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 did Mike think after experiencing the American school life?

选项 A、The easy life in the American schools was more helpful to students.
B、German schools trained students to be better citizens.
C、American schools were not as good as German schools.
D、A better education should include something good from both American schools and German schools.

答案D

解析 细节理解题。根据最后一段可知,Mike认为美国的学校和德国的学校各有所长,美国的学校生活相对轻松,而德国的学校生活相对沉闷,他认为一个好的教育应该汲取双方的长处。故选D。
