11．This year some twenty-three hundred teenagers （ young people aged from 13to 19）from all over the world will spend about ten months in US homes．They will attend US schools，meet US 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．Schools were 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（个人）．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（批评） 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 many outside activities．I think that maybe your schools are better in training for citizens（公民）．There ought to be some middle ground between the two．

A．help teenagers in other countries know the real America

1．Proverbs（谚语） are quite common in spoken English．We don't normally put them in a composition or a letter．Sometimes it is helpful if you know what common proverbs mean．Here are a few examples．
1）"Once bitten，twice shy．"If a dog bites me，I shall be twice as careful in future when I see it．This proverb is also used to apply to many things and not only to dogs．If you have been cheated at a shop，you will not go to the same shop again．
2）"A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush．"If I am a hunter，trying to catch birds，it is better to catch one than to see two birds in a bush but not able to catch them．Thus this means that what you have already got is better than the chance of being able to get something bigger in future．
3）"Don't be a dog in a manger（槽）"means"Don't be selfish．"In a stable （马房），the manger is the place where the horse's food is put．Sometimes a dog will sleep in the manger and bark when a horse comes to get its food．The dog does not want to eat the food in the manger but it will not let the horse eat it．
4）"He is sitting on the fence"means that somebody will not say whether he is in favor of a plan or against it．He is sitting on a fence between two opposing sides，perhaps waiting to see which side will win．
5）"He who pays the piper calls the tune．"A piper is a musician．The man who employs   or pays a musician can say what tunes the musician will play．Thus this means that if a man provides the money for a plan，he can say how it will be carried out．
6）"You can't get blood out of a stone"means that you cannot get something from a person who has not got any of the things you want．e．g．you cannot get a million dollars from a poor man．

32．Peter has a bicycle which is much too small for him but he does not want to let his younger brother ride on it．His mother is angry and says to him：B．
A．You can't get blood out of a stone
B．Don't be a dog in a manger
C．Once bitten，twice shy．
D．To pour oil on troubled waters

A．he was sitting on the fence
B．once bitten，twice shy
C．he who pays the piper calls the tune
D．a bird in the hand is worth two in the bush
34．Mrs．Lin wanted to buy a new dress．Her husband suggested that she buy it from a shop near their home．Mrs．Lin disagreed because she had been cheated by that shop．So she said："I won't go there again becauseC．"

8．Happiness is for everyone．You don't need to care about those people who have beautiful houses with large gardens and swimming pools or （36）C and so on．Why？Because those who have big houses may often feel lonely and those who have cars may want to walk on the country roads at their free time．
In fact，happiness is always around you if you put your heart into it．（37）A When you study hard at your lessons，your parents are always taking good care of your life and your health．When you get success，your friends will say congratulations to you．When you do something wrong，people around you will help you to correct it．（38）D All these are your happiness．If you notice a bit of them，you can see that happiness is always around you．
Happiness is not the same as money．It is a feeling of your heart．When you are poor，you can also say you are very happy，because you have something else that can't be bought with money．（39）G，because you have more chances to challenge yourself．So you cannot always say you are poor and you have bad luck．As the saying goes，life is like a revolving（旋转的）door．When it closes，it also opens．（40）B．

A．When you are in trouble at school，your friends will help you
B．If you take every chance you get，you can be a happy and lucky person
C．those who have nice cars and a lot of money
D．And when you do something good to others，you will feel happy，too

6．In a very special course at Knnet School，the social-science teacher Adam Smith guides his students through the"married life"．Unlike the traditional course，Adam makes his students experience the real problems married ones may face like housing and child care．"No one tells kids about money-managing problems，"says Adam．
Each student should act out in ten weeks what normally takes couples ten years to finish．In the first week，one member of each couple is asked to get an after school job-a real one．During the term，the income rules their life-style．In the third week，the couples must find an apartment they can afford．
In the fifth week，the couples"have a baby"and then struggle to cover the costs of baby clothes and furniture．In week eight，the marriage comes to the breaking point by such disaster as a mother-in-law's moving in or death．It's all over by week ten （the tenth year of marriage）．After serious discussion with lawyers about alimony （赡养费） and child support，the students get divorced （离婚）．
Adam's course，which has"married"1，000students since its beginning six years ago，is widely supported by parents and students．Some of the students have found the experience making them realize their real life marry plans are wrong．Marianne Baldrica，16，who tried"marriage"last term with her boyfriend Eric Zook，15，said，"Eric and I used to get along pretty well before we took the course together．But I wanted to live in the city，he wanted the country．He wanted lots of kids，I wanted no kids．It's been four weeks since the course ended and Eric and I are just starting to talk to each other again．"
