More than twenty-nine thousand foreign exchange students attended American high schools last year. The State Department says the teenagers came from one hundred and nine countries. Foreign exchange students get the chance to learn more about a culture and its people. They make new friends and experience new places. But they can also experience problems being far from home, among people they do not know and may not understand.①
The way many describe it, the experience is exciting and frightening at the same time. In the past, exchange students usually had limited contact with their host families before meeting them. But times have changed. Today, exchange students may know a lot about their host family before they ever leave home. E-mails go back and forth; pictures of families, homes and pets are shared. E-mails and cell phones also make it easier for the students to keep in contact with their own families back home.
Exchange students have to speak English well enough to attend an American high school. But some students find it takes weeks or months for them to understand everything they read or hear. American high schools come in small, medium, large and extra large. They can have three, four, even five thousand students. It is easy to feel lost at first in a huge building and moving from class to class. Changing classrooms night also be a new experience for exchange students. Some students come from countries where the teachers move from room to room, not the students.
Schools often want foreign exchange students as a way to increase the diversity of their student population. A student from the school goes to a foreign country for a school year while a foreign student comes to the United States.
Secondary-school exchange students normally come to the United States with J-One visas provided by the State Department. Some, however, come with an F-One study visa from the Department of Homeland Security. But an F4ne visa does not provide the same protections as a J-One visa. These protections include making sure all adults in host families have been checked for criminal records. Another protection is making sure exchange students have placements waiting for them in American schools.
To become an exchange student at an American high school, students must have completed no more than eleven years of school, and done well. ②They must be between the ages of fifteen and eighteen and a half. They must also speak English well. And they must agree to accept the rules of the exchange program and their host families. Host families are supposed to receive training in hosting an exchange student. Host families do not get paid, but they get a fifty dollar tax deduction for each month the student lives in their home. Nadia Gerstgrasser, an exchange student from Italy said: "You should not leave your country thinking oh, wow, cool, a year of holiday, I’m not going to do anything, it’s going to be fun, everything is just going to be exciting, bemuse it’s also hard. But at the same time it’s so cool. You’re gonna start liking it. You should try."
Going to a foreign country to live with complete strangers is not for everyone. But many who have done it say the experience taught them a lot about the world and about themselves. [br] Which of the following can be provided with a J-One visa?
选项
A、Safety guarantee.
B、Medical care.
C、Financial support.
D、Individual tutorial.
答案
A
解析
推理判断题。本题根据关键字J—One visa定位到原文第五段,文中第三句写到But an F-One visa does not provide the same protections as a J-One visa.,由此可知,J-One visa可以提供安全保障,其他的都没有在文中提及,可排除。
