In her new book, “The Smartest Kids in the World”， Amanda Ripley, an investigative journalist, tells the story of Tom, a high­school student from Gettysburg, Pennsylvania, who decides to spend his senior year in Wroclaw, Poland. Poland is a surprising educational success story: in the past decade, the country raised students' test scores from significantly below average to well above it. Polish kids have now outscored American kids in math and science, even though Poland spends, on average, less than half as much per student as the United States does. One of the most striking differences between the high school Tom attended in Gettysburg and the one he ends up at in Wroclaw is that the latter has no football team or teams of any kind.
That American high schools spend more time and money on sports than on math is an old complaint. In December, when the latest Program for International Student Assessment (PISA) results are announced, it's safe to predict that American high­school students will once again show their limited skills in math and reading, outscored not just by students in Poland but also by students in places like China, Finland, Singapore, and Japan. Meanwhile, they will have played some very exciting football games, which will have been breathlessly written up in their hometown papers.
Why does this situation continue? Well, for one thing, kids like it. And for another, according to Ripley, parents seem to like the arrangement, too. She describes a tour she took of a school in Washington D．C．, which costs thirty thousand dollars a year. The tour leader—a mother with three children in the school—was asked about the school's flaws (瑕疵). When she said that the math program was weak, none of the parents taking the tour reacted. When she said that the football program was weak, the parents suddenly became concerned. “Really？” one of them asked worriedly, “What do you mean？”
One of the ironies of the situation is that sports show what is possible. American kids' performance on the field shows just how well they can do when expectations are high. It's too bad that their test_scores_show_the_same_thing._

文章大意：本文是一篇情景对话。本对话主要谈到了作为homestay家庭的一些具体要求。
答案：
1．who/that　考查定语从句。空格处所在句子是一个定语从句，且定语从句的先行词是“families”，在从句中作主语。故填who/that。
2．are invited　考查动词的语态。依据上下文的语境可知，“they”与invite之间在规律上是被动关系，且说明的是一般的状况。故填are invited。
3．within　考查介词。依据下文的“not beyond 30 minutes' traveling time”可知，此处指与学校的距离在一个合理范围内。故填within。within a distance of意为“在……距离之内”。
4．each　考查代词。依据上文的“Does every student stay with...”和下文的“with a family”可知，空格处所填词表“每一”的含义，且空格处应填代词。故填 each。
5．to obey　考查非谓语动词。expect sb. to do sth.意为“期望某人做某事”。故填to obey。
6．or　考查连词。“single”与“shared”之间是选择关系，故填or。
7．normally　考查副词。修饰动词“share”应当用副词。故填normally。
8．has shown　考查动词的时态。“so far”经常与现在完成时连用。依据前面的“So far”可以推出，此处应填has shown。
9．what　考查代词。空格处在此引导宾语从句且在从句中作“to”的宾语。故填what。
10．as　考查连词。句意为：入乡随俗。When in Rome, do as the Romans do.是固定的俗语。故填as。
