If you have been feeling that the past year was too full of negativity and your social media timelines threw nothing but depressing stuff at you, the Oxford Dictionarie 36 you. The dictionarie’s Word of the Year for 2018 is “toxic”, meaning poisonous.

According to Oxford, the word of the year “is a word or expression that is judged to 37 the attitudes, mood of the 38 year, and have lasting potential as a term of 39 significance.”“Toxic” won the honor 40 the variety of things that people have been feeling are 41 to their health and happiness—air, water, Presidents, partners, celebrities, their fans.

The word ‘toxic’ developed from the Greek myths—arrows with 42 tips used by the ancient Greeks. But the arrows people have been feeling directed at them this year are not 43 of misfortune. The nouns that have been most commonly used with ‘toxic’ are depressingly 44 —‘chemical’, ‘substance’, ‘gas’, ‘environment’, ‘relationship’, ‘culture’, ‘waste’. Some of these might look like chemistry students were dominating the year’s 45 , but the reality is scarier.

“Toxic chemical” became a 46 word because of the nerve poisoning of a former Russian spy Sergei Skripal in the UK in March this year. 47 , ‘toxic waste’,’ toxic gas’, ‘toxic substance’, became popular as air and water pullution 48 dangerously across the world.

49 , a “toxic environment” is not always used in the conversation of ecology. The term was also used to 50 workplaces to friends to homes that affected people’s 51 and peace of mind negatively.

So did things get especially bad this year, or did people just 52 more?

While the 53 of the term can be used to dismiss its seriousness—people are just interested in a new word and throwing it around 54 —the fact that they chose “toxic” indicates the bleakness (凄凉), and hope of the 55 we live in. 36. A.believes B.discourages C.fails D.denies 37. A.influence B.report C.reflect D.change 38. A.lost B.current C.following D.passing 39. A.chemical B.cultural C.environmental D.ethnical 40.

AHN is the only standards based nationally focused homestay organization in Australia. We have decades of experience in managing homestays for international students, using proven methods, standards, training, and a communications network to ensure that every student, and every host, has a safe, culturally rich experience. Our hosts offer more than rooms for rent; they offer a support system and authentic interest in welcoming a student to Australia.

Superior Homestay Experiences

We believe that choosing a homestay for accommodation when coming to a new country ensures a more successful experience for international students. Our students can expect to enjoy a supportive, friendly home while adjusting to Australian culture and the community they will be living in. Our program includes:

* Homestay management and support throughout the entire homestay experience * Extensive national criminal background checks for hosts

* Student support services including banking and transportation

* Comprehensive online training and orientation for hosts and students * Professionally staffed 24/7 critical incident contact centre * Management of all homestay payments for students and hosts How Our Homestays Work

AHN will match each student with a host family located near the student’s place of education. The host will provide the student with a private bedroom, an agreed upon meal plan, and will assist the student in learning the local customs and transportation systems, as well as generally helping the student become acquainted with the Australian way of life. Students are encouraged to share information about their home cultures and countries, as our hosts also wish to have a unique cultural experience.

Our Hosts

Our hosts are carefully selected to ensure that our students are placed in environments that are not only safe and comfortable but also welcoming. Our hosts are truly interested in enjoying a shared cultural experience with their students. We stay in contact with both the host and the student during the homestay period. We want all visiting students to have the most positive
