四、阅读理解(词数:约 220;建议用时:6 分钟)
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 their favorite
activity—and Australia is their favorite place to visit.
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, gap year work experience allows you to say, “I've
already had some experience of this kind of work.” And that can help you get your
job.
21. More and more students in the UK are taking a "gap year" _______.
A. before they graduate from school

22. ________ is their favorite activity for most students in the UK.

A. who study well in school
B. who have some experience in this kind of work
C. who don't apply for the job
