My decision evoked the immediate objection of my family: Why? Why should I borrow a huge sum of money for overseas study while I might receive the same education at home at a relatively low cost? My answer is: in addition to knowledge, I can gain experiences that those who stay at home will never have. First, experience is the opportunity for the real-life use of foreign languages. While a person can study a foreign language at home, the effect can never be compared with constant use of the language in everyday life. There is no better opportunity to improve second-language skills than living in the country in which it is spoken. Second, living and studying abroad offers me a different perspective of the world. On a university campus, foreign students are likely to come across their counterparts from different countries and areas and are exposed to different ideas and values. This helps me to have a better understanding of different societies and inevitably see my own country in a new light. Third, overseas experience, disappointing and painful as it may be, is helpful. A person going abroad for study often experiences much more difficulty—difficulty in adapting to a new culture and in dealing with all problems alone. Yet, the difficulty, coupled with the frustration brought on by culture shock, is a rewarding experience for one's future life and development of personality. Although going abroad is expensive and perhaps painful, the pay-off is worthwhile. For the benefit is not merely knowledge gained, but the experience desirable in one's personal life. 【词海拾贝】 1．evoke /ɪˈvəuk/　v．唤起；引起 2．relatively /ˈrelətɪvli/ adv.相对地 3．opportunity /ˌɒpəˈtjuːnəti/ n．机会 4．perspective/pəˈspektɪv/ n．观点；看法 5．inevitably /ɪnˈevɪtəbli/ adv.必然地 6．frustration /frʌˈstreɪʃn/ n．懊恼；挫折 7．personality /ˌpɜːsəˈnæləti/ n．个性 8．pay-off /ˈpeɪ ɔːf/ n．回报；报酬 9．benefit /ˈbenɪfɪt/ n．利益；好处 10．desirable /dɪˈzaɪərəbl/ adj.可取的；值得的 Period 1　Reading and Thinking (Ⅰ)　语篇研读课 素养 目标 1.Learn about Xie Lei's experience on an exchange programme in London. 2．Try to have the ability to skim and scan. 3．Learn how to guess the meaning of new words according to the context. 4．Read the passage and try to understand the main idea and the details of the passage. 5．Learn to summarize the main idea of each paragraph and write a summary of the passage in your own words.

This year over twenty-three hundred teenagers (young people aged from 13～19) from all over the world will spend about ten months in US homes. They will attend US schools，meet US teenagers，and form impressions of the real America. At the same time，about thirteen hundred American teenagers will go to other countries to learn new languages and gain a new understanding of the rest of the world. Here is a two-way student exchange in action. Fred，nineteen，spent last year in Germany with George's family. In turn，George's son Mike spent a year in Fred's home in America. Fred，a lively young man，knew little German when he arrived，but after two months' study the language began to come to him. School was completely different from what he had expected—much harder. Students rose respectfully when the teacher entered the room. They took fourteen subjects instead of the six that were usual in the United States. There were almost no outside activities. Family life，too，was different. The father's word was law，and all activities were around the family rather than the individual. Fred found the food too simple at first. Also，he missed having a car. “Back home，you pick up some friends in a car and go out and have a good time. In Germany，you walk，but you soon learn to like it. ” At the same time，in America，Mike，a friendly German boy，was also forming his idea. “I suppose I should criticize American schools, ” he said. “It is far too easy by our level. But I have to say that I like it very much. In Germany we do nothing but study. Here we take part in many outside activities. I think that maybe your schools are better in training for citizens. There ought to be some middle ground between the two. ” 【语篇解读】　本文介绍了一个不同国家青少年参与的交换生活动。通过此活动交换生们可以感受到不同国家之间的文化差异。 1．What's the purpose of the whole exchange program?
