More teachers are starting off the school year with letters to parents and students to introduce themselves and set a tone (基调) for the year. The letters are a good way to start positive communication with parents, several teachers told Education World.

“I think it’s professional, ”said Dorothy Peselli, an English teacher at Sparta High School in Sparta, New Jersay, Peselli, who gives out the letters the first day of school, told Education World. “It gives parents an image of you as a professional. If you start communication off in a positive manner, you will have the parents on your side when you need them.”

In her letter to parents, Peselli encourages them to call or e-mail her with specific concerns about their children. “I want to work as a team to make sure that your child becomes an independent lifelong learner,” Peselli wrote to parents last September. She also telephones the parents of all her students at the beginning of the year.

Peselli includes with the letter a classroom handbook (手册) listing plans and rules. And she requires that both parents and students read and sign statements (included in the letter) when they read the handbook. The student letter also lists needed supplies and gives encouragement. “Please come to class ready to work and learn. This will be an exciting year for all of us,” it says.

Last year, Peselli taught at a different high school and parents there were “shocked”, but appreciative, that she had so much contact with them. “I received roses and a thank-you note from one boy and his mother,” Peselli said. She wished her own children’s teachers would take the time to write notes as well. “I never got a letter home from any of my daughter’s high school teachers.” she said, “It would be nice to know the background of some of the people who are teaching my daughter.”

A. most teachers are writing letters to parents and students

B. the handbook is used to list supplies and give encouragement

C. Peselli believe it important for teachers to exchange information with parents

D. Peselli mainly introduces her background and teaching experiences in the letters

B. Peselli means to surprise parents by writing students

C. Peselli seemed to be popular among boy students

D. all Peselli’s children are studying in high schools

Even as Toyota CEO Akio Toyoda wrapped up a tired appearance before Congress，the head of the world’s largest automaker wasn’t leaving his problems behind．

 Toyota faces a criminal investigation by federal lawyers in New York．The company is now being investigated．Its US dealerships in difficulty now are facing repairs to potentially millions of customer cars that have been recalled．The company is offering customers money back for rental cars and other expenses．

 Its lawyers are busy preparing to cope with lawsuits．A new hearing will be conducted. And the cost to Toyota’s reputation is only now starting．

Despite back-to-back hearings this  week，left to be said were a better explanation for slow actions to deal with the faults and believable promises that the problems that led to sudden，unintended accelerations will be fixed．

Toyoda said those changes were being made nearly around the clock，but during three hours of often tense questions and answers he repeated that there was no link to the vehicle’s electronic systems．

Many drivers making complaints against Toyota and the government say their acceleration problems had nothing to do with floor mat interference(油门踏板故障)or sticky gas pedals(刹车)．Outside experts have suggested electronic problems.

    House lawmakers expressed serious criticism on Toyoda，the grandson of the company’s founder．

    The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration(NHTSA)is seeking records on Toyota’s recalls and is conducting its own review on whether electronics were behind the car faults．NHTSA also continues to look into steering complaints from drivers of the popular Corolla model．

    Toyota has recalled 8．5 million cars，more than 6 million of them in the United States．

      It may be a while before car buyers believe that Toyota really makes safe cars．

      Toyota’s January sales already fell 16 percent even as most other automakers jumped back from last year’s bad results．Analyst Koji Endo of Advanced Research Japan in Tokyo said he expects February sales，due out next week，to be down 30 percent to 40．Toyota’s sales problem could continue beyond that． 

      It will take some time to feel the full effect of this，he said．

68．The best title for this passage is_________．

      A．Toyota is in trouble                    B．Toyota is under hearing

      C．Toyota is finished                         D．Toyota is still running

69．What is the purpose of the hearing?

      A．America hopes that Toyota apologizes to the US customers．

      B．America wants to get Toyota out of the US market．

      C．America wants to help Toyota out of difficulty．

      D．America hopes that Toyota admits their cars have electronic system problem．

70．What can we infer from the passage?

    A．Toyota provides very good post sale service．   

    B．Toyota’s biggest market is in the United States．

    C．Toyota will be closed soon．

    D．Toyota’s dealership in the US will all be closed．

71．The last sentence of this passage indicates______

      A．Analyst Koji Endo is fully confident about Toyota

      B．Toyota could meet a worse situation

      C．Toyota would get out of trouble sooner or later

      D．Toyota would build up a better reputation among its customers
