18、e cost of text books and establishment expenses such as rental payment and basic furniture items. The amount spent on food, recreation, and entertainment expenses will vary according to requirements, budget, and location. Those who are prepared to live in shared accommodation, which may not be suita

19、ble for all, might manage on A$10,000 per year. It is preferable for overseas students whose English is in need of practice to take advantage of living in situations with native speakers whenever possible. However, sharing with friends who are easy to communicate with is probably more sensible at fi

20、rst. The above figures do not include the cost of large non-essential items such as household equipment or a car. Owning and maintaining a motor vehicle is expensive in Australia. Insurance is compulsory and costly, and parking both on and off campus can be a problem requiring additional expense. It

21、 is not advisable for a student to own a car unless it is absolutely necessary. A reasonable second hand car can cost more than A$4,000. Educational institutions are almost always serviced by reliable public transport. The university and college campuses within the major cities are well served by pu

22、blic buses. In addition, the larger cities have extensive train systems.

Task 2 Directions: This task is the same as Task 1. The 5 questions or unfinished statements are numbered 41 through 45. 41 Teenagers and yo

27、ung adults in the US are increasingly being diagnosed with skin cancer, according to doctors who warn that the development could lead to an outbreak of deadly aches on the skin as these patients get older. Doctors are especially disturbed by the numbers of younger people they are treating, which sug

28、gests that messages about avoiding the sun still arent getting through and that the tanned skin(晒黑的皮肤 ) that was made popular by French designer Coco Chanel in the 1920s remains a sought-after look today. Although doctors lack the data to know what exactly is behind the rise in skin cancers among yo

29、ung people, they suggest several factors: more time in the sun, improper use of sunscreens and a rise in tanning salon(阳光浴沙龙 ) visits. Skin doctors believe that young people are generally spending more time in the sun than their parents did and are either not using enough sunscreen or failing to app

30、ly it properly. They also claimed that many Americans, including the young, are spending more vacation hours in sunny climates than in previous decades. In a study published in 1997 in the American Academy of Dermatology, a research team led by Dr June Robinson at Northwestern University Medical Sch

31、ool found that during the decade ending in 1996, the number of Americans who reported at least one severe sunburn rose from 30 percent to 39 percent. 41 Doctors feel really worried that _. （ A） their patients will soon get older （ B） adults are diagnosed with skin cancer （ C） there is an outbreak of

36、ng a cold. Contrary to popular belief, colds are not caused by exposure to severe weather. Colds are caused by viruses in the body, and you are better off out on the ski slopes or even waiting for the bus on a snowy day than you are in a cozy room, surrounded by friends, or fellow students, who just

37、 may be sick. A chill is an early sign of illness. Its the cold that caused the chill, not the other way around. While the virus can spread through droplets(微滴 ) propelled into the air when a cold sufferer coughs or sneezes(打喷嚏 ), surprisingly, this is not the most common route of transmission. Nume

38、rous studies have now shown that the majority of colds are caught by hand contact.

Frequently hand-washing on the part of the cold-sufferer as well as other members of the family wil
