  For the kids in the Martin family, the usual morning ritual of getting ready for school and onto the school bus is a foreign concept.They live as if school didn't exist.They're at home all day, but they're not being homeschooled.They're being “unschooled”.There are no textbooks, no tests and no formal education at all in their work.

  It's a philosophy that makes sense to a small but growing number of parents.Unschooling is legal in many states, and now there are at least 150,000 unschooled families nationwide.

  “Just picture life without school.We wake up, and have breakfast, and we just start pursuing what we're interested in,” said Dayna Martin, a mother of four in Madison, N.H.

  Martin doesn't believe her kids need to go to school to learn their ABCs.It's part of a radical(彻底的)new approach to education and parenting." I just personally don't believe that humans learn best when they're trying to learn something that somebody else is telling them to," she said.And her hands-off(不干涉的)approach extends to other areas of the children's lives.The kids are allowed to eat whatever they want as long as it is in the house.

  What's more, they make their own decisions, and don't have chores or rules.“Because I don't punish them, and I don't use the term rules,” Martin said.“Sometimes people come over and spend time with us, family or friends.They'll ask me, ‘How do your kids learn if they're having fun all day?' So they don't equate learning with fun,” she said.“Whatever they're interested in, I try to bring as much of that into their life as possible with as many resources as possible.”

  Martin said she has “such a present-based mind-set” that she doesn't think about her kids' futures, and that she just wants them to be happy.

Federal regulators Wednesday approved (批准a plan to create a nationwide emergence alert(警报)system using text messages delivered to cell phones.
Text messages have exploded in popularity in recent years, particularly among young people. The wireless industry's trade association, CTIA, estimates(估计)more than 48billion text messages are sent each month.
The plan comes from the Warning Alert and Response Network Act, a 2006 federal law that requires improvements to the nation's emergency alert system. The act tasked the Federal Communications Commission(FCC)with coming up with new ways to alert the public about emergencies.
"The ability to deliver accurate and timely warnings and alerts through cell phones and other mobile services is an important next step in our efforts to help ensure that the American public has the information they need to take action to protect themselves and their families before, and during, disasters and other emergencies," FCC Chairman Kevin Martin said following approval of the plan.
Participation in the alert system by carriers -telecommunications companies is voluntary, but it has received solid support from the wireless industry.
The program would be optional for cell phone users. They also may not be charged for receiving alerts.
There would be three different types of messages, according to the rules.
The first would be a national alert from the president, likely involving a terrorist attack or natural disaster. The second would involve "approaching threats," which could include natural disasters like hurricanes or storms or even university shootings. The third would be reserved for child abduction(绑架)emergencies, or so-called Amber Alerts.
The service could be in place by 2010.
【小题1】What is the purpose of the approved plan?

A.To warn people of emergencies via messages.
B.To popularize the use of cell phones.

阅读下面短文,并根据短文后的要求答题(请注意问题后的字数要求)。

[1]It may help you to know that there is no such thing as a perfect speech. At some point in every speech, every speaker says something that is not understood exactly as he has planned. Fortunately, such moments are usually not obvious to the listeners.Why? Because the listeners do not know what the speaker plans to say.They hear only what the speaker does say.If you lose your pace for a moment, wrongly change the order of a couple of sentences, or forget to pause at a certain point, no one will notice your mistake. When such moments occur, don't_______.Just continue as if nothing happened.

[2]Even if you do make an obvious mistake during a speech, that doesn't really matter.If you have ever listened to Martin Luther King's famous speech—” I Have a Dream", you may notice that he stumbles (结巴) over his words twice during the speech.Most likely, however, you don't remember.Why? Because you were concentrating your attention on his message rather than on his way of speech-making.

[3]People care a lot about making a mistake in a speech because they regard speech-making as a kind of performance rather than as an act of communication.They feel the listeners are like judges in an ice-skating competition.But, in fact, the listeners are not looking for a perfect performer.They are looking for a well-thought-out speech that expresses the speaker's ideas clearly and directly.Sometimes a mistake or two can actually increase a speaker's attractiveness by making him more human.

[4]As you work on your speech, don't worry about being imperfect.Once you free your mind of this, you will find it much easier to give your speech freely.
