Top 10 Reasons for African American Students to Go Abroad Before going abroad, I was an armchair traveler. I sat at my desk semester after semester doing my job as an international student adviser. I was fascinated by all the students I met, but I was most impressed with the commitment of the Jamaican teachers. For the first time in their lives they were a minority in another country. Yet they never stopped pursuing their educational goals. Against the odds, year after year, they came and went, each with that prized possession: a bachelors or masters degree in education. I wondered what enabled them to be so confident in their ability to succeed in the U.S. Over the years, it became apparent to me that no one had told them that they could not be successful. Study abroad was the ultimate means to achieve the best possible education. The students I advised became my role models. They are also the model I put before all African American students. At the urging of minority advocacy (主张，提倡) groups, like Black and Multicultural Professionals in International Education (B/MCPIE), Black Professionals in International Affairs (BPIA), and the United Negro College Fund, many student exchange organizations have established scholarships and special projects to promote diversity in study abroad. Dealing with the Myths Since African American students form the largest ethnic group in U. S. higher education, it is important to understand the myths associated with study abroad that have limited their participation in student exchange programs and replace them with positive reasons to go abroad. The present generation of African American students will have to work through these myths and overcome racial prejudice in order to achieve their educational objectives abroad. The number one myth is that the education abroad experience is not for Black students, especially in the traditional European study sites. The assumption is that European racism is so overwhelming that Black students would be better off remaining in their own country, where they understand the politics of racism and can make the necessary adjustments. Black students who travel abroad are in fact shocked when they are treated as Americans first and as intelligent students who have earned the right to be studying in the host country. African American students should not fear traveling abroad because of racism. In my own travels through Europe, I have found the African community in every major city. I was delighted to find that others have already paved the way for African Americans to follow. We can learn much from the African and Caribbean communities in London, Paris, Amsterdam, and beyond. Now is the time to go: With the internationalization of the American economy, it is imperative that African American students acquire more knowledge of and sensitivity to global issues. This knowledge and experience will enable them to participate fully in a future workforce that will be ethnically and culturally diverse. My challenge to every African American student pursuing a degree is to begin immediately to chart a new course for the future. Visit your study abroad adviser for guidance. Do it now. It really doesnt matter where you go. What matters is that you go. Go with the knowledge that someone like you has been there before. In fact, check the travel itinerary of your favorite artists: you might just see them in concert while you are abroad. Top l0 Reasons to Study Abroad 1. Expand employment opportunities. According to the Spring 1998 edition of the Black Collegian, www. black-collegian, com, which highlights job opportunities for the class of 1998, the job outlook reflects the growing importance of internationalization. The top 10 employers are seeking graduates who can think critically and also have a global perspective. 2. Increase your understanding of the world and our society. We can no longer afford to rely on CNN to tell us what we should know about the world. Changing demographics in the U. S. dictate that we must not only acquire a global competence but we must develop an understanding and an appreciation of diversity in our own country. While study abroad can be a vital link to global competence, it is also an integral part of multicultural competence. (In Understanding Diversity Channing Betes writes: For centuries, American education, business and government have reflected the culture of the vast majority: white people of European descent. In the early 21st century, however, we will see big changes: Out of every 100 children in American classrooms, 33 will be children of color. ) 3. Broaden your experience. Travel outside the U.S. is an education in itself. 4. Meet people from different backgrounds and cultures. A period of study outside the U. S. enables you to meet students not only from the host country but other nations as well. It is an opportunity to forge international friendships, understand cultural differences, and get rid of old stereotypes. 5. Increase your income potential. Study abroad on your resume definitely gives you a competitive edge. Black Enterprise recently highlighted the importance of the African American presence in the global marketplace and the numerous career and business options for African Americans who set their sights on the big emerging markets (BEMs). 6. Explore new interests. One student went to Mexico to learn the language and have fun. In addition to a Spanish course, she enrolled in modern dance and ballet. At the end of the day, the professor suggested she remain in Mexico and join his dance troupe (剧团). After graduating, she opted to continue to see the world and signed up for Bunacs Work in Britain program. 7. Learn specific skills that are career related. Learn a second language or do an international internship. 8. Gain new insights and outlooks while enjoying new relationships. By living in the country, you get an insiders perspective on the social and political structure of your host country. 9. Take control of your future. While the debate still continues on the preservation of affirmative action, you will be in a position to compete and fully participate in a global, ethnically diverse workforce. 10. Find out what you want to do in life. While taking a semester off from your regular studies may seem a luxury, it is indeed a wonderful opportunity to redefine your career aspirations in the context of your new self-awareness and newly acquired skills. Many students report that study abroad can be a life-changing experience that can also open many new career choices.2. What about the Jamaican teachers impressed the author most?

B) She thinks a double major would be more valued. C) She thinks the man should take a major and a minor instead. D) She thinks the man should consider the matter seriously.这道题您没有回答 【回答错误】答案:C听力原文M：If I take a double major, it would save me from taking a second degree.W: Hmm, thats true. But people dont realize that a major and a minor are just as good as a double major.Q: What does the woman suggest? 解析 这是个非典型形式的建议题，建议是一句看似很平常的陈述句。男士设想自己如果选两个专业，就不用再多学一个学位了。女士则轻描淡写地指出人们没有意识到主修一个专业辅修一个专业和修两个一样有价值。其实是建议男士选一个主修一个辅修。本题要求学生熟悉学位、主修和辅修的英语表达。 13. A) The stationery store has closed down. B) The stationery store is closed. C) The shop assistants have all left at that moment. D) The shop assistants of the store have gone for a long time.这道题您没有回答 【回答错误】答案:A听力原文W: I cant find the stationery store on the road. Should I call them?M: Save your breath, Jane. They are long gone.Q: What does the man mean? 解析 be gone“消失了”，在这个对话里应该理解为“关门倒闭了”。另外第一人问是不是应该给文具店打电话时，第二人说的“save your breath”(别白费力了、省口气吧)也从侧面说明call them已经没有必要了。be gone的最相近释义应是close down，此题选A。B close只表示“不营业”，没有关门倒闭的意思，C、D意思相近，都是对原对话的误解。 14. A) She is full. B) The cup is already full. C) She would be impolite to accept another. D) She thinks she would be foolish to refuse since its delicious.这道题您没有回答 【回答错误】答案:A听力原文M: Another cup of coffee? Theres plenty in the pot.W: Id be orerdoing it if I had one more.Q: What does the woman mean? 解析 本题重点在女士的答话上，“Id be overdoing it if I had one more.”用了虚拟语气，意思是我要是再来一杯就喝得过多了。overdo是“过度、过火”的意思，在这里指喝得过多。女士这样说暗示自己已经喝得很多(she is full)，不能再喝了。 15. A) He has other plans for the evening. B) He is looking forward to attending the party. C) He often misses Lindas parties. D) He wants to know if he should bring anything to Lindas Party.这道题您没有回答 【回答错误】答案:B听力原文W: Are you going to Lindas party tonight?M: Are you kidding? I wouldnt miss it for anything.Q: What does the man mean? 解析 “I wouldnt miss it for anything.”表明说话人一定要参加的坚决态度，只有选项B能反映男士的态度。 16. A) It is very popular. B) They are selling it second-hand. C) It is about food-making. D) They II try to improve it soon.这道题您没有回答 【回答错误】答案:A听力原文M: The books been selling like hot cakes since it was launched three weeks ago.W: I understand theyll be running a second print soon.Q: What can be inferred about the book? 解析 sell like hot cakes是个习语，意指非常受欢迎。女士的话theyll be running a second print意思是这本书会再次印刷，从侧面证明此书的畅销。语音播放 语音下载 17.

I meant to, but I was SO busy that it slipped my mind.Q: What does the man mean? 解析 slip ones mind的意思是“忘记了”，男士本打算告诉女士课被取消的事的，结果因为太忙忘记了。A的释义正确，B是说男士忙得抽不出时间告诉女士，错误；C与事实不符；D对slip my mind的理解错误。 18. A) Karen is kind to people. B) Karen receives lots of gold. C) Karen moved away after thinking. D) Karen sent the woman gold as a gift.这道题您没有回答 【回答错误】答案:A听力原文W: Wow, I am so moved to receive such a thoughtful gift from Karen.M: Yeah, she really has a heart of gold.Q: What can be inferred about Karen? 解析 短语have a heart of gold相当于汉语里“有一颗金子般的心”这种表达，指某人心地非常善良，且根据对话的上下文得知Karen送给女士一份考虑得非常周到的礼物，男士称赞她she has a heart of gold，选项中A的意思与此对应。 19. A) At 10:30. B) At 10:20. C) At 11:15. D) At 10:45.这道题您没有回答 【回答错误】答案:C听力原文M: So, when are the other guys going to get here? The flight is taking off in 45 minutes. Theyll stop boarding in 5 minutes.W: Its 10:30 already. They were supposed to be here ten minutes ago. I told everybody when to meet here.Q: When is the plane taking off? 解析 此题需做简单运算，由男士的话可知飞机再过45分钟就要起飞了，而且再过5分钟就停止检票了。由女士的话可知现在是10:30，那些人应该10分钟前就到的。这些数字中5分钟和10分钟都是干扰信息，可以不管。利用剩下两个数字信息进行一下运算可知飞机起飞的时间应该是11:15。 Questions 19 to 22 are based on the conversation you have just heard.语音播放 语音下载 20.
