Leaving India for the United Kingdom to continue my research career, I felt more out of place than before. At
work, I shied away from discussions, let alone putting forward my opinions. I was afraid my colleagues would see
me through and realize how weak I really felt. Some mornings, just stepping out of my room and going into the lab
seemed a challenging task.
That began to change after a quiet breakdown in the lab urged me to contact the university’s mental health
services. I was advised to attend a concert by a famous singer from my motherland. There I was in the packed
concert hall, surrounded by strangers — all of us clapping and singing along to the familiar songs. It was a
complete victory. I’ve changed a lot since then.
Soon, I planned a day trip to a picturesque city a few hours away. As I took pictures of the beautiful
surroundings, and enjoyed a lemonade there, I realized nobody was really paying any attention to me. My
confidence and self-recognition grew as I enjoyed more local day trips. My growing self-confidence carried over to
work, where I started to speak up and put forward my opinions. I began to ask questions during departmental
discussions.
So, when an important conference relevant to our research came around, I felt comfortable registering to
attend on my own even if my colleagues weren’t interested in it. Not only did I meet the speakers, but I also
introduced myself to other attendees and industry representatives, chatting about their products. The experience
inspired me to evaluate my own professional interests.
Since then, I have had confidence to move to other countries, enthusiastic about new opportunities. Traveling
alone did not give me any magical power, but taught me that I have the competence to grow and succeed, just like
everyone around me, and it helped me get rid of the self-doubt that used to hold me back.

7. What is the best title for the text?
A. Further Study in Foreign Countries
B. A Combination of Travel and Research
C. A Bonus of My Research
D. The Road to Becoming Confident
C
Life will probably be very different in 2050. First of all.It seems that TV channels will have vanished by 2050.
Instead, people will choose a program from a “menu”, and the computer will send the program directly to the
television.By 2050, music, films, programs, newspapers and books will come to us in the similar way.
In many places, agriculture is developing quickly and people are growing fruit and vegetables for export. This
uses a lot of water. Therefore, there could be serious shortages of water. Some scientists predict that water could be
the course of worse if we don’t act now.
In the future, cars will run on new clean fuels, and they will go very fast.Cars will have computers to control
the speed and there won’t be any. Today many cars have computers that tell drivers exactly where they are. By
2050，the computer will control the car and drive it to your destination.Also, by2050, space planes will fly people
from Los Angeles to Tokyo in just two hours.
Some big companies now prefer to use robots that do not ask for pay rises or go on strike and work 24 hours a
day. They are also easy to control. And they never argue with people, they can be easily used the variety of places
