971．This year some twenty-three hundred 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 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.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 father's word was law，and all activities were around the family rather than the individual.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.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.There ought to be some middle ground between the two."

．发布：2024/11/25 21:30:1组卷：62引用：7难度：0.9975．Four days before Christmas in 1968，Frank Borman，James Lovell and William Anders had an adventure out to the moon，becoming the first human beings to near and orbit our closest neighbour in space.On Christinas Eve，they pointed a TV camera out of the window of Apollo 8 and showed a global audience of 1 billion the ancient moon moving slowly below their spaceship.As that movie played，Anders began reading， "In the beginning，God created the heaven and the earth..."
"I didn't choose it，" he said last October，when all three astronauts met to mark the 50th anniversary of their moon flight，at Chicago's Museum of Science and Industry，where their spaceship is displayed.
When the three men returned to earth on December 27，they were surrounded by a sea of joy.That kind of collective joy-born of collective effort- can seem beyond us now.From the factory floor to the three men in the spaceship，an estimated （估计） 400，000 people had a hand in making the moon flight possible.Behind the joy there was also a dark danger Apollo 8 might face.If the astronauts made it into the moon orbit but their engine failed to fire when it was time to return，rescue would be impossible.They would circle the moon forever.But the astronauts did come home，and in the process they gave the world another gift：the celebrated photograph that came to be known as Earthrise.
Even fifty years later，Borman and Lovell continued to play jokes on Anders，85 then.
"I'm still trying to figure out who did it，" said Borman，with a wink（眨眼睛）.
"You did it，I think，" Lovell answered.
"William did it，" Borman admits. "He didn't want me to take it at first，" Anders said.
"I have never said it before publicly，" said Borman， "but I'm just proud that I was able to fly with these two talented guys.You did a really good job."

The researchers found that the people in the study who ate spicy foods one or two days a week were 10 percent less likely to die during the study，compared with those who ate spicy foods less than once a week，according to the study published in the journal The BMJ.Moreover，the people in the study who ate spicy foods three or more days a week were 14 percent less likely to die during the study，compared with those who ate spicy foods less than once a week.
However，the study was observational，and so it is too early to tell whether there is a certain relationship between eating spicy foods and lower mortality，said study author Lu Qi，an associate professor at Harvard School of Public Health in Boston，Massachusetts. "We definitely need more data from other populations，" Qi told Live Science."The researchers don't know why exactly the consumption of spicy foods may be linked to the drop of early death，but previous research on cells and animals has suggested several possible connections，" Qi said.
"It is unclear whether the observed associations are the direct result of spicy foods intake，or whether spicy foods are simply a marker for other beneficial but unmeasured dietary components（成分），" said Nita Forouhi，a nutritional expert.At this point，researchers don't know for sure whether eating spicy foods can have a beneficial effect on human health and mortality，Forouhi wrote."Future research is needed to make sure whether spicy food consumption has the potential to improve health and reduce mortality directly，or if it is merely a marker of other dietary and lifestyle factors，" she said.
