20、des, the world has i【K1】_become a global community, and study abroad has f【K2】_Since World War II there has been a dramatic increase in foreign students c【K3】_to the United States to study and of Americans studying o【K4】_the United States. In 2008, almost 96, 000 American students participated i【K5】

21、_formal study abroad programs. In 2009, more than 1. 5 million foreign students came to the United States to study.For American students, study abroad is generally seen to fulfill three educational g【K6】_: the general education of the student, specialized learning such as language learning, and the

22、promotion of international understanding. But in addition those studying abroad learn to extend their autonomy and increase their a【K7】_of their culture and the values that this culture embodies. One study of Edward Morgan demonstrates that the type of learning that takes p 【K8】_at the home universi

23、ty is primarily cognitive in nature and is secondarily affective. Students studying abroad, however, are frequently much more involved in their s【K9】_for identity. He found “ students indicated that they changed daily in the areas of values, attitudes, goals and personal philosophy. “ Most students

I believe in embracing h【K11】_and finding something

25、 positive even in the most d【K12】_circumstances. My own optimism stems from a strong, personal f【K13 】_in a loving God who I believe is very interested in the personal details of our lives, not just the “ big stuff. “ I also believe that things happen for a reason and that if we k【K14】_our minds and

26、 spirits open, our invisible God often becomes v【K15】_, sometimes in ways that are quite humorous!W【K16】 _that being said, even optimists can temporarily lose hope. This was the ease for me on a particularly cold and gloomy January day. I felt overwhelmed by the painful challenges I was d【K17】_with

27、in my personal life. Marital, health, and financial struggles had joined forces to create a tornado of emotion that threatened to crush my spirit. I felt angry, f 【K18】_, burdened, and distanced from the presence of God. The weather seemed to reflect my moodthe gray sky blocked even a single ray of

29、ess to foreign markets. But they are under the guidance of a state that many countries consider a strategic competitor, not an ally. As our briefing explains, it often appoints executives, directs deals and finances them through state banks. Once bought, natural-resource firms can become captive sup

30、pliers of the Middle Kingdom. Some believe China Inc can be more sinister than that; for example, America thinks that Chinese telecoms-equipment firms pose a threat to its national security.That would be a mistake. China is miles away from posing this kind of threat: most of its firms are only just

31、finding their feet abroad. Even in natural resources, where it has been most active in dealmaking, it is not close to controlling enough supply to rig the market for most commodities.Nor is Chinas system as monolithic as foreigners often assume. State companies compete at home and their decision-mak

32、ing is consensual rather than dictatorial. When abroad they may have mixed motives, and some sectorsdefence and strategic infrastructure, for instanceare too sensitive to allow them in. But such areas are relatively few.What if Chinese state-owned companies run their acquisitions for politics, not p

33、rofit? So long as other firms could satisfy consumers needs, it would not matter. Chinese companies could safely be allowed to own energy firms, for instance, in a competitive market where customers could turn to other suppliers. And if Chinese firms throw subsidised capital around the world, thats

34、fine. America and Europe could use the money. The danger that cheap Chinese capital might undermine rivals can be better dealt with by beefing up competition law than by keeping investment out.Not all Chinese companies are state-directed. Some are largely independent and mainly interested in profits

35、. Often these firms are making the running abroad. Take Volvos new owner, Geely. Volvo should now be able to sell more cars in China; without the deal its future was bleak.Chinese firms can bring new energy and capital to flagging companies around the world; but influence will not just flow one way.

36、 To succeed abroad, Chinese companies will have to adapt. That means hiring local managers, investing in local research and placating local concernsfor example by listing subsidiaries locally. Indian and Brazilian firms have an advantage abroad thanks to their private-sector DNA and more open cultur

37、es. That has not been lost on Chinese managers.51 In face of Chinas economic expansion abroad, the author of this article is_.（A）optimistic（B） pessimistic（C） neutral（D）noncommittal52 According to the article, the reason why China cannot control the market for most commodities in energy sector is_.（A

38、）China does not have enough money（B） Chinese companies are reluctant to cooperate with foreign firms（C） China is in initial stage of investing abroad（D）Chinese companies are state-owned53 What is Volvos immediate benefit after Geely becomes its new owner?（A）Sales go up.（B） Future becomes unpredictab

39、le.（C） Workers have a salary hike.（D）Unemployment goes down.54 “So long as other firms could satisfy consumers needs, it would not matter. “ This implies that_.（A）Chinese cannot control the market（B） the market is not competitive（C） consumers do not like Chinese companies（D）Indian companies are more

40、 powerful55 It is suggested that Chinese firms should do the following if they want to succeed abroad.（A）Stick to public ownership.（B） Make changes to suit local conditions.（C） Invest more money.（D）Have more decision-making power.55 Why we age is the subject of vigorous debate. The classical view is

41、 that aging happens because of random wear and tear. A newer view holds that aging is more orderly and genetically driven. Proponents of this view point out that animals of similar species and exposure to wear and tear have markedly different life span. The Canada goose has a longevity of 23. 5 year

42、s; the emperor goose only 6. 3 years. Perhaps animals are like plants, with lives that are to a large extent, internally governed. Certain species of bamboo, for instance, form a dense stand that grows and flourishes for a hundred years, flowers all at once, and then dies.The idea that living things

43、 shut down and not just wear down has received substantial support in the past decade. Researchers working with the now famous worm C. elegans(two of the last five Nobel Prizes in medicine went to scientists doing work on the little nematode)were able to produce worms that live more than twice as lo

44、ng and age more slowly by altering a single gene. Scientists have since come up with single-gene alterations that increase the life spans of Drosophila fruit flies, mice and yeast.These findings notwithstanding, scientists do not believe that our life spans are actually programmed into us. After all

45、, for most of our hundred-thousand-year existenceall but the past couple of hundred yearsthe average life span of human beings has been thirty years or less.(Research suggests that subjects of the Roman Empire had an average life expectancy of twenty-eighty years.)Today the average life span in deve

46、loped countries is almost eighty years. If human life spans depend on our genetics, then medicine has got the upper hand. We are, in a way, freaks living well beyond our appointed time. So when we study aging, what we are trying to understand is not so much in a natural process as an unnatural one.

47、Inheritance has surprisingly little influence on longevity. James Vaupel, of the Max Planck Institute for Demographic Research, in Rostock, Germany, noted that only six percent of how long youll live, compared with the average, is explained by your parents longevity; by contrast, up to ninety percen

48、t of how tall you are, compared with the average, is explained by your parents height. Even genetically identical twins vary widely in life span: the typical gap is more than fifteen years.56 The main idea of this piece is_.（A）how long one lives depends on ones parents（B） how long one lives is relat

49、ed to ones genes（C） how long one lives depends on many factors（D）how long one lives can be statistically determined57 The example of gooses life span shows that_.（A）Canada goose lives longer than emperor goose（B） emperor goose has a very short life span（C） Canada goose and emperor goose belong to the same species（D）different kinds of the same species may have different life span58 What, as the author mentions in this article, is genetic
