A Two-way Student Exchange

　　This year 1 twenty-three hundred teenagers from all over the world will spend about ten months in U. S. 2 . They will attend U. S, schools, meet U. S. teenagers, and form 3 of the real America. At the same time, about thirteen hundred American teenagers will go to other countries to learn new 4 and gain a new understanding of the rest of the world.

　　Here is a two-way student exchange in action. Fred, nineteen, spent last year in Germany with George's family. 5 , George's son Mike spent a year in Fred's home in America.

　　Fred, a lively young man; knew little German when he arrived, but after two months' study, the language began to come to him. School was completely different from what he had expected－much 6 . Students rose respectfully when the teacher entered the room. They took fourteen subjects 7 the six that are usual in the United States：There were almost no 8 activities.

　　Family life, too, was different. The father's word was 9 , and all activities were around the family rather than the individual. Fred found the food too simple at first. 10 , he missed having a car.

　　“Back home, you 11 some friends in a car and go out and have a good time. In Germany, you walk, but you soon learn to like it.”

　　At the same time, in America, Mike, a friendly 12 boy, was also forming his idea. “I suppose I should criticize American school,” he says. “It is far too easy by our 13 . But I have to say that I like it very much. In Germany we do nothing but 14 . Here we take part in many outside activities. I think that maybe your schools are better in training for 15. There ought to be some middle ground between the two.”

答案：B;A;B;D;A;C;D;C;B;B;B;C;D;A;C
解析：

　　剖析：1．此空填some表示“大約”．

　　2．從下文看，in U. S. homes指世界上其他國(guó)家的學(xué)生：與美國(guó)學(xué)生：家庭一起生活，就像家庭成員一樣，以體驗(yàn)生活．

　　3．青年學(xué)生：到不同的國(guó)家里體驗(yàn)生活，必然產(chǎn)生印象，故填impressions．

　　4．從上下文看，把青少年送到外國(guó)去，主要是讓他們學(xué)習(xí)語言和增進(jìn)對(duì)其他國(guó)家的了解，而且美國(guó)學(xué)生：也要到世界各國(guó)去，所以此空填languages用復(fù)數(shù)形式．

　　5．此處in return意思是“(作為交換)同樣地”，指德國(guó)學(xué)生：Mike，也要到美國(guó)學(xué)生：Fred家里度過一年生活．

　　6．從上下文看，德國(guó)學(xué)校比美國(guó)學(xué)校要求高，紀(jì)律嚴(yán)，家庭情況也是如此，故填harder，表示“更加嚴(yán)格”．

　　7．此空填instead of，指德國(guó)學(xué)生：在校通常學(xué)習(xí)十四門課程，代替美國(guó)學(xué)生：在校通常學(xué)習(xí)的六門功課．

　　8．outside activities指學(xué)生：在戶外及校外的活動(dòng)，參照短文倒數(shù)第三句．

　　9．此空填law，說明父親說的話就是法律，指說話算數(shù)，這與美國(guó)家庭情況不同．

　　10．此空填also表示遞進(jìn)關(guān)系，這里指美國(guó)學(xué)生：Fred住在德國(guó)學(xué)生：Mike家里，不僅飯食簡(jiǎn)單，就連小汽車也坐不上．

　　11．四個(gè)選項(xiàng)的短語動(dòng)詞所表示的意義不同：pick up接某人上車，搭載；get on上車；put on穿上，上演；take away拿走．句中地點(diǎn)狀語in a car說明此空是指接朋友上車．

　　12．由上文Fred，nineteen，spent last year in Germany with George's family，得知，George的兒子Mike是德國(guó)人．

　　13．此空填level，表示根據(jù)我們的水平．

　　14．do nothing but do sth是一個(gè)固定句型，意思是“只做……”．

　　15．四個(gè)選項(xiàng)均為表示人身份的名詞：officers軍官；politicians政治家；citizens公民；athletes運(yùn)動(dòng)員．此處指為培養(yǎng)公民而訓(xùn)練學(xué)生：．

WHETHER you like it or not, your parents are responsible (負(fù)責(zé)任的) for you, at least until you’re out of school. Does it feel like your parents are stressing you out with their love? Do you often fight with them?
Hu Muqing, 16, of Shenyang, complains that his parents are only concerned about his grades and not his other needs. He and his parents fight the most about the time he spends watching TV and on the Internet. The Shenyang teenager said, “They think because I’m in middle school I should concentrate on my work. However, I need to be able to relax. Most of my friends can watch TV and surf the Web a lot. Sometimes it’s hard to talk to them.”
After some negotiations (商談), Hu has been allowed to watch TV for 15 to 20 minutes every night, but has been told to keep away from the computer.
Shen Ying, 17, Jianyang, Sichuan Province. Since she feels she’s grown up now, she wants more respect from her parents. “My father shouted at me when he’s in a bad mood. He doesn’t listen to me, but instead acts like, ‘I’m the boss’!” said the teenager “I’d like my parents to treat me like a friend and understand that respect is a two-way street.”
Lu Yiting, 15, of Shantou, has a different problem with her parents. They think she spends too much time with her friends and is falling into bad company. “I want trust from my parents,” Lu said.
It’s the age when teenagers are becoming more independent (獨(dú)立的), but their parents are very concerned about their kids’ futures, said Sun Yunxiao, a senior researcher at the China Youth and Children Research Center. Sun suggests that teenagers should learn to communicate with their parents effectively. “Find the right time for a talk. On Mother’s Day or Father’s Day, say ‘Thank you’ to your parents or give them a small gift with a letter so they can get inside your head a little,” he advised. Sun also believes that teenagers have to work to earn trust and respect from their parents. “You need to make sure they know that you’re not going to screw up (搞砸) your exams or let them down. Let them know that you want to do well, and that you will do well,” he said.

A father was sitting at his desk and looking at his bills when his young son rushed in and said, “Dad, because today is your birthday and you’re 40 years old, I’m going to give you 40 kisses, one for each year!” When the boy started kissing, the father shouted, “Oh, Andrew, don’t do it now. I’m too busy!”

The boy soon became silent as tears fell down from his big blue eyes. Feeling sorry, the father said, “You can finish the kisses later .”

The boy said nothing but quietly walked away. That evening the father said, “Come and finish the kisses now, Andrew!” But the boy didn’t.

Unfortunately, a few days later, the boy had an accident and died. His sad father wrote,“If only I could tell him how sorry I am for my thoughtless words, and how much my heart is hurting.”

Love is a two-way street. We must warmly accept any loving act, or others will take it as a “No” and it may leave a scar(傷痕). If we don’t receive love, our life will lose its true meaning.

Any loving act must be warmly accepted, or it will be taken as rejection and can leave a scar. If we are too busy to give and receive love, we are too silly! Nothing is more important than accepting love from those who are and dear to us.
