The other day I announced that I would go abroad for further studies right after my college education. My decision evoked (引起) the immediate objection of my family: Why? Why should I borrow a huge sum of money for overseas studies while I might receive the same education at home at a relatively low cost? My answer is: In addition to knowledge, I can gain experience that those who stay at home will never have. First, experience is the opportunity for the real-life use of foreign languages. While a person can study a foreign language at home, the effect can never be compared with constant use of the language in academic and everyday life. There is no better opportunity to improve second-language skills than living in the country in which it is spoken. Living in English-speaking countries such as America and Australia for several years, for example, my English will be as perfect as native speakers. Second, living and studying abroad offers me a different perspective on the world. On a university campus, foreign students are likely to encounter their counterparts (对应的人或物) from different countries and areas and are exposed to different ideas and values. This helps me to have a meaningful understanding of different societies and inevitably see my own country in a new light. Third, overseas experience, frustrating and painful as it may be, is helpful. A person going abroad for study often experiences much more difficulties—difficulties in adapting to a new culture and in dealing with all problems alone. Yet, the difficulty, coupled with the frustration brought on by culture shock, is a rewarding experience for one’s future life and development of personality. Although going abroad is expensive and perhaps painful, the payoff is worthwhile. For the benefit is not merely knowledge gained, but the experience desirable in one’s personal life.

The human body has developed its millions of nerves to be highly aware of what goes on both inside and outside of it. This helps us adjust to the outside world. Without our nerves and our brain, which is a system of nerves, we couldn’t know what’s happening. But we pay for our sensitivity. We can feel pain when the slightest thing is wrong with any part of our body. The history of torture (折磨) is based on the human body being open to pain. But there is a way to handle pain. Look at the Indian fakir (苦行僧) who sits on a bed of nails. Fakirs can put a needle right through an arm, and feel no pain. This ability that some humans have developed to handle pain should give us ideas about how the mind can deal with pain. The big thing in withstanding pain is our attitude toward it. If the dentist says, “This will hurt a little,“ it helps us to accept the pain. By staying relaxed, and by treating the pain as an interesting sensation (感觉), we can handle the pain without falling apart. After all, although pain is an unpleasant sensation, it is still a sensation, and sensations are the stuff of life.

Dear Mr. Black, We are a mid-sized accounting firm. Our staff members are not happy with our current insurance plan, so we are looking into other alternatives. The insurance company we use now has recently raised its rates, while at the same time the quality of service has gotten worse. Naturally, we are not happy about paying more money for poorer service. Therefore, we are interested in learning more about your Health Care system. Could you please mail a packet of information to me? Also, I would appreciate it if you could answer the following questions: First, our employees want to choose their own doctors. Does your program allow this? Second, do your doctors have weekend and evening hours? Our employees have busy work schedules, and it is not always convenient for them to go to appointments during regular business hours. Thank you for your help. Sincerely, Susan Smith Human Resources Manager Questions:

Everyone has heard warnings about the “freshman 15.“ But is it true that many college students gain 15 pounds during their first year at school? Recent studies find that some first-year students are indeed likely to gain weight—but it might not be the full freshman 15, and it may not all happen during freshman year. That might sound like good news, but it’s not.(15)Doctors are concerned that students who gradually put on pounds are establishing a pattern of weight gain that could lead to trouble if it continues.(16)Studies show that students on average gain three to ten pounds during their first two years of college. Most of this weight gain occurs during the first semester of freshman year. College offers many temptations. You’re on your own and free to eat what you want, when you want it. You can eat dinners of French fries and ice cream in the dining hall, and can have an “additional meal“ during late-night study. In addition, you may not get as much exercise as you did in high school. College is also a time of change,(17)and the stress of adjusting to school can trigger overeating. People sometimes eat in response to anxiety, homesickness, sadness, or stress, and all of these can be part of adapting to being away at school. 15. What kind of students are doctors concerned about? 16. How many pounds do students usually gain during the first two years at college? 17. What causes stress in some first-year college students? Students who eat four meals every day. Students who put on weight gradually. Students who eat French fries and ice cream. Students who don’t exercise as often as before.

Not all math skills are learned in the classroom. Some of them come naturally. Consider the rapid calculations you make when you estimate the number of empty seats on the school bus or the number of cookies in a cookie jar. These rough estimates can often be done without counting. That’s because humans are born with the ability to approximate, or closely guess, the number of items in a group. Researchers refer to this quality as a person’s “number sense.“ Scientists have discovered that this inherent sense of numbers may influence learning and achievement in the classroom.(18)Studies with teenagers show that students who excel at estimating quantities also did well on standard math achievement tests. These results suggest a “strong and significant relationship“ between a person’s inherent number sense and his or her ability to learn mathematics in school, says psychologist Justin Halberda of Johns Hopkins University. Researchers already knew that humans have a natural grasp of numbers. The ability to make rough estimate can be found in infants as young as four months old, and even in some animals.(19)This inherent number sense reaches back millions of years, researchers say, and has been used by humans and animals to help guide everyday behaviors such as hunting for food. 18. What does the passage say about students good at estimating quantities ? 19. Why do people need the ability to make rough estimates? 20. What is the passage mainly about? They can do well in a math achievement examination. They can estimate the number of empty seats on the bus. They developed this ability when they were only infants. They can correctly guess the number of cookies in a cookie jar.

Have you ever been afraid to talk back when you are unfairly treated? Have you ever bought something just because the salesman talked you into it? Are you afraid to ask someone for a date?(17)Many people are afraid to assert themselves. Or. Robert Albert, author of Stand Up, Speak Out, and Talk Back, thinks it’s because their self-respect is now. “There is always a ’superior’ around—a parent, a teacher, a boss—who knows better.“ But Albeit and other scientists are doing something to help people assert themselves. They offer “Assertiveness Training“ course.(18)In the AT course, people learn that they have a right to be themselves. They learn to speak out and feel good about doing so. They learn to be aggressive without hurting other people. In other way, learning to speak out is to overcome fear.(19)A group taking an AT course will help the timid person to lose his fear. But AT uses an even stronger motive—the need to share. The timid person speaks out in the group because he wants to tell how he feels.(20)Whether or not you speak out for yourself depends on your se1f-image. If someone you face is more important than you, you may start to doubt your own good sense. But why should you? AT says that you can get to feel good about yourself. And once you do, you can learn to speak out. 17. What is the problem the speaker mainly talks about? 18. Which of the following is done in an AT course? 19. What is suggested to the timid persons to overcome their problems? 20. Why are some people afraid to speak out for themselves? Some people buy things they do not want. Some people are afraid to behave in a confident manner. There are many superiors around us. Some people think too highly of themselves.

Steven P. Jobs, the visionary(有远见的)co-founder of Apple who helped usher in the era of personal computers and then led a cultural transformation in the way music, movies and mobile communications were experienced in the digital age, died Wednesday. He was 56. The death was announced by Apple, the company Mr. Jobs and his high school friend Stephen Wozniak started in 1976 in a suburban California garage. A friend of the family said the cause was complications of pancreatic(胰腺的)cancer. Mr. Jobs had waged a long and public struggle with the disease, remaining the face of the company even as he underwent treatment, introducing new products for a global market in his trademark blue jeans even as he grew thin and frail. He underwent surgery in 2004, received a liver transplant in 2009 and took three medical leaves of absence as Apple’s chief executive before stepping down in August and turning over the seat to Timothy D. Cook, the chief operating officer. When he left, he was still engaged in the company’s affairs, negotiating with another Silicon Valley executive only several weeks earlier. “I have always said that if there ever came a day when I could no longer meet my duties and expectations as Apple’s CEO I would be the first to let you know,“ Mr. Jobs said in a letter released by the company. “Unfortunalely, that day has come.“ By then, having mastered digital technology and capitalized on his intuitive marketing sense, Mr. Jobs had largely come to define the personal computer industry and an array of digital consumer and entertainment businesses centered on the Internet. He had also become a very rich man. worth an estimated $ 8.3 billion. Tributes(悼念)to Mr. Jobs flowed quickly on Wednesday evening, in formal statements and in the flow of social networks, with President Obama, technology industry leaders and legions of Apple fans weighing in.
