Town or city twinning means two towns in different countries agree and decide to become “twins” with sister city relationship.Their citizens find pen friends in the twin town. They exchange newspapers and stamps. The school teachers discuss teaching methods with the teachers in the twin town. Officials visit the twin town for celebrations. Ordinary citizens travel to the twin town, too, but not very often if it is far away.Sometimes, schools even exchange their classes for two or three weeks! For example, German middle school students study for a while at the school in their twin town in Britain, staying with British families. A few months later, their British friends come to study in Germany.Some towns even arrange exchange visits for theatre groups, choirs（合唱团）and orchestras （ 管弦乐队）. Others send lecturers to the twin town who tell the people there all about their own town , and show photos and slides.Town twining can help make friends and motivate（促进） people to learn from each other. It helps students to improve their language skills, and it contributes to （有助于）strengthening peace and understanding between different nations.16Which is the best title for the passage?ATown Twinning BFriendly TownsCExchange Teachers and Students DPeace and Understanding17Twin towns develop _.Abetween European countries and ChinaBin the English-speaking countries onlyCin the same countryDbetween different countries in Europe18One of the advantages of town twinning is _.Ato earn more money Bto set up schoolsCto improve students language skillsDto develop industry and agricultureBWhen I was about 12, I had an enemy, a girl who liked to point out my shortcomings(缺点).

I ran to my father with tears in my eyes.He listened to me quietly, then he asked, “Are the things she says true or not? Janet, didnt you ever wonder what youre really like? Well, you now have that girls opinion. Go and make a list of everything she said and mark the points that are true. Pay no attention to the other things she said.” I did as he told me. To my great surprise, I discovered that about half the things were true. Some of them I couldnt change (like being very thin), but a good number I could-and suddenly I wanted to change. For the first time I go to fairly clear picture of myself.I b
