As is known to all, nowadays many students are interested in studying abroad.
Attending schools abroad has many advantages. First, by looking at our own country from outside, we can best see the strong points and weak points of our nation and therefore broaden our minds. Second, while studying in a foreign country, we can travel widely, visiting famous scenic spots and making friends with the local people. Third, we can use the foreign language in our daily life so that our ability in that language may be improved quickly. But the most important is to learn advanced(先进的) science and technology. For all these advantages, it is really worthwhile to go abroad for education.
However, as everything has two sides, there are also some disadvantages in attending a foreign university. The most serious problem is the language barrier(障碍). Most of the students who are ready to go abroad do not prepare themselves well for the new language environment. As a result, on arriving there, they will find it difficult to understand what the instructors are saying in class. Besides, for not knowing about the customs and way of life of the local people, they may run into trouble in dealing with various situations. Therefore, misunderstandings foten arise. Furthermore, the cost of living is much higher than that in our country, so most students have to find part-time jobs in order to help support themselves. Faced with these difficulties, many students find themselves unable to pay full attention to their studies and some students may even fail in their courses and learn little.
Therefore, given an opportunity to attend a school abroad, one must consider the factors carefully before making up his mind. On the one hand, it is a good thing to go and study abroad. But on the other hand, one must not neglect(忽视) the disadvantages.
1.According to the passage, the following are all advantages of studying abroad EXCEPT __________.
A. having more chances to get good jobs
B. improving foreign language ability quickly
C. visiting well-known places of interest
D. learning very modern science and technology
2.The underlined word "instructors" in Paragraph 3 is closest in meaning to "__________".
A. neighbors B. teachers
C. strangers D. classmates
3.According to the passage, why do some students find part-time jobs?
A. Because they want to learn more skills in a different country.
B. Because they want to make full use of their time.
C. Because they are not interested in studying.
D. Because they have to support themselves.
4.The passage mainly tells us that __________.
A. studying abroad is a good way to learn more
B. everything has two sides
C. people should think twice before going abroad
D. going abroad has more advantages than disadvantages
A new study shows students who write notes by hand during lectures perform better on exams than those who use laptops(笔记本电脑)．
Students are increasingly using laptops for notetaking because of speed and legibility(清晰度)．But the research has found laptop users are less able to remember and apply the concepts they have been taught.
Researchers performed experiments that aimed to find out whether using a laptop increased the tendency to make notes “mindlessly” by taking down word for word what the professors said.
In the first experiment，students were given either a laptop or pen and paper. They listened to the same lectures and were told to use their usual notetaking skills. Thirty minutes after the talk，they were examined on their ability to remember facts and on how well they understood concepts.
The researchers found that laptop users took twice as many notes as those who wrote by hand. However，the typists performed worse at remembering and applying the concepts. Both groups scored similarly when it came to memorizing facts.
The researchers' report said，“While more notes are beneficial，if the notes are taken mindlessly，as is more likely the case on a laptop，the benefit disappears.”
In another experiment aimed at testing longterm memory，students took notes as before but were tested a week after the lecture. This time，the students who wrote notes by hand performed significantly better on the exam.
These two experiments suggest that handwritten notes are not only better for immediate learning and understanding，but that they also lead to superior revision in the future.
1.More and more students favour laptops for notetaking because they can ________.
A.write more notes B.digest concepts better
C.get higher scores D.understand lectures better
2.While taking notes，laptop users tend to be ________.
A.skilful B.mindless
C.thoughtful D.tireless
3.The author of the passage aims to ________.
A.examine the importance of longterm memory
B.stress the benefit of taking notes by hand
C.explain the process of taking notes
D.promote the use of laptops
4.The passage is likely to appear in ________.
A.a newspaper advertisement B.a computer textbook
C.a science magazine D.a finance report
If volunteering begins at an early age, it can become part of a child’s life — something he or she may just expect and want to do. It can teach them:
A sense of responsibility (责任感). By volunteering, children and teens learn how to be on time for a job, do their best, and be proud of the results. And they also learn that, in the end, we are responsible for the well-being of our whole community (社区).
The knowledge that one person can make a difference. A wonderful message for a child is that he or she is important enough to have an effort on someone or something else.
The benefit of sacrifice (奉献的好处). By giving up a toy to a less fortunate child, a child learns that it’s good to sacrifice sometimes. Cutting back on playing time to help clean up a street tells kids that there are important things other than ourselves and our needs.
Tolerance (容忍). Working in community service can bring kids and teens in touch with people of different backgrounds, abilities, ages, and education. They will likely find that even the most diverse people can be united by common values.
Job skills. Community service can help young people decide on their future careers. Learning to work as a team member, taking on leadership roles, setting project goals — these are all skills that can be learned by volunteering and will serve a child well in any future career.
How to fill free time wisely. If a child isn’t interested in traditional after-school activities, community service can be a wonderful choice.
