7.I had often dreamt of the possibility of spending a year away from my hometown of Leeds in England,living in a foreign country.By the time I was old enough,however,I thought that my language was going to hold me back.
However,luckily for me,Leeds University,where I was studying at the time,made it possible for any student,even people like myself speaking only one language,to study abroad.Before I knew it I was boarding a plane for Salzburg,Austria.I wasn't quite sure what to expect of the experience ahead of me but I was prepared to accept the challenge.
The university was quite small but the classes were large.Also,Austrian students usually take five years to complete their courses,so studying was somewhat more relaxed than at home.Austrian students go home quite often,too.Therefore,the foreign students had to socialise with each other quite a lot,which didn't help our language skills.
Salzburg itself is a picture-postcard Austrian city.It is also famous for being the birthplace of Mozart and the setting for The Sound of Music.As a result,it is usually very busy with tourists.I also found that it doesn't have a lot going on for young people,in comparison to Leeds.
There were,however,many advantages to living in Salzburg.For example,get on a train and you can be in Prague,Rome or Krakow within a matter of hours.By the end of my year in Salzburg,I had visited eight other countries in Europe.
After spending a year overseas,I went back to my course in Leeds much more focused on what I wanted to get out of my last year and more appreciative of the opportunities (機會) university provides.The year in Salzburg really showed me that you get a lot more out of a place when you live there compared to when you are just travelling through.I'd recommend all students to spend a year studying abroad if they can.

22.In the author's opinion,what may have prevented his studying abroad?D
A.His not being old enough.
B.His fearing the culture shock.
C.His becoming homesick easily.
D.His not knowing a foreign language.
23.Compared with Leeds University,the university in SalzburgB.
A.provides more social events
B.has longer university years
C.has more foreign students
D.offers more small classes
24.One advantage the author mentions about Salzburg is thatA.
A.it's a good location for travelling
B.it has a high-speed rail network
C.it's the hometown of Mozart
D.it's full of foreign tourists
25.What does the author think of his experience of studying abroad?A
A.He benefited a lot from it.
B.He regretted studying abroad.
C.It was far from what he expected.
D.It badly affected his studies at home.

16.Having a dental fear(牙科恐懼癥)is a common problem.Learning to overcome your fear of the dentist is possible with a little determination and guidance.It is worthwhile to overcome the issue as healthy teeth might help you be healthy physically and spiritually.
Admission
Admitting you have a fear is the first step in overcoming dental fear.When you acknowledge your fear,you can start the process.Dentistry has come a long way over the years.The anesthetics(麻醉)are improved,the techniques are of higher quality and dental offices have a better understanding of these issues you are concerned and all these can help you overcome it.
Research
Speak to family and friends about your fear.Be open and honest about your issues and get feedback from them regarding their dental experiences.You can contact your local Dental Society and express your concerns.Another good approach is to simply call dental offices and get useful information from the front office staff.
First visit
Most dental offices schedule your first visit by a dental assistant.This gives you a chance to ease into the situation.Do not hesitate to express your fear and hesitation.Pay attention to what the assistant says.It can be very useful and it can gently guide you to a new attitude towards dentists.
Relaxation techniques
There are many things you can do to relax yourself.Slow,steady,deep breaths are keys to relax properly.Another aid in relaxation is to bring your iPod to play some relaxing music while you are in the dental chair.Music is a wonderful tool to use and is a helpful distraction.
Facing your fear and making the first dental appointment are necessary for your health.Ignoring your dental health because of your fear will only worsen the issues and cause you to have serious dental problems.

21.We can learn from the first paragraph thatC.
A.few people might have the dental fear
B.it's impossible to overcome the dental fear
C.it's meaningful to overcome the dental fear
D.it's not necessary to pay attention to dental health
22.You can start the process of overcoming dental fear afterA.
A.a(chǎn)dmitting your dental fear
B.a(chǎn)sking advice from other people
C.learning something about dental health
D.making an appointment with a good dentist
23.What should you do when you first visit a dentist?B
A.Ask someone to accompany you.
B.Listen carefully to the assistant's advice.
C.Avoid telling your fear and hesitation.
D.Avoid showing any attitude towards the dentists.
