plenty of activities to do in all of the National Parks in England. Visitors can walk or cycle, following marked route, and many of the parks organize activities for families.

Are there any problems in the National Parks?

   There are about 110 million visitors to the parks every year, bringing many benefits to the areas but creating problems too. Many popular towns and villages can be swamped (充斥) by visitors. This results in overcrowded car parks and roads choked (堵塞) with traffic. Life can be difficult for people who live there, as more and more gift shops and cafes are opened instead of those everyday shops; in popular areas, house prices can become too high for local people making it hard for them to stay in the area.

Another major problem is litter. In the parks it is a particular (特别的) danger to animals. Broken glass can also cause fires by focusing the rays of the sun. When these start in wild places, they are much harder to control and can damage (毁坏) large areas very quickly.

How can people help?

All National Parks in England promote (倡导) the Countryside Code, which tells people how to take care of their environment. If these rules are followed, the National Parks will be protected and continue to give pleasure to many people for a long time.
