　　This year 2300 teenagers (young people aged from 13-19) from all over the world will spend about ten months in US homes. They will attend US schools , meet US teenagers, and form impressions(印象) 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 two-way student exchange in action. Fred, ninteen, 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 respectfuly (尊敬地) 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.(活动)

　　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 said. “It is far too easy by our level (水准). 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”

　　68.The world exchange program is mainly to ______.

　　A.help teenagers in other countries know the real America

　　Decision­making under Stress

　　A new review based on a research shows that acute stress affects the way the brain considers the advantages and disadvantages, causing it to focus on pleasure and ignore the possible negative(负面的) consequences of a decision.

　　The research suggests that stress may change the way people make choices in predictable ways.

　　“Stress affects how people learn，” says Professor Mara Mather.“People learn better about positive than negative outcomes under stress.”

　　For example, two recent studies looked at how people learned to connect images(影像)with either rewards or punishments. In one experiment, some of the participants were first stressed by having to give a speech and do difficult math problems in front of an audience; in the other, some were stressed by having to keep their hands in ice water. In both cases, the stressed participants remembered the rewarded material more accurately and the punished material less accurately than those who hadn't gone through the stress.

　　This phenomenon is likely not surprising to anyone who has tried to resist eating cookies or smoking a cigarette while under stress—at those moments, only the pleasure associated with such activities comes to mind. But the findings further suggest that stress may bring about a double effect. Not only are rewarding experiences remembered better, but negative consequences are also easily recalled.

　　The research also found that stress appears to affect decision­making differently in men and women. While both men and women tend to focus on rewards and less on consequences under stress, their responses to risk turn out to be different.

　　Men who had been stressed by the cold­water task tended to take more risks in the experiment while women responded in the opposite way. In stressful situations in which risk­taking can pay off big, men may tend to do better; when caution weighs more, however, women will win.

　　This tendency to slow down and become more cautious when decisions are risky might also help explain why women are less likely to become addicted than men: they may more often avoid making the risky choices that eventually harden into addiction.

　　64．We can learn from the passage that people under pressure tend to ________.

　　A．keep rewards better in their memory

　　B．recall consequences more effortlessly

　　C．make risky decisions more frequently

　　D．learn a subject more effectively

　　65．According to the research, stress affects people most probably in their ________.

　　A．ways of making choices

　　B．preference for pleasure

　　C．tolerance of punishments

　　D．responses to suggestions

　　66．The research has proved that in a stressful situation, ________.

　　A．women find it easier to fall into certain habits

　　B．men have a greater tendency to slow down

　　C．women focus more on outcomes

　　D．men are more likely to take risks

　　【要点综述】本文主要讲述的是压力对人做出决定的影响以及男女在面对压力时决定方式的不同。

　　64. A　细节理解题。根据文章第四段“In both cases, the stressed participants remembered the rewarded material more accurately and the punished material less accurately than those who hadn't gone through the stress.”可知A为正确答案。

　　65. A　推理判断题。根据文章标题和实验内容，可知作者要说明的是“The research suggests that stress may change the way people make choices in predictable ways.”(第二段)。所以选A。

　　66. D　细节理解题。根据文章第七段“Men who had been stressed by the cold­water task tended to take more risks in the experiment while women responded in the opposite way.”可知D为正确选项。
