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 four-year colleges and graduate schools in the American South andStudents from English-speaking countries and from northern and central Europe were more likely to be happy with their friendships. 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 not knowing 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.

The freshman has it going out for a walk, visiting th e library or lying in bed. However, he found that his habit is like displaying a big “Do not disturb ”sign for himself.As time slips away, he has begun to regret not having conversed much with his peers around . “As I put the little buds into my ear s, I’m immersed in a universe of my own, forgetting all troubles in the real world,” said Li.The MP3 player is one of a number of gadgets — starting with the Sony Walkman, which led to the iPod, iPhone and iPad —that give people the ability to shut themselves off from world around them.Youngsters delight in handset technology. In public, students chat on their cell phones, stopping only to talk briefly to friends. On buses or trains it’s common to see youngsters with PlayStations instead of playing poker or sharing jokes or games. And during airline flights, people watch episodes of US TV dramas on their iPads, rather than talking.The BBC News magazine recently published an article saying that headphone wearing culture is making us anti-social. “Half of h umankind is wired to a parallel universe that leaves them ignoring their surroundings and fellows,” wrote Tom de Castella.Actually, it’s a decade since Apple unveiled the iPod, which promised “1,000 songs in your pocket”. In 2007 more than half of Western residents were using an iPod or MP3 player.Entertainment is on offer in all surroundings, not just at home. But in the meantime, it has created barriers between us. Many people subscribe to the view that the headphone culture is creating a “spoilt, selfi sh generation that lacks civic culture”.However, many users of portable MP3 players argue that the device, as a mind drug, helps them relieve stressby escaping for a while. It is also said to be able to help some students concentrate on work or study. “I f you wantto get away from the hucksters on the way, just start listening to your player,” said Liu, a freshman. “They do not approach people with headphones on.” This might also mean he’s blocking those who want to ask him for the directions.Experts, however, say that short contacts or mini conversations with strangers are helpful to our mind. Many experts warn that it is dangerous to lose touch with people in our lives.11.Zhu Haoyu found that his wearing the iPod .A.disturbed othersB.made it easy for him to keep in touch with othersC.made it easy for him to visit the libraryD.made others unwilling to talk to him12.T he underlined word “immersed” can be replaced by .A.LostB.involvedC.engagedD.interested13.W hat is the main idea of the fourth paragraph?A.Students are always busy chatting on their cell phones in public.B.Young people are fond of portable listening or visual devices.C.Young people like to watch US TV dramas on their iPads.D.People like to enjoy the networking.14.W hich of the following is not true?A.Headphone wearing culture makes people ignore their surroundings and fellows.B.Apple released the iPod ten years ago.C.There are still many people support the headphone culture.D.It’s dangerous to have conversations with st rangers.15.W hat is the writer’s attitude towards the headphone culture ?A.Agreeable.B.Critical.C.Doubtful.D.Neutral.第二节七选五（共5 小题，每小题2.5 分，满分12.5 分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。
