Nobody likes staying at home on holiday, especially(特别)if the weather is fine. Last August we decided to spend the day in the country.

We moved out of the city slowly behind a long line of cars, but at last we came to a quiet country road and, after some time, stopped at a lonely farm. We had brought plenty(足量)of food with us and we got it out of the car. Now everything was ready, so we sat down near a path at the foot of a hill.. It was very peaceful(宁静)in the cool grass----until we heard bells ringing at the top of the hill. What we saw made us pick up our things and run back to the car as quickly as it was possible. There were about two hundred sheep coming towards us down the path.

A warm, dusty wind was blowing over from the south. Where it stopped, it left a thin layer of fine African sand. Clive stood with Dick, a racing driver, in the ship, watching the cars being taken from the land. Some of the cars were already in the ship.
"I hope this wind will have changed by the time we get there," the driver said, staring at the grey sky. "These conditions wouldn't be good for racing."
"Don't worry," Clive said with a smile. "It'll hardly trouble us, since Argentina(阿根廷) is about 7,000 miles away."
Surprise came over the driver's face. "Is that so? We should leave it behind then, shouldn't we?"
They talked for a while about the country. Clive was going there on business, but Dick was to take part in a motor-race, It was his first event outside Europe. He mentioned the date of the race--December 30, and added, "I've never raced in cold winter before."
Dick said he was an engineer, and Clive thought he must have had a good education. However, something seemed to have gone wrong--or was different these days. The young man had no map in his mind. He had plans to race in South Africa and in Japan. To him, they were places on the earth, and probably that was all. Clive was interested because the man seemed cheerfully unconscious(未发觉的) of his lack of knowledge. What was worse, he even thought everyone else was just as foolish.
Dust blew into their faces. To the young man, it might have been the same as a wind from China. Were there many people, he wondered, who did not know where they were going, or even where they were?

C
In 1990 one American in seven spoke a language other than English at home.
The number of Chinese-speakers doubled (加倍) in that time, white Italian, and French are heard less often in the nation's living rooms.
This gives the fact that in the last 15 years fewer and fewer Europeans have immigrated (迁移) to America. Asians form one of the biggest new immigrant groups in the U.S.
Spanish is still the most-used language in America after English. There are 17 million Spanish speakers.
French, German, Italian and Chinese follow, with between one million and two million speaking each.
More than three million Americans speak East Asian languages. The number has doubled that in 1980. Nearly a third of them say they speak English poorly or not at all.

As we can see from the chart，China's higher education is developing quickly．There were only about one million college students when New China was born in 1949，while the number reached 4．5million in 2002．
Several factors have contributed to the development of China's higher education．First，China's rapid economic development，especially during the twenty years of reform and opening up，has laid a sound foundation．Second，the Chinese government has been trying hard to encourage the development of higher education．One of the measures taken was to increase college enrollment starting from 1999．Third，most people have begun to realize the importance of higher education．
