Read the passage below and choose the best answer for each question.
STUDYING ABROAD
Before applying to a foreign university, one should consider the disadvantages of studying abroad. First, a
student may feel lonely by being far from home and friends. Also, difficulty in understanding a foreign language
can be very disappointing and can affect the student’s grades. It can be very expensive to pay the costs of travel
and housing in a different country. Finally, if there is an emergency at home, it will be hard to get home in a hurry.
However, studying in another country is advantageous in many ways. A student is exposed to a new
culture. This culture teaches him or her about other people and other ways of thinking, which can promote
friendships among countries. He can learn a new language which may be beneficial for keeping up with research
after the student has finished studying. He can learn experience not available in his country. The student may also
get the opportunity to study at a university where a leading expert in his field may be teaching. The leading expert
can introduce the student to the most up-to-date findings of the top researchers in the field. Exposure to such
available knowledge and insights into the field can aid the student in becoming an expert as well.

Television and Kids
Television is very popular and even has some benefits for kids. It helps very young children learn the letters of
the alphabet, and helps other kids learn about science, cultures, and world events.
However, researchers show that too much TV is bad for children. For one thing, there is a link between
watching more than four hours of TV a day and being overweight. For another thing, many TV shows are violent
and upsetting. Watching these shows may cause kids to be more fearful. And of course, more time in front of the
TV means less time to study. Too much TV may also be the cause of lower grades.
Experts do not agree on the solution to these problems. Some say that kids should watch only educational
programs; others say kids should watch no TV at all. And others suggest teaching them to watch TV as occasional
entertainment, not as an everyday hobby.
39. What is the passage mainly about?
A. Benefits of kids' TV shows B. Effects of television on kids
C. Why kids love TV D. Why kids shouldn't watch TV

41. The word "them" in paragraph 3 refers to ______.
A. programs B. experts C. kids D. problems
42. What can be inferred from the passage?
