3．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．

C．students usually take fourteen subjects in all

More and more people began to read news．Australian users were considered as the most consumers of news online．Six percent of all time spent online in Australia in 2012was on news websites，and it was five percent in the UK and four percent in the US．
The online situation is changing greatly．There are some changes in users behavior across different places and markets．People are changing the way they communicate online such as the rise of 3G and 4G mobile internet service and so on．
