He can get familiar with the latest knowledge in science and make use of the best facilities available. In this way, he is able to widen his horizon and broaden his mind.

Of course，attending schools abroad may bring about a series of problems.

As a result，on arriving there，they will find it difficult to understand what the teachers say. Besides，for lack of knowledge of the customs of the local people，they may constantly run into trouble in dealing with various situations.

After moving to the United States, immigrant groups trying to fit in tend to choose high-calorie, fatty foods in an attempt to appear more American, a new study finds. That's one reason why immigrants approach U.S. levels of obesity within 15 years of moving to America.

The researchers also did an experiment that measured whether or not the threat of appearing un-American influenced respondents' food choices．After being questioned about their ability to speak English，75 percent of Asian-Americans identified a typical American food as their favorite. Only 25 percent of Asian-Americans who had not been asked if they spoke English did the same.

When their American identity was called into question during a follow-up study, Asian-American participants also tended to choose typical American dishes, such as hamburgers and grilled cheese sandwiches, over more Asian fare. In that experiment, 55 Asian-Americans were asked to choose a meal from a local Asian or American restaurant. Some participants were told that only Americans could participate in the study. Those who chose the more typical American fare ended up consuming an extra 182 calories, including 12 grams of fat and seven grams of saturated fat(飽和脂肪).

"People who feel like they need to prove they belong in a culture will change their habits in an attempt to fit in," said Sapna Cheryan, an author of the study and assistant professor of psychology at the University of Washington. "If immigrants and their children choose unhealthy American foods over healthier traditional foods across their lives, this process of fitting in could lead to poorer health," Cheryan added.

Social pressures, the study concluded, are at the heart of the problem. "In American society today, being American is associated with being white. Americans who don't fit this image even if they were born here and speak English feel that pressure to prove that they're American," said Cheryan.

1.According to the survey, _____.

A. Asia-Americans care less about their health.

B. 25 percent of Americans like junk food.

C. choosing food is related to Asian-American’s situation

D. immigrants are forced to eat junk food.

2.The underlined word “fare” in Paragraph 3 most probably means “_____”

A. food offered as a meal B. a person taking a taxi

C. money spent on foodD. an arranged thing to do

3.According to Sauna Cheryan, ________.

A. what immigrants have done is ridiculous

B. American traditional foods are healthier

C. immigrants risk their health in order to fit in

D. American culture affects immigrants deeply

4.Which of the following should take the blame for the bad eating habit?

A. The situation of employmentB. The traditional culture

C. The American governmentD. The pressures from society
