   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(先进的) 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(障碍). 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 foten arise. Furthermore, the cost of living is much higher than that in our country, so most students have to find part-time 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(忽视) the disadvantages.

【小题1】According to the passage, the following are all advantages of studying abroad EXCEPT __________.
A.having more chances to get good jobs
B.improving foreign language ability quickly
C.visiting well-known places of interest
D.learning very modern science and technology
【小题2】The underlined word "instructors" in Paragraph 3 is closest in meaning to "__________".
A.neighborsB.teachers
C.strangersD.classmates
【小题3】According to the passage, why do some students find part-time jobs?
A.Because they want to learn more skills in a different country.
B.Because they want to make full use of their time.
C.Because they are not interested in studying.
D.Because they have to support themselves.
【小题4】The passage mainly tells us that __________.
A.studying abroad is a good way to learn more
B.everything has two sides
C.people should think twice before going abroad
D.going abroad has more advantages than disadvantages
