Usually it takes university students 3 years to get their degree (学位) in the UK. But language students need 4 years. They usually spend the third year abroad (在国外)?—?they go to a country where the language they are learning is spoken. They can either work or study there. This way they can put into practice what they have learnt in class.
During their year abroad, students get a completely new experience. Many try to find other students to live with and some live with host families (寄宿家庭). They cannot only learn the language, but also come to understand the culture, the people and the traditions of the country.?That?is an important part of language learning.
Ellen Rothnie, a student of French, spent her year abroad in?Paris,?France. She taught English in a language school. “Teaching my own language makes me understand what works and what doesn't in language learning,” Ellen said. “And my students are also my friends. They show me how people speak and live in the country. That's helpful in improving my French.”
The year abroad is great fun but can also be very stressful, because students have to build a life in a new country alone. But once the students settle into (适应) their new way of life, it becomes easier and many would describe their year abroad as one of the greatest experiences of their lives.
(??? ) 6. Language students in a?UK?university usually spend their ______ year abroad.
A. first??????? ? ?B. second????? ?C. third??? ???? ?D. fourth
(??? )7. The underlined word “That” refers to “______”.
A. Learning the language of a country
B. Practising what one has learnt at university
C. Living with a host family in a foreign country
D. Understanding a country's culture, people and traditions
(??? ) 8. While in?Paris, Ellen Rothnie ______.
A. lived with a host family
B. lived with other students
C. studied in a language school
D. worked in a language school
(??? ) 9. Who helped Ellen Rothnie improve her French in?Paris?
A. Her teachers. ? B. Her students.
C. Her classmates.?? ?D. Her host family.
(??? ) 10. The writer may agree that ______.?

B. everyone should learn a foreign language
C. one year abroad is good for language students
D. university students should get more than one degree
