    A new report says more and more international students are attending colleges and universities in the United States. It also notes a large increase in the number of international students from China.

    These findings are from the latest Open Doors Report. The report documents the record number of international students in the United States during 2012, 2013 school year. It says more than seven hundred sixty-four thousand four-hundred such students were attending American colleges and universities during the last two years. That represents an increase of almost six percent than one year earlier. On the other hand, the number of Americans studying overseas(海外) increased by one percent, which reached nineteen thousand this year.

    The report says one hundred ninety-four thousand students at American colleges and universities were from China .That is an increase of more than twenty-three percent over the year before. Peggy Blumenthal, an expert（专家）of international education, described the effect of the increase in Chinesestudents.

    "Now they have been coming for some time. But this year was the highest level ever." She says many Chinese families are able to pay for the highest-quality education for their children. The children mainly choose to study in America.

    "We know many of them have enough income to be able to afford to send them anywhere in the world if they want to go. And for the most part, looking around the world, Chinese students still prefer to come to the United States as their choice."

    Chinese students are not the only ones who want to attend American colleges and universities. After China, India sends the second largest number of students to the United States for higher education. India has about one hundred thousand students in American schools. South Korea is third with about seventy-two thousand students.

    Why do so many foreign students study in the United States? Peggy Blumenthal provides one reason.

    "The advantage America has is that we have a huge system (系统)and a very perfect system. So there are over four thousand universities and colleges in the United States. Among them are some top ones in the world, and what that tells us is there is still a lot of room to host international students.

    Foreign students represent less than four percent of the total student population in American higher education. And from Learning English, that's the VOA Special English Education Report. I'm Bob Doughty. Thanks for listening.

      ①街路划一条漂亮的弧线，探进公园深处。公园绿意盈盈，却有桃红粉红轻轻将绿意打破。柳絮纷飞，落满松软的一地。鸽子们悠闲地散步，孩子们快乐地追逐，空气里弥漫着沁人心脾的花香。春天属于山野，属于城市，属于公园里每一朵勇敢开放的丑丑的小花。
      ②公园的小径上走着一位女孩。女孩的棍子畏畏缩缩，慌乱且毫无章法。棍子戳戳点点，碰到了毫无防备的老人。
      ③老人轻微地“嘘”了一声。
      ④“对不起，”女孩急忙停下来，“对不起……戳痛你了吧……真的对不起，我是一个盲人……”
      ⑤“没关系的，”老人轻轻地笑，“我知道，你只是有些不便。”
      ⑥“只是有些不便？”女孩的神情霎时黯淡下来，“可是我看不见了，永远看不见了……就像现在，每个人都可以在这里欣赏春色，我却不能……”
      ⑦“可是孩子，春色只是为了给人看吗？春天里的一花一草，只是为给人欣赏而存在的吗？
      ⑧“难道不是吗？"
      ⑨“当然不是。”老人说，“比如我面前就有一朵花。这朵花很小，淡蓝色，五个花辩。也许它本该六个花瓣吧？那一个，可能被蚂蚁们吃掉了……花瓣接近透明，里面是鹅黄色的花蕊……我可以看得见莲朵花，然而你看不到。可是这朵花会因为你看不见它而开得松懈吗？还有那些有残缺的花儿，比如被虫儿吃掉花瓣，啃了骨朵，比如被风雨所折断，被石块所挤压；它们可曾因为自身的残缺和大自然给予它们的不公就拒绝开放吗？”
      ⑩“孩子，你要知道，当秋天来临，所有春天开过的花儿，都会结成种子。就像我眼前的这朵小花，它也会结-出它的种子……这与它的卑小无关……更与它的残缺无关……它是一朵勇敢的花儿，勇敢的花儿都是快乐和幸福的。．”
      ⑪“花儿就像你，你就是花儿……为什么闷闷不乐呢？为什么要放弃开放的机会呢？为什么要放弃整个春天呢？”
      ⑫“我没有放弃春天……可是我看不到春天……”
      ⑬“你可以去触摸春天。孩子，你可以触摸花草，触摸鸽子，触摸阳光与柳絮……其实盲人也是可以看到这世界的，却不是用眼睛，而是用心，用感觉，甚至，用爱……”
      ⑭“您是说，用爱吗？”
      ⑮“是的，孩子。只有用爱才能真正感受春天，读懂春天。我知道你看不见春天，可是你的心里，难道不能拥有一个温暖而美好的春天吗？只要你还相信春天，那么对你来说，这世上就还有春天，你的心中就会万紫千红。我说得对吗，孩子？”
      ⑯“可是我不知道这里的春天是什么样子的。奶奶，你愿意把你看到的告诉我吗?”
      ⑰“当然可以，孩子，我很乐意……你的面前有一朵花， 蓝色的花儿,五个花瓣……你的旁边有一棵树，树长出_了嫩绿色的叶子……再旁边有一个草坪，碧绿的草坪，有人在浇灌……再往前，是一条卵石甬道，鸽子们飞过来，轻轻啄着人们的手心……”
      ⑱女孩听得很是痴迷。她的表情随着老人的讲述而变化，每一种变化，都是天真和幸福的。似乎，女孩真的看到了整个春天。
      ⑲女孩是笑着离开的。她的棍子在甬路上敲打出清脆的声音。她步履轻松。她像春的精灵。
      ⑳然后，老人轻轻拍拍身边的导盲犬。她说：“虎子，我们该回家了。”她戴着很大的墨镜，悄无声息地走向春的深处……
