US universities enrolling a new wave of Chinese undergraduates, according to a report. While India was, for eight years on end, the leading country of origin for international students, China is rapidly catching up, spending 98,510 last year, which is a 21 percent increase. In China, the shift has been quite sharp. Last year, China sent 26,275 undergraduates and 57,451 graduate students to the US—compared with 8,034 undergraduates and 50,976 graduate students five years earlier.

Peggy Blumenthal, executive vice president of the Institute of International Education, said the growing share of undergraduates would change the face of the Chinese students’presence in the US. “It used to be that they were all in the graduate science and computer departments, but now, with the one-child policy, more and more Chinese parents are taking their considerable wealth and investing it in that one child getting an Amercian college education,” she said. “There’s a book getting huge play in China right now explaining liberal arts（人文） education.” The book, A Ture Liberal Arts Education, by three Chinese undergraduates in American universities, describes the education available at small liberal arts colleges and the concept of liberal arts, both relatively unknown in China.

“There’s growing disposable（支配）income in China, and not enough good universities to meet the demand, ”Leventhal at the University of Cincinnati said. “And in China, especially, studying in the United States makes a great difference, because when students get home, they speaking English. ”

Although the report tracks only the 2008-09 mumbers, a smaller survey by the institute last month found that over all, the increase in international students seems to be continuing, with China remaining strong. Of all the unversities surveyed this fall, 60 percent reported an increase in Chinese college students, and only 11 percent a decline.

●What prevents depression：tea，coffee or hot chocolate?

Women who drink for or more cups of coffee a day are a fifth less likely to become depressed．Drinking two or three cups reduces the risk by 15 percent. This is the result of a study of 51,000 women over ten years, published in the Journal of the American Medicine Association.

One theory is that caffeine reduces the effect of the chemical adenosine(腺苷) in the brain, which can make us feel sleepy by slowing down nerve cell activity. Some anti-depressants also work by blocking the adenosine receptors. Coffee was found to be far more influential on depression levels than hot chocolate or tea due to the high caffeine content.

●How many eggs can we healthily eat: one a day or two a day?

Neither-eat them freely. We’ve long been warned to stick to two or three eggs a week because of their high cholesterol(膽固醇)content. But according to the Food Standards Agency, there is no recommended limit to how many eggs we can healthily eat, unless you have been told to cut down by your doctor.

There is no evidence that eating eggs raises cholesterol levels, and researchers found that eggs contain less cholesterol than in the past because hens are no longer given bone meal, which was banned in the 1990s after the BSE(瘋牛病) cresis.

Research by the British Egg Council found that a medium egg gives you around 100 mg of cholesterol, a third of the 300mg recommended daily limit.

　 Occasional sleepwalking does not tend to present a problem and most children grow out of it．If it happens every night and causes problems, then sleep disorder specialists suggest that parents spend a week noting the time when sleepwalking tends to happen, and then gently wake the child about fifteen minutes before this time. This will often break the cycle.

　 So what should you do if you find your relative sleepwalking? For a start, they are in such a deep sleep that they will probably not notice you, even if you try to wake them．If you do succeed in walking them, they will become distressed. Everyone has experienced that feeling of confusion when the alarm awakens you from deep sleep, instead of the lighter sleep we are usually experiencing by the time our alarms sound. I once had the shock of being woken by a crash and found myself in the kitchen, standing barefoot and surrounded by broken glass. I’d tried to get a glass of water while sleepwalking, but like most sleepwalkers I failed to turn on the light, and had smashed the glass against the tap.

　 Walking a sleepwalker will not cause them to have a heart attack, but the kindest thing to do is not try to wake them at all. Lead them gently back to bed so that they do not hurt themselves. They will remain deeply asleep, and it is likely that will not remember a thing in the morning.

56．What do the specialists advise the parents to do to avoid their children’s sleepwalking?

　 A．Go to bed with their children at the same time．

　 B．Keep a record of the time when children wake up．

　 C．Take 15 minutes to wake children from sleepwalking．

　 D．Try some time to break the cycle of the sleepwalking．

57．When a sleepwalker is suddenly woken, he is most likely to　 ．

　 A．die from heart attack　 B．do some cooking

　 C．feel lost　 D．become relaxed

58．What should we do to deal with a sleepwalking relative?

　 A．Do nothing but take him back to bed．

　 B．Try every means to wake him at once．

　 C．Leave your relative where he stays．

　 D．Send him to a specialist immediately．

59．What is the best title for the text?

　 A．Sleep Disorder B．Sleepwalking　 C．Sleep Advice D．Sleepwalkers

  Last month I went to visit my old neighborhood．As l walked along the street，my mind was  36 by memories of the past．I saw the 37 apartment building where I had lived and the playground where I had played．As I 38 these once familiar surroundings，39 of myself as a child there came to mind．40，what I saw and what I remembered were not the same．I sadly 4l that the best memories are those 42 untouched．
