问题     This year some twenty-three hundred teenagers (young people aged from 13 to 19) from all over the world will spend about ten months in US homes. They will attend US schools, meet US teenagers, and form the 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, 19, 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, he began to understand the language. School life was completely different from what he had expected— much harder. Students rose respectfully when the teacher entered the classroom. They studied fourteen subjects instead of the six subjects that are usual in the United States. There were almost no extra-curricular activities.
    Family life, too, was different. The father’s words were the laws, 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.
    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. "The school life is far too easy for us. But I have to say that I like it very much. In Germany we can do nothing but study. Here we can take part in many extra-curricular activities. I think that maybe American schools are better in training citizens. There ought to be some middle ground between the two. "
What is particular in American schools?

选项 A、There is some middle ground between the teaching buildings.
B、There are a lot of extra-curricular activities.
C、Students usually study 14 subjects in all.
D、Students go outside to enjoy themselves in a car.

答案B

解析 细节理解题。根据第三段最后一句“There were almost no extra-curricular activities. ”及第五段第六句“Here we can take part in many extra-curricular activities. ”可知,美国学校的特别之处在于有很多课外活动,而德国的学校几乎没有课外活动。故选B。
