Hey there，
So you’re about to spend four years of your life and tens of thousands of dollars of your parents’ money，and all you really know about college is that all of your friends are going.Do you ever stop to wonder why you’re going?
Relax.You’re making the right decision.First of all，you’ll discover what interests you by taking courses in many subjects.For example，it’s hard to decide if you want to be a painter if you’ve never painted any pictures；once you’re in a drawingroom on campus，you’ll know one way or the other.College is also a lot of fun—after you graduate，you’ll be working every weekday for 50 or so years.And remember that college graduates earn about twice the income of those who never attend college.
Finding the right college can be difficult.Fortunately，Johnson Review is here to help you every step of the way.
*Researching Schools.To us，the most important decision you’ll make is to choose the school that really fits you best—not the one that is the most competitive or has the bestequipped rooms.
*Applying to School.On JohnsonReview.com，you’ll find hundreds of actual college applications and links to many more.
*Raising Your Scores.American College Test is one of the most difficult parts of the admissions course.It’s not the most important， though，and not everyone needs to prepare for the test.But，if you think you can do better，find the right course for better scores.
*Paying for School.Most families need financial aid for the high cost of college.The problem is that financial aid seems difficult to get and many families get caught up in the price of college rather than learning the ways to get financial aid.If you really do your research，you’ll learn that you can afford to attend any college，no matter the cost.

When you are traveling in Thailand, which means of transport is the best choice?
You can rent a variety of motorbikes or bikes in Thailand. It seems to be very popular in most of the beaches and islands along the places in the north. The most popular bikes are the little 125 cc Honda Dream which you can get for about 150 baht (铢) a day or as little as 3,000 baht per month, making it the cheapest way to tour Thailand for the people from other countries.
Sometimes you will have to go somewhere by taxi. When you are in cities in Thailand, especially in Bangkok, always remember to get a taxi that is going on the roads. Some drivers outside hotels refuse to use the milometer (计程表). They will ask a price which is several times the price when they use the meter!
The quality of the roads in Thailand is generally pretty good, so renting cars is another way to get around. The big car rental companies may offer you slightly older cars at a very reasonable (合理的) price. It is a little surprising considering that the cost of buying a car in Thailand is more than that in the West. Petrol is also reasonably priced in Thailand, more expensive than American prices, but much cheaper than what is paid in Europe. In the past, Bangkok could be a difficult place to drive in — signs were generally in Thai only, making it a hard job to find exactly where you were by looking around. But now, the situation is improved. In a lot of places, even the farthest corners of the country, street signs are in both Thai and English.
1.To a foreigner, the cheapest way to get around Thailand is renting a ________.
A. car B. taxi C. bike D. motorbike
2.What is the writer's advice about taking a taxi in Thailand?
A. To take a taxi driving on the road.
B. To take a taxi parked outside hotels.
C. To make sure there is a meter in it.
D. To bargain with the driver over the price.
3.It was difficult to drive in Bangkok in the past because ________.
A. there were too many traffic jams on the roads
B. there were no signs showing directions
C. the signs were written only in their own language
D. the quality of the roads was not good
