More and more parents are willing to send their children abroad to study. If everything goes well, by helping them to enter into world famous universities, parents are helping their children not only to have the best of education as they expect but also to understand and appreciate foreign cultures. Before sending your children abroad, there are many factors (因素) worth considering.
Studying abroad is not as expensive as you think. In fact, prices are not the most important factor in choosing schools especially if you have the chance to send your children in a relatively small university but of good quality. You will find that it is a worthy investment (投资) of your money to send your children to study abroad.
Are you ready to see your only child leave for another country Before the trip it is necessary that you have the correct guidance to prepare your children to have a smooth trip. In addition to studying, your children in foreign land can learn new language and new culture. They will also learn to live on their own and to develop the self confidence, which is good for the forming of their character.
If you have already decided to send your children abroad, then they need the help to find the most suitable schools and courses. The children are still in growing stages. What is important is that the school should be able to provide not only the proper studying courses but it should also take into account the environment and help students to develop their self confidence. Most of all, remember that the parents’ aim is not to find the best school but help their children find the most suitable school. Your needs are not always what your children need.
4．The main purpose of parents sending children abroad to study is to ________.
A．understand a new culture B．improve them in a new language
C．let them have the best education D．raise their social position
5．Compared with big universities, small ones ________.

C
Meeting people from another culture can be difficult. From the beginning, people may send the wrong signal (信号). Or they may pay no attention to signals from another person who is trying to develop a relationship.
Different cultures emphasize (强调) the importance of relationship building to a greater or lesser degree. For example, business in some countries is not possible until there is a relationship of trust. Even with people at work, it is necessary to spend a lot of time in “small talk”, usually over a glass of tea, before they do any job. In many European countries—like the UK or France— people find it easier to build up a lasting working relationship at restaurants or cafes rather than at the office.
Talk and silence may also be different in some cultures. I once made a speech in Thailand. I had expected my speech to be a success and start a lively discussion; instead there was an uncomfortable silence. The people present just stared at me and smiled. After getting to know their ways better, I realized that they thought I was talking too much. In my own culture, we express meaning mainly through words, but people there sometimes feel too many words are unnecessary.
Even within Northern Europe, cultural differences can cause serious problems. Certainly, English and German cultures share similar values; however, Germans prefer to get down to business more quickly. We think that they are rude. In fact, this is just because one culture starts discussions and makes decisions more quickly.
People from different parts of the world have different values, and sometimes these values are quite against each other. However, if we can understand them better, a multicultural environment (多元文化环境) will offer a wonderful chance for us to learn from each other.
8. In some countries, eating together at restaurants may make it easier for people to________.
A. develop closer relations B. share the same culture
C. get to know each other D. keep each other company
9. Why does the author mention his experience in Thailand
A. To show the English prefer to make long speeches.
B. To show too many words are of no use.
C. To show people from Thailand are quiet and shy by nature.
D. To show even talk and silence can be culturally different.
10. According to the text, how can people from different cultures understand each other better
A. By sharing different ways of life. B. By accepting different habits.
C. By recognizing different values. D. By speaking each other’s languages.
11. What would be the best title for the text
A. Multicultural Environment B. Cross-Cultural Differences
C. How to Understand Each Other D. How to Build Up a Relationship
D
There are 195 countries in the world today but almost none of them have purple on their national flags. So what’s wrong with purple It’s such a popular color today. The answer is really quite simple. Purple was just far too expensive.
The color purple has been related to royal power and wealth for centuries. Queen Elizabeth I didn’t allow anyone except close members of the royal family to wear it. Purple’s unique position comes from the rarity and high cost of the dye (染料) used to produce it. The dye was from a small sea snail (海螺) that was only found in the Tyre area of the Mediterranean. Over 10,000 snails were needed to create just one gram of Tyrian purple; not to mention lots of work went into producing the dye, which made purple dye so expensive even for some royal families. Third century Roman Emperor Aurelio wouldn’t allow his wife to buy scarves made from purple silk because it cost three times its weight in gold. A single pound of dye cost three pounds of gold, which equals 56,000 dollars today. Therefore, even the richest countries couldn’t spend that much having purple on their flags.
In 1856, 18-year-old English chemist William Henry Perkin accidentally created a man-made purple dye while attempting to produce an anti-malaria drug. He noticed that it could be used to dye cloth. He patented (获得专利) the dye and mass-produced it. Therefore, everybody could afford it.
Till now, a handful of new national flags have been designed and a few of them have chosen to use purple.
12. Why was the color purple expensive in the past
A. Because only royal families were allowed to wear purple.
B. Because it took a long time to get purple dye from snails.
C. Because purple dye was worth as much as gold.
D. Because purple dye used to be uncommon and hard to produce.
13. How is Paragraph 2 mainly developed
A. By giving numbers. B. By analyzing the effect.
C. By making comparisons. D. By listing examples.
14. What can we infer from the text
A. A single pound of dye cost three pounds of gold.
B. Royal families stopped using purple due to its high price.
C. William Henry Perkin contributes to the popularity of purple.
D. A few new national flags have chosen to use purple.
15. Which of the following is the best title for the text
A. No Purple Flags B. Purple vs. Gold
C. How to Produce Purple Dye D. The Birth of the Color Purple
