STUDYING ABROAD
[教材原文]
Living in a foreign country sounds exciting, but it's not always easy to fit in with<1> another culture.These Chinese students are studying at universities abroad<2>.
“①I've found it difficult to make friends here.The Australian students seem friendly, but they only talk about things which I find boring<3>, like football and surfing.I like to talk about C-pop, but I haven't found anyone local who shares that interest.Actually<4>, I've noticed<5> that a lot of Chinese students seem to only spend time with their Chinese friends.”
Liu Bao
“I like many things about American culture, but I don't like American food.At first, I had cornflakes for breakfast, a hamburger for lunch, and pizza for dinner.The food tasted good, but after a couple of days, I felt sick.Now I cook at home or have dinner in a local Chinese restaurant.”
Li Ni
“The teachers here in the UK are great.My maths teacher says I'm his best student and I'm learning a lot.But some subjects are very difficult because I have to read and write in English.There are also a lot of discussions and debates<6> in class, and our teachers expect<7> us to ask questions about what we're learning.My spoken English is improving, but I still feel quite shy sometimes.”
Chen Xin
Foreign students who visit China sometimes struggle with aspects of Chinese culture, too.
“I spent a few months studying at a language college in Beijing.I was surprised by how many people I met in Beijing who could speak English.I really wanted to practise speaking putonghua whenever I had a chance, but the people I met were often more interested in practising their English than in helping me practise my Chinese!”
Martin, the UK
“After my visit to a Chinese friend's family, my friend's grandfather walked<8> me to the bus station.I kept telling him that I knew the way myself, but he insisted on<9> taking me there.That was very kind of him.I don't think this would happen in many other cultures.”
Tom, the US
“On the first night of my study tour in China, our class went to a big seafood restaurant for dinner.Everyone shared the food, which was nice, but I'm used to<10> ordering my own meal.Also, at the end of the dinner, everyone wanted to pay the bill! In my country, we usually split<11> the bill and everyone pays their own share.”
Tina, New Zealand

在异国生活听起来就令人兴奋,但是融入另一种文化并不总是那么容易。这些中国学生现在正在国外的大学学习。
“① 我发现在这里交朋友很困难。 澳大利亚的学生似乎都很友好,但是他们只谈论我觉得无聊的事情,比如足球和冲浪。我喜欢谈论C-pop(中文流行音乐),但在当地我还没有发现有同样兴趣的人。事实上,我注意到很多中国学生似乎只花时间和中国朋友在一起。”
刘保
“我喜欢有关美国文化的很多东西,但不喜欢美国食物。起初,我早餐吃麦片,午餐吃汉堡包,晚餐吃比萨。这些食物尝起来很好,但过了几天,我感到非常难受。现在我在家做饭,或者在当地的中餐馆吃饭。”
李妮
“英国这里的老师都很棒。我的数学老师说我是他最好的学生,我学到了很多。但有些科目很难,因为我必须用英文读和写。课堂上也有很多讨论和辩论,老师希望我们对所学内容提出问题。我的英语口语在进步,但我有时还是会感到很害羞。”
陈欣
访问中国的外国学生有时也要努力应对中国文化的某些方面。
“我花了几个月的时间在北京的一所语言学院学习。我为在北京见到了很多会说英语的人而感到惊讶。一有机会我就真的很想练习说普通话,但是我遇到的那些人往往对练习英语更感兴趣,而不是帮我练习中文!”
马丁,来自英国
“在拜访了一个中国朋友的家庭后,朋友的爷爷陪我走到公共汽车站。我一直告诉他我自己认识路,但他坚持要带我去。他真是太好了。我认为在许多其他文化中这种事情不会发生。”
汤姆,来自美国
“我在中国游学的第一个晚上,我们全班去了一家大型海鲜餐厅吃晚餐。每个人都分享食物,这很好,但是我习惯于自己点餐。而且,在晚餐结束时,每个人都想要结账!在我的国家,我们通常分摊账单,每个人付自己那一份。”

READING CLUB 2
DO BOYS AND GIRLS HAVE DIFFERENT READING HABITS?
[教材原文]
The Programme for International Student Assessment(PISA) is a worldwide study of 15-year-old school pupils' scholastic performance in mathematics, science, and reading undertaken<1> by the OECD.A closer look at the reading tests, shows the interesting fact that girls are outperforming<2> boys in reading and that this is associated with<3> girls' greater enjoyment of reading.
One key area which has a major impact on<4> reading performance, is reading for enjoyment rather than<5> simply for study or school work purposes.Interestingly, the PISA study found that in all countries assessed<6> (apart from South Korea), girls read for enjoyment more than boys.The study found that in all the countries assessed, just over half of boys(52%), but almost three-quarters of girls (73%) said that they read for enjoyment which may come as a surprise<7> to many.
In countries such as Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania and the Netherlands, the difference between boys and girls was most significant, where they found a 30% gap<8> or more between the genders<9>.Additionally<10> in places such as Austria and Liechtenstein, very low levels of boys expressed interest in reading (40% or less), which are worrying statistics.
However, not all countries had such an obvious<11> trend.In places like Japan, boys and girls read for enjoyment at an almost identical<12>level, with 54% of boys and 58% of girls reporting that they enjoy reading.And there were a few countries and regions that scored very highly in boys reading enjoyment, for example in Albania, Indonesia, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Shanghai in China and Thailand where at least 80% of boys enjoy reading.Although these positive numbers are matched<13> and passed by girls who reported an even higher level of reading enjoyment(90% or higher).
An interesting area which the PISA study looked at was the types of literature that both girls and boys generally enjoy.There were clear differences in the choices boys and girls make when deciding on what to read.Boys were found to enjoy reading magazines, newspapers and comic<14> books more than girls.Girls were found to be twice as likely to enjoy works of fiction<15> than boys.Unlike reading enjoyment, this pattern was clearly repeated across all countries, especially in terms of boys' reading of magazines and comic books.
While reading in all forms is certainly beneficial<16> and should be encouraged, the low numbers of boys reading for enjoyment and their limited choices when they do, is evidence<17> of an issue<18> that needs to be addressed<19>.Countries need to think about ways to inspire<20> interest for boys in reading and ensure that they are exposed<21> to a wide variety of<22> different types of literature from a young age.②Given that in OECD countries, two in three boys only read newspapers for pleasure proves that there is work to be done.
The PISA study has helped show a clear pattern in genders when it comes to reading.Low levels of interest in or enjoyment of reading can have long term effects on future success in life.For this reason, it is important that governments, teachers and parents all work to identify<23> opportunities and strategies to raise reading proficiency<24> levels.Fortunately, studies such as PISA provide clear evidence that can be acted on to improve outcomes<25> for all young people.

国际学生评估项目(PISA)是由经合组织(OECD)开展的一项针对15岁在校学生在数学、科学和阅读方面学习表现的全球性研究。仔细看看阅读测试,就会发现一个有趣的事实:女孩在阅读方面比男孩表现更好,这与女孩更喜欢阅读有关。
对阅读表现有重大影响的一个关键领域是为了乐趣而阅读,而不仅仅是为了学习或学校作业。有趣的是,PISA研究发现,在所有被评估的国家中(除了韩国),为了乐趣而阅读的女孩比男孩多。研究发现,在所有被评估的国家中,仅略多于50%的男孩(52%)说他们阅读是为了乐趣,但有近四分之三的女孩(73%)都这样认为,这可能会让很多人感到惊讶。
在爱沙尼亚、拉脱维亚、立陶宛和荷兰等国,男孩和女孩之间的差异最为显著,男女之间相差30%甚至更多。此外,在奥地利和列支敦士登等地,男孩对阅读感兴趣的比例非常低(40%或更少),这些数据令人担忧。
然而,并非所有国家都有这样明显的趋势。像日本这样的地方,男孩和女孩为乐趣而阅读的水平几乎相同,54%的男孩和58%的女孩称他们喜欢阅读。有几个国家和地区的男孩在阅读兴趣方面得分很高,例如阿尔巴尼亚、印度尼西亚、哈萨克斯坦、吉尔吉斯斯坦、中国上海和泰国,至少80%的男孩喜欢阅读。然而,与这些正面数字相应的是,(这些国家和地区的)女孩据称有相当甚至更高的阅读乐趣水平(90%或更高)。
PISA研究关注的一个有趣领域是女孩和男孩通常都喜欢阅读的文学类型。在决定读什么书时,男孩和女孩的选择有明显的不同。调查发现,男孩比女孩更喜欢阅读杂志、报纸和漫画书。而女孩喜欢小说的可能性是男孩的两倍。与阅读乐趣不同的是,这种模式在所有国家都明显存在,尤其是在男孩阅读杂志和漫画书方面。
当然,各种形式的阅读都无疑是有益的,而且应该受到鼓励,但是,为乐趣而阅读的男孩数量低以及他们的阅读选择有限证明这是一个需要解决的问题。各国需要想办法激发男孩的阅读兴趣,并确保他们从小就接触到各种不同类型的文学作品。② 考虑到经合组织国家中三分之二的男孩只是为了消遣而读报,这就证明还有工作要做。
国际学生评估项目(PISA)的研究表明在阅读方面有一个明确的性别模式。对阅读不感兴趣或不喜欢阅读会对生活中未来的成功产生长期影响。因此,政府、教师和家长都应努力找出提高阅读熟练程度的机会和策略,这很重要。幸运的是,像PISA这样的研究提供了明确的证据,可以照其采取行动改善所有年轻人的(阅读)成果。
