The number of Japanese students in the Chinese mainland is more than those studying in the US, according to Japan’s Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology, a Taiwan news outlet reported on Monday.

Japan saw the peak of studying abroad in 2010 when 124,000 sought academic careers overseas.About 61,000 Japanese studied in the US in 2010, about half the total studying abroad.But since then, the number has decreased.In 2015, the number was down to only just over 20,000, about 20 percent of Japanese students being educated overseas.

The number of Japanese going to the Chinese mainland to study has been rising since 2009 and now surpasses the US.

An official spokesman said, “Choices are various for studying abroad nowadays, not just limited to the US. Many Japanese universities have an increasing number of exchange pro-grams with Chinese universities and Japanese companies now tend to prefer people with academic experience in Asia rather than the US or Europe as previously.Tuition fees (学费) are another reason.Annual fees in US universities are almost twice those charged by Chinese universities.”

Some Japanese experts say the decline indicates young Japanese are satisfied with the domestic situation rather than preparing for challenges outside.

Sometimes when I’m flying from one speaking engagement to another, I find myself sitting next to someone who's quite talkative. This is often a pleasant experience for me because I’m a people-watcher. I learn so much by watching and listening to the people I meet and see every day. I’ve heard stories of sadness and others of delight, fear and joy, and others that would rival those on “Oprah” and "Geraldo”.

Sad to say,there are times when I’m sitting next to someone who just wants to vent(发泄) his temper or inflict(强加)his political views on an audience for 600 miles. It was one of those days. I settled in, as my seatmate began his speech on the terrible state of the world with the time worn, “You know, kids today are...” He went on and on, sharing vague notions of the terrible state of teens and young adults, based on watching the six o’clock news rather selectively.

When I gratefully got off that plane and finally made it to my hotel in Indianapolis, I bought the local paper and went to have dinner in the hotel. There, on an inside page, was an article I believe ought to have been the front-page headline news.

In a little Indiana town, there was a 15-year-old boy with a brain tumor. He was undergoing radiation and chemotherapy(化疗)treatments,As a result of those treatments, he had lost all of his hair. I don’t know about you, but I remember how I would have felt about that at his age ---I would have felt awkward and ashamed.

This young man’s classmates willingly came to the rescue: all the boys in his grade asked their mothers if they could shave their heads so that Brian wouldn’t be the only bald boy in the high school. There, on that page was a photograph of a mother shaving all of her sons’ hair with the family looking on approvingly. And in the background, a group of similar bald young men.

No, I don’t despair about kids today.

2.The word “rival” in the first paragraph could best be replaced by .

3.What's the author’s attitude towards his seatmate?

C. Indifferent. D. Satisfied.

4.The author's purpose in telling the news about the 15-year-old boy is .

A. to show his disappointment in kids today

B. to praise the diseased boy’s bravery

1.Simon Sinek is naturally shy and doesn't like speaking to crowds.At parties,he says he hides alone in the corner or doesn't even show up in the first place.He prefers the latter.Yet,with some 22million video views under his belt,the optimistic ethnographer also happens to be the third most-watched TED Talks presenter of all time.
Sinek's unlikely success as both an inspirational speaker and a bestselling author isn't just dumb luck.It's the result of fears faced and erased,trial and error and tireless practice,on and off stage.Here are his secrets for delivering speeches that inspire,inform and entertain.
Don't talk right away.
Sinek says you should never talk as you walk out on stage."A lot of people start talking right away,and it's out of nerves,"Sinek says."That communicates a little bit of insecurity and fear."
Instead,quietly walk out on stage.Then take a deep breath,find your place,wait a few seconds and begin."I know it sounds long and tedious and it feels excruciatingly awkward when you do it,"Sinek says,"but it shows the audience you're totally confident and in charge of the situation."
Show up to give,not to take.
Often people give presentations to sell products or ideas,to get people to follow them on social media,buy their books or even just to like them.Sinek calls these kinds of speakers"takers,"and he says audiences can see through these people right away.And,when they do,they disengage.
"We are highly social animals,"says Sinek."Even at a distance on stage,we can tell if you're a giver or a taker,and people are more likely to trust a giver-a speaker that gives them value,that teaches them something new,that inspires them-than a taker."
Speak unusually slowly.
When you get nervous,it's not just your heart beat that quickens.Your words also tend to speed up.Luckily Sinek says audiences are more patient and forgiving than we know.
"They want you to succeed up there,but the more you rush,the more you turn them off,"he says."If you just go quiet for a moment and take a long,deep breath,they'll wait for you.It's kind of amazing."
Turn nervousness into excitement.
Sinek learned this trick from watching the Olympics.A few years ago he noticed that reporters interviewing Olympic athletes before and after competing were all asking the same question."Were you nervous?"And all of the athletes gave the same answer:"No,I was excited."These competitors were taking the body's signs of nervousness-clammy hands,pounding heart and tense nerves-and reinterpreting them as side effects of excitement and exhilaration.
When you're up on stage you will likely go through the same thing.That's when Sinek says you should say to yourself out loud,"I'm not nervous,I'm excited!"
Say thank you when you're done.
Applause is a gift,and when you receive a gift,it's only right to express how grateful you are for it.This is why Sinek always closes out his presentations with these two simple yet powerful words:thank you.
"They gave you their time,and they're giving you their applause."Says Sinek."That's a gift,and you have to be grateful."
