　　Do you want to travel to cool places, meet foreigners, and learn a foreign language? If you want, consider a study-abroad program. No matter what country you live in, you can learn world trade in Japan, study art in France, or take dancing lessons in Ghana.
　　Besides the excitement of travel, one reason to study abroad is that you will experience new customs, holidays, food, art and music. Andrew was a student who once studied in France. He said, “I learned French and now I can speak French fluently. When I was in France, I learned about cultures, people and myself. I learned a lot from the stand of a native member of the country, not from a tourist’s stand.”
　　Another reason for studying abroad is that you’ll gain self-confidence. Christina studied in Caracas, Venezuela, a city of 10 million people. The city is different from her hometown. Christina said she learned how to express herself in another language. That made her more confident.
　　Living away from home can also help you adjust in the transition to college and adulthood. Matthew said he returned from studying in Australia with confidence and practical knowledge. “After studying abroad in high school, I found the transition to college to be easy. Being 560 miles from home didn’t seem particularly daunting（使人畏缩的） after having lived thousands of miles away.”
　　1. How many reasons for studying abroad are mainly discussed in this text?
　　A. Two.    B. Three.
　　C. Four.    D. Five.
　　2. The example of Andrew is used to show that _______.
　　A. you can study art in France
　　B. you can learn French when travelling
　　C. you may have more chances to talk with foreigners
　　D. you can experience local cultures
　　3. What’s the purpose of this article?
