   Leaving the home country, wherever that might be, is as scary of a thought as it is enthralling. To those seeking a life abroad or moving to another foreign country, here is some advice.
   【R1】______
   Moving is a money wormhole. What you can do to reduce the moving cost, as well as living comfortably thereafter, is to remember frugality. You will be tempted to fill your new residence with ornaments and appliances you did not have before. Pace yourself. Embrace minimalism. Treasure the heartfelt belongings that came with you from the home country. Budget for rent, utilities and food. Then slowly look into second-hand items or ethnic goods that will be of lower cost. Pinch those pennies until you do not fret over the days between paychecks. Continue to spend wisely, because you never know what will happen.
   【R2】______
   There is a spike of helplessness that often makes even the strongest of women break down while living abroad. You might not get the best treatment from the locals. You might consider relying heavily on those that do show kindness and concern. Don’t. At least not 100%. Just by taking the leap and going out into this crazy world to start anew, you have achieved something commendable. You have proven you are a strong, independent person capable of taking on the challenge of emigrating alone. Keep that in the back of your mind. Do things alone, even if it means getting lost, confused and frustrated. Those moments of sheer solidarity in your life are what will make you grow astronomically.
   【R3】______
   Similar to staying independent, be inquiring. If something does not seem right, it probably isn’t. Women have the incredible ability to read emotions and energy. Question your surroundings, question the culture, question the methods of life—and then weigh the answers with your own intuition. Not only that, question things as a local would: Where can I get this item for cheaper? Are the offerings seasonal, or can I get what I need year round?
   【R4】______
   We are human beings. Expect to make huge blunders—cultural and otherwise. The country you emigrate to will undoubtedly have different societal norms than the place you are coming from. Even if you do not experience culture shock, be prepared to run into various barriers. Should the country use a different language than the one you are fluent in, be prepared to mess up when speaking to the locals. Better yet, mess up on purpose so that you can learn from your mistakes. Observe how the locals react when you hover a finger over a button labeled "cultural no-no" then keep it in the back of your mind.
   【R5】______
   The world you left behind means testing the limits of relationships. There is going to be people who do not accept your decision and cast you off. Do not get discouraged by the sudden distance from friends and family, because family does not have to be blood. By staying independent, putting yourself out there in the world and showing eagerness to assimilate, you will attract a new set of individuals into your life who accept you for who you are and expect you to simply be. Building a life abroad is not easy, but when you have a support, you will do it much easier.
【R1】
选项
答案B
解析 本段前两句指出搬家花费很大，因此要学会节俭。其中第二句的to remember frugality即为本段所提的建议，B项的Be frugal表达了这个意思，frugal为frugality的词性转换。此外，文中的Embrace minimalism、Budget for、Pinch those pennies及spend wisely也是节俭的具体做法，故B为答案。
