Question

【题目】阅读下文并回答问题。

Have you or your friends ever talked about studying abroad ? It’s becoming a common topic of discussion in China . More students are studying abroad than ever before .

Last year , 662,100 Chinese went abroad to study , an increase of 8.83percent from 2017, according to the Ministry of Education . For parents who send their children abroad to study ,43percent of them hold regular jobs. With rapid economic(经济的) growth and rising income levels(收入水平), China’s people have more chances to expand(扩大)their horizons(眼界) and life experiences .

Seventy years ago, however , the picture was different . Thousands of students and science and technology experts had to compete with each other to win a chance to study abroad. It was a valuable and unusual experience for people back then.

In 1984, Wang Huiyao , who later founded a non-governmental think tank (智库) that focuses on Chinese public policy and globalization (全球化), went to study at the University of Windsor in Canada . He found that while Chinese people knew little about the outside world , Westerners also knew little about Chinese people . “They even asked to touch my head to see if anything was different,” he said.

But today , there are fewer of these misunderstandings(误解) . With more exchange programs, Chinese students get more chances to share their life stories with people from different cultures. Ma Ying , a 15-year-old Beijinger , took a short 7-day study trip to the UK, she decided to stay and study in the country .

“I talked to my parents , and they supported my choice . I’m happy to study more English, understand their humor, and gradually (逐渐）blend in (融入) with the local lifestyle .” She said.
