Dwney's mther spent ne year studying abrad thrugh an internatinal exchange prgram with a French schl.She ften talked abut hw exciting and interesting the experience was.S,even befre finishing high schl,Dwney had decided t fllw suit ne day.
Dwney began studying architecture at Lehigh University in Bethlehem,Pennsylvania in 2004.Near the end f her secnd year,she started t feel unhappy with her schl and decided it was time t study abrad.
and universities cmmnly have jint prgrams with freign schls that permit student exchanges.These prgrams usually last half a schl year r smetimes a whle schl year.The classes students take abrad usually give them credits tward their degree.In a fur year degree prgram,the third year is the mst cmmn time fr American cllege students t study abrad.Many students think they need a change befre what is usually their final and mst difficult year f study.

二、阅读七选五（本大题共5小题，共12.5分）
Glbalizatin has brught different cultures tgether in a way unimaginable ne hundred years ag.Tday,Chinese,Indians,Arabs,Africans,Angls,and Hispanics may all wrk in the same ffices,attend the same schls r live in the same neighbrhds. (1) And ur sciety has lately emphasized（强调）the imprtance f diversity.

"A sacrifice is written ff by a lie and the merit f devtin by an act f cheat." Hindu saying.
(3) These seems t be a srt f cultural unity.

(4) But bth cultures may still value bth.
T us,it seems as if there is sme srt f cde f right and wrng that everyne everywhere seems t understand,regardless f culture.It is almst as if,behind all f the diversity,ne finds a cmmn understanding - a human culture,if yu will - that ges beynd racial,scial,and plitical bundaries. (5)
A.All peple seem t agree that we shuld tell the truth.
B.As cultures meet with each ther,many differences stand ut.
C.Each value supprts many mre sayings frm different cultures.
D.We want t shw,hwever,that there is mre t these cultures than diversity.
E.These sayings frm fur separate cultures all supprt the same value--- hnesty.
F.It is almst as if,despite all ur differences,we are all still the same ---we are just peple.
G.In ther wrds,ne culture may lean mre tward justice and anther culture mre tward mercy.
