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^① 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^② 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. There ought to be some middle ground between the two.”
Notes:
① respectfully adv. 尊敬地，谦恭地
② criticize vt. 批评，责备

      When you were looking for a reliable,honest auto mechanic,how did you find him?Before you went
into that restaurant you recently tried,how did you know that it served great food?If you are like most
people on the planet,you want to lower your risk of a big ugly surprise so you asked people you trust to
refer to a business they trust.Marketers call this friendtofriend recognition of a business "wordofmouth"
adv ertising.
     When you do a great job for your customer or a bad job,people are going to talk about your business.Unfortunately,because we humans seem to feel negative emotions more intensively than positive ones,we're more likely to tell more of our friends about bad experiences with a business than positive ones.Understand this:Customers believe their own experience.You can't make them believe that your company is
wonderful when they felt they were treated badly.
       So,to get positive wordofmouth going for your business in this servicebased economy,you've got to do a really outstanding job for everyone,exactly.
       And when you do,you build a great reputation.That takes time.But it forms a close link with your
customers in a way that no advertising and no promotional coupon (优惠券) ever could.
      The good news is that because there are so many different businesses chasing after your customers'
money,people want to know whom they can trust.So people are going to be talking about you.Create a
free sales force for your business-an army of delighted  customers who tell everyone that they know how
good your company is to do business with.That's a great antidote (解毒剂) to defectionitis.
