When the time comes to send the kids to college,some Asian parents may do their budget in Malaysian money. Malaysia wants to become a regional centre for higher education." We're introducing a bill in October to allow the University of London and other wellknown foreign universities to come in and establish fullscale branch campuses," says Fong Chan Onn,the deputy minister with responsibility for Chinese education. The University of London will be opening a branch near Kuala Lumpur. Fong says Australian institutions have expressed interest. "Even one of the Japanese universi?ties is interested," he adds.
Malaysia hopes the imports will solve several problems. Local universities have limited places and many are reserved for Malays and other native groups. Ethnic Chinese and Indians often have no choice but to study overseas―or not go to uni?versity at all. "The country has been spending billions on the thousands of students who go abroad for their higher education," says Penang State Assemblyman Kang Chin Seng. "The figure is almost equal to all the revenue we earn from tin mines. The government itself sends scholars (獎學(xué)金獲得者) to other countries. Many could be placed in the foreign campuses here,saving government funds."
As an education centre,Malaysia can even make money. "The slogan is that one foreign student studying in Malaysia is worth 4X365 tourist days," says Fong. Kuala Lumpur is eyeing students from ASEAN countries,and perhaps Hong Kong,where it is difficult to be admitted into local universities. Will foreign students come knocking? Prime Minister Mahathir Mohamad says Malaysia will be offering "quali?ty education at reduced cost". As for the local institutions,Fong believes they will rise to the challenge. Malaysia will know it has become a regional centre for educa?tion when its homegrown schools can rival foreign universities as centres of excel?lence.

There is distinction between reading for information and reading for understanding. 22 The first sense is the one in which we read news?papers,magazines,or anything else. 23 Such materi?als may increase our store of information,but they cannot improve our understanding. And clearly we don't have any difficulty in gaining the new information,for our under?standing was equal to them before we started. Otherwise,we would have felt the shock of puzzlement.
The second sense is the one in which we read some?thing that at first we do not completely understand. Here the thing to be read is at the first sight better or higher than the reader. The writer is communicating something that can increase the reader's understanding. 24 Oth?erwise one person could never learn from another. Here "learning" means understanding more,not remembering more information.
What are the conditions in this kind of reading? First,there is inequality in understanding. 25 Besides,his book must convey something he possesses and his poten?tial readers lack. Second,the reader must be able to over?come this inequality in some degree. And he should al?ways try to reach the same level of understanding with the writer. If the equality is approached,success of communi?cation is achieved.
26 It is the least demanding and requires the least amount of effort. Everyone who knows how to read can read for entertainment if he wants to. In fact,any book that can be read for understanding or information can probably be read for entertainment as well.
A. Thus,we can employ the word "reading" in two dis?tinct senses.
B. Such communication between unequals must be possi?ble.
C. We can get access to the content of those materials easily.
D. The writer must be "superior" to the reader in under?standing.
E. The writer should have a better communicating skill.
F. Besides gaining information and understanding,there's another goal of reading―entertainment.
G. Reading for entertainment is capable of increasing our understanding for information.
