Each year, thousands of Chinese middle school students go to study in foreign countries.
"Chinese children hope to study abroad (到国外) to 1 a wider view (视野) of the world." said a Chinese writer called Chen Yi. Chen told the parents and their children that life in foreign countries can be hard for young people. "They have to meet a 2 shock (冲击) and language problems. "
However, these are not the most difficult things. To most children looking after 3 when studying alone in a foreign country is a big challenge (挑战) .
Zhang Jia began to study in a high school in Australia last October. To his surprise, his teachers there didn't 4students to study. And 5there wasn't homework. "With these education (教育) systems, we have more 6 time and more space for thinking." said Zhang. "But if you don't know how to 7 your time and money, you will not have an easy time."
"Studying abroad at a young age can help students learn foreign language 8 and broaden (拓宽) their minds, but students and parents should know about the challenges, " Chen said.
9 you want to study abroad, try to talk to someone with 10 in foreign countries. Make sure that you are ready for it.
A young boy was hungry for success. For him, winning was everything.
One day, the boy was preparing for a running competition in his small village. He would compete(比赛)with two other young boys. A large crowd went there to watch, and one of the people was a wise old man.
The race began. The boy tried hard and easily took the lead. The crowd cheered. The little boy felt very glad. "Another race, another race!" he shouted. The wise old man walked forward and showed the little boy two new challengers(挑战者): an old lady and a blind(失明的)man.
The second race started and the boy was the only one to cross the finishing line.
The boy raised his arms happily and felt he was important. The crowd, however, was silent(沉默的).
"Another race again," said the wise man. "This time all three of you finish together. "The boy thought for a while. He stood between the blind man and the old lady, and then he held their hands. The race began and the little boy walked slowly to the finishing line and crossed it. The crowd cheered. The wise man smiled, too.
"Which one of us three are the crowd cheering for?" asked the boy.
"For this race, you have won much more than in any other race you've run," said the wise man. "For this race, the crowd cheered not for any winner!"
Many Americans love sports. This does not really mean that they get any exercise. What they do is to watch national teams on TV. They watch baseball, football, basketball, hockey, golf and tennis which means that for most of the weekends they sit in front of the TV. Sometimes, their friends watch with them.
Baseball is the great American sport and every team has fans. Almost every big city has a team, and as each team plays 162 games a year, following baseball can take up a lot of time. The playing season begins in spring and finishes in the fall World Series(世界职业棒球赛), when two leading teams play against each other. The first to win four games wins the Series. Although called World Series, it has only one other country to take part in — Canada.
Football, played in autumn and winter, is also popular. It is not at all like the game called soccer. There isn't much kicking in American football, which has more to do with running with the ball and knocking people down. Each team only plays 16 games during the season, and these take place on Sundays and Monday evenings. Half the country watches the final game on a Sunday, in January.
When there are no good games on TV, Americans watch college(大学) sports. Many colleges feel that if they want their former(以前) students to give money to their old schools, they need a winning football team. To our surprise, this seems to be true.
