desperate. “we have many children left to place 40 out of 75,” said straub, who works for a foreign exchange programme called lec.when foreign exchange programmes started 50 years ago, more families were accommodating. for one thing, more mothers stayed at home. but now, increasing numbers of women work outside the home. exchange-student programmes have struggled in recent years to sign up host families for the 30, 000 teenagers who come from abroad every year to spend an academic year in the united states, as well as the thousands more who take part in summer programmes. school systems in many parts of the u.s., unhappy about accepting non-taxpaying students, have also strictly limited the number of exchange students they accept. at the same time, the idea of hosting foreign students is becoming less exotic(有异国情调的). in search for host families, who usually receive no pay, exchange programmes are increasingly broadening their requests to include everyone from young couples to the retired. “we are open to many different types of families,” said vickie weiner, eastern regional director for asse, a 25-year-old programme that sends about 30,000 teenagers on academic-year exchange programmes worldwide. for elderly people, exchange students “keep us youngthey really do”, said jen foster, who is hosting 16-year-old nina post from denmark. 24. according to the text, why was it easier to find host families?aamerican school systems were better than now. bthe government was happy because it could gain tax. cmore mothers stayed home to look after children. dforeign students paid hosting families a lot of money.25. viekie weiner is the person who _.a. comes from denmark b. works for assec. is 25 years old d. hosts foreign students.26.to deal with the problem in recent years, exchange programmers have to _.aextend the range of host families blimit the number of the exchange students cborrow much money to pay for the costs dmake hosting foreign students more exotic 27. which of the following is the best title of this passage?a. exchange students keep old people young.b. different ideas of hosting students. c. foreign-exchange program going on. d. u.s. struggle to find host families.cin the gym of croxteth community school, liverpool, 50 boys have completed a course on boxing that is seen as a sign for its return to state schools.the schools amateur boxing association (saba) has developed the kid gloves scheme, a non-contact (非接触)version of the sport where outside coaches teach a range of basic skills.chris andrews, assistant secretary of the saba, said the scheme was regarded as a way of changing the decline in boxing in state schools which began 25 years ago.safety fears and the poor image of professional boxing had accelerated the sports decline. concern was worsened by incidents such as the death of the professional boxer bradley stone. but the croxteth example was winning more supporters. mr. andrews said the idea was particularly well received in the north-east of england.he said, “i think there is a genuine recognition that there are aspects to boxing, if it is controlled and properly run, that really is very beneficial to children. this scheme takes away the dangers. i hope boxing can be promoted throughout the country in a more coordinated(协调的) way.” such an idea horrifies such groups as the british medical association (bma) and the british safety council, both critics of the idea.dr. jeffrey cundy, the joint author of a bma report on boxing, accepted that the scheme in liverpool was non-contact, but he was still opposed. he said, “we feel that children should still not be introduced to boxing, because they will then be encouraged to take up an activity which is uniquely dangerous when actual contact takes place.”he added, “there is a whole range of sports which will teach the discipline that comes from boxing without the dangers. we see this reintroduction in schools as an unhealthy development.”at the 800-pupil croxteth school, steve stewart, head of pe, said boxing had helped to improve self-confidence, self-discipline, self-awareness and self-respect in those taking part. everybody could get involved and, because all were starting from scratch, the improvements could be quickly seen.gerry thompson and tony curry, both 12, have enjoyed the boxing sessions and say they will both join a local boxing club. “i thought it was brilliant,” said gerry. “i would rather be a professional boxer than a footballer. its more enjoyable.”28. according to the text, the kid gloves scheme is developed by saba primarily to _. a. provide more fun for students b. promote the boxing course in a less dangerous wayc. help students gain a sense of achievement d. encourage students to be better-behaved29. dr. jeffrey cundys attitude towards the return of boxing to schools can be described as _. a. supportiveb. unconcernedc. neutral d. disapproving30. the underlined part “all were starting from scratch” probably means_. a. starting the course was difficult b. scratching was the first step to learn boxingc. everyone was inexperienced and started from the very beginningd. students would easily get hurt during the course31. in which section of a newspaper can we most likely read the passage_?a. educationb. lifestyle c. science d. businessdresearchers at the university of kansas say that people can accurately make a judgment on the majority of strangers personality by means of observing their shoes. “shoes convey useful information about their wearers，”the authors wrote in the new study published in the journal of research in personality.lead researcher omri gillath said the judgments were based on the style, cost, color and condition of someones shoes. in the study, 63 university of kansas researchers looked at pictures showing 208 different pairs of shoes worn by the studys participants. volunteers in the study were photographed in their most commonly worn shoes, and then filled out a personality questionnaire.some of the results were within the expectation that people with higher incomes most commonly wore expensive shoes, and flashier shoes were typically worn by outgoing people. however, some of the more specific outcomes are strange enough. for example, “practical and functional”shoes were generally worn by more “pleasant” people, while ankle boots were more linked with “aggressive” personalities. the strangest of all may be that those who wore “uncomfortable looking” shoes tend to have “calm” personalities. and if you have several pairs of new shoes or take extreme care of them, you may suffer from “attachment anxiety”, spending lots of time being concerned about what other people think of your appearance. there was even a political calculation in the mix with more liberal types wearing “shabbier and less expensive” shoes.the researchers noted that some people will choose shoe styles to mask their actual personalities, but researchers noted that volunteers were also likely to be unaware that their footwear choices were showing the deep side of their personalities.32. what does this text mainly tell us? _.a. shoes can hide peoples real personalities.b. shoes convey false information about the wearer.c. people know little about their personalities.d. peoples shoes can reflect their personalities.33. the participants were asked to_.a. design a personality questionnaire b. hand in their commonly worn shoesc. provide pictures of their shoes d. look at pictures of different shoes34. which of the results is beyond peoples expectation? _.a. wealthy people often wear expensive shoes.b. aggressive people are likely to wear ankle boots.c. pleasant people like wearing uncomfortable shoes.d. flashier shoes are typically worn by outgoing people.35. the author wrote the text in order to_.a. introduce a research method b. inform us of a new studyc. teach how to choose shoes d. describe different personalities第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，共10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的七个选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。first day, to do and not to dono one wants to look silly or do the wrong thing at a new job. it is important to make the
