问题    The other day I announced that I would go abroad for further studies right after my college education. My decision evoked (引起) the immediate objection of my family: Why? Why should I borrow a huge sum of money for overseas studies while I might receive the same education at home at a relatively low cost? My answer is: In addition to knowledge, I can gain experience that those who stay at home will never have.
   First, experience is the opportunity for the real-life use of foreign languages. While a person can study a foreign language at home, the effect can never be compared with constant use of the language in academic and everyday life. There is no better opportunity to improve second-language skills than living in the country in which it is spoken. Living in English-speaking countries such as America and Australia for several years, for example, my English will be as perfect as native speakers.
   Second, living and studying abroad offers me a different perspective on the world. On a university campus, foreign students are likely to encounter their counterparts (对应的人或物) from different countries and areas and are exposed to different ideas and values. This helps me to have a meaningful understanding of different societies and inevitably see my own country in a new light.
   Third, overseas experience, frustrating and painful as it may be, is helpful. A person going abroad for study often experiences much more difficulties—difficulties 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.
   Although going abroad is expensive and perhaps painful, the payoff is worthwhile. For the benefit is not merely knowledge gained, but the experience desirable in one’s personal life. [br] In the author’s opinion, what is the advantage of going abroad?
选项 A、To get the knowledge people need only.
B、To deepen the study as well as enrich the experience.
C、To satisfy people and relieve the pain.
D、To get what people need in their life.
答案 B
解析 文章末句指出，国外留学有益之处并不仅仅是可以获得知识，还包括一个人在其生活中所渴望获得的经历。由此可知，作者认为国外学习的好处是深化学习和丰富人生经历，B)表述与此句相同。
