"It takes an entire village to raise a child." That's an old proverb (谚语) that is being quoted more and more often these days. And I'm pleased about that.

Today, more and more schools are reaching out to involve parents, community members and businesses(工商企业)to help shape a child's future.

Parents need to be involved in their children's education in many ways. Helping children with homework and studying, going on a field trip, teaching a craft(手工艺)or coaching a child's sports team are all great ways to be involved with your child's education. And don't forget to communicate with teachers ---- they need and respect your input. Studies show that children learn more and schools function better when parents and schools work together. It's important to stay in touch with your child's education all through his or her school career.

Communities can help children create and achieve new goals. Help with homework, read to a child, coach a children's team, or provide emotional(情感上的)support. Help solve problems and build self-esteem(自尊心). Kids need role models and advisers can be role models by sharing their experiences and wisdom.

Businesses can also help shape our children's future. Invite a class from your local school to visit your workplace. You may be providing a glimpse that opens a new world of possibilities. Show students what goes on during a typical day. Give a mini course for students: how to use a computer; how products are made; how machinery works. You may have a developing electrician, teacher, nurse, or even a newspaper reporter on your hands.

It really does take an entire village to raise a child.So share the responsibility(职责)-- and the joy -- of bringing a child to his or her full potential(潜能).

The implied advice in the proverb "It takes an entire village to raise a child." is that ______.

       A.All the people in a village should give food to a child.

       B.Schools, parents, and other organizations should share the responsibility of shaping a

child's future.

       C.Children should be brought up in the village where they were born.

       D.Schools should be set up in the village where a child was raised.

The text was written mainly for ______.

       A.parents and members in organizations

       B.teachers and students

       C.newspaper reporters and developing electricians

       D.education experts and government officials

Students can get developed in practical working skill through ______.

       A.parental involvement      B.community activities

       C.business training            D.school teaching

Which is NOT true according to the passage?

       A.Parents play an important part in children’s education.

       B.Communities have not a bit effect on the way to new and high ideal.

       C.Educating a child well demands of the work not only from school but from other

organizations.

       D.Businesses may arrange some training courses for students.

【小题1】B

【小题2】A

【小题3】C

【小题4】B


解析:

这是一篇教育类短文。文章阐述的是“孩子们的成才需要社会各界的共同参与”。

【小题1】句义推测题,解答此题切不可从字面上理解,谚语中的an entire village不是“全村庄”之意,应该引申为“社会各界”,即:短文中的“parents, community members and businesses”。

【小题2】主旨意图题,综合全文可以推断作者的写作意图是“号召人们参与孩子的教育和培养”,所以此文主要为“parents and members in organizations”所作。

【小题3】从倒数第二段中可以看出,“孩子们的实践操作能力主要来自工商企业的培训”。

【小题4】not a bit意为“一点也不,根本没有”,等于“not at all”。第四段的意义可验证答案。

An eight-year-old child heard her parents talking about her little ___1______ All she knew was that he was very sick and they had no money left. When she heard her daddy say to her 2         mother with whispered desperation(绝望), "Only a miracle(奇迹) can save him now", the little girl went to her bedroom and took out her piggy bank.

When several different people look at the same person, it’s not unusual for each of them to see different things; when you alone observe one behavior or one person at two different times, you may see different things. The following are but some of the factors that lead to these changing perceptions(感知认可)

(1) Each person’s perceptions of others are formed by his or her own cultural conditioning education, and personal experiences.

(2) Sometimes perceptions differ because of what we choose to observe and how we deal with what we’ve observed. It is not necessarily true that person’s perception is based on observations of a particular person. Your observations may be totally controlled by what others have told you about this per??son; or you may focus (聚集) primarily on the situation or role relationship. Most people do not use the same yardstick (标准)to measure their parents, their friends, and strangers.

(3) Sometimes we see only what we want to see or don’t see what may be obvious to others because of our own needs, desires, or temporary emotional states. This is a process known as selective perception. Selective perception is obviously more difficult when contradictory (矛盾的) information is particular??ly obvious, but it can be done. We can ignore (忽视) the stimulus He’s basically a good boy so what I saw was not shoplifting.

We can reduce the importance of the contradictory information — All kids (孩子) get into mischief (顽皮). Taking a book from the bookstore isn’t such a big deal. "We can change the meaning of the contradictory information." It wasn’t shoplifting because he was going to pay for it later. (from www.nmet113.com)

Most people feel lonely sometimes, but it usually lasts only a few minutes or a few hours.This kind of loneliness is not serious.In fact, it is quite normal.For some people, though, loneliness can last for years.Now researchers say there are three different kinds of loneliness.

The first kind of loneliness is temporary.This is the most common type.It usually disappears quickly and does not need any special attention.

The second kind, situational loneliness, is a natural result of a certain situation, for example, a family problem, the death of a loved one, or moving to a new place.Although this kind of loneliness can cause physical problems, such as headaches and sleeplessness, it usually does not last for more than a year.

The third kind of loneliness is the most severe.Unlike the second type, chronic (长期的) loneliness usually lasts more than two years and has no specific cause.People who experience habitual loneliness have problems socializing and being close to others.Unfortunately, many chronically lonely people think there is little or nothing they can do to improve their condition.

Psychologists agree that one important factor in loneliness is a person's social contacts, such as friends, family members, co-workers, etc.We depend on various people for different reasons.For instance, our families give us emotional support, our parents and teachers give us guidance, and our friends share interests and activities.However, psychologists have found that, though lonely people have many social contacts, they sometimes feel they should have more.They question then" own popularity.

Psychologists are trying to find ways to help habitually lonely people for two reasons: they are unhappy and unable to socialize and there is a connection between chronic loneliness and serious illness such as heart disease.While temporary and situational loneliness can be a normal and healthy part of life, chronic loneliness can be a very sad and sometimes dangerous condition.

1.Which of the following can be the cause of situational loneliness?

A.Sleeplessness.                  B.Changing work.

C.Heart disease.                  D.Social contacts.

2.The underlined word "it" in the last sentence of the third paragraph refers to _____ .

A.headaches     B.situational loneliness

C.sleeplessness D.temporary loneliness

3.How would you treat temporary loneliness according to the passage?

A.Just ignore it.                                   B.Talk to friends.

C.Go to see a doctor.             D.Ask your teachers for guidance.

4.What can we learn from the passage?

A.People feel lonely in a certain situation.

B.There are only three types of loneliness in our life.

C.Loneliness doesn't affect people much.

D.Scientists have found ways to help habitually lonely people.

 

Aimlessness has hardly been typical of the postwar Japan whose productivity and social harmony are the envy of the United States and Europe. But increasingly the Japanese are seeing a decline of the traditional work-moral values. Ten years ago young people were hardworking and saw their jobs as their primary reason for being, but now Japan has largely fulfilled its economic needs, and young people don't know where they should go next.

The coming of age of the postwar baby boom and an entry of women into the male-dominated job market have limited the opportunities of teenagers who are already questioning the heavy personal sacrifices involved in climbing Japans rigid social ladder to good schools and jobs. In a recent survey, it was found that only 24.5 percent of Japanese students were fully satisfied with school life, compared with 67.2 percent of students in the United States. In addition, far more Japanese workers expressed dissatisfaction with their jobs than their counterparts did in the ten other countries surveyed.

While often praised by foreigners for its emphasis on the basics, Japanese education tends to stress test taking and mechanical learning over creativity and self-expression." Those things that do not show up in the test scores, personality, ability, courage or humanity are completely ignored," says Toshiki Kaifu, chairman of the ruling Liberal Democratic Party's education committee." Frustration against this kind of thing leads kids to drop out and run wild." Last year Japan experienced 2,125 incidents of school violence, including 929 assaults on teachers. Amid the outcry, many conservative leaders are seeking a return to the prewar emphasis on moral education. Last year Mitsuo Setoyama, who was then education minister, raised eyebrows when he argued that liberal reforms introduced by the American occupation authorities after World WarⅡ had weakened the "Japanese morality of respect for parents."

But that may have more to do with Japanese life-styles." In Japan," says educator Yoko Muro, "it’s never a question of whether you enjoy your job and your life, but only how much you can endure." With economic growth becoming centralization, fully 76 percent of Japans, 119 million citizens live in cities where community and the extended family have been abandoned in favor of isolated, two generation households. Urban Japanese have long endured lengthy commutes (travels to and from work) and crowded living conditions, but as the old group and family values weaken, the discomfort is beginning to tell. In the past decade, the Japanese divorce rate, while still well below that of the United States, has increased by more than 50 percent, and suicides have increased by nearly one-quarter.

1. In the Westerners eyes, the postwar Japan was_____ .

 A. under aimless development          B. a positive example

 C. a rival to the West                    D. on the decline

2.According to the author, what may chiefly be responsible for the moral decline of Japanese society?

 A. Women's participation in social activities is limited.

 B. More workers are dissatisfied with their jobs.

 C. Excessive emphasis has been placed on the basics.

 D. The life-style has been influenced by Western values.

3.Which of the following is true according to the author?

 A. Japanese education is praised for helping the young climb the social ladder.

 B. Japanese education is characterized by mechanical learning as well as creativity.    

 C. More stress should be placed on the cultivation of creativity.

 D. Dropping out leads to frustration against test taking.

4. The change in Japanese life-style is revealed in the fact that____.

 A. the young are less tolerant of discomforts

 B. the divorce rate in Japan exceeds that in the U.S.

 C. the Japanese endure more than ever before

 D. the Japanese appreciate their present life
