　　Americans are always in a hurry, they seem to be under permanent pressure to think that there is something more to do the next moment. This fast pace is reflected in the popularity of fast-food restaurants, one-stop stations and micro-ovens. They hate to waste their time and would frown if their time is wasted by interruptions or by poor service. They appreciate the practice of doing things as quickly as possible, as in their eyes,“patience is the virtue of asses.”

　　◇SPP－are dedicated to people and human relationship.

　　　FPP－are devoted to work rather than to human relationship.

　　　SPP－change plans easily.

　　　FPP－follow and stick to the plans.

　　At the same time, in America, Mike, a friendly German boy, was also forming his idea．“I suppose I should criticize(批评)American schools．” he says．“It is far too easy by our level．But I have to say that I like it very much．In Germany we do nothing but study．Here we take part in many outside activities．I think that maybe your schools are better in training for citizens．There ought to be some middle ground between the two．”

Things You Need to Know about Studying There Study Style

　　Since the 1950s, the Netherlands has had courses in English especially for foreign students. Students are expected to be critical of what they read and hear, and to be able of working independently. Foreign students will soon notice that at Dutch institutions for higher learning, people are expected to do a lot of talking. The most common form of teaching is the seminar (研讨会) or working group, where a small group of students work under a teacher's supervision (监督，管理) to analyze (分析) a certain problem. On exams, they have to show that they know the material, and that they have formed well-founded opinions on the subject.

Accommodations (住宿)

　　If you are in an exchange programme or an international course, it is quite possible that a room will be arranged for you. Accept it immediately, or you will regret it later. That's because finding a place to live in a country as crowded as the Netherlands is not easy.

　　Before you leave China, ask your host institution whether or not housing will indeed be arranged in advance. If you are in the Netherlands and still looking for a place, ask the international relations office or the student dean for advice.

Expenses

　　Tuition (学费)

　　Bachelor's degree: about 2 500 euros a year

　　Master's degree: 5 000～12 000 euros a year

　　Experience has shown that a year in the Netherlands costs a Chinese student about 450～750 euros a month.

　　Here is a breakdown of average prices of supermarket goods:

　　Litre of milk:　　　　0.5～0.8 euro

　　Kilo of apples:　　 1.5 euros

　　Shampoo, 400m1:　　4 euros

　　Tube of toothpaste: 1 euro

　　Bed sheet:　　　　 20 euros

　　Haircut: 15 euros

　　Air ticket to China: 600～800 euros

　　Mobile phone call (one minute): 0.1～0.3 euro

Phone call to China (with IP card): 7 euros (one minute)

　　Postage stamp in the Netherlands: 0.39 euro

　　Stamp for China: 0.78 euro

　　(1 euro=about 10 yuan)

Transportation

　　Trains, buses and trams (有轨电车) run throughout the country.

　　If you really want to sample Dutch life, and get around quickly and easily, buy yourself a bicycle. Most students buy second-hand bicycles. A reasonable one will cost you 70～120 euros. You can find them at second-hand bicycle shops or at the bicycle parking facilities near railway stations.

阅读下面的短文，从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中选出最佳选项

　　Every country tends to accept its own way of life as being the normal one and to praise or criticize others, as they are similar to or different from it. And unfortunately, our picture of the people and the way of nfe of other countries is often a distorted(扭曲) one.

　　Here is a great argument in favor of foreign travel and learning foreign languages. It is only by traveling in a country and getting to know its inhabitants and their language that one can find out what a country and its people are really like. And how different the knowledge one gains this way frequently turns out to be from the second-hand information gathered from other sources! How often we find that the foreigners whom we thought to be such different people from ourselves are not very different at all!

　　Differences between peoples do, of course, exist and, one hopes, will always continue to do so. The world will be a dull place indeed when all the different nationalities behave exactly alike, and some people might say that we are rapidly approaching this state of affairs. With the much greater rapidity and ease of travel, there might seem to be some truth in this at least as far as Europe is concerned. However this may be, at least the greater ease of travel today has revealed(显示) to more people than ever before that the Englishman or Frenchman or German is not some different kind of animal from themselves.

1．Every country criticizes ways of life in other countries because they are ________.

[　　]

A．distorted

B．normal

C．similar to each other

D．different from its own

2．One who travels in a foreign country and learns its language will ________.

[　　]

A．find out what its people are like

B．argue in favor of this country and the language

C．know the country and its people better

D．like its inhabitants and their language
