"USA? Britain? Which country is better to study in?" We often hear such discussions. As China opens its doors, studying abroad has become a dream for many Chinese students. They want to learn about the world.
It"s true that studying abroad can help students develop themselves. Language skills will improve and it may be easier to find jobs.
But there are problems that should be considered(考虑). Language is the first. Students must spend a lot of time learning another language and getting used to a different culture.
Students must also learn to live without parents" care and deal with all kinds of things they haven"t had to do before, like looking after themselves. There are reports about Chinese students abroad sinking into an ocean of difficulties and giving up easily. When they have to take care of themselves, it is hard for students to study well.
Finally, studying abroad brings a heavy burden(负担) to the family. For most Chinese parents, the cost of studying abroad is very high. But is it worth it?
We know that there are many famous people who succeed in great things through their hard work in China. Liu Xiang is a good example. Once an American teacher invited him there but he refused. He kept training hard with his Chinese teacher. He surprised the world when he won a gold medal(金牌) at the Athens Olympics. So when you wonder which country is better to study in, consider whether studying abroad is the right choice(选择).
小题1:From the passage, we learn that many Chinese students dream about studying abroad to __________.| A．taste a new life | B．make a lot of money | | C．learn about the world | D．learn to look after themselves |

London—coffee protects mice from radiation and could get the same way in humans, according to Indian scientists.
Scientist at India’s Bhabha Atomic Research Center discovered that mice injected with caffeine (咖啡因)remained alive after high doses(剂量)of normally lethal radiation.
Although the study was limited to animals, Kachadillilli George, head of the research team, believes the findings could have implications (something suggested ) for humans .
“It does suggest that coffee might have some beneficial effects in protecting against radiation,” he told New Scientist magazine late last month.
George and his team injected 471 mice with caffeine and left them uncovered to 7.5 grays of gamma radiation(伽玛射线),enough to kill most mice. But 25 days later 70 percent of the mice that had received 80 milligrams(毫克)of caffeine per kilogram of body weight were still alive.
On the contrary all 196 mice that had been left uncovered to the same radiation but had not been given any caffeine died.
小题1:George and his team drew the conclusion from .| A．the magazine | B．their invention | C．the experiment | D．their experience |
小题2:From the news, we know can be protected from radiation.| A．both mice and humans | B．only mice | | C．only humans | D．neither humans nor mice |
小题3:From paragraph 5, we know 30 percent of the mice died 25 days later. The reason was probably that .| A．these mice had been given only 80 milligrams of caffeine | | B．these mice hadn’t been injected with caffeine | | C．these mice were very big and strong | | D．these mice hadn’t been given enough caffeine |
小题4:Which is the best title of the article?| A．Human and Mice | B．New Radiation Defense—Coffee | | C．Deadly Radiation—Gamma Radiation | D．Mice Died of Caffeine |
小题5:In paragraph 2,the underlined word “ lethal ”means .| A．causing death | B．lively | C．exciting | D．rich |

“How can I learn English well?” This is a question many students ask. In my opinion, the most effective way is to learn lessons by heart. If you can recite the text and write it out, you’ve learned it fairly well. And if you can tell, in your own words, what the lesson says you’re a very successful learner indeed. Your English will be quite perfect.This is a difficult task. However, if you try to learn by heart only part of each lesson, you’ll find it not half so hard as you might have thought. Learning this way, you will make rapid progress. Of course, writing is also necessary. It helps you a lot on our way to success in English. Equally important is to feel the language. You should be able to laugh at jokes and be shocked at bad news. When using English, try to forget your mother tongue. Instead of helping you, your own language gets in your way. So, never try to see English through translation.
小题1:In the writer’s opinion, the most effective way in learning English is ____.| A．to practise speaking, writing and feeling it | | B．to forget your own native language | | C．to translate everything into his own language | | D．to memorize the English words and grammatical rules |
小题2:“Instead of helping you, your own language gets in your way.”This sentence means that memorizing your own language can ________.| A．help you to study English well | B．stop you mastering English | | C．make English easy to learn | D．help you notice mistakes |
小题3:Equally important is to feel the language. “to feel the language” here means________. | A．to get a knowledge of English by touching | | B．to be able to read and write English | | C．to translate English into your own by imagining | | D．to be able to experience the rich sensation of the language |

American researchers found females are the more talkative sex because of a special “language protein(蛋白质)” in the brain.
The study, conducted by neuroscientists （神经学家）and psychologist from the University of Maryland, concluded that women talked more because they had more of the Foxp2 protein. The research, published in the Journal of Neuroscience, found that higher levels were found among humans that were women but in rats that were males. Their findings came after it was previously claimed that ladies speak about 20,000 words a day – over 13,000 more than men. "This study is one of the first to report a sex difference in the expression of a language-associated protein in humans or animals,” said Prof Margaret McCarthy, who led the study. In their study, the researchers attempted to determine what might make male rats more vocal than their female friends.
They separated four-day-old rats from their mothers and then counted the number of times they cried out in the “ultrasonic range”, the frequencies higher than humans can hear, over five minutes. While both sexes called out hundreds of cries, the males called out twice as often, they found. But when the pups were returned to their mother’s cage, she fussed over her sons first. Tests conducted on the parts of the brain known to be associated with vocalcalls showed the male pups have up to twice as much Foxp2 protein as the females. The researchers then increased the production in the brains of female pups and reduced it in males. This led to the female rats crying out more often and their mothers showing more interest to them. In contrast, males became less “talkative”.
The researchers then tested samples from ten children, aged between three and five, which showed that females had up to 30 per cent more of the Foxp2 protein than males, in a brain area key to language in humans.
“Based on our observations, we assume higher levels of Foxp2 in girls and higher levels of Foxp2 in male rats is an indication that Foxp2 protein levels are associated with the more communicative sex,” said Prof McCarthy.
"Our results imply Foxp2 as a component of the neurobiological basis of sex differences in vocal communication in mammals."
小题1:From the second paragraph, we can learn that ________.| A．women always speak more words than men | | B．men and male rats have low levels of language protein | | C．women and male rats have similar levels of Foxp2 | | D．McCarthy isn’t the first to find females more talkative |
小题2:The underlined phrase “fussed over” in the third paragraph probably means______.| A．paid attention to | B．related to | C．put pressure on | D．counted on |
小题3:The researchers carried out the experiments on rats in order to _______.| A．test which part of the brain is key to language in rats and humans | | B．prove the levels of Foxp2 protein in humans and rats are different | | C．determine the reason why female rats are more talkative than male rats | | D．discover the association between Foxp2protein and vocal communication |
小题4:Which of the following can be the best title for the passage ?| A．Tests on humans and rats | B．Why women are the talkative sex | | C．Sex differences in Foxp2 protein | D．Foxp2 protein determines oral ability |

To master a language one must be able to speak and understand the spoken language as well as to read and write．Lenin and his wife translated a long English book into Russian but when they went to England in 1902, English people couldn"t understand a word Lenin and his wife said, and Lenin and his wife couldn"t understand what was said to them．This shows the importance of spoken language．
Speaking, of course can"t go without listening．If you want to pronounce a word correctly, first you must hear it correctly．The sounds of Chinese and English languages are not exactly the same．If you don"t listen carefully, you"ll find it difficult or even impossible to understand the native speakers．
Well, what about writing﹖ Like speaking, it"s to exchange ideas．People usually use shorter words and shorter sentences in their writing．
The important thing is to make your idea clear in your mind and then to write it in a clear lively language．
Chinese students read too slowly．If you read fast, you understand better．If you read too slowly by the time you have reached to the end of a page you have forgotten what the beginning is about．When you meet with new words don"t look them up in the dictionary．Guess the meaning to form the context. You may not guess quite correctly the first time but as new words appear again and again in different context their meaning will become clearer and clearer. If you look up every word you"ll never finish a book．
Students of a foreign language need a particular knowledge, the knowledge of the life, history and geography of the people whose language they"re studying. They should study those subjects in the foreign language not only in translation．In this way one can kill two birds with one stone: learn a foreign language and get some knowledge of the foreign country at the same time．
小题1:In England Lenin ．| A．could be understood by Englishmen | | B．could understand Englishmen | | C．and Englishmen couldn"t understand each other | | D．and Englishmen could understand each other |
小题2:In the first paragraph the writer told us ．| A．how to speak English | | B．how to read and write | | C．why English people couldn"t understand the Lenins | | D．spoken English is important |
小题3:In the fifth paragraph the writer advised us on ．| A．how to guess the meaning of the words | | B．how to read fast | | C．how to look up new words in the dictionary | | D．how to read carefully |
小题4:“Kill two birds with one stone” means ．| A．to get some particular knowledge | | B．to get more than what one pays | | C．the stone is very useful | | D．the birds are blind enough |
小题5:In the last paragraph the writer advised us ．| A．to kill two birds with one stone | | B．to learn two languages at the same time | | C．to study all the subjects in a foreign language | | D．to get some knowledge of the foreign country whose language we are studying |
