Culture Shock

出国留学存在争议,但作者认为,尽管出国要花很多钱,而且也许要经历许多痛苦,但其回报是丰厚的。因为它的好处不仅仅是获得知识,而且是人的一生中值得向往的经历。

Going abroad for study

The other day I announced that I would go abroad for further study right after

my college education.My decision evoked (引起,唤起) the immediate objection of my

family:Why?Why should I borrow a huge sum of money for overseas study while I might

receive the same education at home at a relatively (相对地) low cost? 1

First,experience is the opportunity for the reallife use of foreign languages.

2 .There is no better opportunity to improve secondlanguage skills than living

in the country in which it is spoken.

3 On a university campus,foreign students are likely to come across their

counter­parts from different countries and areas and are exposed to different ideas

and values.This helps me to have a better understanding of different societies and

inevitably (必然地) see my own country in a new light (以新的眼光).

Third,overseas experience,disappointing and painful as it may be,is helpful.A

person going abroad for study often experiences much more difficulty-difficulty

in adapting to a new culture and in dealing with all problems alone.Yet,the

difficulty,coupled with the frustration brought on by culture shock,is a rewarding

experience for one's future life and development of personality (个性).

Although going abroad is expensive and perhaps painful,the payoff (回报) is

worthwhile.For the benefit is not merely knowledge gained,but the experience 唐玲 desirable in one's personal life.

根据短文内容,从下面所给选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。

A.While a person can study a foreign language at home,the effect can never

be compared with constant use of the language in everyday life.

B.Overseas study is attractive to many young people.

C.A person can study a foreign language both at home and abroad.

D.My answer is:in addition to knowledge,I can gain experience that those who

stay at home will never have.

E.Second,living and studying abroad offers me a different perspective (角度) of the world.
