The most popular pets are dogs and cats.‎ Many British people say that the main reason they have a pet is to keep them company (陪伴他们). According to a recent report, 60% of people who live on their own have a pet as company. A lot of pet owners treat their pet just like one of the family. Many cat owners make holes in their doors so their cats can come and go as they please. Dog owners spend a lot of time walking their dogs.‎ Another reason to own a pet is for protection, especially dogs. Most thieves would think twice about breaking into a house if they could hear a large dog barking inside. Some people choose their pets because of their beauty. The most beautiful animals can win prizes at pet shows!‎ In the UK, some pet owners think that nothing is too good for their animal! Some people take their pet to the animal doctor more often than they visit their own doctor. They might even take a day off work to care for a pet when it is sick. Many people talk to their pets, and some talk to them over the telephone. And of course, they mustn’t forget to celebrate the animal’s birthday!‎ ‎5.

From the last paragraph we know that some pet owners in the UK think their pets are ______. ‎ A. important B. dangerous C. successful D. beautiful ‎ C.‎ It is important to know another language and how to communicate without words when you are in another country. Before saying anything, people communicate with each other by using gestures（手势）. However, many gestures have different meanings, or no meaning at all, in different parts of the world.‎ In the United States, nodding your head up and down means “yes”, while in some parts of Greece and Turkey, it means “no”. In the southeast of Asia, it is a polite way of saying “I heard you”.‎ Today in the USA, when someone puts his thumb up, it means “Everything is all right.” However, in Greece it is bad. Also putting your clasped（紧握的）hands up above your head means “I am the winner.” It is the sign which players often make. In Russia it is the sign of friendship.‎ In the USA, holding your hand up with the thumb and index finger（食指）, and the other three straight means “Everything is OK.” In France, it means “You are worth nothing.”‎ It is also important to make eye communication. If you look down when talking to an American, he or she may feel that you are shy, or you are trying to hide something.‎ Besides these, you should also know there are some topics that cannot be talked about, such as age, weight and marriage. You can talk about the weather, work, sports, food, where one lives and news of the day.‎ ‎9. Which of the following is true?‎ A. People all over the world only communicate by words. ‎ B.

It is important to know the language. ‎ B. It is important to know what you talk about to a foreigner.‎ C. To know how to communicate without words is as important as to know the language.‎ D. To communicate through gestures is more important than to know the language.‎ D Every year, thousands of students travel to foreign countries to study. More than 30 percent of these students go to the United States. Around 15 percent go to France, and 10 percent to both England and Germany. A little less than 10 percent go to Australia, and around 5 percent go to Canada.‎ No matter where a student chooses to study, there are some things universities around the world require. First, all students must graduate from high school before they can apply to a university. Most universities also require some kind of test for students to enter the university. Universities in the United States, Australia, and Canada usually require some kind of standardized exam, such as the SAT in the United States. Students who do not come from English-speaking countries also must take a test such as TOEFL in the United States and Canada to show they know enough English to study in English. England and Australia require students to take the IELTS.‎ In most countries, students must apply to each university they hope to go to. However, students applying to universities in England can use one form to apply to several universities at the same time. Students can apply to six universities at one time through the British Council. This can save students a lot of time and money. For universities in other countries, students must fill out different forms for each university and pay a fee with each application. ‎ ‎12. This passage is about _________. ‎ A. how to do well when studying abroad B. what is required to study abroad C. the best country for studying abroad D. why students study abroad ‎ ‎13.
