Those feelings are among the reasons why Australia is taking a close look at its international education industry. But wherever international students go, making friends may not always be easy. Elisabeth Gareis of Baruch College in New York surveyed 454 international students. They were attending fouryear colleges and graduate schools in the American South and Northeast. Students from Englishspeaking countries and from northern and central Europe were more likely to be happy with their friendship. But 38% of the international students said they had no close friends in the United States. And half of the students from East Asia said they were unhappy with the number of American friends they had. Thirty percent said they wished their friendships could be deeper and more meaningful. Professor Gareis says, “Students from East Asia have cultures that are different on many levels from the culture in the United States. There are also language problems, and maybe some social skills, such as small talks, which are possibly not as important in their native countries, where it’s not as important to start friendships with small talks. Many East Asian students blamed themselves for their limited friendships with Americans, for not speaking the language well enough and for notknowing the culture well enough.”VOA’s Students Union blogger Jessica Stahl did her own survey to find out how American students and foreign students relate to each other. More than 100 students, about half of them American, answered her online questions. Half of the international students and 60% of the Americans said they related as well or better to the other group than to their own group.Professor Gareis says, “International students who make friends with host nationals are, overall, more satisfied with their stay in the host country. They have better language skills, better academic performance and better attitudes toward the host country.”【语篇解读】本文是一篇说明文。

Ⅰ阅读理解(2018·烟台诊断)Grandparents who help out occasionally withchildcare in their community tend to live longer than seniors who do notcare for other people, according to a study from Berlin, Germany.“Having no contact with grandchildren at all can negatively impactgrandparents’health. This link could be deeply rooted in our evolutionary past when help with childcare was important for the survival of the human species，”said Sonja Hilbrand, one of the researchers.The findings are drawn from data on more than 500 people over age 70. Overall, after accounting for grandparents’ age and general state of health, the risk of dying over a 20year period was onethird lower for grandparents who cared for their grandchildren，compared with grandparents who provided no childcare.Caregiving was associated with a longer life even when the care receiver wasn’t relative. Half of all childless seniors who provided support to friends or neighbors lived for seven years after the study began, while nonhelpers lived for four years on average.“Caregiving may give caregivers a purpose of life because they may feel useful for others and society. Caregiving may be thought also as an activity that keeps caregivers physically and mentally active，”said Professor Bruno Arpino.Arpino noted, however, that caregiving is not the only activity that can improve health and that too many caring responsibilities can take away from other beneficial activities like working, being in social clubs, or volunteering.“Children should take__into__account their parents’needs, willingness, and desires and agree with them on the timing and amount of childcare，”he suggested.“It is very important that every individual decides for himself/herself, what ‘proper amounts of help’means，”Hilbrand said, adding, “As long as you do not feel stressed about the intensity(强度)of help you provide you may be doing something good for others as well as for yourself.”【解题导语】德国柏林一项研究发现，祖父母适当地帮忙照顾孙辈比不照顾孙辈的老年人寿命长。

高考英语一轮复习第一部分基础考点聚焦Unit2TheOlympicGames知能演练轻松闯关新人教版必修2Ⅰ阅读理解AIsabel has turned down two job offers in thepast year. The first job she considered was thedirector of HR for a company in Utah. After theinitial interviews, she felt the job fit her except for the location. Still, she flew west to meet the hiring manager. The hiring manager explained that Isabel was the top candidate for the job but that, before she continued with the process, she should better understand the firm’s culture. She directed Isabel to several videos of the company’s CEO, who regularly appeared in front of the company in costume as part of morale building exercises and expected his senior leaders to do the same.“Even though I was desperate for a job, I knew I couldn’t do that，” Isabel says. She called the company to turn down the job and explained that she didn’t feel there was a cultural fit.A few months later, she had an interview for another job：a director of employee relations at a local university. After several interviews, the hiring manager told her the job was hers if she wanted it. The job had many positives：it provided a low stress environment, it offered great benefits, and the university was an employeefriendly place. But the job was relatively junior despite the title and Isabel worried it wouldn’t be challenging enough. Finally, she turned it down.“ It would be great to have a paycheck and great benefits but I would definitely have trouble sleeping at night，” she says.In both cases, she was frank with the hiring managers about why she wasn’t taking the jobs.“In the past, it felt like dating, and I was worried about hurting people’s feelings，” she says. However, they appreciated her frankness and thanked her for her honesty. She says it was hard to turn down the jobs and it was a risk for her financially but she felt she had to.【解题导语】本文是一篇记叙文，主要讲述了Isabel拒绝两份工作的经历和感想。

Questions arise, though, when it comes to all of the decisions involved in choosing a college.One of the first considerations may be finance. State and public colleges are often the least expensive. Often, though, the better colleges are private and more expensive. It is sad when gifted students cannot attend a college of their choice just for financial reasons.Another major factor is location. Whether the college is in a small town or large city can have a major impact on its activities. A water lover probably will be more comfortable spending four years near an ocean or a lake. Those who cannot tolerate heat will probably be more comfortable at a northern college. Distance from homemay also come into consideration. If family is a top priority, that person should stay close to home; on the other hand, if independence is desired, a campus farther from home would be more appropriate.School size also plays a major role in the decision process. If you want to get to know your teacher, a small college is suitable. For those of you who consider yourself a “people_person” and want a wide range of activities, a large college is more fitting. Your area of interest is another factor to consider in the decisionmaking process if you want to get the most from your education. The whole point of college is to learn what is of interest to you.Crucially(至关重要地), one must take into consideration the colleges by which you can realistically be accepted. An Ivy League school for an average student would probably not be a good match. Similarly, an average s chool for an aboveaverage student would not work well. The college should provide enough of a challenge for the student to work hard. Although there may not be the perfect college out there, there probably will be one that is close. Those who cannot find a suitable college are probably not looking hard enough.【解题导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍了高中生在选择适合自己的大学时要考虑到的四个因素：个人经济情况、大学的地理位置、学校规模以及个人的成绩，其中个人的成绩是至关重要的。

People whoincreased their weekly activity were reported to have fewerdepressive symptoms but those with more depressive symptoms were less active, particularly at younger ages.Researchers followed 11,135 people born in 1958 up until the age of 50, recording depressive symptoms and levels of physical activity at regular intervals in adulthood. They found that each additional activity period per week reduced oddsof depression by 6%. In England 19% of men and 26% of women are currently classed as “inactive”， and this study suggests that activity could significantly improve their mental as well as physical health.“Assuming the association is causal, physical activity has a protective effect against depression. If an adult between his twenties and forties who isn’t physically active became active 3 times per week, he would reduce his risks of depression by about 16%, ” said Dr Snehal of the UCL Institute of Child Health, lead author of the study.Professor Mark, director of the Public Health Research Centre, said: “Many people are already aware of the benefits of physical activity on their general health, but now we are seeing more evidence that suggests it also has a positive effect on a person’s mental wellbeing. The latest research highlights just how important it is to ensure that people are working and living in environments that allow them to be both physically active and mentally healthy.”【解题导语】最新研究表明，增加每周锻炼身体的次数，能降低人们患抑郁症的风险。

The life and work of Frida Kahlo cannot be separated from those of her companion Diego Rivera(1886—1957)．Together they became figures of legend(传奇), and both have a place in the pantheon of 20th-century Mexican artists.Famous for his large wall paintings, Rivera’s easel paintings, drawings and prints, which form a large part of his artistic production, are less well-known to the public in Europe.The exhibition aims to trace his artistic career from the early Cubist images, revealing his links with the Paris artists whose works are a key element in the Orangerie collections, to the paintings that established him as the founder of the 20th-century school of Mexican art.His travels throughout Europe influenced his vision and his skills without ever distancing him from his roots, thus confirming his place in history as the founder of the nationalist school.

One moment it was quiet and calm in the forest, the next, the air was charged with tension.The elephant had heard the distant alarm calls of animals and her mood suddenly changed.I urged the elephant deeper into the forest.We sounded like a forest fire — crackling, snapping, trailblazing.But through all the noise came a sharp warning cry.The elephant stopped and we heard it again — the tell-tale call of a spotted deer.I looked quickly around the shadows of the forest.Rays of sunlight shone through tree branches, beneath which the patchwork (交错) of green plants and shadows-within-shadows would make tiger stripes (条纹) look more attractive.Apart from an occasional noise from the elephant's stomach, the forest was silent.Gradually, the tension slipped from our bodies.The elephant seized a nearby branch and put it into her mouth.I reached forward and gently moved my hand over the elephant's neck; there was a soft part, free of wrinkles and hairs, behind her ear.This was my fourth time to_sense_the_aura of the forest in Corbett, although I saw no tigers in the end.Located at the foot of the Himalayan mountains, Corbett is home to about 135 Bengal tigers, but the forest seemed to be guarding their whereabouts (出没处), a silent reminder of their secrecy and rarity.Still, I was happy enough touching the elephant behind the ear.If I had so desperately wanted to see a tiger, I could have gone to a zoo.After all, spotting tigers merely confirms their beauty; tracking them can make you aware of something more.1.Which of the following was a clear signal of alarm?A.The elephant stopped.B.A spotted deer called.C.The elephant seized a branch.D.The forest was silent for a while.2.The author begins his account of the tour in the forest mainly by________.A.describing various soundsparing different animalsC.listing different activitiesD.introducing various plants3.What does the u nderlined part “to sense the aura” in Para.4 most probably mean?A.To see the diversity.B.To enjoy the scenery.C.To feel the atmosphere.D.To experience the freedom.4.How does the author feel after several visits to Corbett?A.Seeing a Bengal tiger is quite thrilling.B.It is very time-consuming to travel in Corbett.C.It is really worthwhile to study the animals in Corbett.D.The process of finding Bengal tigers is most appealing.1．解析：选B细节理解题。
