These days, more and more students in the UK are taking a “gap year”between their graduation from school and their university studies. This means they can take a year off to do something else, before they start their studies.

For most students, spending time in foreign countries is the favorite activity --- and Australia is the favorite place to go.

Many parents, teachers and business people agree that travelling can teach important values.

“After a year of travelling, I felt I’d grown up. I had learnt the importance of relationships with people, on all kinds of levels.”

There are many companies around the world that welcome these students on their projects---helping people in poorer countries, or even in your home country. Although you don’t get paid for your work, this kind of work can teach important skills---decision making and finding answers to problems, for example---that will help many students in a job one day.

Finally, getting some knowledge and experience in an area you hope to study or work in one day will always be very useful.

If several university graduates are applying(申请) for the same job, gar year work experience allows you to say,

“ I’ve already had some experience of this kind of work.” And that can get your job.

语篇翻译

We can’t remember clearly since when we started to take our mobile phones to a dinner table. This happens a lot, especially when we eat out. 65When a dish comes to the table, we take out our phones rather than lift the chopsticks. Later, we post(上传) the photos onto Weibo or Wechat, waiting to be “liked”.

Does that sound familiar to you? If not, how do you feel when others do that when having dinner with you? 66 A study discovers that what we get used to doing is not so good.

To test this, some researchers did an experiment. The result is surprising. 67花时间给食物拍照使得食物没那么美味。In the experiment, some people were asked to take photos before they could enjoy food. It showed that the more photos they took, the worse the food seemed to them.

Besides the result, there are also some other bad influences of taking photos of food before meals. After posting the photos onto the Internet, 68我们在用餐期间会时不时查看我们的手机。“Does everyone like my photos?”

69 The mobile phone is a thing that most people need to use every day. However, next time you go out to have dinner with your family or friends, how about not taking photos of food? Let the food be delicious as it is and share your life with people around you.
