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.

Reading is fun! In addition to reading for fun, though, we can also analyze (分析) texts to learn more from the texts and more about the texts. One way we can do this with story books, passages, or poems is by discovering what the theme is exactly.
The theme of a book is the “big idea” that runs throughout the text, which connects the characters and events. Many times, it is related to what the main character learned over the course of the story. Most of the time, the theme of a book is not written out in the words, you have to use clues in the text to infer it. Themes can be ideas like friendship, bravery, love, honesty or family. The theme might not be able to be said in just one word though. It might be an idea such as, “Be careful what you wish for.” There may also be more than one theme in a story.
To start finding the theme, first you need to make sure you’ve read the whole text. Characters change throughout the story, so what you might think is the theme in the beginning might not be true at the end!
After you read the text, summarize the plot. What important events happened during the story? What was the problem? How was the problem solved? How did the character(s) change? What did the character(s) learn?
Use the answers from those questions to see if you can recognize a pattern (模式). Did a lot of the plot revolve (围绕) around friendship? Did many characters solve problems with their families? Did hard work pay off for the main character? Did the main character learn the importance of fairness?
Once you’ve discovered what the big idea is, go through the text to find evidence that supports this idea throughout the whole text. If there was only one small problem with a character’s family, then ‘family’ might not be the theme of the text. You might find more evidence for friendship or bravery.
Now you are ready to find the theme of books, passages, and poems! Read them now and see if you can discover what the theme is exactly.
【1】What do we know from the passage?
A.The theme is often written out in the words.
B.There are usually more than one theme in a story.
C.We need to read the whole text before we decide the theme.
D.We have to find evidence before we recognize the big idea.
【2】The word “plot” in Paragraph 4 probably means “________”.
A.events in the story
B.a drawn plan
C.a piece of land
D.a secret plan
【3】What is the passage mainly about?
A.What the theme of a text is.
B.How to find the theme of a text.
C.Why to know the theme of a text.
D.Where evidence lies in a text.
27、Libraries give kids a quiet and safe place to read and learn. For over 100 years, libraries have played an important role in Americans’ education. But how are these book – filled buildings changing as time goes by? You may be surprised to find out.
Benjamin Franklin famously founded(创建)America’s first lending library in 1731. But the public library system got its biggest development in the American history in the late 1800s. Businessman Andrew Carnegie donated millions of dollars to help build free public libraries across the country. Between 1886 and 1919, Carnegie’s donations helped build 1, 679 new libraries.
Carnegie believed that libraries could offer the chances to Americans, the young and the old. He knew that the more libraries there were, the more people would have opportunities to read and use books, speeches and news.
If you can easily find a public library in your community(社区), you’ll get more chances. After all, the United States has 9, 225 public libraries. Today, libraries keep growing. Seven tenths of the libraries have free Internet. It provides much more information and opportunities to ask for jobs online.
Libraries are also teaching kids about the fun of reading. The new program Read! Build! Play! adds reading into playtime. As kids listen to a book that is being read aloud, they use Legos(乐高积木)to build images(图像)from the story happily. Today’s libraries are always looking for creative programs to bring people into the library.
Benjamin Franklin once said, “The doors of wisdom(智慧)are never shut.” As long as the doors of public libraries are open, what he said is most certainly correct!
【1】How many public libraries have free Internet in USA now?
A.2, 767.

A.②①③④
B.②③④①
C.③④①②
D.①②③④
【3】The last paragraph mainly tells us ________.
A.libraries have played an important role in Americans’ education
B.public libraries in the US should never close the doors
