the country. The new measures were released by the Australian Department of Tertiary Education, Skills, Jobs and Workplace Relations in September and will take effect in mid-2012. As a result, the student visa application process for overseas students has been simplified, and the deposit (押金) required to study in Australia has been reduced. Language requirements for overseas students have also been eased.
Also, o

company that provides services to students wishing to study overseas. However, in the past few years,
many of Wang"s student clients (客户) could not start studies in Australia because they did not meet the
language requirements, visa processing took a long time and deposit regulations were tough. The change
in policy is good news for the parents of students wishing to study in Australia, Wang says.
A 22-year-old female student surnamed Li, in Beijing, who is planning to do her postgraduate
studies in Australia, learned about the policy change several weeks ago. "According to the previous
deposit requirement for my student visa, my family was required to put down 550,000 yuan ($86,850).
Now we only need to prepare 410,000 yuan. This is a relief for my parents," Li says.
She also says that the two to four years working visa makes her feel much clearer about her study plans. "I believe several years of working experience abroad will strengthen my competitiveness when I
return to China," she says. Gaining a competitive advantage is the major reason for Chinese students to
study abroad, according to the report by

parents often send their children to the best schools or even abroad to England , the United States or
Australia . They also want their children to take extra-course activities where they will learn a musical
instrument or ballet or other classes which will give them a head start in life . The Chinese believe that the
more expensive an education is , the better it is . So the parents will spend an unreasonable amount of
money on education. Even poor couples will buy a computer for their son or daughter.
However, what most parents fail to see is that the best early education they can give their children is
usually very cheap.
Parents can see that their children"s skills vary , skilled in some areas while poor in others . What most parents fail to realize though , is that today"s children lack self-respect and self-confidence.
The problem is that parents are only educating their children on how to take multiple-choice tests and how to study well , but parents aren"t teaching them the most important skills they need to be confident , happy and clever.
Parents can achieve this by teaching practical skills like cooking , sewing and doing housework .
Teaching a child to

Some old machines , such as a broken radio or TV set that you give your children to play with will make him curious and arouse his interest He will spend hours looking at them , trying to fix them ; your child
might become an engineer when he grows up . These activities aren"t merely teaching a child to read a
book , but rather to think , to use his mind . And that is more important.

expressions - and a new report published online in Current Biology explains why .
Rachael Jack , University of Glasgow researcher , said that rather than scanning evenly(均匀的)
across a face as Westerners do , Easterners fix their attention on the eyes .
" We show that Easterners and Westerners look at different face features to read facial expressions ,
" Jack said . " Westerners look at the eyes and the mouth in equal measure , while Easterners favor the
eyes and neglect (忽略) the mouth ."
According to Jack and her colleagues , the discovery shows that human communication of emotion is
more complex than previously believed . As a result , facial expressions that had been considered
universally recognizable cannot be used to reliably convey emotion in cross-cultural situations .
The researchers studied cultural differences in the recognition of facial expressions by recording the
eye movements of 13 Western Caucasian and 13 East Asian people while they observed pictures of
expressive faces and put them into categories : happy , sad , surprised , fearful , disgusted , angry , or
neutral . They compared how accurately participants read those facial expressions using their particular
eye movement str
![](http://img.shitiku.com.cn/uploads/allimg/20191216/20191216133818-70407.png)
It turned out that Easterners focused much greater attention on the eyes and made significantly more
errors than Westerners did . " The cultural difference in eye movements that they show is probably a
reflection of cultural difference in facial expressions , " Jack said . " Our data suggest that whereas
Westerners use the whole face to convey emotion , Easterners use the eyes more and mouth less ."
In short , the data show that facial expressions are not universal signals of human emotion . From here
on , examining how cultural factors have diversified these basic social skills will help our understanding of
human emotion . Otherwise , when it comes to communicating emotions across cultures , Easterners and Westerners will find themselves lost in translation .
B. consider facial expressions universally reliable
C. observe the eyes and the mouth in different ways
D. have more difficulty in reco

depression,panic,confusion and extreme isolation when they are forced to keep away from technology
for a day.The study concluded that "most students failed to go the full 24 hours without media". They
have been addicted to the modem technology.
[2] In this research, almost 1,000 university students from 12 campuses in 10 countries, including Britain, America and China, have been interviewed. Most of them were unable to avoid technology for one full
day. The researchers concluded that, college students at campuses across the globe admitted being
"addicted" to modem technology such as mobile phones, laptops and televisions as well as social
networking such as Facebook and Twitter. An American college student told of his great desire when he
was forced to keep away from the media. He even said it "cocaine addiction".
[3]The research also found students used "nearly the same words to describe their reactions when they
were away from the media". These included emotions such as confusion,anxiety, insecurity, jealousness,
anger, loneliness, dependence and depression.
[4] Professor Susan Moeller, who led the research, said technology had changed the students" relationships. "Students talked about how seary(可怕的) it was when there is no technology, how addicted they
were to it," she said. "They expected the frustration without the media. But they didn"t expect to have the
psychological effects, to be lonely, to be panicked, the anxiety, literally heart palpitations (心悸).
Technology provides the social network for young people today and they have spent their entire lives
being "plugged in " . "

of about 100,000 separate genes made of DNA. These are the instructions for producing a person.
Genes decide everything from the colour of your skin to the way your brain works. You have one of
several billion combinations of DNA which come from the random mixing of your parents" genes. Except
for identical twins (同卵双胞胎), no one has the same combination as another person. You are unique!
You are unique in another way too: in the way you are raised and all the experiences you have from before birth to adult life.These experiences influence you, your behaviour and attitudes, and the choices you make.
But are genes or life experiences more important in shaping your appearance and personality? Scientists are studying twins to find out. One set of twins occurs every 70 births---some are identical and others are non-identical twins. Identical twins are special because they share exactly the same genes and often the same environment. Non-identical twins are more like ordinary brothers and sisters.
Some identical twins have been adopted and brought up in different homes. With identical genes but a
different home environment, scientists can study twins to see how much a particular feature depends on the genes we inherit. For example, we know that eye problems, like short-sightedness, are mostly genetic. But resistance to pain is largely dependent on experiences. Genes also influence our eating habits. Identical twins brought up apart often like to eat at the same time of day and feel full after eating the same amount.
Non-identical twins in similar circumstances have more varied eating habits. Identical twins are also more
likely to follow the same patterns for marriage and divorce than non-identical twins.
Scientists are trying to identify the different genes that influence our behaviour. Some people are
thrill-seekers and get into risk-taking and adventurous activities. They take up extreme sports like bungee
jumping and possibly take drugs. Scientists have discovered a gene which affects this.
We could ask, "Are our lives determined by our genes or our upbringing?" Scientists are learning more all the time, but it is certainly true that both are important in making us who we are.
B. How we turn out depends on our parents" genes.
C. Everyone has a physical double somewhere in the world.
D. Both our genes and our experiences make us who we are.
B. To discover what shapes us as individuals.
C. To compare differences between twins.
D. To study brother-and-sister relationships.
B. non-identical twins are usually not of the same sex
C. twins separated at birth behave exactly the same
D. identical twins are genetically the same
B. Eye-sight.
C. Pain resistance.
D. Marriage patterns.
B. Our attitude to risk-taking.
C. Our skill at bungee jumping.
D. Our ability to take drugs.
paying attention to the revolution that is taking place in bio-technology (生物技术). With the help of new medicine, the human body will last a very long time. Death will come mainly from accidents, murder and
war. Today"s leading killers, such as heart diseases, cancer, and aging itself, will become distant memory.
In discussion of technological changes, the Internet gets most of the attention these days. But the
change in medicine can be the real technological event of our times. How long can humans live? Human
brains were known to decide the final death. Cells(细胞) are the basic units of all living things, and
until recently, scientists were sure that the life of cells could not go much beyond 120 years because the
basic materials of cells, such as those of brain cells, would not last forever. But the upper limits will be
broken by new medicine. Sometime between 2050 and 2100, medicine will have advanced to the point
at which every 10 years or so, people will be able to take medicine to repair their organs(器官). The
medicine, made up of the basic building materials of life, will build new brain cells, heart cells, and so
on-in much the same way our bodies make new skin cells to take the place of old ones.
It is exciting to imagine that the advance in technology may be changing the most basic conditional
human existence, but many technical problems still must be cleared up on the way to this wonderful future.
B. accidents and war
C. accidents and aging
D. heart diseases and war

B. human have to take medicine to build new skin cells now
C. much needs to be done before humans can have a longer life
D. we have already solved the technical problems in building new cells.
