  Luo Gaoqi hopes to join the increasing number of Chinese students in the United States because he wants the experience of studying in a foreign land as it will help his future job at home.“I want to try Western education because people there think differently,” said the 21-year-old who is in his final year of undergraduate studies.“I also hope to meet friends from different cultures.The social connections may help in the future.”

  The latest report from the US-based institute of International Education said China, for the first time, has become the top country of origin for international students in the United States.

  For Yang Fan, a journalism(新闻专业)student, said studying in the United States is a way to escape the competition for places in China's top universities.

  “Due to limited education resources, only about 60 percent of high school graduates in China enter college, and a much lower rate enters the top-level ones.“A foreign degree will definitely help when I seek a job in China,” Yang said.

  Both Yang's and Luo's parents are supportive of them studying abroad.Neither of them is thinking of settling down in the United States after graduation.

  “It is not realistic to do so.As a journalism student, there would be no advantage for me to work in the United States,” Yang said.“But in China, with a US degree and good English, I may stand out against other students who have only studied in China.”

  China still needs to improve its environment for scientists and high-level talents, said Xiao Mingzheng, director of the Center for Human Resource Development and Management Research of Peking University, adding that, in particular, the country needs to improve its policies relating to research environments.

  In June, the Chinese government published a plan concerning talent development for the next 10 years.In it, it has improved policies and increased budgets to attract talented students back home.

阅读下列短文,从文中所给的四个选项(A,B,C和D)中,选出最佳选项。

  Fans burst into cheers as China's 44 - year effort to reach the World Cup finals was finally fulfilled in Shenyang on October 7,2001 with a 1 - 0 win over Oman in the Asian qualifier (合格者).

  Happy fans throughout the world's most populous country rushed into the night to celebrate the historic victory for which they have waited for decades. Expectations of a Chinese victory against the Oman team were so high that celebrations had been prepared beforehand and started at the stadium immediately following the match. “Today is the most important day in my life,” said Zhang Jingquan, a 23 - year - old man who has recently graduated from a university in Beijing.

  The response contrasted to May 19, 1985, when after hearing that China had failed to get into the World Cup finals, fans went on a rampage (到处进行暴力) and started burning cars and causing fires on the streets of Beijing. While in European countries people have always been aware of football's power to make supporters react in such a strong and passionate way, this was the first time for the Chinese public to see such a response. The May 19 incident had the effect of drawing more fans to the games rather than turning them away.

  In recent years more and more people have been drawn to football. Football fan clubs and associations have been set up across the country. In fact, football is becoming such a focus of interest that even football fans are becoming famous. Luo Xi, known as “China's No. 1 football fan,” is one of the more prominent (突出的) examples of this trend. for him, football has filled his mind so continually that he has managed to lose his job and his wife after deciding to give his undivided attention to watching football.

  The reason that football has become so popular is that anyone can he a supporter. You do not have to take exams to be supporter, you even don't have to be able to play football!

  The competitive nature of the game gives fans a sense that they are part of a special social group. With its fierce competition and mass participation, football is unique (独特的). It is the world's number one sport. The huge size of the field also gives a chance for the players to be creative and for the spectators (观众) to look on fearfully. People can experss themselves through football. It's quite easy to learn and play the sport: you need only a ball.

  SHANGHAI--Partly because of a string of malfunctions and the July 23 train crash in Wenzhou, the Beijing-Shanghai high-speed railway was not as popular in its first month of operation as many had expected.

  In a news release on Monday, the Ministry of Railways said the railway had transported 5.26 million passengers from July 1 to July 31, or 170,000 passengers a day on average.

  And an average of 179 trains including both those that run at 200 km/h and at 300 km/h trains - were on the line every day, and the trains had an occupancy rate(上座率)of 107%, the ministry said.To many who traveled, that last figure no doubt seems puzzling.How, after all, could carriages that were often half empty have been 107% occupied? Zhao Jian, professor at Beijing Jiaotong University, said the figure is not a good reflection of reality.He accounted for it by noting that a seat aboard one of the trains would be said to have a 200% occupancy rate if one passenger had sat in it from Beijing to Tianjin and then another passenger had occupied the same seat from Suzhou to Shanghai.

  Despite the impressiveness of those figures, travelers will find, perhaps to their surprise, that they will have little trouble buying tickets to ride the 1,318-km-long high-speed rail line.By 7:30 pm on Monday, passengers could still buy 754 second-class tickets and 148 first-class tickets for a high-speed train that is to leave from Shanghai for Beijing on Tuesday afternoon, according to the China Railway Customer Service Center's website.The train contains 1,066 seats.

  The story was different for those who want to travel by air between Shanghai and Beijing.Luo Zhuping, board secretary of China Eastern Airlines, said seats on the company's flights on that route are selling well:90 percent of them continue to be occupied.

  The situation was different in the first week after the Beijing-Shanghai high-speed train began operating on the last day of Junc.The airline then saw the number of travelers using its service fall by 20 percent and began offering generous discounts to draw in more passengers.Few such incentives are being given now, he said.Still, passengers have not totally abandoned high-speed rails in the days following the Wenzhou train crash, which has killed 40 passengers and injured 191.
