     More than one million children in the United States do not go to school. Instead, they learn at home.
They are taught by adults, like tutors (家庭教师).  1  Educational companies, libraries, and the Internet
provide many families with teaching material.
       2  Some choose it because of their religious beliefs. Others say it provides more time for the family
to be together. They say home offers a better place for learning. Some parents believe home-schooling
avoids problems of traditional schools. These include classes that have too many students. Critics,
however, say children need to attend school with other children.
     They also say that some home-schooled children do not get a good education.  3  Some states(州)
do not require much preparation made by parents or testing of children. Other states have more
requirements for home-schooling. Home-schooling in the United States began when the country was
established. In farm areas, people often lived far from a school. Widespread home-schooling took place
until about the middle of the 19th century. Then, in 1852, the state of Massachusetts passed the first law
requiring children to attend school.
     Over the years, the American public education system strengthened and grew. By the 1960s and
1970s, however, some Americans believed that traditional education was not helping their children.   4  
     Home-schooling expert Linda Dobson says many people have helped the movement grow. She says
some parents began teaching their children at home after changes in tax laws forced some private religious schools to close. That happened in the 1980s. And, most recently, she says many kinds of people have
joined the movement.  5  They represent many races, religions and political beliefs. Ms. Dobson says the
number of home-schooled children has increased by an estimated fifteen to twenty percent each year
during the last fifteen years.

A. So a number of parents began home-schooling.
B. They are mainly rich people.
C. However, all fifty American states and the District of Columbia permit home-schooling.
D. She says these include rich people and poor people.
D. Home-schooling is not accepted by all the people.
E. Parents choose home-schooling for several reasons.
F. Most often, their parents are their teachers.

     Maybe you have heard the expression "When in Rome, do as the Romans do". So when you want to
do business in France, you have to get to know French culture, to make marketing plans, and to run your
business by local laws.
         1   The French take great pride in their language, so anyone who does not speak it may run the
risk of being disrespected by his French colleagues or business partners. Also, another reason why
learning French is important is that it is a great way to show every possible French business partner that
you care and respect their country's culture and language.
     The first thing that you should do when meeting someone new is to shake his hand firmly and always
look the person in the eye. In social meetings with friends, kissing is common.
     Use first names only after being invited to.  2   The French will sometimes introduce themselves using
their surname first, followed by their first name.
     Dress well.    3   Your business clothing is a reflection of your success and social status. Always try to
be tasteful and stylish.  Women are advised to dress simply but elegantly.  Wearing make -up is practised widely by business women.
     The French are passionate about food, so lunches are common in doing business in France, which
usually consist of an appetizer, main meal with wine, cheese, dessert and coffee, and normally take up
to two hours.        4       
     Do not begin eating until the host says, "bon appetite". Pass dishes to the left, keep wrists above the
table and try to eat everything on the plate.    5   This may suggest that you find the food tasteless. If
eating in a restaurant, the person who invites always pays.

     Choosing the right job is probably one of the most important decisions we have to make in life, and it
is frequently one of the hardest decisions we have to make.
      1 There are people who can answer an insignificant(无关紧要) advertisement in the local paper and
land the best job in the world; others writes to all sorts of places, and never seem to get a reply at all,and
then there are those who, through no active decision of their own, just seem to be in the right place at the
right time.  2  He used to spend a lot of his free time down by the sea watching the tall ships, but never
thinking that he might one day sail one of them.One day, on his usual wandering, he heard the captain of
a ship complaining that he could not sail because one member of his crew was sick. Without stopping to
think, the young man offered to take his place.  3  
    This story also illustrates the importance of seizing an opportunity when it presents itself. If the young
man had gone home to ponder(考虑) his decision for a week, he might have missed his chance. It is one
thing to be offered an opportunity.  4  
     Sometimes we hear stories about people who break all rules and still seem to land the well-paid jobs.When you go for a jod interview or fill out an application,you are expected to say nice things about the

     Choose friends who make you feel happy!
     Not long ago, I opened an e-mail from Jennifer, a lady I knew through business in Guelph, Ontario,
Canada, "I have been seeing how I feel after interacting with different people and thinking who I feel good about,   1  "
     Then she invited me and eleven other women to a "Movie Night" to be held every six weeks at her
house. She promised we were sure to enjoy a good time.   2  She made it clear in her invitation that there was no pressure to show up to all or any movie nights. Wonderful!   3  I gratefully accepted her kind
invitation.
       4  Although all the women were eager to participate, some said they didn't see themselves as
optimistic people. "I told them they didn't have to be cheerful around me all the time. I invited them
because they made me feel happy," she says.
       5  In a US study, researchers measured the happiness of 4739 people at regular interval over 20
years. The study found that a person's happiness depends on the happiness of people they connect with.
Amazingly it also found that a person's happiness spreads not only between direct friends, but also
among friends of your friends' friends!

     Traditional fisheries may no longer be the world's most important provider of fish.  1 . The Food and
Agriculture Organization says aquaculture is growing by a rate of 6.6 percent a year.
     Aquaculture now produces forty-six percent of the world's supply of fish.  2 . The report also said
aquaculture earned more money in 2008 than traditional fisheries.
    In aquaculture, fish are raised in tanks or small bodies of water called ponds. They also are raised in
cages or nets in oceans, lakes and rivers.
     The report says increased aquaculture has helped people around the world eat record amounts of
fish.  3. But the FAO says the current yearly wild-fish harvest of 90 million tons shows no improvement.
Decreasing numbers of fish and stronger catch limits have reduced the possibilities for catching wild fish.
     The FAO report says about thirty-two percent of world supplies are overfished, depleted(大量削减)
or recovering. It said these supplies of fish need to be urgently rebuilt.
      4. They say the nets and cages permit fish diseases and pests to spread. Some aquaculture critics
doubt that aquaculture can keep growing at the current rate. But Wally Stevens of the trade group
Global Aquaculture Alliance says the industry must continue developing to feed growing populations.
     Mr. Stevens says a one hundred percent increase in fish farming over ten years is necessary to keep
providing for people at the current level. He notes that aquaculture creates jobs and wealth, especially
for people in coastal areas of China. The FAO reports that China remains the world's largest
fish-producing nation.  5.
A. Hungary is rich in waterways, but traditionally most Hungarians eat fish only at Christmastime.
B. A new United Nations report shows that fish farming or aquaculture may soon lead fish production.
C. Last week a study of one hundred ninety-nine countries and territories confirmed what many people
may have already noticed.
D. The FAO says each person ate an average of almost 17 kilograms of fish last year.
E. China produces more than sixty percent of the world's farmed fish.
F. That represents a forty-three percent increase from 2006.
G. Some scientists have criticized aquaculture.
