4.Last year,over 206,000students from the United States studied abroad.Does that number surprise you?These students already know the benefits of studying abroad.You may be wondering why you should study abroad.Here are some answers for you.
◆Timing
The absolutely best time in your life to study abroad is when you are in college.If you miss this opportunity,it's almost impossible for you to do it later in life.
◆To gain cross-cultural experience
Life overseas makes you see your everyday world in a whole new light.You don't even realize it,but our culture shapes the way we view the world and affects us every minute of the day.Differences in culture are more than just differences in language,food,clothing and art.
◆To improve your communication skills and your self-confidence
People who study abroad tend to be willing to take risks,willing to put themselves in unusual situations,and able to solve problems.
◆To become more fluent in a language or to learn a new language
The world market is becoming smaller,and many companies require a second language.Foreign languages are not only valuable in the job market but also valuable in the real world.
◆For the adventure
Travel to other cities within your host country and around neighboring countries.As you get to know your new classmates,roommates,and host family,you will gain a unique view on the host culture.Discover the differences and,more importantly,the many similarities between your worlds.The friendships you make will last long after the program.
◆To learn more about yourself
Find out who you really are.What are your limits?How do you overcome the difficulties you've never  encountered  before?How independent are you?These questions are hard to answer until you are removed from your usual surroundings.After solving difficult problems on your own overseas,you'll find that almost nothing will confuse you at home.Students who study abroad commonly report that their study abroad experience actually changed their lives.

13.Grandparents Answer a Call
As a third-generation native of Brownsville,Texas,Mildred Garza never planned to move away.Even when her daughter and son asked her to move to San Antonio to help with their children,she politely refused.Only after a year of friendly discussion did Ms.Garza finally say yes.That was four years ago.Today all three generations regard the move as a success,giving them a closer relationship than they would have had in separate cities.
No statistics(数据) show the number of grandparents like Garza who are moving closer to adult children and grandchildren.Yet there is evidence(证据) suggesting that the trend(趋势) is growing.Even President Obama's mother-in-law,Marian Robinson,has agreed to leave Chicago and move into the White House to help care for her granddaughters.According to a study by grandparents.com,83percent of the people said Mrs.Robinson's decision will influence grandparents in the American family.Two-thirds believe more families will follow the example of Obama's family.
"In the 1960s we were all a little wild and couldn't get away from home far enough or fast enough to prove we could do it on our own,"says Christine Crosby,publisher of Grand,a magazine for grandparents."We now realize how important family is and how important it is to be near them,especially when you're raising children."
Moving is not for everyone.Almost every grandparent wants to be with his or her grandchildren and is willing to make sacrifices(牺牲),but sometimes it is wiser to say no and visit frequently instead.Having your grandchildren far away is hard,especially knowing your adult child is struggling,but giving up the life you know may be harder.

25.Why was Garza's move a success?A
A.It strengthened(加强) her family ties.
B.It improved her living conditions.
C.It enabled(使…能够) her to make more friends.
D.It helped her know more new places.
26.What was the reaction of the public to Mrs.Robinson's decision?D
A.17% expressed their support for it.
B.Few people responded sympathetically(同情地).
C.83% believed it had a bad influence.
D.The majority thought it was a trend.
27.What did Crosby say about people in the 1960s?C
A.They were unsure of themselves.
B.They were eager to raise more children.
C.They wanted to live away from their parents.
D.They had little respect for their grandparents.
28.What does the author suggest the grandparents do in the last paragraph?A
A.Make decisions in the best interests of their own.
B.Ask their children to pay more visits to them.
C.Sacrifice for their struggling children.
D.Get to know themselves better.
