    More than 6000 children were expelled(开除)from US schools last year for bringing guns and bombs to school, the US Department of Education said on May 8.

    The department gave a report on the expulsions(开除)as saying handguns accounted for 58 per cent of the 6093 expulsions in 1996 to 1997, against 7 per cent for rifles(步枪)or shotguns and 35 per cent for other types of firearms.

    “The report is a clear sign that our nation’s public schools are cracking down(严惩)on students who bring guns to school,”Education Secretary Richard Riley said in a statement.“We need to be tough-minded about keeping guns out of our schools and do everything to keep our children safe.”

    In March 1997, an 11-year-old boy and a 13-year-old boy using handguns and rifles shot dead four children and a teacher at a school in Jonesboro, Arkansas. In October, two were killed and seven wounded in a shooting at a Mississippi school. Two months later, a 14-year-old boy killed three high school students and wounded five in Daducah, Kentucky.

    This year some twenty-three hundred teenagers(young people aged from 13—19)from all over the world will spend about ten months in U. S. homes. They will attend U.S. schools, meet U.S. teenagers, and form impressions 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 nineteen, 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 two months’ study, the language began to come to him. The 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 father’s word was law, and all activities were around the family rather than the individual. 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 may outside activities. I think that maybe your schools are better in training for citizens. There ought to be some middle ground between the two.”

72.This year   teenagers will take part in the exchange programme between America and other countries.

    A.twenty three hundred              B.thirteen hundred

    C.over three thousand               D.less than two thousand

73.The whole exchange programme is mainly to    .

    A.help teen agers in other countries know the real America

    B.send students in America to travel in Germany

    C.let students learn something about other countries

    D.have teen agers learn new languages

74.What is particular in America schools is that    .

    A.there is some middle ground between the two teaching buildings.

    B.there are a lot of outside activities

    C.students usually take fourteen subjects in all

    D.students go outside to enjoy themselves in a car

75.After experiencing the Amercian school life, Mike thought    .

    A.a better education should include something good from both American and Germany

    B.German schools trained students to be better citizens

    C.American schools were not as good as German schools

    D.the easy life in the American school was more helpful to students

One possible version:

    My parents have been wanting me to study abroad, but I don’t agree with them. I think my English is too limited to communicate with foreigners. And I’m not fully developed physically and mentally. So it would be hard for me to deal with the problems I’ll face. Besides the cost will be too much for my family.

    However, my parents think that it’s natural to master a foreign language in an English-speaking country. Worse still, studying abroad at an early age will enable me to be independent. Then it would be easier for me to learn advanced knowledge and technology, which would prepare me for a brighter future.

    I really don’t know whether I should obey my parents or not. I need advice!

Text 10

Once Smith, a traveler, was wet and cold because he had been riding in the rain. At last he

reached a country inn which was so crowded with people that he could not get the fire there. So he called out to the innkeeper.“Take some fish to my horse!” The innkeeper answered,“But a horse doesn’t eat fish!” Smith then said,“Never mind, do as I tell you.”The crowd of people, hearing this strange order, ran out to see the horse eat fish. The traveler, now having the whole room to himself, sat down beside the fire and warmed himself.

  When the innkeeper came back with the crowd of people, he said,“Your horse wouldn’t eat

fish!” The traveler answered,“Put it on the table, and when I have quite dried my clothes, I wille

eat it myself.”
