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] Apart from the education, what can people get from living abroad?
选项
A、A huge sum of scholarship.
B、A new knowledge of the world.
C、An opportunity to meet superstars.
D、A new perspective on the university campus.
答案
B
解析
第三段首句指出,在国外生活和学习让作者对世界有了不同的看法。该段进一步指出,与不同国家和地区的同学接触并了解不同的观点可以帮助作者对不同的社会有一个深刻的理解,同时不可避免地使作者对自己的国家有一个新的认识。由此可知,在国外学习和生活可以让人们在学到知识的同时,对世界有一个新的认识。B)为原文的同义转述。
