It was a dream come true to study at one of the oldest and best universities in the world.I enjoyed living and
studying in Oxford which is little old town with rich history and beautiful buildings.The studying pace was very fast
and demanding.However,there was still enough room to have fun with friends from my cohort ()I really enjoyed
the social life and being surrounded by like-minded people from all around the world.
I was surprised by how diverse the student body was when I arrived in Oxford.It is a melting pot (of
extremely smart and talented people from different cultures and socioeconomic backgrounds.
Another shock I experienced was the obvious divide between students and locals.Oxford is after all not just a
university but also a town inhabited (by locals.Although we all share the same space,there is almost no
interaction between the students and the locals.
During my studies,I could not work because there simply wasn't enough time to balance a demanding academic
program and a job.Luckily I was on a scholarship that covered all of my costs so I didn't have to worry about it.At the
end of my master's program,I interned (at the Open Society Foundations.
I come from a low-income family in Croatia,and as a young person,I never thought I would be able to visit places
like the UK,let alone study at a world-famous and expensive university like Oxford.Later I realized that there are
actually many scholarships and programs that help students like me gain access to higher education.I would
recommend young students from disadvantaged backgrounds to think big and not give up on their dreams.The doors
will open for those who are determined and positive.

The "hedgehog (dilemma"is a famous metaphor from German philosopher Arthur Schopenhauer.
In his 1851 book,he described how humans struggle with relationships through a story about hedgehogs.
His advice was simple:keep your distance.
This sad story became widely discussed.Sigmund Freud and modern scientists studied this idea.In
2015,an award-winning short film called Hedgehog retold this story.
How does this apply to real life?Most people remember being hurt by close relationships-broken
friendships,family conflicts,or romantic betrayals.Since these connections matter deeply,their damage
hurts more.Should we stop trusting others?Schopenhauer said yes,but science would say otherwise.
A study in PLOS Medicine reviewing 148 studies with over 300,000 people found those with strong
social connections live 50%longer.The National Institute on Aging wams that loneliness harms health as
much as smoking 15 cigarettes daily-making Schopenhauer's advice concerning.
When hurt repeatedly,people often fall into defense mode.Relationship expert Hilary Sanders explains
common defense behaviors:going silent during arguments,seeing normal comments as criticism,or
overreacting to small issues.These reactions often start in childhood.If parents often criticized or classmates
bullied someone,they might develop habits like pretending not to care or getting angry easily.While these
helped survive childhood pain,they cause problems in adult relationships when used unconsciously.
The good news is people can change.Through therapy,many leam to recognize their defense pattems
and understand their origins.Couples can improve relationships by leaming each other's emotional triggers
and responding thoughtfully instead of arguing.However,Sanders wars that defenses shouldn't be removed
suddenly-it's like taking down a wall brick by brick.
Although Schopenhauer focused on the pain of closeness,the hedgehog story actually shows our deep
need for connection.Unlike real hedgehogs,humans aren't bom with physical spines.By carefully lowering
our defenses around trustworthy people,we might truly enjoy both warmth and safety in relationships.
8.Why does the author mention the hedgehog dilemma in paragraph 1?
A.To stress its importance.
B.To support Schopenhauer's advice.
C.To recommend Schopenhauer's book.
D.To introduce the theme of relationship.
9.What is Schopenhauer's key solution to the"hedgehog dilemma"?
A.Ignore pain.B.Seek therapy.C.Avoid closeness.D.Build walls.
10.What major evidence goes against Schopenhauer's advice?
A.Freud's studies.
B.Long life from social ties.
C.Henry's short film.
D.Defense behavior of people.
11.What does Sanders say about close connection?
A.People should make gradual progress in it.B.Humans can benefit from it unconsciously.
C.It can help children relieve childhood pain.D.Couples should leam to defend it thoughtfully.

We all know that water is tasteless.But it happens from time to time:you pick up the bottle of water
you didn't finish yesterday,and it tastes strange.Most often,you tend to drop the bottle in the trash bin,
believing that the water has gone bad.But is it true?
According to Time,of course not,taste has little to do with quality of water.As is mentioned in Time.
when water is exposed to the air for 12 hours,carbon dioxide interacts with the H20 in the water,and the pH value
lowers slightly.As a result,the water has a different taste.
"But it's most likely safe to drink,"Norwegian expert Truls Krogh told Science Nordic."If the water is covered
and of good quality to start with,in principle it can last a thousand years.That's because when water is fresh,it contains
little organic matter.As long as water is held in clean glasses cr bottles,no pollutants will enter it to harm our health."
People in countries like the US,the UK and Australia usually drink tap water.According to Time,if tap water is
drunk within six months,the chlorine (in the water will be enough to kill any bacteria and keep it safe to drink.
However,there are also some exceptions.If you accidentally put your fingers into water or store water in unclean
containers day after day,microorganism will enter the water.With the help of surrounding temperature,and
sunlight streaming through windows,these microorganisms multiply quickly.Sooner or later,the water will be full of
the unfriendly bacteria.And if you drink the water too often,then you're more likely to be ill.
And what about water in plastic bottles?Heat and plastic are a bad combination,US researcher Kellogg Schwab
stresses.When plastic bottles are used at high temperatures,they produce a chemical called BPA.BPA is something that
affects hormones (and research has tentatively linked it to "several health damage,including heart disease and
cancer",Time reported.
Schwab suggests replacing disposable (plastic bottles with the refillable containers made of metal or
glass to deal with BPA.
12.The purpose of the first paragraph is to
A.introduce a topic
B.draw a conclusion
C.show an example
D.analyze a phenomenon
13.Which of the following may Truls Krogh agree?
A.Covered water can last for a thousand years.
B.If the water tastes different,we shouldn't drink it.
C.Although kept fresh,water may still have much organic matter.
D.The water held in a clean container is likely safe to drink.
14.Why do water microorganisms increase in number?
A.Because the water is stored in clean containers.
B.Because of the surrounding temperature and sunlight.
C.Because the water contains a lot of organic matter.
D.Because chlorine in the water fails to kill bacteria.
15.What can be the best title of the passage?
A.Why Water Is Tasteless
B.How to Get Clean Water
C.Does Water Really Go Bad?
D.Learn to Protect Water
