2. Summer Study Abroad Programs
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 that can’t afford it, there are many ways of financing study abroad, including government programs 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 — and the best programs combine adventures with language learning, cultural activities, and community service, so that adventurous teens get the best of all worlds. Broadreach offers 70+ summer adventures in 40+ countries, including marine biology, sailing, language immersion, culture, arts, community service, leadership, and outdoor skills.

Some language learning programs also provide volunteer opportunities. This can be an ideal way to break up study with 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 home-stay and language program in one. Whatever language program 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 to gain academic, cultural, and employment benefits.

22、For years going home for the holidays has been bittersweet. I appreciate the opportunity to spend quality time with my mom but it is painful for me to see her house littered with stuff (物品). Clothes bought but never worn, and new items in their original packaging carelessly purchased and never used. It’s evident that seeing the stuff on a daily basis reminds my mom of a time when shopping was her way of spending money.
I didn’t fully understand the extent to which my mom was suffering until this week, when I saw piles of clothes on her bed, “How do you manage to sleep every night with all that stuff, Mom?” I asked. To my horror, she replied to it because I know I have to get rid of all this stuff eventually; I am punishing myself by sleeping with them until I do that.”
Shocked and upset, I gently explained to her that punishing herself was only to make things worse, and that everybody deserves a place to sleep in peace, no matter what mistakes they’ve made. I suggested she move all the stuff upstairs, leaving her room comfortable to sleep in.
With patience and her slow but steady guidance, I helped her go through some of the piles and move them upstairs. For the rest of the week I stayed there, she was in a better mood and was excited about going-through the rest of the house to finally get rid of her stuff—past mistakes and painful times. The items brought back painful memories as we inspected and moved them, but I kept reminding her that removing them would allow her to move on and heal. We finally sold so many things and took bag after bag to charity.
The stuff is just a sign of the destructive patterns of self-hatred on past mistakes. Only through the act of self-forgiveness can we bring about a chain reaction of reorganizing— both of the house and heart.

D. the author knows her mom’s suffering only this week
【4】What’s the best title of the passage?
A. How to do shopping wisely B. The importance of self-forgiveness.
C. Keep an eye on the elderly’s behavior D. Clearance helps remove suffering
23、Cars, cots and plastic chairs became temporary beds for hundreds of families who lost their homes in southwest Puerto Rico as a series of earthquakes struck the island; one of them is the strongest in a century. The magnitude (震级) 6.4 earthquake that struck before dawn on Tuesday killed one person, injured nine others and knocked out power across the U.S. More than 250,000 Puerto Ricans remained without water on Wednesday and another half a million without power, which also affected telecommunications (电信).
More than 200 people had taken shelter in a gymnasium after an earthquake on Monday, forcing them to sleep outside. Among them was 80-year-old Lupita Martínez, who sat in the dusty parking lot with her 96-year-old husband by her side. He was sleeping in a temporary bed, a dark blue coat covering him. “There’s no power. There’s no water. There is nothing. This is horrible,” Martínez said.
The couple were alone, feeling sad that their caretaker had disappeared and was not answering their calls. Like many other Puerto Ricans affected by the earthquake, they had children in the U.S. mainland who urged them to move there, at least until the earth stopped shaking.
In Guánica itself, “We are facing a crisis worse than Hurricane Maria,” said Mayor Santos Seda, referring to the 2017 storm that destroyed the island. Tuesday’s earthquake was the strongest to hit Puerto Rico since October 1918, when a magnitude 7.3 earthquake struck near the island’s northwest coast, causing a tsunami and killing 116 people.
Dayleen Ortiz set up a speaker on the roof of her car to play energetic salsa music and provided crayons and paper for children and urged adults to shake their fears. One young girl tapped Ortiz on her leg repeatedly. “I want to play a beautician,” she said. Ortiz dug behind cases of water bottles, chairs and blankets in her car and produced eight small new nail polishes (指甲油) and the girl smiled wide. It was a trick she learned professionally to calm and entertain children and help them heal after Hurricane Maria hit.
【1】What is the main idea of the first paragraph?
A．The number of earthquakes.
B．The influence of power failure.
C．The reactions of people affected.
D．The damage the earthquake made.
【2】What do we know about Lupita Martínez?
A．Her house was destroyed by the earthquake.
B．Her husband passed out in the earthquake.
C．She was out of touch with her caretaker.
D．Her children urged them to move back home.
【3】What happened to Puerto Rico in 2017?
A．A hurricane.
B．A tsunami.
C．An earthquake.
D．A flood.
【4】According to the last paragraph, Dayleen Ortiz is most probably a(n) _________.
A．artist
B．beautician
C．magician
D．psychologist
24、Futurologists predict that life will probably be very different in 2050.
TV channels will have disappeared.【1】Today, we can use the World Wide Web to read newspaper stories and see pictures on a computer thousands of kilometers away. By 2050, music, films, programs, newspapers and books will come to us by computer.
【2】Cars will have computers to control the speed and there won't be any accidents. Today, many cars have computers that tell drivers exactly where they are. By 2050, the computer will control the car and drive it to your destination.
【3】Many factories already use robots. Big companies prefer robots — they don’t ask for pay rises or go on strike, and they work 24 hours a day. By 2050, we will see robots everywhere — in factories, schools, offices, hospitals, shops and homes.
【4】Today, there are devices that connect directly to the brain to help people hear. By 2050, we will be able to help blind and deaf people to see and hear again with the help of new technology.
Scientists will have discovered how to control genes.
【5】By 2050, scientists will be able to produce clones of people, and decide how they look, how they behave and how clever they are. Scientists will be able to do these things, but should they?
A．Robots will have replaced people in factories.
B．Scientists have already produced clones of animals.
C．Medical technology will have controlled many diseases.
D．Cars will run on new, clean fuels and they will go very fast.
E．No one can predict what our world will look like in the near future.
F．So many changes have taken place in this planet that there will be no life existing on it.
G．Instead, people will choose a program from a “menu” and a computer will send the program directly to the television.
