【题目】Joe was an old man. The 75-year-old lived very happily in a village and had a beautiful family. His children grew up and moved to different cities. Now, Joe has four grandchildren, and they visit him during their holidays.

During one vacation, Joe was preparing his home for the kids: cleaning and buying their favorite foods. After he finished working, he realized he lost his favorite watch. The watch was a gift from his wife when their first child was born. Joe treasured the watch very much, especially after his wife’s death. He was very upset about losing it.

Once his grandchildren came, they promised him they would find the watch.

One granddaughter asked: “Grandpa, do you remember when you saw the watch last before it went missing?”

“I guess when I was cleaning the barn!” Joe replied.

The children looked for more than two hours with Joe, but they could not find it. The kids were now also sad, but they tried to comfort their grandfather.

One grandson went back to the barn to look again. Joe asked why he was going there a second time. But the little boy just asked the others not to follow him and to keep silent.

He was there for about 15 minutes and then rushed to his grandfather. He found the watch and happily gave it to Joe.

Joe was surprised and asked how he was able to find it. The little boy replied: ”I sat there without making a noise, and the barn was so silent. After a few minutes, I heard the ‘tick, tick’ sound and found the watch.”

【题目】If you’re one of those people who like to use apps(应用程序) to kill time, you’re not alone. In fact,using apps has now become part of everyday life. Here are four apps for you to spend your free time. Have fun with these cool apps below!

Baicizhan

First of all, the app tells you how many English words you need to learn every day. That’s not all. It can also be very fun. The learning process is like playing a guessing game. Instead of just showing the Chinese and English meanings of a new word, the app asks you to first choose the correct picture from four, according to an English description. And then, you can practice remembering the new word in other ways.

Douban FM

A digital (数字的) radio app like Douban FM might be the right music app for you. Without a play list, you will never know what the next song is. Songs just keep playing one by one. You can use the “heart”, “trash” and “skip” buttons (按钮) to mark the songs you like, don’t like, and want to cut short. Those marked with a heart will be kept in another list as your favorites for you to enjoy again at any time you want.

Moment Camera

App stores have too many camera apps with filters(滤镜). They are all designed to make your smart phone camera better. But which one gives you the best influence Moment Camera. Many people like this app because of its sequence shots (连拍) and different-sized frames (边框) for photos. But the best thing about the app is not what it does, but what it leaves out. It is simple, clean, and easy to use.

Flipboard

It is one of the hottest news apps right now. But the difference with Flipboard is that you can make everything personal to you. Open up the app, choose whatever interests you, and click the “+” button. In the end you’ll have your own magazine with news, articles, and information. So unlike the boring magazines you read in the past, you can be sure that every page of this one will interest you.

7 January, 2014

A new report says more and more international students are attending colleges and universities in the United States. It also notes a large increase in the number of international students from China.

These findings are from the latest Open Doors Report. The report documents the record number of international students in the United States during 2012, 2013 school year. It says more than seven hundred sixty-four thousand four-hundred such students were attending American colleges and universities during the last two years. That represents an increase of almost six percent than one year earlier.

On the other hand, the number of Americans studying overseas (海外) increased by one percent, which reached nineteen thousand this year.

The report says one hundred ninety-four thousand students at American colleges and universities were from

China. That is an increase of more than twenty-three percent over the year before. Peggy Blumenthal, an expert(专家) of international education, described the effect of the increase in Chinese students.

"Now they have been coming for some time. But this year was the highest level ever." She says many Chinese families are able to pay for the highest-quality education for their children. The children mainly choose to study in America.

"We know many of them have enough income to be able to afford to send them anywhere in the world that they want to go. And for the most part, looking around the world, Chinese students still prefer to come to the United States as their choice."

Chinese students are not the only ones who want to attend American colleges and universities. After China, India sends the second largest number of students to the United States for higher education. India has about one hundred thousand students in American schools. South Korea is third with about seventy two thousand students.

Why do so many foreign students study in the United States? Peggy Blumenthal provides one reason.

"The advantage America has is that we have a huge system and a very perfect system. So there are over four thousand universities and colleges in the United States. Among them are some top ones in the world, and what that tells us is there is still a lot of room to host international students."

Foreign students represent less than four percent of the total student population in American higher education. And from Learning English, that's the VOA Special English Education Report. I'm Bob Doughty. Thanks for listening.
