However, you guys might agree with me: its not easy to leave home and the security of family, friends and people who love and care about us. And doing it raises some questions: Is
22、it worth it? Are you equal to the challenge? You might be sitting in front of your computer watching a documentary about America, which shows you the breathtaking views of skyscrapers in New York, the beautiful warm weather in San Diego, and the huge parties along the beaches of the Sunshine State,
23、Florida. Just as you know, its all true. I remember how my heart was racing the first time I visited Times Square in New York. I cant find any words in the dictionary to describe how I felt at that moment. Someday, when you get lucky and go there, you will know what I mean. Unfortunately, TV and mov
24、ies never show the other side of what students must do to survive America. Education in the States is really different from other places. Yes, there is the traditional A, B, C, and D grading system, and you get to be on the Deans List if you have all As on your transcript. However, these grades dont
25、 just come from your test performances. The requirements of classes in the US are much more varied and this is the biggest adjustment that overseas students have to manage. Some have papers that you have to write every week; others have group projects you must do with your classmates, presentations
26、you make in the class, or research you do by yourself to prove your own idea. There comes a night when you have a couple of projects for different classes, a paper, and an exam to study for. And that night you ask yourself, “What did I get myself into？” Im not trying to intimidate you, but you shoul
27、d know what it really is like to study in the States. One thing I can promise you is that it is worth all the hard work you put in.

CIf you see a group of people dancing and singing on the street or in the railway station, you dont need to feel surprised. They are a flash mob (暴
31、民). Who are they? Are they mobs? Dont be confused by their name. Actually, a flash mob is a group of people who gather suddenly in a public place, do something unusual for a brief period of time, and then quickly disappear.They are usually organized with the help of the Internet or other digital com
32、munications networks. The messages may be sent to friends, who send to more people. At a predetermined time, they gather and perform some activities such as exchanging books, coming together to look at the sky, waving their hands and yelling something at the top of their voice for 30 seconds. Then,
33、they quickly disappear before the police can arrive. Using mobile phones, the flash mob can change its place if the first one has been cancelled for any reason.Bill Wasik, senior editor of Harpers Magazine, organized the first flash mob in Manhattan in May 2003 and the first successful flash mob gat
34、hered on June 3, 2003. Wasik claimed that he created the flash mob as a social experiment designed to laugh at fashion seekers and stress the cultural atmosphere of wanting to be an insider or part of “the next big thing”.Flash mob gatherings can sometimes shock people. Such an activity might seem a
35、musing and magical, but it also might frighten people who are not aware of what is taking place.

People use it to do
36、many things. For example, in 2009, Michael Jacksons fans took part in a flash mob to remember him. Hundreds of his fans gathered singing and dancing Michaels famous song “Beat It” together.

40、s to blame. Because they feel upset at the thought of being seen in public in clothes that are out of fashion, they are always taken advantage of by the designers and the big stores. Clothes which have been worn only a few times have to be put aside because of the change of fashion. When you come to
41、 think of it, only a woman is capable of standing in front of a wardrobe(衣柜) packed full of clothes and announcing sadly that she has nothing to wear.Changing fashions are nothing more than the intentional creation of waste. Many women spend vast sums of money each year to replace clothes that have
42、hardly been worn. Women who cannot afford to throw away clothing in this way, waste hours of their time doing with the dresses they have. Skirts are lengthened or shortened; necklines (领口) are lowered or raised, and so on.No one can claim that the fashion industry contributes anything really importa
43、nt to society. Fashion designers are rarely concerned with vital things like warmth, comfort and durability(耐用). They are only interested in outward appearance and they take advantage of the fact that women will put up with any amount of discomfort, as long as they look right. There can hardly be a
44、man who hasnt at some time in his life smiled at the sight of a woman shaking in a thin dress on a winter day, or picking her way through deep snow in high-heeled shoes (高跟鞋).When comparing men and women in the matter of fashion, the conclusions to be drawn are obvious. Do the constantly changing fa
45、shions of womens clothes reflect basic qualities of inconstancy(反复无常) and instability(不稳定)? Men are too clever to let themselves be cheated by fashion designers. Do their unchanging styles of dress reflect basic qualities of stability and reliability? That is for you to decide.32. Designers and big stores always make money_.A. by mercilessly exploiting women workers in the clothing industryB. because they
