Here are the major ways for your teens to gain international experience during a summer abroad:
1.Summer Teen Volunteer Programmes
Volunteering abroad offers a unique insight into another culture.Programmes can teach much,while strengthening a commitment to the life of volunteering.Amigos International offers immersive programmes that include leadership training,along with volunteering.Visions Service International shows ways for your teens to be a teen without borders through service work and cross-cultural living.
2.Summer Study Abroad Programmes
Study abroad is my passion—there’s something unique about studying in another country that makes the subject matter come alive,from archaeology to literature.Studying abroad in high school,whether for a summer or on exchange,can get your teens excited about learning again.For those who can’t afford it,there are many ways of financing study abroad,including government programmes to fund language learning overseas.
3.Summer Adventures and Cultural Travel Abroad
Maybe your teen is more drawn to adventure.There are many opportunities for adventures abroad—the best programmes combine adventures with language learning,cultural activities,and community service,so that adventurous teens get the best of all worlds.Broadreach offers more than 70 summer adventures in more than 40 countries,including marine biology,sailing,language immersion,culture,arts,community service,leadership,and outdoor skills.
4.Summer Language Immersion(沉浸)
Some language learning programmes also provide volunteer opportunities.This can be an ideal way to study by helping others.Intercultural Costa Rica also includes cultural activities and tours.The Alpine French School provides both language learning and cultural and outdoor activities.
French Summer Classes is a unique opportunity for your teen to have a homestay and the language programme in one place.Whatever language programme your teen chooses,the chance to learn language through immersion is,as research has shown,the best way to not only learn a language,but gain academic,cultural,and employment benefits.

Working up a credit score for Walter Cavanagh has got to be a mathematical nightmare — the man has nearly 1,500 valid credit cards to his name and holds the Guinness Record for the most credit cards.Mr Plastic Fantastic — a title given to him by Guinness World Records — is also the proud owner of the world’s longest wallet,which can hold about 800 cards.But he uses it only to carry a few cards,while the rest are safely kept in bank safe-deposit boxes.
Cavanagh started collecting credit cards in the late 1960s.“One of my best friends and I made a silly bet:the guy who could collect the most credit cards by the end of the year would win dinner,” he said.“I got 143 cards by the end of the year,and my friend gathered 138.” After winning that bet,Cavanagh decided to simply keep going with his unusual collection.He got credit cards from gas stations,airlines,bars,and even ice cream stores.
If there’s one card missing from Cavanagh’s collection,it’s that from the Newberry Company.They repulsed his application for a card in the early 1970s,even though he’d collected over 100 by then.They said he had too much credit.Therefore,so far he hasn’t had a Newberry card in his collection.
Cavanagh hasn’t stopped applying for new cards — he’s held the Guinness Record since 1971 and has no intention of letting go of it.He copies whole pages from a U.S.directory of businesses and keeps sending applications.If he receives a rejection,he writes back to the company explaining his goal and ambition.But he doesn’t count useless cards in his total collection.
Thanks to all the cards to his name,Cavanagh has access to about $1.7 million at any moment.Despite this privilege,he has managed to maintain an excellent credit score.
The 72-year-old retired financial planner and credit expert has only one piece of advice to share:“Never use a card to buy anything you can’t pay off in a couple of months.If you don’t have the discipline,you shouldn’t have the cards.” 
4.Cavanagh began to collect credit cards when he 　　　. 
A.owned a very long wallet
B.made a bet with his friend
C.wanted to create a Guinness Record
D.was treated to dinner by his friend
答案:B
解析:细节理解题。根据第二段中的“Cavanaghstartedcollectingcreditcardsinthelate1960s.‘OneofmybestfriendsandImadeasillybet:theguywhocouldcollectthemostcreditcardsbytheendoftheyearwouldwindinner,’hesaid.”可知,自从跟朋友打赌后,卡瓦纳就开始收集信用卡了。
5.What does the underlined word “repulsed” in paragraph 3 probably mean?
A.Rejected. B.Recalled.
C.Repeated. D.Recognised.
答案:A
解析:词义猜测题。根据第三段中的“Theysaidhehadtoomuchcredit.Therefore,sofarhehasn’thadaNewberrycardinhiscollection.”可知,卡瓦纳没有NewberryCompany的卡,表明他的申请被拒绝了,故选A项。
6.What do the underlined words “the discipline” in the last paragraph probably refer to?
A.Having many cards to your own name.
B.Buying things by card and paying off in time.
C.Managing to own more privileges for your card.
D.Using a card to buy things as many times as possible.
答案:B
解析:推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“Neveruseacardtobuyanythingyoucan’tpayoffinacoupleofmonths.”可知,卡瓦纳建议人们:如果几个月内无法偿还信用卡,那最好别用信用卡购物,故选B项。
7.What do we know about Cavanagh’s cards?
A.Some of them are useless.
B.They are safely kept in his long wallet.
C.They have brought him fame and privilege.
D.Fewer new cards are added to his collections.
答案:C
解析:推理判断题。根据第一段中的“holdstheGuinnessRecordforthemostcreditcards”及倒数第二段中的“Despitethisprivilege”可知,卡瓦纳收藏的信用卡给他带来荣誉并且也使他享有一些特权。
C
It happens to most first-time fish keepers.They run to a fish store,pick out the bestlooking fish,and get all the things they need for their tanks.Then they fill up their tanks and put their fish in the water.Over the course of the next week,their fish aren’t looking so good.Then all of a sudden,all of their fish start to die off.
Luckily,there is an explanation.Ammonia(氨) and nitrite(亚硝酸盐) are toxic to fish.You see,keeping fish in a tank produces ammonia.If a fish is placed in a new tank,the tank won’t be equipped with the ability to change that ammonia into a less harmful chemical.And that’s why they die.
To avoid the whole failure,you have to understand a little something called the Nitrogen Cycle(氮循环).After ammonia is produced in a tank,a kind of bacterium that is naturally found in water(a bacterium that consumes ammonia and produces nitrite) reproduces itself to form a large enough area to change all ammonia into nitrite.As the concentration(浓度) of nitrite increases,the same thing happens to nitrite,which happened to ammonia.A group of bacteria that change nitrite into nitrate(硝酸盐) form in large numbers.The cycle takes about one week to several months,depending on your technique.When a tank reaches a point where it can change all ammonia and nitrite being produced in a tank to nitrate before they reach harmful concentrations,it has finished the Nitrogen Cycle—it is safe for fish.
So before you ever place a fish into a tank from now on,use some skills to make it do that first.To do so,slightly increase ammonia concentration of your tank.If after 24 hours,your tank has no mark of ammonia or nitrite,you can ensure that it’s cycled.You just need to perform a partial water change and your tank is ready for fish.
8.What can we learn from paragraph 1?
A.It’s really hard for people to keep fish well.
B.The author feels very sorry for those dead fish.
C.New fish keepers begin to raise fish in a hurry.
D.People have no idea how to use their tanks well.
答案:C
解析:推理判断题。第一段描述了养鱼新手经常会遇到的问题:他们刚养的鱼很快就死了;由第二段的最后两句可知这是因为新买的鱼缸产生有害物质,从而导致鱼中毒而死;由此可推知作者在第一段中想说明新手养鱼太仓促了。
9.Which of the following can replace the underlined word “toxic” in paragraph 2?
A.Open. B.Harmful.
C.Familiar. D.Beneficial.
答案:B
解析:词义猜测题。由第二段的“thetankwon’tbeequippedwiththeabilitytochangethatammoniaintoalessharmfulchemical”可推知,ammonia和nitrite这两种化学物质对鱼类有害。
10.What do we know about the Nitrogen Cycle?
A.It makes sure of fish’s safety.
B.It provides all the nutrition fish need.
C.It increases the concentration of ammonia.
D.It produces more chemicals to clean the tank.
答案:A
解析:细节理解题。由第三段的内容尤其是最后一句“ithasfinishedtheNitrogenCycle—itissafeforfish”可知,新买的鱼缸经过氮循环之后,人们就可以用它来养鱼了;故选A项。
11.Which question can’t be answered in the text?
A.What’s the right way to raise fish in a new tank?
B.What happens during the Nitrogen Cycle?
C.Why are fish in a new tank likely to die?
D.Why is nitrate less harmful to fish?
答案:D
解析:推理判断题。文章第一段介绍了养鱼新手常遇到的问题,第二段解释了造成这种问题的原因,第三段具体介绍了氮循环的过程,最后一段介绍了用新鱼缸养鱼的正确方法;故选D项。
D
A recent Stanford study found that America’s students are shockingly bad at telling fact from fiction in this digital age.It’s apparent that something has to change in the nation’s classrooms.That something,according to Professor Sam Wineburg,one of those Stanford researchers,is “practice.”
“How do they become prepared to make the choices about what to believe,what to forward,what to post to their friends,” Wineburg asked on NPR’s All Things Considered,“when teachers give no practice to them?”
Patricia Hunt,an experienced teacher at Wakefield High School in Arlington,VA.,is doing something she has never done before:helping to pilot a new,digital course called the checkology virtual classroom.It comes from the nonprofit The News Literacy Project.
Hunt’s students,most of them seniors,work in threes or fours.They’re presented with a series of stories that are rapidly and broadly spread via the Internet.Some are false information.Some are ads.And some are pure fact.
“We don’t know which is which at this point,” laughs student Kahder Smith.“We actually have to sit down,take our time,and actually read them.And probably Google some stuff to see if it’s real or not.”
A post claims that more than a dozen people died after receiving the flu vaccine(疫苗) in Italy and that the CDC(Centers for Disease Control) is now telling people not to get a flu shot.
“I mean,I’ve heard many unconfirmed reports that the flu shot’s bad for you,” student Autumn Cooper says.But instinct(直觉) tells her the story’s wrong.“It just doesn’t look like a reliable source.It looks like this is off Facebook and someone shared it.” Cooper labels the story “fiction”.And she’s right.
Instead of teaching students the fundamentals of fact-checking,many schools simply ignore the problem,blocking social media sites on school computers.
“It’s like teaching students to drive in the parking lot and then sending them out on the highway and saying ‘Good luck!’” says Audrey Church,president of the American Association of School Librarians.
12.What does the underlined word “they” in paragraph 2 refer to?
A.Stanford researchers. B.Media people.
C.Students. D.Teachers.
答案:C
解析:代词指代题。根据第一段中的“America’sstudentsareshockinglybadattellingfactfromfictioninthisdigitalage”可知,在电子时代,美国的学生缺乏辨别真假消息的能力,由此可推测,这里是问“这些学生”如何做好准备来做出选择:相信什么、传递什么、给他们的朋友发布什么消息,另外,根据第二段末的“whenteachersgivenopracticetothem”也可推测,这里的they指的是学生。
13.How does Hunt run the digital course?
A.By inviting experts to give students lectures.
B.By asking students to go on the Internet together.
C.By taking students to a news organisation regularly.
D.By letting students identify factual information in groups.
答案:D
解析:细节理解题。根据第四、五段内容可知,Hunt让她的学生三四人一组鉴别真假消息。
14.According to Church,what should schools do?
A.Help students improve driving skills.
B.Teach students how to spot false news.
C.Allow students to drive on the highway.
D.Ask students to avoid using social media.
答案:B
解析:推理判断题。根据最后两段内容可知,Church认为学校屏蔽社交媒体的做法就像是在停车场教会学生们开车后让他们直接上路,这样做无疑风险很大。由此可推测他反对学校屏蔽社交媒体的做法,而是希望学校能够教孩子们如何识别假新闻。
15.What does the text mainly discuss?
A.The findings of a recent Stanford study.
B.An educational issue in the digital age.
C.The influence of a widely spread post.
D.An experienced high school teacher.
答案:B
解析:主旨大意题。通读全文可知,本文讨论了在电子时代,老师如何帮助学生们学会鉴别网络消息的真假,这是一个教育问题。

根据下面短文,从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Corporate culture is the values and beliefs a company develops over time.The role of corporate culture is to improve a company’s mission and strategies,with long-term hopes of improvements in a company’s profit.Mostly corporate culture comes from a company’s top management.
Culture shock isn’t a clinical term or medical conditions.It’s simply a common way to describe the confusing and nervous feelings a person may have after leaving a familiar culture to live in a different culture.　16　 That can be exciting,but it can also be overwhelming. 
Everyone feels the pressure to fit in at one time or another—whether they’ve lived in the area for days or years.But don’t feel like you need to change everything about yourself so you can stand out less.　17　 
Here are a few tips for making sure your new culture doesn’t overpower the old:
Educate people about your culture.Being the one entering the new culture doesn’t mean you should be the one doing all the learning.　18　 They may know little about it.It will also help them to learn more about you in the process. 
Find a support group.Find kids in your class or neighbours who recently moved,too.You can share experiences.
　19　 You probably left behind good friends and family when you moved.If it’s going to be a long time until your next visit,keep in touch.You also left behind other things—like your favourite spot to hang out in.Keep pictures around to remind you of home. 
Remember,it’s important to be yourself.　20　 You will have your own pace of adaptation.As long as you find a good combination between old and new,you’ll be fine. 
A.Keep in touch with home.
B.Understand the new culture.
C.But the good news is that culture shock is temporary.
D.When you move to a new place,you’re bound(一定会) to face a lot of changes.
E.Try not to force yourself to change too fast or too many things all at once.
F.All of your experiences before you came to your new home are part of you.
G.Take the opportunity to teach classmates and new friends about your culture.

阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。续写词数应为150左右。
In my culture,it’s not accepted or normal to go against my parents’ wishes.I belong to a small and native community in the Oaxaca region of southern Mexico.We’ve lived here for centuries,and my family has been growing cotton for as long as anyone can remember.
When I was small,I had a lot of work to do.My father was sick and we were poor,so my sister and I would get up very earlier every morning to prepare food for the whole family.After school we would run home quickly to help do housework.On weekends,I would go to the village market to sell our cotton.Every time I sold something,it was good news for the whole family.
When I became a teenager,I wanted to study to become a secretary.By working in an office I would be able to earn more money,which would be good for my family.I knew I was smart and that I would do a good job,but my parents refused to let me study.I listened to them and followed their advice in order not to make them unhappy.
Years later,some students from California came to our village.They were organising an educational workshop for local people.We would learn new things and technology about growing cotton,and have the chance to network.This was a good chance for me to learn something new and useful.Of course I was willing to take part in it,but my parents said no again this time.
I have wonderful and generous parents,who are kind to everybody around them.Even when our family could hardly afford food,they would welcome guests with coffee and cookies.I knew they refused me because they wanted the best for me.I knew they were worried about me being away from them,but I knew they were wrong.Attending this workshop would be good for our family.I would be able to learn something new and useful,and our business would grow much faster than it could.
Therefore,Iputmyfootdownanddecidedtogo.

Therefore,Iputmyfootdownanddecidedtogo.Though my parents didn’t allow me to go,I knew that going against my parents was a way to meet their needs and my own.Not long after I took part in the workshop,I found that the workshop was really wonderful.I learned a lot in the workshop.I brought new techniques to my family and met many important people through the workshop.All these have helped our business and have made our business grow faster.
NowInolongerlivetogetherwithmyparents,butIworkwiththemeveryday.Through my own experience,I have learned a very important lesson for me and for all the people on earth:I have learned to listen to myself and to do the things that are important to me.Listen to yourself and to your own heart,and you will reach your goal and realise your dream in the end.
