7 January, 2014
A new report says more and more international students are attending colleges and universities in the United States. It also notes a large increase in the number of international students from China.
These findings are from the latest Open Doors Report. The report documents the record number of international students in the United States during 2012, 2013 school year. It says more than seven hundred sixty-four thousand four-hundred such students were attending American colleges and universities during the last two years. That represents an increase of almost six percent than one year earlier.
On the other hand, the number of Americans studying overseas (海外) increased by one percent, which reached nineteen thousand this year.
The report says one hundred ninety-four thousand students at American colleges and universities were from
China. That is an increase of more than twenty-three percent over the year before. Peggy Blumenthal, an expert(专家) of international education, described the effect of the increase in Chinese students.
"Now they have been coming for some time. But this year was the highest level ever." She says many Chinese families are able to pay for the highest-quality education for their children. The children mainly choose to study in America.
"We know many of them have enough income to be able to afford to send them anywhere in the world that they want to go. And for the most part, looking around the world, Chinese students still prefer to come to the United States as their choice."
Chinese students are not the only ones who want to attend American colleges and universities. After China, India sends the second largest number of students to the United States for higher education. India has about one hundred thousand students in American schools. South Korea is third with about seventy two thousand students.
Why do so many foreign students study in the United States? Peggy Blumenthal provides one reason.
"The advantage America has is that we have a huge system and a very perfect system. So there are over four thousand universities and colleges in the United States. Among them are some top ones in the world, and what that tells us is there is still a lot of room to host international students."
Foreign students represent less than four percent of the total student population in American higher education. And from Learning English, that"s the VOA Special English Education Report. I"m Bob Doughty. Thanks for listening.

China"s first moon rover (月球车), Yutu, set off from the lander early on December 15, several hours after the Chang"e-3 probe (探测器) soft-landed on the moon surface.
The 140 kg six-wheeled rover touched the moon surface at 4:35 a.m., leaving deep lines on the loose moon land. This was recorded by the camera on the lander and the images were sent to the earth, according to the Beijing Aerospace Control Center. After that, the rover and lander will take photos of each other and start their own science explorations.
Earlier this morning, engineers made final checks of the environment of the landing area and the situation of the probe. Yutu, reached its solar panel (光板) and started to drive slowly to the moon at 3:10 a.m.. It took Yutu nearly a whole hour to complete the simple task.
Chang"e-3 landed at the Bay of Rainbows on the moon, at 9:11 p.m. on December 14, making China the
third country in the world to carry out such a mission (执行此类任务) after the United States and Russia.
In old Chinese tales, Yutu was the white pet rabbit of Chang"e’s. The name for the rover was selected following an online survey that collected several million votes from people around the world.
The rover, 1.5 meters long with its two wings folded (折叠), 1 m in width and 1.1 m in height, is a perfect robot controlled by the command center from the earth. It will face challenges including temperature differences of more than 300℃ on the moon.
Yutu will do some research and look for natural resources (资源) for three months, while the lander will conduct an exploration at the landing place for one year. Then they will have a good rest on the moon and will not be used for a long time until China’s next probe visits the moon again.

For many people, that"s enough of an answer, but there"s more if you are interested.
Yoga began in India about 5,000 years ago. At that time, people wanted to be free, healthy and live a long life, so this kind of exercise was born. The early yoga was part of a religion (宗教). It was usually taught one to one—one teacher with one student. Yoga is an Indian word that means “to join together”. There are three parts of yoga altogether: exercise, breathing and meditation (沉思). In the past, people paid more attention to the spirit. The idea behind the exercise was to join the mind, body and spirit as one. Yoga can give you peace, help you feel relaxed, and have fewer worries and illnesses. 204

It was a lovely spring day. We could see dandelions(蒲公英)popping(炸开) the grass in bunches(束). I watched my mother bend down by one of the bunches. “I think I’ll dig up(挖光)all these weeds(野草),” she said. “From now on, we’ll have roses in this garden.”
“But I like dandelions,” I protested(抗议). “All the flowers are -- even dandelions!”
My mother looked at me seriously. “Yes, every flower gives pleasure in its own way, doesn’t it?” she asked thoughtfully. I nodded. “And that is of people, too.” She added.
When I that she had guessed my pain, I started to cry and told her the truth. “But you will be a wonderful narrator,” she said, me of how much I loved to read stories aloud.
Thanks to my mother’s encouragement, I got to know everybody had his or her own in the world, I felt proud of the role in the play.

Driving a car or using electricity is not wrong. We just have to be smart about it. Some people use less energy by sharing a car. For example, four people can ride together in one car instead of driving four cars to work. Whenever we use electricity, we put greenhouse gases into the air. By turning off the lights, the television, and the computer when they aren’t needed, you can help a lot.
Don’t buy products (产品) that use too much energy. Some products, like certain cars, are made specially to save energy. These cars can travel longer on less gasoline (汽油). They don’t pollute as much, either. Products like computers, TVs and VCRs with the ENERGY STAR label (标签) are made to save energy. Buying products with these labels will help protect the environment.
Buy recyclable (可循环再用的) products instead of non-recyclable ones. Recyclable products are usually made out of things that have already been used. It usually takes less energy to make recyclable products than to make new ones. So when you go shopping, look for the recycle mark on the package. The less energy we use, the better.
小题1:The passage is mainly about ________________.
A.some suggestions about cars |
B.an advertisement |
C.the changes to the climate |
D.the ways to protect the environment |
A.turning off the electricity when it isn’t needed can do good to the environment |
B.electricity won’t cause great trouble to our environment |
C.cars using less energy will not put greenhouse gases into the air |
D.recyclable products are marked with the ENERGY STAR label |
To learn English well, you need two things-passion and good learning methods (方法). Passion is the more important one. Why? Because passion makes you want to learn English. Learning methods only tell you how to learn it better and faster.
If you love learning English, you will learn it regularly (有规律地) and spend much time on it. It will also be easy for you to remember new words and grammar rules. ________ For example, some people like history and know a lot about World War II. If you ask a person who doesn’t like history to memorize all the facts, he probably can’t do it.
When you don’t want to learn English, you can do the following things.
First, imagine that you can talk to native speakers just as you talk in your mother language. Imagine yourself to be a manager in a foreign company. Imagine you’re living in an English-speaking country.
Second, use English as much as possible. This is very important. The more you use English, the better you’ll learn it. English is very popular, so you can use it everywhere. You can watch American cartoons, write English diaries, and read interesting books written in English.
小题1:The underlined word “passion” means “______” in Chinese.
A.态度 | B.热情 | C.步骤 | D.情绪 |
A.You can’t memorize everything while learning English. |
B.You will find it hard to learn English. |
C.That’s because you can easily remember what you like. |
D.Everyone likes to learn what they like most. |
A.Go to English-speaking countries. |
B.Read interesting English books. |
C.Stop learning it for some time. |
D.Listen to music or play sports. |
A.You need two things if you want to learn English well. |
B.It’s difficult for a person to know a lot about World War II if he isn’t interested in history. |
C.Learning methods are more important than passion. |
D.It’s easy for you to remember new words or grammar rules if you’re an English lover. |
A.the importance of learning English |
B.English in the modern world |
