Have you ever dreamed of traveling to cool places, meeting lots of different people, and maybe picking up a language or two? No matter which country you live in, you can fly over the world’s highest waterfalls in Venezuela, learn world trade in Japan, study art in France, or take dancing lessons in Ghana.
But how? Join a study abroad program, where high school and college students live with a host family in a foreign country. Here are some students who have already joined the study abroad programs.
“I learned the language and am now fluent, but perhaps more important was how much I learned about cultures, people, and myself. I learned this from the viewpoint of an active member of the community and my host family, not from the tourist’s point of view,” says Andrew, who studied in France.
Christina studied in Caracas, Venezuela, a city of 10 million people and a huge change from her hometown of 35,000! Christina says she learned how to better stand up for herself and her beliefs and to express herself in another language. “What could make you more confident than that? Studying abroad have made me gain great self-confidence,” Christina added.
Living away from home can also help you in the transition (过渡) to college and adulthood. Matthew says he returned from studying in Australia with confidence and an interest in international affairs that really set him apart from his peers. Most of all, it’s fun! While you are studying in a different learning environment, you will experience different kinds of cultures, customs and people!

We have dreams almost every night. Do you ever notice the colors of your dreams? Do you dream in black and white or do you dream in yellow, red and green?
New research suggests that the type of television you watched as a child has a great effect on the color of your dreams.
While almost all people under 25 dream in color, thousands of people over 55, all of whom were brought up with black and white TV sets, often dream in monochrome(黑白画面)。
“It suggests there could be a critical period in our childhood when watching films has a big impact on the way dreams are formed”, said Eva Murzyn, a psychology student at Dundee University in Britain who carried out the study.
Research from 1915 through the 1950s suggested that the vast majority of dreams are in black and white. But the tide(潮流) turned in the sixties, and later results suggested that up to 83 percent of dreams contain some color.
Since this period also marked the transition(过渡) between black-and-white film and TV and Technicolor(印染法彩色)，an obvious explanation was that the media had been painting people’s dreams. However, there weren’t any firm conclusions.
But now Miss Murzyn believes she has proven the link. She made a survey of more than 60 people, half of whom were over 55 and half of whom were under 25.
She asked the volunteers to answer a questionnaire on the color of their dreams and their childhood exposure to film and TV.
She then analyzed her own data. Only 4.4 percent of the under-25s’ dreams were black and white. The over-55s who had had access to color TV and film during their childhood also reported a very low proportion of just 7.3 percent.
But the over-55s who only had access to black-and –white media reported dreaming in black and white about a quarter of the time.
Even though they would have spent only a few hours a day watching TV or films, their attention and emotion would have been heightened during this time, leaving a deeper imprint on their mind, Miss Murzyn told the New Scientist.
“The crucial time is between three and ten when we all begin to have the ability to dream”, she said.
1.What’s the main idea of the passage?
A. The relationship between dream color and the age of the people.
B. The relationship between people’s dreams and colors that they see in their life.
C. The relationship between dreams and types of television and films that people watch.
D. The relationship between dream color and types of television and films people watch.
2. From the text, we can see that ___________.
A. all people who are below 25 dream in color
B. people over 55 always dream in monochrome
C. watching TV or films probably affects dream color
D. people begin to dream when they are 10 years old
3.Which is WRONG according to the passage?
A. Miss Murzyn thought she has proved the connection between dream color and TV and films.
B. Eva Murzyn is a professor at Dundee University in Britain.
C. The period between 3 and 10 is an important time in forming dreams.
D. The 1960s was a time which marked a transition in dream color.
4. In which magazine can you find the article?
A. New Scientist B. Psychology Analysis
