This year, about 2,300 teenagers from all over the world will spend about 10 months in US homes. At the same time about 1,300 American teenagers will go to other countries to learn new languages and learn the rest of the world.
Here is a 2-way student exchange in action. Fred, 19, spent last year in Germany with George’s family. In turn, 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 2 months of studying, the language became easy for him. School was completely different from what he had expected and it was much harder. Students rose respectfully when the teacher entered the room. They took 14 subjects instead of 6 that were usually taken in the US.
Family life, too, was different. They have to listen to their fathers. All the activities were done with the family rather than individually. Fred found the food to be too simple at first. He also missed having a car.
“Back home, you pick up some friends in a car and go out to 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 own ideas. “I suppose I should criticize American schools. ” he says, “It is far too easy for our level but I have to say that I like it a lot in Germany, we do nothing but study. Here we take part in many other activities. I think that maybe American schools are better in training their citizens. There ought to be some middle ground between the two.

举一反三

Dogs are generally called “man"s best friend”. They are loyal, funny and loving. They seldom complain and always obey their owners. People who have dogs seem to be happier and healthier than those who live alone. One reason for this is that people with dogs lead more active lives. Who can say no to a lovely dog when he pulls on your arm and asks you to take him for a walk?
Dogs are really amazing animals. They not only provide great help for humans but also offer emotional support. Think about guide dogs for blind people, or dogs that help people in wheelchairs.
However, it is the emotional side of owning a dog that has been studied in detail by Dr Julie Davis of Chicago University. I have interviewed office workers and farmers, policemen and construction workers," says Dr Davis. Everyone wants to talk about their dogs. Many people said they cried much more when their dogs died than when their parents did. They said the sadness was much deeper. People tell me all the time that they get more emotional support from their dogs than they do from their husbands or wives."
小题1:What is the dog regarded as? (No more than 3 words)

请认真阅读下列短文, 并根据所读内容在文章后表格中的空格里填入一个最恰当的单词。注意：每个空格只填一个单词。
The word science is heard so often in modern times that almost everybody has an idea of its meaning. However, its definition is difficult for many people. The meaning of the term is confusing, but everyone should understand its meaning and objectives (目标). Just to make the explanation as simple as possible, suppose science is defined as classified knowledge or facts.
Even in the true science, distinguishing fact from fiction is not always easy. For this reason great care should be taken to distinguish between beliefs and truths. There is no danger as long as a clear difference is made between temporary and proved explanations. For example, hypotheses(假设) and theories are attempts to explain natural phenomena. From these positions the scientist continues to experiment and observe until they are proved or discredited. The exact status of any explanation should be clearly labeled to avoid confusion.
The objectives of science are primarily the discovery and later the understanding of the unknown. Man cannot be satisfied with recognizing that secrets exist in nature of that questions are unanswerable; he must solve them. Toward that end, specialists in the field of biology and related fields of interest are directing much of their time and energy.
Actually, two basic approaches lead to the discovery of new information. One, aimed at satisfying curiosity, is referred to as pure science. Sometimes practical-minded people miss the point of pure science in thinking only of its immediate application for economic rewards. However, one should remember that the construction of the microscope had to come before the discovery of the cell. The host of scientists devoting their lives to pure science are not apologetic about ignoring the practical side of their discoveries; they know from experience that most knowledge is eventually applied.
The other is aimed at using knowledge for specific purposes--for instance, improving health, raising standards of living, or creating new consumer products. In this case, knowledge is put to economic use. Such an approach is referred to as applied science.

The小题1:of science
小题2:__________ of science		● To define science, we may小题3:________call it classified knowledge or facts.
		● It is essential, though not 小题4:_____ , for us to distinguish fact from fiction.
Objectives of science		Science is 小题5:______ at discovering and understanding the unknown.
Two basic 小题6:_________to new discovery	Pure science	Scientists, who may be blamed for小题7:____ the practical side of their work, make discoveries out of 小题8:_______.
	小题9:______science	Knowledge is put to economic 小题10:_______, for example, improving health, raising living standards and creating new products.
