MY 25,000 WONDERS OF THE WORLD
The coaches at the Uluru Sunset Viewing Area were parked three deep. Guides were putting up tables
and setting out wines and snacks. Ten minutes to go. Are we ready? Five minutes, folks. Got your cameras?

OK, here it comes ...
Whether an American backpacker or a wealthy traveller, Danish, British, French, we all saw that
sunset over Uluru, or Ayer Rock, in what seems to be the prescribed tourist manner: mouth full of corn chips,
glass full of Château Somewhere, and a loved one posing in a photo's foreground, as the all-time No 1
Australian icon behind us glowed briefly red.
Back on the coach, our guide declared our sunset to be 'pretty good', although not the best she'd
witnessed in her six years. Behind me, Adam, a student from Manchester, reinserted his iPod earphones:
'Well, that's enough of that rock.' Indeed. Shattered from getting up at five in order to see Uluru at dawn, I felt
empty and bored. What was the point? What made this rock the definitive sunset rock event? Why had we
come here? Well, I suppose my sons would remember it always. Except they'd missed the magical moment
while they checked out a rival tour group's snack table, which had better crisps.
So now I've visited four of the “25 Wonders of the World", as decreed by Rough Guides. And I think
this will be the last. While in my heart I can see myself wondering enchanted through China's Forbidden City,
in my head I know I would be standing grumpily at the back of a group listening to some Imperial Palace Tour
Guide. At the Grand Canyon I would be getting angr with tourists watching it through cameras – eyes are not
good enough, since they lack a recording facility.
As we become richer and consumer goods are more widely affordable, and satisfy us only briefly
before becoming obsolete, we turn to travel to provide us with 'experiences’. These will endure, set us apart
from stay-at-home people and maybe, fill our lives with happiness and meaning, Books with helpful titles like
1,000 Places to See Before You Die are bestsellers. I'd bet many backpacks on the Machu Picchu Inca Trail


are filled with copies, with little tieks penciled in the margins after each must-see sight has been visited.
Travel is now the biggest industry on the planet, bigger than armaments or pharmaceuticals. And yet viewing
the main sight of any destination is rarely the highlight of a trip. Mostly it sits there on your itinerary like a
duty visit to a dull relative. The guilt of not visiting the Sistine Chapel, because we preferred to stay in a bar
drinking limoncello, almost spoilt a weekend in Rome.
In Queensland, the Great Barrier Reef reproached us. How could we travel 15,000 miles without
seeing it? How would we explain back home that we were too lazy, and preferred to stay playing a ball game
in our hotel pool? In the end, we went to the reef and it was fine. But it won't rank highly in the things I'll

never forget about Australia. Like the fact that the banknotes are made of waterproof plastic: how gloriously
Australian is that? Even after a day's surfing, the $50 note you left in your surfing shorts is still OK to buy you
beer! And the news item that during a recent tsunami warning, the surfers at Bondi Beach refused to leave the
sea: what, and miss the ride of their lives? Or the stern warning at the hand luggage X-ray machine at Alice
Springs airport: "No jokes must be made whilst being processed by this facility' - to forestall, no doubt,
disrespectful Aussie comments: 'You won't find the bomb, mate. It's in my suitcase.’
The more I travel, the clearer it seems that the truth of a place is in the tiny details of everyday life, not
in its most glorious statues or scenery. Put down your camera, throw away your list, the real wonders of the
world number indefinitely more than 25.
23. What did the author think or feel after seeing the sunset over Ayer Rock?
A. She thought it was pretty good.
B. She felt exhausted, empty, and bored.
C. She thought that was enough.
D. She thought this rock was the definitive sunset rock event.
24 Why does she think that Uluru is probably the last 'wonder of the world' she will see?
A. She doesn't like wandering around the wonders.
B. She doesn't enjoy the Imperial Palace Tour Guide.
C. She doesn't like watching the wonder through a camera.
D. She doesn't want to explore the sites the way people around her do.
25. What kind of tourists is she criticising when she says 'eyes are not good enough' in paragraph 4?
A. those who stand grumpily at the back of the group
B. those who wander enchanted through the site
C. those who look at the wonders through their cameras
D. those who lack a recording facility
26. According to the author, what do a lot of backpackers carry with them nowadays?
A. books with helpful titles
B. books that are bestsellers
C. copies of must-see sights
D. little pencils
27 All of the following are mentioned in the article as memorable aspects of Australia EXCEPT ____.

A. banknotes made of waterproof plastic
B. the fine visit to the Great Barrier Reef
C. the surfers at Bondi Beach refusing to leave the sea despite tsunami warning
D. the stern warning at the hand luggage X-ray machine at Alice Springs airport.
Read the following passage and write the letter T (True), F (False) or Not given (NG) to indicate the
correct answer to each of the questions.
How to live independently is, probably, one of the questions that are most frequently asked by people, young
and old. According to experts, there are a number of steps that people who want to become independent
should follow. Below are some of them.
First, you should believe in yourself. That is the first and most important condition to make others believe in
you. If you don't have faith in yourself, you will always turn to others for help every time you have to make a


decision. Believing in yourself will make you trust your own decisions, even if they completely go against
someone else's.
Second, get your own information. You should watch and read the news from different sources. It's important
to read as much as possible, whether it is literature or daily newspapers. The information you get from reading
will allow you to get both sides of every story before you form an opinion.. Being well-informed will keep
you from being a follower and will lead to more independent thought.
Third, maintain solid friendships. You don't have to reject people as friends to be independent. .In fact, your
independence is reinforced with good friends. When your friend needs someone to talk to, be there for them,
and listen to their problems with sympathetic and understanding attitude. This way, you will not only help
your friends, but their stories will help you to learn how to deal with similar situations that may come up to
you later in your life.
28. You should believe in yourself so that other people will help you when you have to make a decision.
____________
29. If you believe in yourself, you won't be afraid that your decisions are different from those of other people.
____________
30. You should watch and read news on both TV and the Internet. _____________
31. When you have a lot of information, you can think more independently. _______________

Studying overseas is an experience that is exciting, rewarding, and challenging. Students that choose to
study abroad undergo a significant transition that requires a great deal of sacrifice, adaptability, and
determination. While studying overseas presents a great opportunity for students to learn about different
cultures, learn new languages, and experience new things, it is not without challenges, and several factors can
affect a student's ability to cope with and overcome these obstacles.
One of the biggest challenges of studying overseas is the issue of language barrier. Unless the student
is studying in an English-speaking country, they are likely to encounter difficulties with communication and
comprehension. The language barrier can make basic tasks such as ordering food and navigating through the
local area difficult, and can potentially be a huge obstacle to academic success. To overcome this challenge,
many students take language courses or enroll in language programs to learn the language spoken in their host
country. This helps them to communicate more effectively, make friends, and become more independent.
Another challenge that students face when studying overseas is culture shock. Culture shock can occur when
students encounter customs, beliefs, and ways of life that are different from those they are accustomed to. This
can make students feel disoriented, isolated, and homesick. To cope with culture shock, it is important for
students to keep an open mind, learn about the local culture, and immerse themselves in social activities.
Financial constraints can also pose a challenge to overseas study. Studying abroad can be expensive, and

students must be prepared to meet the financial demands of overseas education. Tuition fees, living expenses,
travel expenses, and other costs can add up quickly, and it is important for students to have a realistic budget
and financial assistance where necessary.
Additionally, logistics issues such as visas, flights, and accommodation can also present challenges to
studying overseas. These activities can be time-consuming and stressful, and students must be prepared to
research, plan, and navigate through these processes.
In conclusion, studying overseas can present a plethora of benefits to students, but also several
challenges. Language barriers, culture shock, financial constraints, and logistics issues are just some of the
challenges that students face when studying overseas. To cope with and overcome these obstacles, students


must be resilient, adaptable and willing to learn. With the right support and attitude, studying overseas can be
a life-changing experience that shapes an individual's personal and professional growth.
23. What is the main focus of the passage?
A. The benefits of studying abroad
B. The challenges of studying overseas
C. Tips for adjusting to a new culture
D. The financial implications of studying abroad
24. What is identified as one of the biggest challenges for students studying overseas?
A. Finding affordable accommodation
B. Adapting to different climates
C. Overcoming social isolation
D. Dealing with language barriers
25. How can students overcome the challenge of language barriers when studying overseas?
A. Engaging in cultural activities
B. Seeking financial assistance
C. Taking language courses or programs
D. Planning and budgeting effectively
26. Which of the following can be inferred from the passage?
A. Studying abroad is financially unattainable for most students .

B. Language barrier can make basic tasks difficult for students .
C. Overcoming culture shock involves learning about the local culture.
D. Logistics issues do not present challenges to studying overseas.
27. How can students effectively overcome the challenge of language barriers when studying overseas?
