Staying alongside host families enables students to get enough practice for the short time of their studying so that their language acquisition is likely to bee faster. Living in host families also has the advantage for students of being able to spend a lot of time municating with their “host parents”, and get to know the local way of life, people and culture. Another advantage is that host family acmodation can sometimes be the least expensive. It attracts students for it ensures them a family type of living at a low cost. The advantages, however, have not prevented host families form worrying. On one hand, some host families are losing their unique selling point. The problem is that the majority of hosts in big cites, now generally single and young, have less times available for students but the selling point for host family acmodation is munication practice. One the other hand, students’ expectations have risen. They are being more demanding and asking for more than ever from their acmodation, as they e mainly from high socioeconomic groups in their own countries. To get out of the difficult situation, host families are now making efforts to improve the quality of service. They are trying to making living conditions better, including broadband Internet service, private bathroom, and access to plenty of hot water for long showers. They are also providing students with structured family activities. It is believed that host family acmodation will keep the popularity vote with language travel students.

Some Japanese have a novel way to find out: Photograph it with a cellphone and send the image to an expert. With cellphones being mon in Japan and rising concern over expanding waistlines, healthcare providers will allow the calorieconscious people to send photos of their meals to nutritionists (營養(yǎng)學家) for advice. Public health insurance offices in Osaka in Western Japan have launched the service on a trial basis. About 100 cardiac (心臟病的) patients signed up in the first year, followed by diabetes and obesity patients in the second. “Japanese have been getting fatter, especially men in their 20s and 30s. There is concern over what they learned about nutrition when they were younger,” the Osaka official, Satomi Onishi, said. “We’re hoping that this program can help us deal with the problem.” Osaka is using a system developed by Asahi Kasei Corp. The system is operating among about 150 healthcare providers and local governments around the country Nutritionists can work with photos from one day’s meals to several weeks’ worth. Results e back in three days. People can also log on a website to get further information. Dr Yutaka Kimura has developed a similar system at Kansai Medical University’s Hirakata Hospital, also in Osaka. Five patients have taken part in the programme, which costs $37 to join and $21 per month. Patients photograph meals over the course of three to seven days, and a nutritionist s advice to them. “Patients used to fill in meal logs, but people tend to forget things or underestimate (低估) their portions (份),” Kimura said. “Photographing meals and ing them can be easier and get more accurate results.” As Japanese have turned to bigger portions and more meat and fried foods, obesity and related illnesses such as high blood pressure have bee a rising concern. The Health Ministry estimated last year that more than half of Japanese men and about one in five women between 40 and 70 years old were at the increased risk of heart disease, type II diabetes and other diseases because of obesity. With the Health Ministry hoping to see a 25% reduction in the number of people at the risk of these diseases by 2015, Osaka officials hope the cellphone program will help.New function of cellphonesReasonsCellphone cameras help Japanese lose (1) _____.There is a growing concern about health and (2) _____ slim.Obesity may result (3) _____ diseases such as high pressure, heart disease, type II diabetes and so on.They hope the cellphone programme will help to (4) _____ the number of people who are at the risk of these diseases.WaysThe service on a trial basis has been started to solve the problem of (5) _____ fat.A system has been developed in which the value in (6) ______ is told 3 days later according to the photos of meals (7) _____ with cellphones.Another system has also developed in which advice is (9) _____ to patients after a nutritionist gets (10) _____ amount of nutrition from the photographed meals over the course of three to seven days.Further information can be got by (8) _____ on a website.答案：1. weight 2. keeping 3. in 4. reduce 5. being 6. nutrition 7. taken 8. logging 9. ed 10. accurate 7.請認真閱讀下列短文，并根據(jù)所讀內(nèi)容在文章后表格中的空格里填入最恰當?shù)膯卧~。注意：每空格1個單詞。Quality afterschool programs are designed to improve academic performance, decrease youth crimes and other highrisk behaviors, and help
