13．Homeschooling is the education of children at home，typically by parents but sometimes by tutors，rather than in public or private school．As a matter of fact，most childhood education occurred within the family or community．
Homeschooling is a legal choice for parents in developed countries to provide their children with a learning environment at home．Parents see many reasons for homeschool，including better test results，improved instruction，to help the public system with fewer kids，poor public school environment，religious reasons，improved character development，the expense of private education，and objection to what is taught locally in public school．
Homeschooling can also be a choice for families living in remote （遥远的） locations，living abroad，and to allow for more traveling．Also many young athletes and actors are taught at home，where a coach （教练） or tutor is with the child for many years and then knows the child very well．
In some places，an approved curriculum （课程） is required if children are to be home-schooled．In some cases a liberal arts （文科） education is provided．

Dear James，
Thanks for your letter．I'm delight that you're coming over and we're all looking forward to see you again．I can understand you are nervous about travelling by your own．Don't worry!We'll pick you at the airport．Telling me your flight number and arrival time，and we can meet you while you arrive，．Kate wonders if you can bring him some of the wonderful cheeses we eat in your parents'house last month．She keep talking about whether it should be a problem you will bring it into the country．Let me know as soon as you book your flight．
1．I'm Anne．I lived in Amsterdam in the Netherlands during World War II．I was from a（71）Jewish（Jew） family，so we had to hide away in order not （72）to be caught（catch） by the German Nazis．During that time it was because I hadn't been able to go （73）outdoors（outdoor） for so long （74）thatI grew so crazy about everything to do （75）with nature．I can still remember there was a time （76）when a deep blue sky，moonlight and flowers could never have kept me （77）spellbound（spellbind）．That's changed since I came here．Once，I stayed （78）awake（wake） on purpose until half past eleven．I decided to look at the moon at midnight by（79）myself（me）．But I didn't dare to open the window to see the night face to face because I was afraid of being discovered by the Nazis．It's no （80）pleasure（please） looking through dirty curtains any longer because nature is one thing that really must be experienced．
8．re you facing a situation that looks impossible to fix？
In 1969，the pollution was terrible along the Guyahoga River near Cleveland，Ohio．It（61）was（be）unimaginable that it could never be cleaned up．The river was so polluted that it（62）actually （ctual） caught fire and burned．Now，years later，this river is one of （63）the most understanding examples of environmental cleanup．
But the river wasn't changed in a few days （64）or even a few months．It took years of work 
（65）toreduce （reduce） the industrial pollution and clean the water．Finally，that hard work paid off and now the water in the river is （66）cleaner（clean） than ever．
May be you are facing an impossible situation．Maybe you have a habit （67）that/whichis drivi ng your family crazy．Possibly you drink too much or don't know how to control your credit card use．When you face such an impossible situation，don't you want a quick fix and something to change immediately？
While there are （68）amazing（amaze） stories of instant transformation，for most of us the （69）changes（change） are gradual and require a lot of effort and work，like cleaning up a polluted river．Just be （70）patient（patience）．
18．What is your favourite colour？Do you like yellow，orange，red？（71）D．Do you prefer greys and blues？Then you are probably quiet，shy，and you would rather follow than lead．You tend to be pessimist．At least，this is what psychologists tell us，and they should know，because they have been seriously studying the meaning of colour preference，as well as the effect that colours have on human beings（72）B．If you happen to love brown，you did so，as soon as you opened your eyes，or at least as soon as you could see clearly．
（73）G．A yellow room makes most people feel more cheerful and more relaxed than a dark green one； and a red dress brings warmth and cheer to the saddest winter day．（74）A．A black bridge over the Thames River，near London，used to be the scene of more suicides（自杀） than any other bridge in the area---until it was repainted green．The number of suicide attempts immediately fell sharply．Perhaps it would have fallen even more if the bridge had been done in pink or baby blue．
（75）E．It is a fact that factory workers work better，harder，and have fewer accidents when their machines are painted orange rather than black or grey．

A．On the other hand，black is depressing．
B．They tell us，among other facts，that we do not choose our favourite colour as grow up---we are born with our preference．
C．The rooms are painted in different colours as you like．
D．If you do，you must be an optimist，a leader，an active person who enjoys life，people and excitement．
E．Light and bright colours make people not only happier but more active．
F．Life is like a picture or a poem，full of different colours．
G．Colours do influence our moods---there is no doubt about it．
5．Sit up straight．Say please and thank you．Don't put your elbows on the table．Most of us were drilled from an early age in proper manners and etiquette．But manners and etiquette （33）canvary widely in different cultures．
Take table manners for example．In many parts of the world，it's considered rude to make noises when eating．The Japanese，however，think it customary to make some slurping（啧啧的） noises while eating noodles．They say the noodles taste better．A person who eats noodles （34）withoutmaking any sound could seem strange in Japan．
Another interesting cultural difference is portrayed in a TV advertisement （35）set（set） in an Asian city．It shows an Asian family inviting a westerner to dinner．The Asians prepare a lot of food to show the guest （36）theyare hospitable（殷勤好客的）．Westerners are taught to"clean their plates"and think it's impolite to leave food in the dishes．So the guest tries to finish his meal without leaving （37）anythingon his dishes．However，an Asian host sees an empty dish as a sign （38）thatthe guest wants more food．In the ad，the host immediately prepares more food for the guest，who tries to finish his food again just to show his manners．It becomes a circle of misunderstanding．
Differences are also seen in other aspects．While extending a hand to shake the hand of a person you're meeting with （39）seems（seem） to most of us a universal way of showing friendliness，an Orthodox Jew （东正犹太教徒） will not shake hands with someone of the opposite sex．Similarly，a strict Muslim woman will not shake hands with a man，though a Muslim man will shake hands with a non-Muslim woman．People in these cultures generally avoid （40）touching（touch） people of the opposite sex who are not family members．
2．Many people becamehomeless（无家可归）because of the earthquake．
