However important we may regard school life to be, there is always the fact that children spend more time at home than in the classroom. Therefore, the teacher should realize that parents have a great influence on their children. Parents can become strong allies (助手) of the school or they can get in the way of the school education.

Experts have realized the need to keep parents informed of the newer methods used in schools. Many headmasters have conducted workshops explaining such matters as the reading readiness, program writing and mathematics to parents.

Moreover, the classroom teacher, with the permission of the supervisors(管理者), can also play an important part in giving more knowledge to reporting pupils progress, teachers can help parents a lot in educating their children and parents can give much help to teachers.

Suppose that a father has been drilling Junior arithmetic lessons night after night. In a friendly talk between the teacher and the father, the teacher can help the parent to make Junior interested in it. He might be persuaded to let Junior join in discussing the family budget, buying the food, using a ruler or measuring cup at home, setting the clock, calculating the distance of a trip and engaging in scores of other activities that have a mathematical basis.

If the father follows the advice, it is reasonable to say that he will soon realize that his son is making satisfactory progress in mathematics, and at the same time, enjoying the work.

Too often, however, teachers’ talks with parents are devoted to small accounts of children’s misdemeanors(不良行為). They talk about the laziness and poor work habits of the children.

What is needed is a more creative way in which the teacher, as an adviser, plants ideas in parents’ minds to make sure that the child spends the many hours out of the classroom learning something useful.

In this way the school and the home join forces in educating children.

1.The main idea of the passage is that ____.

A. home training is more important than school training

B. parents should help their children to do their homework

C. there’re many ways in which the mathematics program can be carried out at home

D. teachers can and should help parents to use better ways to teach their children 2.From this passage we can know that the writer ____.

A. is satisfied with the relationship between school and home

B. feels that parent-teacher talks can be made much more constructive

C. believes that schools can’t teach pupils well

D. calls on parents to teach their children mathematics at home

3.What way that the writer doesn’t talk about can improve the present situation?

A. Classes for parents.         B. New type of report card.

C. Parent-teacher talk.         D. Dinner or party.

4.The writer implies that ____.

A. interesting activities can improve one’s achievement

B. too many children are lazy and have poor work habits

C. teachers should often make home visits to parents

D. headmasters do more than teachers in this area

5.We can infer from the passage that the writer does not favor ____.

A. father’s helping his son with his study

B. written reports to the parents from the teachers

C. talking about children’s shortcomings

D. having the parents help their children with their lessons

D
　　In the atmosphere,carbon dioxide actd rather like a one-way mirror or the glass in the roof of a greenhouse which allows the sun's rays to enter but prevents the heat from excaping.
　　According to a weather expert's prediction,the atmosphere will be 3 warmer in the year 2050 than it is today, if man continues to burn luels at the present rate. If this warming up took place,the ice caps in the poles would begin to melt,thus raising sea level several meters and severely flooding coastal cities.Also，the increase in atmospheric temperature would lead to great changes in the climate of the northern hemisphere(半球),psooicbly resulting in an alteration of earth's chief food growing zones.
　　In the past,concern about a man - made warming of the earth has concentrated on the Arctic because the Antarctic is much colder and has a much thicker ice sheet.But the weather experts are now paying more attention to West Antarctic,which may be affected by a warming on the scale that will possibly take place in the next fifty years from on burning of fuels.
　　Satellite pictures showthat large areas of Antarctic ice are already disappearing.The evidence available suggests that a warming has taken place.This fits the theory that carbon dioxide warms the earth.
　　However,most of the fuel is burnt in the northern hemisphere,where temperatures seem to be falling.Scientists conclude,therefore,that up to now natural influences on the weather have exceeded those caused by man.The question is:Which natural cause has most effect on the weather?
　　One possibility is the variable behavior of the sun.Astronomers at one research station have studied the hot spots and cold spots(that is,the relatively less hot spots) on the sun. As the sun rotates(旋轉(zhuǎn)),every 27.5 days,it presents hotter or colder faces to the earth,and different aspects to different parts of the earth.This seems to have a considerable effect on the distribution of the earth's atmospheric pressure,and consequently on wind circulation.The sun is also variable over a long term:its heat output goes up and down in cycles,the latest trend being downward.
　　Scientists are now finding mutual relations between models of solar weather interactions and the actual climate over many thousands of years ,including the last Ice Age.The problem is that the models are predicting that the world should be entering a new Ice Age and it is not.
　　One way of solving this theoretical difficulty is to assume a delay of thousands of years while the solar effects overcome the inertia(不活動(dòng)，惰性) of the earth's climate.If this is right,the warming effect of carbon dioxide might thus be serving as a useful counter balance to the sun's diminishing heat.
　　68.It can be concluded that a concentration of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere would ___.
　　　A.mean a warming - up im the Arctic
　　　B.raise the temperature of the earth's surface
　　　C.prevent the sun's rays from reaching the earth's surface
　　　D.account for great changes in the climate in the northern hemiphere
　　69.Although the fuel consumption is greater in the northern hemisphere,temperatures there seem to be falling.This is _______.
　　　A.mainly because the levels of carbon dioxide are rising
　　　B.partly due to variations in the output of solar energy
　　　C.possibly because the ice caps in the poles are melting
　　　D.exclusively due to the effect of the inertia of the earth's climate
　　70.On the basis of their models,scientists are of the opinion that ________.
　　　A.the climate of the world should be becoming cooler
　　　B.the new Ice Age will be delayed by the greenhouse effect
　　　C.the man - made warming effect helps to increase the solar effects
　　　D.it will take thousands of years for the inertia of the earth's climate to take effect

When I was growing up, 16 was always a magical age, a symbol of maturity, responsibility and of course more independence and freedom.  I sat through the hours of Driver’s Ed classes eager to get out on the road. I couldn’t wait to get my driver’s license.
But it’s a different story for today’s teens. In January, the U.S. Department Transportation released 2012 data that showed only 30.7 percent of U.S. teens got their license at age 16, Twenty years before, that number was almost 45 percent.
There are numbers of reasons for the fall – off. The growing responsibilities like paying for insurance and high gas prices discourage teens from getting behind the wheel. Plus, many teens today are so busy with homework, endless hours of activities and part-time jobs, that finding the time for Driver’s Ed classes may be more difficult that ever.
In addition, many states have raised the driving age, or restricted when teens can drive and who they can have in the car. Parents may also be making their own personal restrictions until they feel their teens are responsible enough to drive safely.
Driving is part of the American culture, but it’s not the central focus like it was 25 years ago. They have so many other things to do now. One of the more interesting factors delaying teens driving might be the change of their social life. Today, teens need to look no further than Face book or other social networking sites to connect with their friends. There is simply less need, maybe less desire, to be able to grab the keys and go.
Michelle Wei got her license as a senior in high school because her digital social life made it easy no to drive. “If I couldn’t get a ride to see my friend who lives a town over,” the 19-year-old said, “I could talk on IM or Skype.”
Research has shown that these online relationships can lead to higher quality friendships, so it isn’t necessarily a bad thing. However, it’s important to find a balance. If old face-to-face friendships are good, why not drive to find them?
【小題1】We can infer from the first paragraph that         .

A．Driver’s Ed classes allowed teens to know what maturity was
B．getting a driving license at 16 was a must for American teens
C．16 was considered an age when one could get his driver’s license
D．teens could drive on the road without taking Driver’s Ed classes

A．Desire to drive on the road declines among American teens.
B．Getting a license costs much more than ever before.
C．Social networking sites are changing the life of American teens.
D．American teens are becoming more responsible than ever.
【小題3】Michelle’s Wei’s example is used to explain ________.
A．why American teens are crazy about digital social life
B．what social networking websites are bringing to American teens
C．to what degree the Internet is affecting the American car culture

閱讀表達(dá)。
閱讀下面的短文，并根據(jù)短文后的要求答題
     With many job postings(公開招聘) now requiring candidates (應(yīng)聘者) to apply via e-mail, first impressions
are made not with a handshake but with words on a computer screen.
     Just like it's usually a good idea to dress best for an interview, e-mails also should be refined. _____, here
are some tips:
     ☆Forget what instant messaging has taught you.
     Recruiters (招聘人員) report that young professionals often send overly casual e-mails, treating an
application like an instant message (IM). When using IM with friends and acquaintances, it's acceptable to use
shortened forms of words or phrases and incomplete sentences. In business correspondence (信函), however,
stick to the rules your Chinese and English teachers taught you.
     ☆Don't be cool.
     Your lovely e-mail background of pets playing with each other has got to go. Comic fonts (字體) are
unprofessional. HR managers (人力資源經(jīng)理) recommend plain fonts such as Times New Roman or Arial,
and black text on a white background. They also warn against sending e-mails from strange addresses.
Littlebird@ or Chinatiger@ might not get what you hope for.
     ☆Don't be too creative in the subject line (標(biāo)題).
     Use plain, simple language like "Talented candidate seeking position as [name of position]" or"Enthusiastic
candidate seeking position with [name of company]". Use one word to describe yourself, but do not go to
extremes.
     The same rules apply to a paper resume (簡歷) and cover letter. Recruiters have only seconds to devote
to each cover letter they receive. Many look at just three things: the positions you've held, the companies
you've worked for,and your educational background. Anything else, such as a long story about yourself, can
get in the way.

1. What's the purpose of this passage?(please answer within 15 words)
_____________________________________________________________________________
2. Which sentence in the passage can be replaced by the following one? You should avoid using
    very cool or lovely background in your application e-mail.
______________________________________________________________________________
3. Please fill in the blank in the second paragraph with proper words or phrases to complete the
    sentence.( please answer within 10 words)
_____________________________________________________________________________
4. According to the passage, what should an e-mail application be like?
    ( please answer within 10 words)
_____________________________________________________________________________
5. Translate the underlined sentence in the last paragraph into Chinese.
______________________________________________________________________________
