Each year, thousands of Chinese middle school students go to study in foreign countries. Recent research shows among 428 middle school students in Shanghai, nearly half of them would like to study abroad. "Chinese children are eager to go abroad to get a wider view, less academic (学业) competition or even family honor," said Chen Yi, a Chinese writer who has lived in the US for 16 years. "But life in foreign countries can be hard for young people." "We have to face the culture shock and language problems," said Hong Guang, a Chinese student in London. However, these are not always the most difficult things to overcome (克服)To most children, controlling themselves when studying alone in a foreign country is a big challenge. Zhang Jia, a 16-year-old student from Shanghai, entered high school in Melbourne, Australia last October. To his surprise, his teachers there seldom pushed students to study. And usually there wasn’t much homework. Some of his friends spent their whole year’ s money in the first two months of the new term. "Studying abroad at a young age call help students learn foreign languages quickly and broaden their minds, but students and parents should know about the challenges." Chen said.

The ups and downs of life may seem to have no predictable plan. But scientists now know there ate very definite patterns that almost all people share. Even ff you’ve passed some of your "prime", you still have other prime years to experience in the future. When are you smartest From 18 to 25, according to I.Q. scores; hut you’re wiser and more experienced with increasing age. You’re sharpest in your 20% But your I.Q. for other tasks climbs. Your vocabulary at age 45, for example, is three times as great as when you graduated from college. At 60, your Drain possesses almost four times as much information as it did at age 21. When are you happiest You have the best physical sense of yourself from 15 to 24; the best professional sense from 40 to 44. Before age 24, we believe that our happiest years are yet to come; over 30, we believe that they’re behind us. A National Health Survey agrees: After age 30, we become more realistic and do not view happiness as a goal in itself. If we maintain our health, achieve professional and emotional goals, happiness will follow. When are you most creative Generally between 30 and 39, but the peak varies with different professions. Mozart wrote a symphony by age eight, and Mendelssohn composed his best known work at 17, but most of the great music was written by men between 33 and 44. Though the peak in mast fields comes early, creative people continue to produce quality work throughout their lives. For the "well-conditioned mind", there is no upper limit.
