A
Two boys walked down a road that led through a field. The younger of the two noticed a farmer working in the field of his farm, his clothes and shoes placed neatly off to the side. The boy looked at his older friend and said,“Let’s hide his shoes so when he comes back from the field,he won’t be able to find them. His expression will be priceless!”The boy laughed. The older of the two boys thought for a moment and said, \man looks poor.See his clothes? Let's do this instead: Let’s hide a dollar in each shoe and then we will hide in these bushes and see how he reacts to that,instead.\
The younger companion agreed to the plan and they placed a dollar in each shoe and hid in the bushes.. It wasn’t long before the farmer came in from the field,tired and worn. He reached down and put on a shoe,immediately feeling the money under his foot.
With the money now between his fingers, he looked around to see who could have put it in his shoe. But no one was there. He held the dollar in his hand and stared at at it in disbelief. He slid the other foot into the other shoe and felt the second. This time, the man was even
more confused when he removed the second dollar from his shoe. He hesitated for a moment.
Thinking he was alone, he dropped onto his knees and offered a verbal prayer that the boys could easily hear from their hiding place. They heard the poor farmer cry in tears of relief and gratitude(感恩). He spoke of his sick wife and his boys in need of food. He expressed gratitude foe this unexpected generosity from unknown hands.
After a time, the boys came out from their hiding place and slowly started their long walk home. They felt good inside, knowing the good they had done to a poor farmer. A smile crept(爬行) across their souls.

Many foreign students report feeling lonely or unwelcome in Australia. Those feelings are among the reasons why Australia is taking a close look at its international education industry. But wherever international students go, making friends may not always be easy. Elisabeth Gareis of Baruch College in New York surveyed 454 international students. They were attending four-year colleges and graduate schools in the American South and Northeast.
Students from English-speaking countries and from northern and central Europe were more likely to be happy with their friendships. But 38% of the international students said they had no close friends in the United States. And half of the students from East Asia said they were unhappy with the number of American friends they had. Thirty percent said they wished their friendship could be deeper and more meaningful.
Professor Gareis says,“Students from East Asia have cultures that are different on many levels from the culture in the United States. There are also language problems, and maybe some social skills, such as small talks, which are possibly not as important in their native countries, where it’s not as important to start friendships with small talks. Many East Asian students blamed themselves for their limited friendship with Americans, for not speaking the language well enough and for not knowing the culture well enough.”
VOA’s Students Union blogger Jessica Stahl did her own survey to find out how American students and foreign students relate to each other. More than 100 students, about half of them American, answered her online questions. Half of the international students and 60% of the Americans said they related as well or better to the other group than to their own group. Professor Gareis says, “International students who make friends with host nationals are, overall , more satisfied with their stay in the host country. They have better language skills, better academic performance and better attitudes toward the host country.” 24.What can be the best title for the text?
A.Making Friends Is Not Always Easy for Foreign Students B.Students from East Asia Are Not Good at Making Friends
C.International Education Industry in Australia and America D.The Relation between Foreign Students and Host Countries 25.Professor Gareis tends to think that .
A.culture shock should be blamed for many levels of American culture B.foreign students don’t know small talks mean a lot to Americans C.foreign students should learn some basic social skills first of all D.foreign students have difficulty making friends for different reasons 26.How did Jessic Stahl carry out her survey? A.By doing questionnaires from Students Union. B.By asking questions on the Internet C.By forming the students into groups D.By doing a survey through VOA
27.Which of the following statements will the writer probably agree with? A.International students like to make more friends in their own group.
B.International students are more likely to remain in the host country after graduation. C.Students who make more friends at home have better academic performance.
D.Students who make friends in their host countries feel happier with their experience.
