• 2．Haley Curfman，25，of Blackwell，Oklahoma，is a teacher at Blackwell Public School and last year she bought a plain（樸素的） white dress，which she set up at a station in her classroom for her students to decorate，encouraging them to go and draw on the dress whenever they had free time.Haley set up a station at a table with the dress and some colored markers so that her students could draw on it，having first seen the idea on Pinterest.
     After the kids had finished the design，she then surprised them all by wearing the dress to class，sharing pictures of herself in it on Facebook in a post that has since been shared over 200，000 times.
     For teachers looking to do something similar for their own students，Haley said that she bought the dress off Amazon for less than ＄20 about six months ago and pre-washed the dress before she started the project.She used markers from Walmart.But she said these things can be bought in other places.She said，"To do the project，I set up a station at a table with the dress and markers.It takes anywhere from two weeks to a month to complete as we just work on it here and there when time allows.You'd better give the students enough time so they don't have to hurry."
     "Teachers have been sharing their dresses，T-shirts，etc.with me that they've been creating since the 1950s with the same idea.It is amazing，and I love the fact that you are sharing them with me!Thank you all so much for your kindness and support，" she wrote on Facebook.
     Asked why she came up with the idea，Haley told Scary Mommy. "We don't have art in our school，so，I always try to do little creative projects when possible."

• 3．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）The best title of the passage might be

  
  A．Studying in the U.S.
  B．The "Host Family" Program in the U.S.
  C．The "Student Exchange Program" in the U.S.
  D．Activities in American Schools
  （2）What's the purpose of the "American Host Family program"？

  
  A．To bring foreign students closer to American life. "
  B．To provide help for foreign students.
  C．To make greater progress in the study of foreign students.
  D．To supply "sons" or "daughters" for American families.
  （3）What can we know about the program from the fourth and fifth paragraphs？

  
  A．Its time，the number of students and families.
  B．Its activities，the number of schools and students.
  C．Its lengths of time，the number of students and activities.
  D．The number of students，the lengths of time and important holidays.

• 4．We all come from various backgrounds and have many differences in how we view the world and how we live our lives.Some earn more money than others，and some live in rural communities with diverse natural resources at our fingertips.Different cultures may be by several factors.（1）

  
     Every culture has their own spin （導向性陳述）on what foods people eat and how they prepare them.In larger communities，there are often plenty of options to explore.（2）

  Therefore，these smaller rural communities are often more limited in their experiences，diversity of choices and exposure to other cultures not represented within the local community.
     My time in the military took me to the lands far from home where I lived with a diverse group of fellow soldiers.（3）

  This allowed me to learn more about their cultures and foods in a safe environment.These similar experiences also exist within many of our diverse local communities.
  （4）

  Due to their climate，governmental structure，growing seasons，or advances in technology over the years，different cultures have different reasons as to why they eat what they do.According to the article "Why We Eat What We Eat"，produced by the UCLA Center for Human Nutrition， "The quest （追求）for food has shaped the development of our society ？"
     So consider this：explore other cultures via food .（5）

  But as you learn more about the background，you may find your world view broadened more than you may have envisioned."
  
  A.Not every dish may be to your liking.
  B.They viewed meal time in different ways.
  C.In smaller rural communities ，the choices are often more limited.
  D.However，there is one unifying thread that runs through all of us ----- the need to eat.
  E.I would never find an interest in the stories behind many of the foods being offered.
  F.Not only do the foods come from the United States，but they are also from around the world.
  G.Interestingly，many of the dishes of various cultures directly correlate to their specific environments.
