  This year 2300 teenagers(young people aged from 13-19)from all over the world will spend about ten months in U.S.homes.Theywill attend U.S.schools, meet U.S.teenagers, and form impressions(印象)of the real American teenagers.American teenagers will go to other countries to learn new languages and have 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.In return, 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 harder.Students rose respectfully(尊敬地)when the teacher entered the room.They took fourteen subjects instead of the six that are usual in the United States.There were almost no outside activities(活动).

  Family life, too, was different.The family’s word was law, and all activities were around the family rather than the individual(个人).Fred found the food too simple at first.Also, he missed having a car.

  “Back home, you pick up 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 German boy, was also forming his idea.“I suppose I should criticize(批评)American schools, ”he says.“It is far too easy by our level(水准).But I have to say that I like it very much.In Germany we do nothing but study.Here we take part in many outside activities.I think that maybe your schools are better in training for citizens(市民).There ought to be some middle ground between the two.”

[  ]

A.

help teenagers in other countries know the real America

提示:

(1)

本题考查交流项目的目的,其他三个选项比较片面。

(2)

注意是双方都同意。agree on 意为“在……取得一致”。

(3)

从文章最后一段Mike认为在美国“Here we take part in many outside activities.”可知。

(4)

其他三项比较片面,而且最后一段Mike认为“There ought to be some middle ground between the two.”
