33、onal students. Our students can expect to enjoy a supportive, friendly home while adjusting to Australian culture and the community they will be living in. Our program includes:* Homestay management and support throughout the entire homestay experience* Extensive national criminal background checks

39、hats the purpose of the passage?A. To encourage students to study in Australia. B. To advertise houses to international students. C. To share a cultural exchange experience.D. To promote an Australian homestay program.BMom was wrong when she taught me that “sticks and stones may break my bones, but
40、names will never hurt me”. Names do hurtnames can shame, ridicule, and humiliate (羞辱 ). Some relate to raceor gender; others refer to weight, facial features, or a particular part of ones body. Names that refer to social class or what part of the country youre from can be hurtful, as can names that
41、involve age, religion, or physical ability. Certainly, no one likes to be called a name that is disrespectful, unkind, or mean. But there is another category of name-calling that is also hurtful and destructive: names such as “racist,” “sexist,” and the like. Yet many throw these labels around at th
42、e drop of a hat, without understanding what the labels actually mean, not to mention the damage done by accusing someone of racism, sexism, etc. The accusation alone can be enough to ruin a reputation, kill a career, or be used to discredit a lifetime of good work.Lets consider the definition of rac
43、ism: “a belief that race is the primary determinant of human characteristics and capacities and that racial difference produces a superiority of a particular race”. How about the definition of sexism: “prejudice or discrimination based on sex, especially discrimination against women”. I wonder, do t

While th
45、e original intention of political correctness may have been good (to encourage sensitivity to others feelings around issues of gender, race, religion, sexual orientation, physical abilities, and such), the effect of political correctness has been to make everyone avoid these topics altogether, there

Its gone so far that political correctness has become a bigger problem than the problem it was intended to address! These days everyone is so afraid of being called “sexist” or “racist” or some oth
47、er career-killing label, that we all tiptoe carefully around diversity issues, and avoid them altogether if we possibly can.But the question is: How are we ever going to be able to live and work together more comfortably if we cant talk about our feeling, fears, anxieties, assumptions, hopes, worrie
48、s, dreams, and concerns? How can we ever build trust with those who are different from us? If we must constantly self-examine any conversation relating to race, gender, religion, sexual orientation or physical ability, then we arebound to perpetuate the very barriers we say we want to overcome.58.Wh
49、ich of the following is TRUE according to the passage?A. There are different types of hurtful and destructive name-calling. B. TV presenters are careful when they accuse someone of racism. C. We should avoid talking about diversity issues altogether.D.
