九、阅读表达（共3小题，第一小题1分，第二小题2分，第三小题3分，满分6分）

“USA? Britain? Which country is better to study in?” We often hear such discussions. As China opens its door, it is a dream for many Chinese students to study abroad. They want to learn about the outside world.

9

It's true that studying abroad can help students develop themselves. Their foreign language skills will be improved and it may be easier to find jobs.

But there are also some problems. Language is the first. Students must spend a lot of time learning another language. Students must also learn to live without parents' care and deal with all kinds of difficulties. When they have to take care of themselves, it is hard for students to study well. Finally, studying abroad brings a heavy burden (负担) to the family. For most Chinese parents, the cost of studying abroad is very high. We know that there are many famous people who have had success through their hard work in China. So when you wonder which country is better to study in, think again. 87. What’s the first problem if Chinese students study abroad?

____________________________________________________________________________ 88. Why do many Chinese students want to study abroad?

____________________________________________________________________________ 89. Do you want to study abroad? Why or why not?

____________________________________________________________________________
