Washington--Laura Straub is a very worried woman. Her job is to find families for French teenagers who expect to live with American families in the summer.
It's not easy, even desperate(希望渺小).
“We have many children left to place: 40 out of 75”, said Straub, who works for a Paris-based foreign-exchange programme called LEC.
When the exchange programme started 50 years ago, family life was more accommodating. For one thing, more mothers stayed home.
But now, increasing numbers of women work outside home. Exchange-student programmes have struggled in recent years to sign up host families for the 30000 teenagers who annually come from abroad to spend all academic year in the United States, as well as the thousands more who participate in summer programmes.
School systems in many parts of the US, unhappy about accepting non-taxpaying students, have also strictly limited the number of exchange students they accept. At the same time, the idea of hosting foreign students is becoming less exotic(異國情調(diào)的).
In searching for host families, who usually receive no pay, exchange programmes are increasingly broadening their appeals(呼吁) to include everyone from young couples to retirees.
“We are open to many different types of families,”said Vickie Weiner, eastern regional director for ASSE, a 25-year old programme that sends about 30000 teenagers on academic-year exchange programme worldwide.
For elderly people, exchange students“keep us young--they really do,”said Jean Foster, who is hosting 16-year-old Nina Porst Denmark.
1.In the past, Straub's job was easy,because _____.
[ ]
A.American families needed more money to live

2.The underlined word“accommodating”in the 4th paragragh means _____.
[ ]
A.simple and interesting
B.colourful but poor
C.hard to deal with
D.eager or willing to help others
3.To deal with the problem in recent years, Straub and her workmates have to _____.

B.limit the number of the exchange students
C.borrow much money to pay for the costs
