Independence has been an issue of the Moldova of Gagauzia for years. Though its people are poor and rely on agriculture to survive, they cherish their language and culture deeply. Their lives are governed by the land, but their hearts are governed by the for identity.

The little-known is small, with just three towns and a population of 160, 000, and was formed out of a 19th century competition between the Ottoman and Russian empires. The landscape comes alive in spring and summer, but the winter is , -10 or -15 degrees Celsius. Nobody is on the streets. The people stay at home and wait for spring to arrive so they can start working in the fields again.

Though independence was gained in 1994, the people are satisfied theoretically but not . Agriculture is their only livelihood. In the morning they have to take the sheep up to the fields. Then they come back to milk the cows and make their own milk and cheese. Deeply by modern life, the younger don't enjoy this kind of life and go abroad. It seemed that their independence is not .

Houses of Culture — an old from the Soviet era—are still all around. But if the younger generation continues to work abroad, the culture will eventually disappear.

2. Directions: Read the passage and choose the best answer to each question.

One 2013 survey of 485 adults in the U. S. linked travel to enhanced attention, energy, and focus. Other research suggests that the act of adapting to foreign cultures may also facilitate creativity. But what about the act of planning a trip?

Planning a trip can be almost as enjoyable as going on the trip itself. A 2014 Cornell University study looked into how looking forward to an experience (like a trip) can increase a person's happiness considerably—much more so than the anticipation of buying material goods. An earlier study, published by the University of Surrey in 2002, found that people are at their happiest when they have a vacation planned.

Amit Kumar, one of the co-authors of the Cornell study, explains that the benefits are less about obsessing over the finer points of a journey than they are about connecting with other people. 44 Travelers end up talking to people more about their experiences than they talk about material purchases, " he says. "Compared to possessions, experiences make for better story material. "

Kumar's co-author Matthew Killingsworth, now a senior fellow at the Wharton School at the University of Pennsylvania, says trip-planning encourages an optimistic outlook.

"As humans, we spend a lot of our mental lives living in the future," says Killingsworth, whose work centers on understanding the nature and causes of human happiness. "Our future-mindedness can be a source of joy if we know good things are coming, and travel is an especially good thing to look forward to. "

One reason Killingsworth thinks that planning travel can be such a positive experience is the fact that trips arc temporary. "Since we know a trip has a defined start and end, our minds are likely to enjoy it, even before it's started," he says. "Sometimes people even prefer to delay good experiences like a trip so they can extend the period of excitement."

There's another reason why travel planning can produce happiness: We often know enough about a trip to imagine it and look forward to it—but there's also enough novelty and uncertainty lo keep our minds interested.

"In a sense, we start to 'consume' a trip as soon as we start thinking about it, " Killingsworth says." When we imagine eating gelato, the famous ice cream in Rome or going water skiing with friends we don't see as much as we'd like, we get to experience a version of those events in our mind. "

Planning for travel—thinking about it, talking about it, imagining it—may in fact be one of the best things you can do to stay optimistic.

(1) What does the word "anticipation" in paragraph 2 mean? A. Worry. B. Experience. C. Benefit D. Expectation.
(2) According to Amit Kumar, the more important reason why trip is beneficial is that _________. A. the finer points of a journey become a good memory B. travelers can make up better stories based on their trips C. more chances are given to make contact with local people D. travel experiences provide more topics for communication
(3) According to Matthew Killingsworth, planning a trip can make people happy because __________. A. they are able to have their exciting trip extended B. something good is believed to happen in the future C. the enough knowledge of a (rip arouses their interests D. humans' happiness comes from their future experience
(4) What is the best title for the passage? A. Why planning trips helps mental health? B. Why a trip needs to be planned ahead? C. Why travelers should be optimistic? D. Why people are keen on traveling?

Going hand in hand with the exhaustive study are the expectations that parents, friends and teachers have for the students. They make the situation9for them by deciding which universities they should go to. Most parents do not comprehend the problems their high school children go through.
