How often do you change your hairstyle or ask for new dresses? You may try to follow trends in Western countries,but your peers(同龄人)in the United States don't care as much about fashion(时尚)as you do.
A recent survey among high school students in China,Japan,South Korea and the US found that Asian teenagers care more about their looks than young people in the US.
This survey was held in 156 high schools in the four countries. More than 7,000 teenagers were questioned about their view on life and the world.
South Koreans, at 83 percent, cared most about their appearance. They were followed by the Chinese and Japanese while US students showed the least interest in fashion at only 33 percent.
“The different results show differences of cultural background,” said Sun Yunxiao from the China Youth and Children Research Centre.
He explained that in the US there are many different standards of beauty, so teens are more likely to be confident about their appearance.
US teenagers’ high self-confidence is showed in survey. About 85 percent are happy with themselves. The percentage of self-confident Chinese students stands at only 30 percent.
Strong ambition( 雄心) is seen in Chinese high schools. Only two in five high school students are satisfied with “an average living”. Koreans are next at 48 percent,Japanese come in at 66 percent and Americans are at 71.

The American newspaper has been around for about three hundred years. In 1721, the printer James Franklin, Benjamin’s older brother, started the New England Courant, and that was what we might recognize today as a real newspaper. He filled his paper with stories of adventure, articles on art, on famous people, and on all sorts of political subjects.
Three centuries after the appearance of Franklin’s Courant, few believe that newspapers in their present printed from will remain alive for long. Newspaper companies are losing advertisers(广告商),readers, market value, and in some cases, their sense of purpose at a speed that would not have been imaginable just several years ago. The chief editor(主编) of the Times said recently, “At places where they gather, editors ask one another, ‘How are you?’, as if they have just come out of the hospital or a lost law case.” An article about the newspaper appeared on the website of the Guandian, under the headline “NOT DEAD YET.”
Perhaps not, but the rise of the Internet, which has made the daily newspaper look slow and out of step with the world, has brought about a real sense of death. Some American newspapers have lost 42% of their market value in the past three years. The New York Times Company has seen its stock(股票) drop by 54% since the end of 2004, with much of the loss coming in the past year. A manager at Deutsche Bank suggested that stock-holders sell off their Times stock. The Washington Post Company has prevented the trouble only by changing part of its business to education; its testing and test-preparation service now brings in at least half the company’s income.
【小题1】What can we learn about the New England Courant?
A.It is mainly about the stock market. |
B.It marks the beginning of the American newspaper. |
C.It remains a successful newspaper in America. |
D.It carries articles by political leaders. |
A.They often accept readers’ suggestions. |
B.They care a lot about each other’s health. |
C.They stop doing business with advertisers. |
D.They face great difficulties in their business. |
A.The Washington Post. |
B.The Guardian. |
C.The New York Times. |
D.New England Courant. |
A.Satisfied. |
B.Hopeful. |
C.Worried. |
D.Surprised. |

We continue our Foreign Student Series on higher education in the United States. Now you move on to college life once you are admitted to a school. The first thing you need to value is a place to live. Housing policies differ from school to school. Students might have to live in a dormitory, at least for the first year there.
Dorms come in all sizes. Some have suites. Six or more students may live in one suite. Other dorms have many rooms along a common hallway, usually with two students in each room . Many students say dormitories provide the best chance to get to know other students. Also, dorms generally cost less than apartments or other housing not owned by the school
Most colleges and universities offer single-sex dorms, but usually males and females live in the same building. They might live on the same floors and share the same common bathrooms. They may live in the same room only if they are married.
Edward Spencer is the associate vice president for student affairs at Virginia Tech in Blacksburg. He says it is important to understand the rules of the building in which you will live. He advises students to ask questions before they decide about their housing. For example, if a student requires a special diet, will the school provide it ? How much privacy can a student expect ? Will the school provide a single room if a student requests one ? And what about any other special needs that a student might have?
Virginia Tech, for example, had a ban against candles in dorms . But it changed that policy to let students light up candles for religious purposes. The university also has several dorms open all year so foreign students have a place to stay during vacation time.
60. Why do some students in the U.S. choose to live in dorms, according to the passage ?
A. Dorms allow students in the U.S. choose to live in dorms
B. Dorms are safer for students to live in most cases
C. Dorms offer the chance to meet other people and are cheap as well
D. In most schools students are required to live in the dorms
61. The second paragraph is mainly about ______
A. what suites in American schools are like
B. what dorms in American schools are like
C. what dorms are owned by schools
D. when people get to know each other
62. We can infer from what Edward Spencer says that ______
A. colleges usually don’t provide a special diet
B. housing rules differ from one building to another
C. a ban against candles in dorms is necessary
D. the U.S. college always satisfies students’ requests
63 .What is the passage mainly about ?
A. Places to live in U.S. colleges
B. housing polices in the U.S
