An initiative（倡议）to share books about the history and the present of the Communist Party of China kicked off in Shanghai at the city's Fudan University on Friday and will last through the end of May.

Thousands of books on Party history and development were brought to a reading club on the school campus to celebrate the coming 100th anniversary(周年) of the founding of the CPC in July under the initiative held by the Shanghai Century Publishing (Group) Co Ltd and Yongye Group among others.

Jiao Yang, Party secretary of Fudan University, said that such a platform will help guide Party members, teachers and students to make themselves richer in thoughts through in-depth reading, improve their moral standards and bring more energy and liveliness to the school campus.

Zhang Wenhong, a famous doctor in the fight against the COVID-19 pandemic from Shanghai who said that he always keeps a book or two in his bag to read during his spare time, was named as the book club chair for the first day. He recommended youths to read more about the history during the early period after the CPC founding.

“Only after learning more about those old days could we understand that the Party’s victory and growth was not something sudden. It was destined(注定) to win the support of the people and be the choice of history,” said Zhang, who is also director of the department of infectious diseases of Huashan Hospital Affiliated with Fudan University.

“A better understanding of the past can also help young people put their future personal development in a bigger picture according to time and the county's blueprint,” he said.

   This year 2,300 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 American teenagers. American teenagers will go to other countries to learn new languages and have 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 return, 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. School was 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 family'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 (市民). There ought to be some middle ground between the two.”

7. The whole exchange program is mainly to _______________.

   A. help teenagers in other countries know the real America 

   B. send students in America to travel in Germany

   C. let students learn something about other countries     

    D. have teenagers learn new languages

8. What did Fred and Mike agree on?

   A. American food tasted better than German food.  

   B. German schools were harder than American schools.

   C. Americans and Germans were both friendly.    

   D. There were more cars on the streets in America.

9. What is special in American schools?

   A. There is some middle ground between the two teaching buildings.

   B. There are a lot of after-school activities.

   C. Students usually take 14 subjects in all.

   D. Students go outside to enjoy themselves in a car.

10. What did Mike think after experiencing the American school life?

   A. A better education should include something good from both America and Germany.

   B. German schools trained students to be better citizens.

   C. American schools were not as good as German schools.

   D. The easy life in the American school was more helpful to students.

六、阅读填空  先通读下面的短文，然后根据短文内容，在文章后表格的空格内填入一个最恰当的单词。所填单词必须写在答题卡对应题号的横线上，每个空格只能填一个单词。

  Beggars are often seen sitting by the side of a street with heads bowed as people pass by. Some ask people passing by for a small amount of money and some just sit and wait to be given money.

To solve the problem, another giving plan has been suggested. Ten blue money boxes will be placed in busy places such as the market and the railway station. It aims to encourage people not to give money directly to beggars but instead to give generously to local homeless people.

Supporters of this plan think it will be a useful way to solve the beggars’ alcohol and drug problems (酗酒和吸毒). But the police are against the plan arguing that beggars who do not receive cash may turn to criminality to feed their addictions. The homeless charity “Crisis” said the success of any plan will depend on its style. They think that imaginative and active plans can help create local understanding and sympathy (同情心) instead of hardness. Most of the beggars dislike the plan because they think they will not get enough money from the boxes for their showers, food and clothes.

Begging is a big social problem both in developing and developed countries. Government must play a big role in solving this problem. Training beggars to work and helping them to find fit jobs is one option. This is especially true for developing countries where many low-skill jobs exist.

The general community should also be educated to see beggars not as dirty and dangerous, but as people who need understanding and help.
