Passage 1外汇储备有什么用
Dear Merry，
Recently, I have trouble with my study.
In school I can't listen to teachers carefully becau I always feel tired and sleepy. I don't spend time with friends after class either becau I think it's a waste of time. I even miss writing some answers in the test.
At home, I can't get my homework done every night. My parents don't let me stay up. So I have to get up early the next morning to finish it. Lately, I even get a bad headache.
How can I solve the problems?
Yours，
Liu Ya
Dear Liu Ya，
When you have trouble listening to teachers carefully in class, you_can_ask_your_teachers_or_deskmate_to_remind_you_often. Then spending time talking about many different things with friends can make you happy. It's not a waste of time. As for homework, when it's hard to get finished, one thing you can try is tting goals for yourlf. Ask your parents to help you. You must take a break, especially if you don't feel well. You might be surprid but a short break can help you get more done! Lastly, if you don't worry and have enough sleep, your headache will leave you.
Yours，
Merry

Passage 2带有人体器官的四字词语
During my first two weeks at the University of California, Berkeley, I experienced some unexpected, funny, and sometimes embarrassing(令人尴尬的)situations. Allow me to share some with you.
But first, let me give advice to other foreign students who plan to study in the United States. Check the weather before coming! I was very sure that California was sunny all year around so I left all my jackets and sweaters in Paris. It was a huge mistake! It rained almost every day during the first week in Berkeley.
I have to say that I quickly forgot the unlucky events. Life in Berkeley is very pleasant a
nd everything is so easy compared to Paris. For example, in only 24 hours I bought a mobile phone and made the lea(租约)agreement for a flat. What's more, almost all the shops are open on Sunday, which is very practical for me.
The first thing that surprid me is that students may come late to class. They freely enter and leave the classroom many times during class. In France, students respect the teacher's lesson, so they are never late and they leave the classroom only at the end of the class.
黄山的怪石
The local people in California are in general very nice, open and active. However, I am not totally ud to their habits yet. Indeed, I was ud to shaking my friends' hands every day in France. During my cond day at Berkeley, I shook the hand of one of my classmates whom I had met the day before and he told me “I think we already met！”
Another funny story happened during the first party I attended: A girl that I met before came to hug me, I thought she wanted to kiss me like we usually do in France to say hello. So I kisd her and she emed a little bit embarrasd.
I live a great experience at prent, and I would just encourage any student to become a member in a program at UC, Berkeley.
( )1. According to the writer's advice, before students study in America, they should ________.
