Question: I'm taking a test and have to guess the right answer to the question after the article. Article: Colleges may try to do a lot to prepare students for study abroad - telling about culture shock, warning about homesickness, recommending books about the country. But when it comes to adjusting to campus life when they return, schools haven't done as much, even though the transition is sometimes almost as difficult. "They can feel disoriented and depressed. They find things are not exactly the way they were when they left," said Antonio Jimenez, director of the Center for International Affairs at California State University Channel Islands in Camarillo, California, US. "They find that people don't care much about their experiences." Some colleges are now rethinking their approach to study abroad, recognizing that students might need almost as much help adjusting to life back home as they did getting ready to leave: students experience a sort of reverse culture shock when they return to the US. They might be troubled by the wealth and waste they see back home or they might feel homesick for their new country and its customs. And when they try to talk about their experiences, people quickly lose interest, especially if they haven't lived abroad themselves. Down the road, they also might find it difficult to translate their time abroad into experience that an employer finds attractive. Some California universities have organized conferences to help students make the most of their time abroad. During a one-day event, students learn how to adjust after living abroad, talk about their experiences and incorporate them into their lives and future careers. Blythe Cherney, 22, a senior who has studied in Thailand and Britain, found the _ helpful. "Any experience abroad does have an effect on you," Cherney said. "When you come back, it's important to talk about it, especially with people who know what you've been through." Yet most universities focus more on preparation than reorientation. When students return, they might have a welcome home reception. But for the most part, universities figure students can fend for themselves. Question: What is the passage mainly about? Options: A: Overseas students experience culture shock in foreign countries. B: Some universities offer to help students in need. C: Returned students find it difficult to translate their time abroad into experience. D: Returning from studying overseas, students face more trouble than they expected.
Answer: D

Question: I'm taking a test and have to guess the right answer to the question after the article. Article: Wendy Gallegos writes "concer" on the board. One of her students raises her hand. "Ms. Gallegos, you should have written 'conocer' instead," she said, referring to the Spanish verb for "to know." Gallegos looks at the board, smiles and quickly erases her mistake. "You see, I have taught you so well, you pick up on my mistakes," she said with a laugh. To Gallegos, the scene in her classroom is typical of the children she teaches. Gallegos teaches high school Spanish. She became part of their lives and families for three years. She is willing to help her children succeed. After a couple of years, Gallegos' class becomes like home. Gallegos' Spanish class is taught mostly in English in sixth grade. By the time the students are eighth-graders, they are speaking fewer words of English and more of Spanish during the 50-minute classes. "My goal is to get my kids to say something in Spanish every day," she said, "I want them to be able to talk to me. That's why I help them, I praise them, I recognize them when they do good work. And we have fun. _ .'' If a student needs help, Gallegos offers the student a "lifesaver," which is help from a classmate. The lifesaver gets a piece of candy as a reward. As the students said: "Gallegos' class is anything but boring." It is because of Gallegos' efforts and determination that she is the teacher who they think is most deserving of one of Collier County's Golden Apple Awards. "I don't teach a subject, I teach kids. This is what I was born to do," Gallegos said. Question: What would be the best title for the passage? Options: A: This is what I was born to do B: Golden Apple Awards C: Spanish classes with fun D: How to get along with kids
Answer:
A
