At the sight of the snake, the girl stood there, ________(tremble) with fear and unable to move.

 

When was the last time you did something really fun with one of your parents—just the two of you?

Parents who take their young children to music, swimming and art classes often stop arranging such activities once their kids are older and in school all day. But it doesn't have to be that way. Doing something enjoyable with your kids just might make you look at each other in a whole new way, especially if you do it through a class or an event. When parent and child become students together, it puts them on the same level, at least for a while.

“I really like parents to come to class with their kids—they start sharing things and talking about what they're doing and what they like，” said art teacher Pyper Dixon.

However, finding something new in common is a big choice for them, especially when kids get involved in sports and other after?school activities. But it's possible to learn a new skill or hobby together.

That's certainly true of Lauren, 11, of Silver Spring, who is in Dixon's class with her father, Dennis. “I was just going to drop her off，” Dennis said, “but Dixon persuaded me to stay.”

Now Lauren gets to nag her father about doing his art homework. “He always leaves it to the last minute，” she said.“But then he'll turn around to do amazing drawings，” she added, “We have different styles of drawing, so it's interesting to talk it over with him.”

Without the Saturday morning art class, Dennis said, he would be reading the paper, and Lauren would be on her own in her room or on the computer. But they talk more now. “I can't think of an experience where you communicate with your kid so closely，” he said.

1.The author raises the question at the beginning to ________.

A．expect an answer

B．criticize some parents

C．introduce the topic

D．support his argument

2.What does Dixon think is the benefit of parent and child studying art together?

A．The two will become equal.

B．The two will communicate more.

C．The child will learn art much better.

D．The parent will learn something new.

3.The underlined word “nag” in the text probably means ______.

A．urge　　　　　　　　　B．help

C．ignore D．teach

4.We can learn from the text that ________.

A．Lauren used to talk a lot with her father

B．Dennis enjoys studying art with Lauren

C．Lauren dislikes her father's drawings

D．Dennis likes playing computer games

Adrian’s “Amazing Race” started early when his parents realized that he, as a baby, couldn’t hear a thing, not even loud noises. In a special school for the hearing-impaired (听觉受损的)，he learned sign language and got to mix with other disabled children. However, the sight of all the disabled children communicating with one another upset his mother. She wanted him to lead a normal life. So after speaking to an advisor, she sent him to private classes where he learned to read lips and pronounce words.

Later on, Adrian’s parents decided to send him to a regular school. But the headmaster tried to prevent them from doing so, saying regular school couldn’t take care of a special needs students. His parents were determined to take the risk and push him hard to go through his work everyday because they wanted to prove that, given the opportunity, he could do anything.
