【正文】 （英語）英語閱讀理解(教育文化)提高訓(xùn)練一、高中英語閱讀理解教育文化類1．閱讀理解 As is known to all, nowadays many students are interested in studying abroad. Attending schools abroad has many advantages. First, by looking at our own country from outside, we can best see the strong points and weak points of our nation and therefore broaden our minds. Second, while studying in a foreign country, we can travel widely, visiting famous scenic spots and making friends with the local people. Third, we can use the foreign language in our daily life so that our ability in that language may be improved quickly. But the most important is to learn advanced(先進的) science and technology. For all these advantages, it is really worthwhile to go abroad for education. However, as everything has two sides, there are also some disadvantages in attending a foreign university. The most serious problem is the language barrier(障礙). Most of the students who are ready to go abroad do not prepare themselves well for the new language environment. As a result, on arriving there, they will find it difficult to understand what the instructors are saying in class. Besides, for not knowing about the customs and way of life of the local people, they may run into trouble in dealing with various situations. Therefore, misunderstandings often arise. Furthermore, the cost of living is much higher than that in our country, so most students have to find parttime jobs in order to help support themselves. Faced with these difficulties, many students find themselves unable to pay full attention to their studies and some students may even fail in their courses and learn little. Therefore, given an opportunity to attend a school abroad, one must consider the factors carefully before making up his mind. On the one hand, it is a good thing to go and study abroad. But on the other hand, one must not neglect(忽視) the disadvantages.（1）According to the passage, the following are all advantages of studying abroad EXCEPT __________.

Like a border conflict between neighboring countries, the parentteen war is about boundaries: Where is the line between what I control and what you do? Both sides want peace, but neither feels it has any power to stop the conflict. In part, this is because neither is willing to admit any responsibility for starting it. From the parents39。 point of view, the only cause of their fight is their adolescents39。 plete unreasonableness. And of course, the teens see it in exactly the same way, except oppositely. Both feel trapped. In this article, I39。ll describe three nowin situations that monly arise between teens and parents and then suggest some ways out of the trap.

Examples include the color of the teen39。s hair, the cleanness of the bedroom, the preferred style of clothing, the child39。s failure to eat a good breakfast before school, or his tendency to sleep until noon on the weekends. Second, blaming. The goal of a blaming battle is to make the other admit that his bad attitude is the reason why everything goes wrong. Third, needing to be right. It doesn39。t matter what the topic is—politics, the laws of physics, or the proper way to break an egg—the point of these arguments is to prove that you are right and the other person is wrong, for both wish to be considered an authority—someone who actually knows something—and therefore to mand respect. Unfortunately, as long as parents and teens continue to assume that they know more than the other, they39。ll continue to fight these battles forever and never make any real progress.（1）Why does the author pare the parent teen war to a border conflict?
