A
Too many people want others to be their friends, but they don't give friendship back.That is why some friendships don't last very long.To have a friend, you must learn to treat your friend the way you want your friend to treat you.Learning to be a good friend means learning three rules:be honest;be generous(宽宏 大量的);be understanding.
Honesty is where a good friendship starts. Friends must be able to trust one another. If you do not tell the truth, people usually find out.If a friend finds out that you haven't been honest, you may lose your friend's trust.Good friends always rely on one another to speak and act honestly.
Generosity means sharing and sharing makes a friendship grow. You do not have to give your lunch money or your clothes. Naturally you will want to share your ideas and feelings. These can be very valuable to a friend. They tell your friend what is important to you. By sharing them, you help your friend know better.
Sooner or later everyone needs understanding and help with a problem. Something may go wrong at school.Talking about the problem can make it easier to solve. Turning to a friend can be a first step in solving the problem. So to be a friend you must listen and understand. You must try to put yourself in your friend's place so that you can understand the problem better.
No two friendships are exactly alike(相同的).But all true friendships have three things in common.If you plan to keep your friends, you must practice honesty,generosity and understanding.
1. Some friendships don't last long because .
A.there are too many people who want to make friends
B. those who give others friendship receive friendship from others
C.some people receive friendship but don't give friendship back
D. they don't know friendship is something serious
2.According to the passage, honesty is______.
A. something countable B. the base of friendship
C. as important as money D.more important than anything else
3.In the third paragraph, the underlined word “They"refers to___.
A.generosity and friendship B.generosity and sharing
C. your ideas and feelings D.your clothes
4. The best title of this passage is__.
A How to Be a Friend B.Honesty Is the Best Policy
C.A Friend in Need Is a Friend Indeed D. Three Important Points in Life
B
We've all seen them. They were the unfamiliar and often socially awkward kids.“Who are they ” we all whispered. When we asked our parents about these kids, they replied in that slightly high-nosed tone, "Oh, they're home schooled_"
Despite the disgrace which erill eurrounds homeschooling, parents who choose this form of education are finally getting their benefits.Since 1999, the number of parents who choose to homeschool their children has grown by 75%. And although the number of children in a homeschooling environment still only account for only 4% of the total number of school-going youth, the number of parents choosing to give up “traditional" public education is growing seven times faster than the rate of children being enrolled in public schools each year.
For those who argue that these numbers do not justify the effectiveness of a home schooled education, we might instead look to the statistics. The typical home schooled child scores in the 65th to 89th percentile on standardized testing, while the average child in a public school environment scores somewhere around the 50th percentile. Further, home schooled children have been shown to score consistently higher on the ACT and goon to earn higher GPAs as college students. Home schooled children have even been shown to achieve four year
degrees at much higher rates than students from public school and private schools.
The benefits don't stop there. Whereas the average total expenditures for a child in public school is near$ 10,000 a year, those for the homeschooled child average is somewhere between $ 500 and $ 600 a year. So not only does homeschooling provide educational benefits, but it provides financial payoffs as well.
But what about socialization Home schooled children are considered by many to lack basic social skills,supporters of homeschooling claim this is not true. The National Home Education Research Institute claims that home schooled children have actually shown to become more socially engaged individuals than their peers, showing "healthy social, psychological, and emotional development, and success into adulthood".
So what might the future bring Will more parents opt for homeschooling than public schooling And what can be done to stop the apparent downfalls in public schooling
5.The underlined words “Oh, they're home schooled" in Para.1 suggests that parents___.
A.are proud of their own children B. respect home schooled kids
C.don't accept socially awkward kids D. have a low opinion on homeschooling
6. From Para.2 we know that the trend of homeschooling .
A.is worrying B. is on the rise C.remains consistent D.is going downward
7. The statistics in Para. 3 is used to show _.
A. Home schooled kids do better
B. public school education is more effective
C.home schooled children earn higher GPAs at college
D.public school children score in the 50th percentile
8. The author's attitude towards homeschooling is __.
A.critical(批评的) B.negative(消极的,否定的) C.supportive(支持的) D.neutral(中立的)
