19、udent from Ukraine when I was fourteen years old. I went to a wonderful school, West Catholic High School, for my freshman year.I remember my first day at that school as if it were yesterday. I was very nervous, and I could feel my heartbeat on the tips of my toes. My main fear was that I would not
20、be able to express myself due to the language barrier. I was trying to have as little communication as I possibly could. And I almost succeeded, until we had to introduce ourselves in front of the class.And the moment the word “international” flew out of my mouth, I was surrounded by thirty people w
21、ho were asking questions one after another. I remember some of the questions were “Where is Ukraine? Is it a kingdom?” “Do you have McDonalds? Does it taste the same?” and “Say something in your language”. It turned out to be the opposite of less communication, but it was so much fun.During the firs
22、t three months, I certainly experienced a bit of cultural shock. I think Americans are the nicest people I have ever met in my entire life. They always smile and say, “Hi, how are you?”One day, I noticed the students looking at me suspiciously. Finally, my classmate came up to my locker and whispere
23、d, “Is that true that you are a princess and that you came to study here so that nobody would recognize you?” At one point, I even had an image of myself wearing a gown (长袍) and waving at the crowd. What? People do have a wild imagination!During my study abroad experience, I saw a totally new world,

27、ment later. C. The author got lots of benefits through studying abroad.D. The author always told her classmates about her cultural background.CAt any discussion of a job offer, money can be a deal breaker. Negotiating an attractive deal, however, can be hard for many job candidates because they lack
28、 the necessary skills or simply because theyre so concerned that pushing for a high salary can cost them the job.These factors certainly can be hurdles (障碍), but it doesnt mean that you give up trying to get the best deal you can get. Needless to say, if money isnt a big factor in your decision, you
29、 still need to make sure that the deal youre accepting is fair compared to whats offered in the market. Selling yourself short once can impact your future salaries and set you back financially.Here are common mistakes that many jobseekers commit in negotiating money.Negotiate too early. Timing is of
30、 importance in any negotiation, and negotiating a salary too early in the process can cost you dearly. Many employers, in fact, rank this as one of the biggest mistakes job candidates make. The best timing to begin a salary discussion is after you and your future employer are nearly sure that youve
31、been selected for the position.Abandon professionalism. Its common that people, after going through a long recruitment process, can be shocked that the salary offered is significantly 7below their expectations. If you find yourself in this situation, dont abandon your professional attitude or throw
32、a fit. This likely will get you nowhere except the door.Therere two options to this situation: the first is that the employer is inflexible (不灵活的) about the budget, and in this case, you may just leave and make a graceful exit from the hiring process.The second option is that theres some negotiation
33、 room for the hiring manager with other decision makers in the organization. If this is the case, you may be surprised that a final push with a positive attitude and a well-delivered presentation about your skills and market price can get you closer to your expected salary.

37、tless. While people are annoyed by it, experts suggest summer is the best season to discharge 8(排放) your bodys toxins (毒素) and recover your energy.One popular option is hot-stone massage (按摩). Therapists use smooth and heated stones, usually river rocks, to massage certain parts of the body, or plac
38、e them on key points of the body.

The hot-stone bath will help the body discharge toxins and
39、 humidity (湿气) that accumulated during the last winter. Summer is the best season to build a good body. Rather than use water or steam to heat and wash the body, people simply wear a coat or something comfortable, and then lie on heated stone tablets made of hot stones, which are warmed to around 45
40、oC. The body will gradually warm up and blood circulation will also be improved. More sweat will come out quickly.
