Host family accommodation means that hosts treat the student as a full member of the household, eating together with the student and sharing the common living areas with him/her. No more than three adult students or four junior students will be accommodated in host family accommodation at one time.
Host family accommodation remains popular among international students. It is the most economical and beneficial accommodation for any student. It is also the best way to practise English and learn new cultures. As a result, it is often seen as the number-one choice for its advantages in language study, cultural communication and cost of living. Staying alongside host family enables students to get enough practice during the short time of their study so that their language acquisition is likely to become faster. Living in host families, students are able to spend a lot of time communicating with their “host parents”, who are often very hospitable and friendly, and get to know the local way of life, people and culture. Most host families are always ready to help students out in any situation. Often the bonds that are made between international students and their host families endure many years, and are maintained through letters and e-mails. Another advantage is that host family accommodation can sometimes be the least expensive. It attracts students as it ensures them a family type of living at a low cost.
The advantages, however, have not prevented host families from worrying. On the one hand, some host families are losing their unique selling point. One problem is that the majority of hosts in big cities, now generally single and young, have less time available for international students, but the selling point for host family accommodation is communication practice. On the other hand, students’ expectations have risen. They are becoming more demanding and asking for more than ever from their accommodation, as they come mainly from high socio-economic 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 make 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 accommodation will keep the popularity vote with international students.

The advantages and disadvantages of a large population have long been a subject of discussion. It 31 (argue) that the supply of good land is limited. To feed a large population, inferior land must be cultivated and the good land worked 32(intensive). Thus, each person produces less and this means a lower average income than could be obtained with 33 smaller population.
One of the 34(difficult) in carrying out a world-wide birth control program is that official attitudes to population growth vary from country to country. In a developing country 35a vastly expanded population is pressing hard upon the limits of food, space and natural resources, 36 will be the first concern of government to place a limit 37 the birthrate, whatever the consequences may be. A decreasing birthrate may lead to unemployment because it results in a37(decline) market. When the pressure of population on housing declines, prices also decline and the building industry is weakened. 39(face) with such considerations, the government of a developed country may well prefer to see a slowly increasing population,rather than one which is stable 40in decline.

Beauty has always been regarded as something praiseworthy. Almost everyone thinks attractive people are happier and have more respectable jobs. But in the executive(主管的) circle, 31 can become a disadvantage.
While attractiveness is a positive factor for a man on his way up the executive ladder, it is 32
(harm) to a woman. Handsome male executives are considered having more honesty than plainer men; effort and ability usually lead 33 their success. Attractive female executives are considered to have less honesty than unattractive 34 ;people do not connect their success with ability 35 with factors such as luck. All unattractive women executives are thought to have more honesty and to be more capable than the attractive female executives. However, interestingly, the rise of the unattractive overnight successes 36 (connect) more to personal relationships and less to ability.
Attractive women are not thought to be able. This is true even in politics. Anne Bowman, a writer,
37 recently made a study, asked 125 undergraduate students to rank two groups of photographs, one of men and one of women, in order of attractiveness. And then the students were told the photographs were of candidates for political offices. They were asked to rank them again, in the order they would vote 38 them. The results showed that attractive males 39 (complete) defeated unattractive men, but the women 40 (rank) most attractive by the students unchangeably received the fewest votes.
