year some twenty-three hundred teenagers from all over the world will spend about ten months in u.s. homes. they will attend us schools, meet us teenagers, and form impressions (印象) of the real america. at the same time, about thirteen hundred american teenagers will go to other countries to learn new languages and gain a new understanding of the rest of the world. here is a two-way student exchange in action. fred, 19, spent last year in germany with georges family. in turn, georges son mike spent a year in freds 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 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.family life, too, was different. the fathers word was law, and all activities were around the family rather than each person. 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 american schools, ” he says. “it is far too easy by our level. 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 . there ought to be some middle ground between the two.”41this year teenagers will take part in the exchange programme between america and other countries.atwenty-three hundred bthirteen hundred cover three thousand dless than two thousand42the purpose of the whole exchange programme is to .ahelp teenagers in other countries know the real

england looking for somewhere to make a phone call. my car had broken down outside the town and i wanted to contact the aa. low grey clouds were gathering across the sky and there was a cold damp wind blowing off the sea which nearly threw me off my feet every time i crossed one of the side streets. it had rained in the night and water was dripping from the bare trees that lined the street. i was glad that i was wearing a thick coat.there was no sign of a call box, nor was there anyone at that early hour whom i could ask. i had thought i might find a shop open selling the sunday papers or a milkman doing his rounds, but the town was completely dead. the only living thing i saw was a thin frightened cat outside a small restaurant.then suddenly i found what i was looking for. there was a small post office, and almost hidden from sight in a dark narrow street next to it was the towns only public call box, which badly needed a coat of paint. i hurried forward, but stopped in astonishment when i saw through the dirty glass that there was a man inside. he was fat, and was wearing a cheap blue plastic raincoat. i could not see his face and he did not even raise his head at the sound of my footsteps. discreetly(谨慎地), i remained standing a few feet away and lit a cigarette to wait my turn. it was when i threw the dead match on the ground that i noticed something bright red trickling from under the call box door.45at what time was the story set?aan early winter morning. ba cold winter afternoon.can early summer morning. da windy summer afternoon.46which of the following words best describe the writers impression of the town?acold and frightening. bdirty and crowded.cempty and dead. dunusual and unpleasant.47the underlined word “trickling ”(last paragraph) probably means _.arushing out suddenlybshining brightlycflowing slowly in dropsdappearing slowly in a red color48why didnt the man raise his head when the writer came near?ahe was annoyed at being seen by the writer.bhe was angry at being disturbed by the writer.che was probably fast asleep.dhe was probably killed.cgrand openingbentwood truck museumsaturday, november 8, at 10:00 a.m.after eighteen months of hard work by more than 100 volunteers, the bentwood truck museum is ready to open. the old factory had been scheduled to be destroyed. when roger haygood heard about the plans to tear down the building, he bought it so that he could store his collection of old trucks there. then he had the idea of turning the building into a truck museum.during the past year and a half, the old building has been transformed into a treasure chest of memories. instead of a dark and dull house, the building has become a cheery, bright home for all kinds of trucks from the past.the museum now houses 68 trucks, and we hope to have even more soon. there is a 1959 school bus, a 1942 bakery truck, and a 1937 fire engine. our oldest vehicle is a 1919 milk truck. our newest vehicle is a 1966 tow truck. you can take a ride on a fire truck, a mail truck, or an ice-cream truck. rides are $2.00, but you can get a ticket for a free ride at any grocery store in bentwood.help us celebrate our grand opening by bringing your family and friends! there is something to interest everyone who attends. the bentwood truck museum is a special piece of our history.to get to bentwood truck museum, take route 29(kingston highway) to palmer street.go south on palmer street for one block and take a left onto norman drive.you will see the museum building and the amusement park on your left.parking is available across the street, on your right.49in which of the following can visitors take a ride?aa milk truck.ban ice-cream truck.ca bakery truck.da school bus.50where is bentwood truck museum?aon

exhibits trucks dating back to 100 years ago.dits transformed from an old factory by volunteers.52whats the purpose of writing this passage?ato introduce the old history of bentwood truck museum.bto persuade readers to attend the opening of the museum.cto explain why bentwood truck museum was set up.dto call on the visitors to take a ride in old trucks.dteenagers at one german school are learning how to achieve happiness along side other traditional subjects such as math and languages.the class sits in a circle with their eyes shut and they count from one to ten: someone starts, the next voice comes from the far right, a third from the other side.the aim of the game is to listen for an opportunity to shout out the number without clashing（冲突）with another voice or leaving a pause. on the first try, most of the young germans try to be first, while a few are too shy to join in, but by the fifth time round, they develop a rhythm. the message: give other people space but also confidently claim your own. this is a requirement for social well-being.the willy hellpach school in heidelberg is the first in the nation to develop a happiness course. it is intended for students preparing for university entrance exams. “the course isnt there to make you happy,” ernst fritz-schubert, the school principal, warned pupils, “ but rather to help you discover the ways to become happy.”cooking a meal together is one of the class exercises. improving body language under the guidance of two professional actresses is another.the course is taught for three periods a week. despite the happy subject, the pupils themselves insist it is no laughing matter.“in the first period, we had to each say something positive about another member of the class and about ourselves. no laughing at people or teasing,” said fanny, 17.research by the school shows it is not the first to start happiness classes: they also exist at some us universities, mainly based on positive thinking, using findings from studies of depression（沮丧）.53whats the purpose of this passage?ato introduce the happiness course.bto describe all the traditional courses.cto arouse the readers interest in happiness.dto help students struggle against being sad.54the game intended for the students in the 2nd paragraph is mainly to .atry their best to get opportunities for themselvesbpractice how to speak in front of peoplecconfidently speak out ones opinionsdequip them with required social skills55according to the passage, the happiness course is .acreated by the willy hellpach schoolbto make all the students happy all the timecrequired to be taken by the first year studentsdto help students discover the way to happiness56it can be inferred from the passage that .athe students self-respect can also improve happinessbthe students just took the course as a laughing matter cthe students can certainly become happy after the coursedthe students waste time learning something without valueefor years, experts have been encouraging people to exercise, using steps as simple as taking the stairs instead of a lift and walking to work, where possible. a recent study bolsters this adviceit shows that frequent active exercise throughout the day can have great health benefits.the study, published in the magazine prevent medicine, found that just 2 minutes of stair climbing several times a day can lower total cholesterol（胆固醇）, raise hdl (“good”) cholesterol and improve the heartbeat in young women who do not have much activity during the day. “such improvements may have important effects on the health of women, since ,like cigarette smoking, poor fitness has been shown to be a strong, graded, and independent risk factor for heart disease and all-cause death in women,” say dr. colin boreham with the university of ulster in belfast, ireland, and the fellow researchers of his study group. furthermore, improvements in total cholesterol levels achieved in the study could cut the rate of heart disease in women by a third, they note.the team of researchers from britain studied 12 women between 18-22 years old, before and after the exercise program. the women used a public staircase for about 2 minutes a day for 5 days a week. compared with a group of 10 women who did not take part in the stair- climbing program, the women who climbed stairs showed marked improvements in health and fitness levels after 7 weeks. however, they did not show any signs of weight loss. “a short- term stair- climbing program can give great health benefits to young women. stair- climbing may be a particularly suitable way of combining exercise with an individuals daily lifestyle.” they p
