is a legal requirement that all kids be educated, though. When parents believe they can give their kids a better education--- or have other reasons for not wanting to send their kids to a local school --- they may choose home schooling.
However, if a kid hates school, home schooling is probably not the escape he is looking for. Home schooled students can learn just as much as they would in regular school if they and their parents work hard to cover all the subjects and experiences necessary. Parents who home school usually have higher levels of education than parents who do not. They already have the skills to educate themselves about teaching their kids.
Parents who home school have to be able to put the time and skill into not just teaching, but also researching lesson plans and resources(资源). So they have to know how to find the information necessary to teach their kids. State schools often provide home-schooling parents with a curriculum(课程), books and materials and places to meet. Some state schools will point parents to other resources for brushing up on forgotten subjects. Or parents may receive continuing education at local colleges or universities.

解析
试题分析: 美国的法律规定,不管是去学校还是在家里学习。所有的儿童都必须接受教育。一般来说选择在家里教育孩子的父母往往是受过高等教育的,而且他们还要有充足的时间,有相关的教学技能和自我学习提高的能力。
小题1:B细节理解题。根据文章首段going to school is not a legal(法定的) requirement in the United States. It is a legal requirement that all kids be educated, though.可知在美国孩子接受教育是一项法律,选B。
小题2:D细节理解题。根据文章第二段内容Parents who home school usually have higher levels of education than parents who do not可知在家里教育孩子的父母一般都是受过良好教育的,选D。
小题3:C细节理解题。根据文章第三段Parents who home school have to be able to put the time and skill into not just teaching, but also researching lesson plans and resources可知在家里教授孩子的家长必须得有时间,有教学技能而且也得了解教学计划和资源,而C选项内容文章没有涉及,选C。
小题4:A词意猜测题。根据本词后面内容forgotten subjects. Or parents may receive continuing education at local colleges or universities.可以判断此处是指学校会帮助家长复习或者学习忘记了的课程,以便更好得教给孩子们,故答案选A。
小题5:C推理判断题。根据文章末段内容可知身为一个家庭教育的父母要有时间,教学技能还要不断更新知识,由此判断在家里教育的父母要付出很多的努力,故答案选C。
核心考点
试题【Believe it or not, going to school is not a legal(法定的) requirement in the United】;主要考察你对题材分类等知识点的理解。[详细]
举一反三
If blood is red, why are veins(静脉)blue?
Actually, veins are not blue at all. They are more of a clear, yellowish colour. Although blood looks red when it’s outside the body, when it’s sitting in a vein near the surface of the skin, it’s more of a dark reddish purple colour. At the right depth, these blood-filled veins reflect less red light than the surrounding skin, making them look blue by comparison.
Which works harder, your heart or your brain?
That kind of depends on whether you’re busy thinking or busy exercising. Your heart works up to three times harder during exercise, and shifts enough blood over a lifetime to fill a supertanker. But, in the long run, your brain probably tips it, because even when you’re sitting still your brain is using twice as much as your heart, and it takes four to five times as much blood to feed it.
Why do teeth fall out, and why don’t they grow back in grown-up?
Baby (or “milk”) teeth do not last long; they fall out to make room for bigger, stronger adult teeth later on. Adult teeth fall out when they become damaged, decayed and infected by bacteria. Once this second set of teeth has grown in, you’re done. When they’re gone, they’re gone. This is because nature figures you’re set for life, and what controls regrowth of your teeth switches off.
Do old people shrink as they age?
Yes and no. Many people do get shorter as they age. But, when they do, it isn’t because they’re shrinking all over. They simply lose height as their spine(脊柱)becomes shorter and more curved due to disuse and the effects of gravity(重力). Many (but not all) men and women do lose height as they get older. Men lose an average of 3—4 cm in height as they age, while women may lose 5 cm or more. If you live to be 200 years old, would you keep shrinking till you were, like 60 cm tall, like a little boy again? No, because old people don’t really shrink! It is not that they are growing backwards—their legs, arms and backbones getting shorter. When they do get shorter, it’s because the spine has shortened a little. Or, more often, become more bent and curved.
Why does spinning make you dizzy(眩晕的)?
Because your brain gets confused between what you’re seeing and what you’re feeling. The brain senses that you’re spinning using special gravity-and-motion-sensing organs in your inner ear, which work together with your eyes to keep your vision and balance stable. But, when you suddenly stop spinning the system goes out control, and your brain thinks you’re moving while you’re not!
Where do feelings and emotions come from?
Mostly from an ancient part of the brain called the limbic system. All mammals have this brain area—from mice to dogs, cats, and humans. So all mammals feel basic emotions like fear, pain and pleasure. But since human feelings also involve other, newer bits of the brain, we feel more complex emotions than any other animals on the planet.
If exercise wears you out, how can it be good for you?
Because our bodies adapt to everything we do to them. And as far as your body is concerned, it’s “use it, or lose it”! It’s not that exercise makes you healthy; it’s more that a lack of exercise leaves your body weak and easily affected by disease.

Fear still fills the hearts of men, women and children of Washington. In May of 1980 during the eruption of Mount Saint Helens, the Batsquatch showed itself in the shadows of clouds from the eruption. In 1994, a local mountaineer was able to take pictures of the Batspuatch making the rumor(谣言) seem real. During this event some farm animals seemed to disappear though luckily no humans were reported missing at the time. The local mountaineer told about his meeting with the Batsquatch. When he suddenly heard a loud deep voice from the shadows, the mountaineer was knocked down. He tried to look for the creature(生物) that had made the sound. He saw a great creature with purple wings in the sky. It looked like it was about 30 feet tall.
The mountaineer kept this story a secret in fear of being laughed at by others but when new stories came in about the Batsquatch he shared his story.
The reality of the Batsquatch can no longer be ignored. It is only a creature that is trying to live. Respect! This is how we should take news such as this. Respect for a living creature instead of fear.
小题1:The rumor about the batsquatch makes people of Washington full of______

Of course not! You don"t have to suffer needlessly. Your life depends on you, not on other factors.
I know a woman who says she just accepts what life gives her because she has done everything she can to improve it. Guess what her lifestyle is? She wakes up in the morning, goes to work, comes back home, relaxes, chats with people, watches TV, and then goes to sleep. Next day, the same routine cycle follows.
Huh! Is this what she calls "doing her best"? She believes she has tried her best and just accepts it in her heart that this is the life that has been intended for her and that her luck can only change if God wills it. She hasn"t realized that we have to do our share of making the effort to live the life of our dreams.
Remember that you harvest what you sow. You have to get off the sofa, get your eyes off the TV screen, get your hands off the phone (unless it’s helpful to your success), and get your mind and body to work! Don"t expect your luck to change, unless you do something about it. If something goes wrong, don"t just regard it as a temporary(暂时的) problem; Instead, learn your lesson, make the most of the situation, and do something to solve the problem. It"s not enough to think positively; you also have to act positively.
If someone"s life is in trouble, do you just hope and pray that things will turn out fine? Of course not! You get to do anything you can to save the person. So it is with your own life. It is not enough to hope for the best, but you have to do your best. In other words, don"t just stand or sit there, do something to improve your life.

A.doesn"t need improving |
B.will be better some day |
C.can’t improve itself |
D.will be worse in the future |
A.Positive | B.Disturbing |
C.Colorful | D.Negative (消极的) |
A.Your temporary problem is not discouraging. |
B.You should treat yourself in the way you treat friends. |
C.Your luck can be changed by your own efforts. |
D.You can only achieve success when God wills it. |
A.positive thinking |
B.positive action |
C.hope for the best |
D.intention to succeed |
A.improve your life |

Most people get their news from high-tech sources like television or the Internet.This has many advantages.For example, electronic news is more up to date than newspapers or magazines.It’s also more exciting to see live and videotaped news events than photographs.However, newspapers and magazines have some important advantages.They give more background and details.They also let you read the parts that are important to you and skip the rest.
Other high-tech timesavers have similar disadvantages.For example, most people use the phone or e-mail to stay in touch with friends and family members who live in other places.But when you use the Internet or the phone, you won’t always think carefully about what you are saying, and sometimes you forget the important things you want to communicate.Similarly, when you word-process a homework assignment instead of handwriting it, you can check your spelling electronically and put in fancy headings.However, some students are so busy with the computer that they don’t pay enough attention to the actual words they are writing.
小题1:Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage ?
A.The writer likes high-tech cooking |
B.Low-tech cooking produces better-tasting meals. |
