Many American schools have a student exchange program with foreign countries.Along with this program，there is usually another one called the "American Host Family"program.As its name suggests，the program gets American families involved in foreign students' lives in America and offers homes for them.
Foreign students generally welcome such an opportunity to have a"family" here，but there are also those who prefer to stay "homeless".
Many American families volunteer to host foreign students.However，if there is a shortage of host families，schools also get in touch with local people and introduced foreign students to them.
The "American Host Family "program changes in lengths of time.It can go from a few days to a few years，depending on each individual school.After the first year is over，it is up to foreign students and their "families" to decide if they want to stay together as a "family".American families can host as many foreign students as they like.They can either have several students or just one at a time.Many families start with new students each year while still keeping in touch with the old ones.Schools usually leave it to Foreign students and their host families to decide their activities after both sides meet.
My school，however，holds activities every year.On major holidays like Easter，Thanksgiving and Christmas，foreign students are usually invited to their themes for dinner.Even schools that do not have host family programs often arrange students to get together with American families on these special holiday occasions.
It is typical that a host family invites its foreign daughter or son over，and they cook the student's home food together，Undoubtedly，Chinese students are usually considered good cooks，whether or not they are really qualified for such praise at home.Although many Chinese students rarely cooked at home，they often have a hard time making their American friends believe that they cannot cook.It often happens when a Chinese student promises to cook a Chinese meal for his host family，he usually sees a little crowd expecting him：friends or relatives are also invited over for the "special" Chinese food!

1． Nowadays，more and more young people have the chance to go to another country to study.Studying abroad will enable you to have various experiences.The best recommendation I'd like to give you is to be open to the experiences and the culture shock.Several common new experiences are around food，locations，culture，and language.
Food：The food in a foreign country will not only be different from American food，but the cooking style will also be different.For example，while most American vegetables are usually boiled，in China，where I studied ，vegetables are often fried，which，as far as I'm concerned，is terrible!China actually helped me like my former enemy，vegetables.So，have an open mind，and try the local food.
Locations：In terms of locations，I mean that your study abroad location differs from your home location or college location.For example，coming from San Francisco and going to school at Mount Holyoke.College in South Hadley，Massachusetts，was a location shock for me.I was not used to the very slow public transport and the need to drive.
Culture：Having an open mind will benefit you the most.In a global education program，we had Chinese roommates，and my Mount Holyoke Class was mainly made up of Chinese graduate students.Therefore，hanging out with them was not too much trouble，but if finding local friends is not that easy，join clubs，sit at coffee shops，or start conversations at a gathering or party.Being interested in flea markets and art galleries，I looked online for those types of events and went to them.At these events，I met expatriates （僑民） and locals alike and became good friends with them.Another way to fit in with the culture is to find people who will go to cultural events and places with you.I would walk around Shanghai，taking in the Chinese culture every where I went.
（1）We can infer from the passage that the writer.
A.made only Chinese friends when in Shanghai
B.kept an open mind when studying in China
C.disliked his study experience in Massachusetts
D.experienced Chinese culture by traveling everywhere
（2）Who may be interested in the passage？
A.Parents at home and abroad.
B.Teachers teaching foreign languages.
C.Students studying or to study abroad.
D.Workers in service agencies.
（3）Which will be mainly discussed in the following paragraph？
A.Friends.
B.Language.
C.Study.
D.Chinese culture.
（4）Which of the following can be the best title for the passage？
A.Make the Most of Your Experience When Studying Abroad
B.Get Familiar with Chinese Culture
C.Be Open to the Chinese Culture Shock
D.My Wonderful Experience When Studying Abroad發(fā)布：2024/10/11 5:0:1組卷：2引用：1難度：0.5 -
2． In English，my name means hope.In Spanish，it means too many letters.It means sadness，it means wajye.aiing.It is like the number nine.A muddy color.It is the Mexican record my father plays on Sunday mornings when he is shaving，songs like sobbing.
It was my great-grandmother's name and now it is mine.She was a horse woman too，born like me in the Chinese year of the horse — which is supposed to be bad luck if you're born female — but I think this is a Chinese lie because the Chinese，like the Mexicans，don't like their women strong.
My great-grandmother.I would've liked to have known her，a wild horse of a woman，so wild she wouldn't marry.Until my great-grandfather threw a sack over her head and carried her off.Just like that，as if she were a fancy chandelier.That's the way he did it.
And the story goes，she never forgave him.She looked out the window her whole life，the way so many women sit their sadness on an elbow.I wonder if she made the best of what she got or was she sorry because she couldn't be all the things she wanted to be.Esperanza.I have inherited her name，but I don't want to inherit her place by the window.
At school they say my name funny as if the syllables were made out of tin and hurt the roof of your mouth.But in Spanish，my name is made out of a softer something，like silver，not quite as thick as my sister name — Magdalena — which is uglier than mine.Magdalena who at least can come home and become Nenny.But I am always Esperanza.
I would like to baptize myself under a new name，a name more like the real me，the one nobody sees.Esperanza as Lisandra or Maritza or Zeze the X.Yes.Something like Zeze the X will do.
（1）In Spanish，Esperanza means.
A．Sadness.
B．Number nine.
C．A muddy color.
D．Mexican song.
（2）Which of the following statements about the great-grandmother is WRONG？
A．Her name was inherited by the author.

D．She's a strong and wild woman.
（3）What's the author's attitude towards her great-grandmother's life？
A．Neutral.
B．Sympathetic.
C．Rejected.
D．Acceptable.
（4）What is the best title of the passage？
A．My Family.
B．My School Life.
