(A)
Student exchange programs are becoming more and more popular among teenagers. They allow students to live in another country, study in a foreign school, and experience a different culture.
There are many advantages of joining an exchange program. First, it helps improve language skills. Living with local people and studying in a foreign school makes students use the language every day, which is the best way to learn a language. Second, it broadens students’ horizons. They can learn about different cultures, customs, and lifestyles. Third, it helps students become more independent. They have to take care of themselves and solve problems on their own. Finally, it allows students to make friends from all over the world.
However, there are also some challenges. Students may feel homesick at first. They may also face language barriers and cultural differences. But these challenges can help students grow up and become more mature.
If you are interested in joining an exchange program, you should prepare well. Learn about the country’s culture and customs before leaving. Improve your language skills as much as possible. And most importantly, keep an open mind and be ready to accept new things.

Then I went to school by bus. The school started at 8:30 a.m. and ended at 3:30 p.m. The classes were different from those in China. We had more group activities and less homework. My favorite subject was American History. The teacher used interesting stories to make the class lively.

Wisdom is an important quality that helps us solve problems and make good choices in life. It is not the same as knowledge. Knowledge is what we learn from books or teachers, but wisdom is the ability to use that knowledge well.
Everyone can develop wisdom. Here are some ways to become wiser. First, learn from experience. When we face difficulties, we should think about what we can learn from them. Second, listen to others. People with different experiences can give us valuable advice. Third, think carefully before making decisions. Don’t rush to make choices when you are angry or excited. Fourth, be patient. Wisdom takes time to grow. We need to be patient and keep learning.
There are many examples of wise people in history. For example, Confucius, a great Chinese thinker, taught people to be kind, honest and respectful. His words are still helpful to us today. Another example is Benjamin Franklin, an American scientist and statesman. He used his wisdom to make many inventions and help his country.
Wisdom is not something that we are born with. It is developed through practice and learning. If we keep these ways in mind, we can become wiser and live a better life.
11. What is the difference between knowledge and wisdom?
A. Knowledge is from experience, while wisdom is from books.
B. Knowledge is what we learn, while wisdom is using that knowledge well.
C. Knowledge is for adults, while wisdom is for children.
D. Knowledge is useless, while wisdom is useful.
12. How many ways to develop wisdom are mentioned in the passage?
A. Three. B. Four. C. Five. D. Six.

My Experience in an Exchange Program
Last summer, I took part in an exchange program and went to study in Canada for two months.
I lived with a kind host family. They treated me like their own child and showed me around the city on weekends. At school, I had interesting classes with local students. We often discussed different cultures and helped each other with studies. I also joined the school’s art club and made many new friends.
This experience was very valuable. My English improved a lot, and I learned a lot about Canadian culture. I became more independent and confident. I will always remember this wonderful experience.
