India for the first time this decade to become the country that sends the most students to the United States,
according to the annual report the Institute of International Education (IIE) released (发布) on Monday.
The number of Chinese students in the US has increased by 30 percent during the 2009-2010 academic
year to about 128,000, or 18.3 percent of the total international student population in the country, the report
said.
"The Chinese economy is booming. The growing middle class are able to send their children abroad for
higher education as many families have only one child and they use all their resources on that child." said
Peggy Blumenthal, executive vice-president of IIE.
Another reason is that many Chinese parents are attracted by the US higher education system. "American
undergraduate education is really appealing Chinese parents who are thinking about what is needed for China
in the future and how their son or daughter can be employable," Blumenthal said.
Chinese overseas study agencies expect more Chinese students to go to the US next year, partly due to
the weakened US dollar and more flexible visa policies.
The study and living costs for an undergraduate Chinese student in the US every year are roughly about
250,000 yuan ($37,000), and the depreciation of the US dollar may save about 10 percent of the cost, said
Liu Qingsheng, a senior manager with Shinyway International, a Beijing-based overseas study consulting
company.
A more flexible visa policy, which the US started to adopt in 2008, is another major attraction, he said.
B. as many as 128,000 international students study in the US
C. the number of the Chinese students in the US make first
D. more than 18.3 percent of Chinese students study abroad
B. the US higher education system
C. a proving middle class in China
D. strong economic growth in the US
B. decrease in quality
C. fall in value
D. increase in weight

The United States federal government had two young men in the state of Tennessee arrested on October
22 on unknown charges.
In court documents published on Monday, it came to light that the men had discussed attacking an African-
American school and killing 14 of them.
Another crime was about planning to murder Presidential candidate Barack Obama. According to their
affidavits (口供), the suspects" "final act of violence" would be when they attacked Obama while wearing
white suits and top hats and driving"their vehicle as fast as they could toward Obama shooting at him from
the windows."
The two suspects are Paul Schlesselman, 18, of West Helena, http://wx.jtyjy.com/ Arkansas and Daniel
Cowart, 20, of Bells, Tennessee. According to the court papers, they met last month over the Internet through
a friend. Schlesselman and Cowart are believed to share "very strong views" about White Power.
Schlesselman listed "being racist" as his occupation on his MySpace page. He further wrote:"I"m white.
I"m proud. I get angry. I like guns."
Cowart also had a MySpace page on which photos of guns were presented under a heading of "My Guns".
On his page he wrote, "Better to die quick fighting on your feet than to live forever begging on your knees."
Some have questioned the pair"s ability to carry out the charged plan, but authorities have been very
concerned about Obama as the first black presidential candidate from a major party.
"We honestly don"t know if they had the ability or the skill to carry out the kind of plan that they talked
about," said Malcolm Wiley, of the United States Secret Service in an interview with The New York Times.
"But we take any threat seriously no matter how big or how small it is."

in 1914, but its journey was much slower than Christmas. It has just arrived in northwest Kansas recently.
The Christmas card was dated December 23, 1914, and mailed to Ethel Martin of Oberlin, apparently from
her cousins in Alma, Nebraska.
"It"s a mystery where it spent most of the last century," Oberlin Postmaster Steve Schultz said.
"It"s surprising that it never got thrown away," he said. "How someone has found it, I don"t know."
Ethel Martin has passed away, but Schultz said the post office wanted to get the card to a relative. That"s
how the 93-year-old relic ended up with Bernice Martin, Ethel"s, sister-in-law. She said she believed the card
had been found somewhere in Illinois.
"That"s all we-know," she said. "But it is kind of curious. We"d like to know how it got down there."
"The card was placed inside another envelope with a modern postage stamp for the trip to Oberlin-the one
cent postage of the early 20th century wouldn"t have covered it," Martin said.
"We don"t know much about it," she said. "But wherever they kept it, it was in perfect shape."

China"s second manned spacecraft returned on October 17 after orbiting the earth for five days. Astronauts
Fei Junlong, 40, and Nie Haisheng, 41, were flown to Beijing where they were given a hero"s welcome after
their Shenzhou VI space capsule touched down in their remote steppes of the northern Chinese region of Inner
Mongolia.
The two men were in good health after orbiting the earth 76 times covering 3.25 million kilometers. State
media hailed the mission as a technological breakthrough and this proved to the world China"s power.
Soon after the craft landed at 4:33 am (20:33 GMT), barely l km (half a mile) from its target, jubilant
residents in Fei"s and Nie"s hometowns set off firecrackers and performed traditional dragon and lion dances,
beating gongs and drums.

independent exam-besides the national one-to test students hoping to gain entrance to them in 2011.

University, Xiamen University and Hong Kong University.

exams.

(有助的) to better understanding where the students" talents lie.

standby at the training base to help with Liu"s recovery.

home fans.

Memorial Hermann-Texas Medical Center in Houston, and had four calcium deposits (钙物质) removed from
