Young people in the United States do not have a strong understanding of the world and their place in it.
Two US-based groups, the Council on Foreign Relations and the National Geographic Society, conducted an online survey last year. They wanted to know what young people in American colleges knew about geography, U.S. foreign policy, recent international events, and economics.
The survey was given to over 1,200 Americans between the ages of 18 and 26 years. All of them presently attending, or having previously graduated from, a 2- or 4-year college or university.
The average test score, out of 75 total possible answers, was 55 percent. The study identifies a few important problems. For example, only 30 percent knew that the only part of the U.S. government that can declare war is Congress. Only 60% of those taking the survey could identify Brazil on a world map.
Part of the problem, argue the organizers of the survey, is the Internet. They say it is becoming harder to find high-quality information about world events amongst all the fake news and trivia which swamp the web. Forty-three percent of those questioned said they read about the news on Facebook.
Another problem is that most college courses do not require students to learn about international issues. If such information is not required, Richard Haass from the Council on Foreign Relations said, then the United States could have leaders like Gary Johnson. He was a recent presidential candidate who did not know about the Syrian city of Aleppo when a reporter asked him about it.
The survey results were not all bad. The young people also demonstrated a good understanding of climate change and renewable energy. And the majority of them said that international issues were becoming more important to them.
Haass says these findings suggest the need to find ways to get good information to students, both in school and online. To help, the Council on Foreign Relations is creating a new program called CFR Campus, designed to help build knowledge about global issues.

When I visit Merle, I always head straight to the kitchen. I play with her dog, and get settled at the table while Merle makes cups of tea for us.
We talk about anything we can think of: politics, dogs, the weather, and work. It’s a ritual that I look forward to days in advance.
To an outsider, my visit appears to be simply the typical act of a granddaughter visiting her grandmother. But Merle and I are not related. She is my surrogate grandmother(代理外祖母）.
I didn’t even realize I was in the market for a new grandparent until I gradually found that the relationship between Merle and I was exactly what I had with my maternal(母性的） grandparents—safe and comfortable.
While our relationship developed organically, there are plenty of people who have gone out searching for a grandparent-grandchild relationship.
Sydney-based Cate Kloos started “Find a Grandparent” in May 2012, after moving to Australia from Germany. While she enjoyed a close relationship with her grandparents in her native country, she realized her own children would be without their extended family(大家庭). She wanted them to benefit in the same way that she had. Grandparents, she says, offer a different but essential kind of support.
“Find a Grandparent” works much like a match-mating service, where young families or individuals can ask for someone to act as a grandparent figure in their life. So far, several hundred families have made connections and spend time doing typical activities—lunch, going to movies and sharing stories.
“It is very important to have another person to turn to when they have problems; often grandparents have a different approach to life,” said Kloos.
1.How does the author feel about her visit to Merle?
A. It is very formal.
B. It makes her nervous.
C. It gives her great pleasure.
D. It is a source of inspiration for her.
2.Why did Kloos decide to start “Find a Parent”?
A. To honor her grandparents.
B. To make people closer to each other.
C. To bring warmth to elderly people.
D. To enable her kids to get more emotional support.
3.What does Kloos stress in the last paragraph?
A. The qualities of grandparents.
B. The important role of grandparents.
C. We should have a positive attitude to life.
D. We should spend more time with our family.
4.What’s the best title for the text?
A. Merle and I
B. My role-model
C. Biological or surrogate?
D. Finding surrogate grandparents

Throw out the bottles and boxes of drugs in your house. A new theory suggests that medicine could be bad for your health. This new theory argues that healing (the process of becoming healthy and strong again) is at our fingertips: we can be healthy by doing Reiki on a regular basis.
Supporters of medical treatment argue that medicine should be trusted since it is effective and scientifically proven. They say that there is no need for spiritual methods such as Reiki, Yoga, Tai Chi. These waste our time, something that is quite precious in our material world. There is medicine that can kill our pain and x-rays that show us our broken bones. We must admit that these m
ethods are very effective in the examples that they provide. However, there are some "everyday complaints" such as back pains, headaches, which are treated currently with medicine. When you have a headache, you take an Aspirin; when you cannot sleep, you take Xanax without thinking of the side effects of these. When you use these pills for a long period, you become dependent on them; you cannot sleep without them. We pay huge amounts of money but never get better. How about a safer and more economical way of healing? When doing Reiki to yourself, you do not need anything except your energy so it is very economical. Also, there are no side effects and it is scientifically explained.
They also claim that serious illnesses such as HIV/AIDS and cancer cannot be treated without drugs. They think so because these patients spend the rest of their lives in the hospital taking medicine. How can Reiki make these people healthy again? It is very unfortunate that these patients have to live in the hospital losing their hair and weight because of the side effects of the medicine they take. Actually, instead of drugs which are expensive and have many side effects, you can use your energy to overcome the hardships of life, find an emotional balance, leave the stress of everyday life and let go of the everyday worries.
Some people may still hold that in our material world, everything depends on time. How would it be possible to find time to do Reiki? In fact, Reiki does not require more than 15 minutes of our time. It is less time consuming than medicine if we think of all the time we spend taking medicine for some complaints and taking some more for the side effects as well.
1.The author's attitude towards Reiki is ______.
A. disinterested B. serious
C. positive D. doubtful
2.According to the passage, which of the statements is correct?
A. Reiki will soon become the most popular exercise around the world.
B. Reiki is an effective treatment but not scientifically explained.
C. Reiki can make people less dependent on drugs.
D. Reiki is a kind of cheap drug but works well.
3.Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?
A. A New Way of Treating Illness
B. Health and Healing at Your Fingers
C. The Advantages and Disadvantages of Reiki
D. The Advantages and Disadvantages of Medicine
