The program aims to increase the number of American students studying in China by making study abroad more affordable. During the event at Howard, Mrs. Obama spoke about the importance of studying abroad. "Studying in a country like China is about so much more than just improving your own prospects in the global market. The fact is that with every friendship you make and every bond of trust you establish you are shaping an image of America projected to the rest of the world and making America known better." she said. Mrs. Obama encouraged students to set aside the opinion that studying abroad is for "rich kids only" or for those attending "certain schools". The first lady also announced that the Chinese government is giving 10,000 "Bridge Scholarships" to cover costs for American students studying in China. Some students who had studied in China shared their experiences. David Marzban from Pepperdine University recalled a time when he formed a cross-cultural bond with a complete stranger at a restaurant near Fudan University in Shanghai.

"At that time I knew a great friendship had started during my first two weeks in China." Nicole Baden from Howard University recalled how her time in China really helped her master the language. "You have to experience the culture while learning the language to really master it to understand why things are how they are compared to your own culture," Baden said. 12-year-old Sarah Davis, who studied in China last summer, said she was very excited to hear Michelle Obama talk about the country.

Article: When something goes wrong, it can be very satisfying to say, "Well, it's so-and-so's fault." Or "I know I'm late, it's not my fault; the car broke down." It is probably not your fault, but once you form the habit of blaming somebody or something else for a bad situation, you are a loser. You have no power and could do nothing that helps change the situation. However, you can have great power over what happens to you if you stop focusing on whom to blame and start focusing on how to _ the situation. This is the winner's key to success. Winners are great at overcoming problems. For example, if you were late because your car broke down, maybe you need to have your car examined more regularly. Or, you might start to carry along with you the useful phone numbers, so you could call for help when in need, For another example, if your colleague causes you problems on the job for lack of responsibility or ability, find ways of dealing with his irresponsibility or inability rather than simply blame the person . Ask to work with a different person, or don't rely on this person. You should accept that the person is not reliable and find creative ways to work successfully regardless of how your colleague fails to do his job well. This is what being a winner is all about----creatively using your skills and talents so that you are successful no matter what happens. Winners don't have fewer problems in their lives; they have just as many difficult situations to face as anybody else. They are just better at seeing those problems as challenges and opportunities to develop their own talents. So, stop focusing on "Whose fault it is." Once you are confident about your power over bad situations, problems are just the stepping stone for success. Question: When problems occur, winners take them as _ . Yes or no, is the answer "chances for self-development"?
(Answer)
No

Once you're retired, unless you 've already started a hobby, you'll find it very hard to get into something new. Some hobbies aren't for everyone. Think about what you enjoy doing and start participating on a casual basis now. Another thing many people participate in is volunteering.

There are hundreds of different types of volunteer services and you'll always be able to meet new and interesting people.
