‘USA? Britain? Which country is better to study in?’ We often hear such discussions. As China opens its door, it is a dream for many Chinese students to study abroad. They want to learn about the outside world.
It’s true that studying abroad can help students develop themselves in the future. It also can help the students to improve their foreign language skills. But there are problems that should be considered. Language is the first. Students must spend a lot of time learning another language. Students must also learn to live by themselves and face all kinds of things they haven’t had to do before, like looking after themselves. There are reports about Chinese students abroad running into an ocean of difficulties and giving up finally. When they have to take care of themselves, it is hard for students to study well. Finally, studying abroad brings a heavy burden（负担）to the family. For most Chinese parents, they will pay lots of money for their children’s studying abroad. But is it worth it?
We know that there are many famous people who have achieved success through their hard work in China. Liu Xiang is a good example. Once an American teacher invited him there, but he refused. He kept training hard with his Chinese teacher. He surprised the world when he won a gold medal at the Athens Olympic Games. So when you wonder which country is better to study in, think again.

PEOPLE are saying he's the next Yao Ming. But Yi Jianlian, the latest Chinese player to join the NBA, thinks differently. 1. Back in June he said, "I am not going to be the next any one. I am who I am." He also said it doesn't make any sense. He and Yao "play different positions and we are totally different players."
The 2.12-meter forward (前锋) from Shenzhen played his second game for the Milwaukee Bucks (密尔沃基雄鹿队) last Wednesday. His 12 points helped Milwaukee to a 93-88 win over Utah Jazz. In his first outing for Milwaukee he hadn't played well. This time he did much better. 2.
Both Yi and his team agree that he has to get used to life in the NBA. Yi said he had "a lot of bad habits to overcome". 3. But the support the 19-year-old is getting from Milwaukee fans will encourage the young man. Club manager Larry Harris says he's surprised at the excitement Yi's arrival has caused.
It's all a matter of practice. 4. Bucks coach Larry Krystkowiak says Yi is not the typical NBA beginner: "He's played a lot of basketball. He's mature (成熟的)." 5.

Watching some children trying to catch butterflies one hot August afternoon, I 1. of one thing in my own childhood．When I was a boy of 12 in South Carolina, 2. happened to me that I gave up putting any wild animal in a cage forever in my life. We lived on the edge of a wood, and every evening ，the mocking birds （知更鸟）would come and rest in the trees and sing. There isn’t a musical instrument made by man that can make a 3. beautiful sound than the song of the mockingbird.
I decided that I would catch a young bird and keep it in a cage and in that way would have my own 4. musician. I finally succeeded in catching one and put it in a cage. At first, in its fight at being caught, the bird fluttered(拍翅膀) about the cage, but at last it kept calm in its new home. I felt very pleased with 5. and looked forward to the beautiful 6. from my little musician.
I had left the cage out on our back yard, and on the second day my new 7. mother flew to the cage with food in her mouth. The baby bird ate everything she brought to it. I was pleased to see this. 8. the mother knew better than I how to feed her baby.
The following morning when I went to see how the bird was doing, I discovered it on the floor of the cage, dead.
I was quite 9. ! What had happened! I had taken excellent care of my little bird, or so I thought.
Arthur Wayne, the famous ornithologist(鸟类学家), happened to be visiting my father at the time, hearing me crying over the death of my bird, and he gave me an explanation of something that had happened. “A mother mockingbird, finding her young in a cage, will sometimes bring it poison（有毒的） berries. She thinks it better for her young to die than to live in cages.”
Never since then have I caught any living creature (生物) and put it in a cage. All living creatures have a right(权力) 10. .
