3．All over the world mentioning of English education suggests a picture of the"public schools"，and it suggests in particular the names of certain very famous institutions-Eton，Oxford and Cambridge； but people do not always realize what place these institutions occupy in the whole educational system．Oxford and Cambridge are universities each having about 12，000students out of a total of over 250，000students at all British universities．Eton is a public school，and the best known of the public schools，which，in spite of their name，are not really public at all，but independent and private secondary schools taking boys from the age of thirteen to eighteen years．The public schools in reality form a very small part of the whole system of secondary education； only about one out of forty English boys go to a public school，and one out of 1，500goes to Eton．
Apart from the so-called public schools there is a complete system of state primary and secondary education，which resembles in its general form the state education in most other countries．All children must，by law，receive full-time education between the ages of five and sixteen．Any child may attend，without paying fees，a school provided by the public authorities，and the great majority attend such schools．They may continue，still without paying fees，until they are eighteen．In presenting an overall picture of English education it would be reasonable to concentrate on the state system alone and refer briefly to the public schools．However，although the public schools are not important numerically，they have been England's most peculiar and characteristic contribution to educational methods，and they have an immense influence on the whole of English educational practice and on the English social structure．For a hundred years most men in leading positions in banking，insurance，high finance，some industries，the army，the church and conservative politics have been educated at public schools．

2．Movie producers love the idea，partly because it's so afraid and partly because it could really happen．The scene is this：an asteroid（小行星） is rushing toward Earth．A collision is unavoidable．When this happens，lots of people will die．
In the movies，a brave hero thinks of a clever plan to destroy the asteroid and save Earth．In real life，scientists have come up with more reasonable plans that might actually work if this situation comes up．
One way，say scientists and astronauts，is a 20ton spacecraft called a gravitational tractor．First，the tractor，would move quickly up to the threatening asteroid and stop a short distance away．It would hang there，firing its thrusters just enough to fight the force of gravity between the spacecraft and the asteroid．
The tractor could then use its own gravity to pull the asteroid off course．It would take about a year for the spacecraft to draw an asteroid away from Earth's path．
The question is that the spacecraft would have to arrive at the asteroid about 20years before it hits Earth．It would be easier then to move the asteroid out of the way than it would be if the asteroid was near the Earth．
Still，the tractor idea is better than many ways proposed years ago for asteroid avoidance．Exploding asteroids，for example，wouldn't work because the rocky bodies are too full of air．
Don't spend too much time worrying about asteroids'falling on your house，however．The chances of a collision happening in your lifetime are very small．If ，though，scientists will do everything they can to keep you from getting hurt．Sounds very heroic to me!

[3]In the middle of her desk was a large，round object．I could clearly see that it was black．She asked the boy what color the object was．"White，"he answered．

20．[1]Whether you're recovering from a foot injury or working hard to prevent one，a proper warm-up before athletic activity is important．You should start with a general warm-up．This is intended to get your heart rate up and your muscle groups warm．Walking，gentle jogging or basic aerobics （有氧运动） are all good places to start．The general warm-up should increase your heart rate and speed up breath so that your blood becomes oxygen-rich and carries nutrients to the muscle groups you're about to work．
[2]After the general warm up，move on to basic stretching，which doesn't require a lot of movement．Stretch your legs，ankles，feet，arms，chest and back．After completing these basic stretches，you can move on to sport-specific stretching．They should focus on the muscle groups you're about to engage and prepare your body for the types of movements the sport requires．
[3]Failure to warm up properly before athletics can result in injuries．So don't forget to stretch your feet and ankles when warming up!Point and bend your feet．Gently roll your ankle in one direction，and then in the other direction．Rise up on your toes and then gently rock back so that your weight is on your heels．
[4]Cooling down after physical activity is just warming up．First stretch the muscle groups and parts of the body you just worked the hardest．Then move on to general body stretching．And finally，cool down with a gentle aerobic activity that will gradually return your heartbeat to its resting rate．
[5]Properly fitting athletic shoes are also important to preventing foot injuries．Look for athletic shoes specific to your foot type．People with high arches （足弓） should buy shoes which have a lot of support，and people with fallen arches should look for shoes that advertise motion control．Buy your athletic shoes a half size bigger than your normal size as feet tend to increase in size when you exercise．

[1]It's a fine line parents walk as they try to guide their kids into adulthood．You want to protect but not treat too kindly，advise but not control and let them live their own lives-with some input，of course．
[2]When your child asks for help or advice，give only what was asked for．If your Child asks you to tie a particular hard-to-tie knot（绳结）for a project she is working on，just tie the knot．Don't start helping with the rest of the project or making suggestions on how to do it．She wants to do it herself，in her own way．Before                 which your child has not askd for，count to ten．Perhaps in those seconds you'll decide that the advice would do no good，or isn't really that important，and you'll drop it．If the advice still seems important，you will give it，but the pause may lead you to give it in a more thoughtful way．
[3]Remember that your child is not you and is not a reflection of you．We mak a serious mistake if we try to shape our children into copies of ourselves，or if we think of them as extensions or reflections of ourselves．We need to help them to be them，not try to turn them into us or into something that we think will make us look good．
[4]Our primary responsibility to our children is not that of telling them moment-to-moment or day-to-day how to behave but providing them with a healthy environment in which to develop．For example，one of the best ways you can help your kids is to work with your community to create safe-enough outdoor places to play in your neighborhood．
