Each year, thousands of Chinese middle school students go to study in foreign countries such as the US, the UK, Australia and Japan．
“Chinese children hope very much to go abroad to get a 1 view of the world,” said Chen Yi, a Chinese writer who 2 in the US for 16 years．In a talk Chen told more than 300 parents and their children that 3 in foreign countries can be hard for young people．“They have to 4 a culture shock and language problems．”
5 , these are not always the most difficult things．To most 6 , looking after themselves when 7 alone in a foreign country is a big 8 ．
Zhang Jia, a 16-year-old student 9 the high school in Melbourne, Australia, last October．To his surprise, his teachers there hardly 10 students to study．And usually there 11 homework．
“ 12 these education systems, we have more 13 time and more space for thinking,” said Zhang．“But if you don’t know how to 14 your time and money, you will not have 15 ．” Some of his friends spent their whole year’s 16 in the first two months of the term, and they had to ask their parents far away for help．
“Studying abroad at a young age can help students learn foreign languages 17 and broaden the minds, 18 students and parents should know about the challenges,” Chen said．“If you want to study abroad, try to talk to someone with 19 in foreign countries． 20 sure that you are ready for it”．
In my third year as a high school athletics coach, I gave a speech telling students and parents about the benefits of football．I gave the same 1 each year, aimin g at recruiting(招收)new team members．I talked about 2 football wasn't just for 3 athletes and how everyone could 4 from it．This year, a 5 looking couple approached me after my speech．They said their son really wanted to play football．They had tried to 6 him out of it, but he had his heart 7 on joining the team．
When they told me his name, my heart sank．Michael was five feet and ten inches tall and weighed about 108 pounds．He was a 8 boy, the constant target of other kids' jokes, and as far as I knew he had never 9 sports．I knew he would never 10 it through football practice, let 11 as a player．But we told them we could give it a try．
On the opening day of practice, Michael was the first player on the field, we did 30 minutes of warming-up 12 starting a one-mile jog around the track．I 13 my eye on Michael．At 50 yards he fell, and I helped him to his feet．“Michael,”I said,“Why don't you just 14 the mile?”He said in tears that he wanted to run with the others, so I let him go on． 15 he fell, but each time 16 himself up．
The same thing happened every day for weeks, and Michael gained strength both 17 and physically．By the last week of practice, Michael could run the mile without falling, we had 18 only one game that season, 19 the team cheered louder for Michael's run than the victory they had, Afterward, Michael approached me, and I told him how 20 I was of him．

完形填空：
When you are learning English, you find 1 wrong to translate a sentence word for word into your 2 language．Take the sentence “How do you do?” as an 3 ．If you look 4 each word in the 5 , one at a time, what is your 6 ? It must be a 7 sentence in your native language．Languages do not only have different sounds, they are also 8 in many other ways．It is very 9 to master the rules of word 10 in the study of English, too．If the 11 puts words in a very unusual order, the listener doesn’t 12 the speaker’s sentence easily．
Another thing we must always 13 is that there are a lot of 14 in the English language．For example when we say “look out!” to a man who is in danger, we 15 mean “Be careful!”
When people are parting, they often say “Good－bye 16 ” “Bye－bye!” But sometimes they 17 say “Good morning!” or “Good afternoon!” or “Good evening!” 18 “Good night!” to one another 19 “Good－bye!” You will find few people 20 who know that “Good－bye!” is a short way of saying “God be with you!”
