17、 part of our lives, often the mere sharing of recipes with strangers turns them into good friends.Jasmine Heiler “My mom makes the best cooked chicken you will ever taste!“ Sound familiar? How about: “We had a great dinner last night with our family“? Or, maybe this one: “I spent the weekend baking
18、cakes with my grandmother“?Wherever there is food, it seems families are not far behind.

34、reatmentCStudents who want to attend an American university must explain how they will pay for their education. They have to show that they will be able to pay for each year of study. Students have to consider not only the tuition, the cost of classes, but also meals and a place to live in, which is
35、 known as room-and-board. They also need money for books and supplies. And they need money to spend on social activities and other things.Educational advisers say foreign students should have enough money in a local bank to pay for at least two months of expenditure(支出). So how much will a year at a
36、n American school cost? Generally speaking, the answer is: a lot. A leading state university in the Pacific Northwest will serve as an example. The University of Washington says foreign students are paying more than $36,000 this year. This major research university currently has 2,600 foreign studen
37、ts from more than 100 countries. There are many schools that cost less, but also others that cost more. Its web site says the University of Washington does not offer financial assistance to international students. This is generally true of American schools, especially at the undergraduate level.The
38、international application for the university includes a Statement of Financial Responsibility that must be signed. Students must also provide a bank letter or statement from within the past six months. And they have to name someone who will help with payments. These people must send proof from a ban
39、k to show that they have the money. Your government or employer may be able to help you pay all or some of the college costs. A good idea is to ask at least eighteen months before you want to start classes in the United States.Our Foreign Student Services, including links to web sites discussed in o
40、ur reports, can be found at . To learn more about higher education in America, the State Department has a special web site: educationusa.state.gov.46.

45、t the present situation of foreign students in the U.S.DYou may not pay much attention to your daily elevator ride. Many of us use a lift several times during the day without really thinking about it. But Lee Gray, Ph.D., of the University of North Carolina, US, has made it his business to examine t
46、his overlooked form of public transport. He is known as the “Elevator Guy“.“The lift becomes this interesting social space where etiquette(礼仪) is sort of odd(奇怪的),“ Gray told the BBC, “They (elevators) are socially very interesting but often very awkward places.“We walk in and usually turn around to
47、 face the door. If someone else comes in, we may have to move. And here, according to Gray, lift users unthinkingly go through a set pattern of movements. He told the BBC what he had observed.He explained that when you are the only one inside a lift, you can do whatever you wantits your own little box.If there are two of you, you go into different corners, standing diagonally(对角线地) across from each other to create distance.When a third person enters, you will unconsciously form a triangle. And when there is a fourth person it becomes a square, with someone in every corner.
