that told about when a baby was born. The story said that when a baby was born, a new master was born.
The parents of that baby would become the servants. The question is: Why? Based on my observation, this
phenomenon is true. Most parents who don"t pay much attention to their kids have difficulties with their kids"
attitude.
I"ll make a comparison of how two families raise their children. The first one is a family with three children.
Both mother and father never say "No" to their children"s demands. As a result, all of their children became
stubborn and won"t listen to their parents" words, "We can"t."
The second family educated their children strictly from one year old to high school. The parents never
approved or agreed directly to give their children what they wanted. They always postponed one or two days,
even if they could afford it. Due to the way their parents educated them, these children understood that if they
wanted something, they had to wait or they had to make an effort first. As a result, all the kids from the second
family successfully graduated from university on time.
In my opinion, if we want to be successful parents and raise our children well, we have to start disciplining
them when they are toddlers but not wait until they become teenagers.
B. To list different ways that parents may take.
C. To criticize some parents" foolish action.

by family problems or concerned about pets at home. All the questions above may make you not concentrated
on your study. Who can you turn to if you are such an unlucky student? A great person to share your thoughts
and feelings with is your school counselor (顾问).
Add school counselors to the list of people you can turn to when you need help. They know how to listen
and can help kids with life"s challenges (挑战). Counselors have special training in how to help kids solve
problems, make decisions, and stand up for themselves. That doesn"t mean your counselor will wave a magic
wand and the problem will go away. But it does mean he or she will help you cope with it. Coping is an
important word to know. Sometimes, kids and grown-ups have difficult problems. Coping means that someone
is trying to handle these problems and make things better.
Your school counselor is available for you and wants to make your school experience the best it can be. The
counselor"s job is to take your problem seriously and help you find a solution. The counselor also wants to help
you learn as much as you can in class, be a contributing member of the school community, and be a positive

"fault lines" in the earth"s crust. Earthquakes can be felt over large areas although they usually last less than
one minute. Earthquakes cannot be predicted-although scientists are working on it!
Most of the time, you will notice an earthquake by the gentle shaking of the ground. You may notice
hanging plants swaying or objects wobbling on shelves. Sometimes you may hear a low rumbling noise or
feel a sharp jolt. A survivor of the 1906 earthquake in San Francisco said the sensation was like riding a
bicycle down a long flight of stairs.
The intensity (强度) of an earthquake can be measured. One measurement is called the Richter scale.
Earthquakes below 4.0 on the Richter scale usually do not cause damage, and earthquakes below 2.0 usually
can"t be felt. Earthquakes over 5.0 on the scale can cause damage. A magnitude 6.0 earthquake is considered
strong and a magnitude 7.0 is a major earthquake. The Wenchuan Earthquake, which hit Sichuan Province
in 2008, was magnitude 7.8.
Earthquakes are sometimes called temblors, quakes, shakers or seismic activity. The most important thing
to remember during an earthquake is to DROP, COVER and HOLD ON. So remember to DROP to the floor
and get under something for COVER and HOLD ON during the shaking.
B. Earthquakes usually can be felt because they can last for a long time.
C. There are usually some signs for people to notice an earthquake.
D. People can feel an earthquake over 6.0 because it is very strong.
Francisco ______.
B. was just climbing the stairs
C. heard a low rumbling noise
D. felt like riding a bicycle
B. Earthquakes are sometimes called temblors, quakes shakers or seismic activity.
C. The Wenchuan Earthquake, which hit Sichuan Province in 2008 caused serious damage.
D. When an earthquake happens, it is important to drop on the floor immediately.
in Hong Kong; when the very best students of Beijing picked up HK University while giving up the nearby Beijing
or Qinghua University; when the highest enrollment (录取) rate of Hong Kong Science and Industry University
reached 48:1, it"s the high time to ask where the real education heaven for students in China is.
Years ago, the answer certainly would be"Beijing or Qinghua University". But now no one could give the
exact reaction without hesitation. The only sure thing is that HK universities have gradually showed an unusual
attraction to a great many mainland students.
It"s no doubt to call this HK craze (狂热), which is even out of the expectation of those HK universities them
selves.
How can HK universities shake the steady foundations of Beijing and Qinghua and attract so many mainland
students?
First, Hong Kong universities offer large-amount scholarship, especially for the top students who can receive
the sum scholarship as much as 400,000 HK dollars. Since higher education has become a kind of heavy burden
of many families, it"s easy to understand why the reaction to the generous offering of HK universities is great.
Second, most HK universities receive professors and students from all over the world and carry out bilingual
(双语) education. This kind of excellent language atmosphere is another attraction for mainland students.
Furthermore, university students in Hong Kong have a better chance to study abroad as exchange students.
Can mainland top universities like Beijing or Qinghua University be calm as before when facing the
unexpected competition from HK? Will they take relevant measures to win back the top students who once help
them set the worldwide reputation? Time will explain it.
The fierce competition brought by HK universities can be a good thing for an entire improvement of
education in China. After the awakening and action-taking of mainland universities, they can perform better
together with HK universities.
At least, it reminded the mainland universities the tuition fees (学费) are among students" top concern when
they are choosing universities. It"s time to move.
B. Higher education in Hong Kong.
C. The competition between HK University and Beijing University.
D. The fall of mainland universities.
B. they concern only about the tuition fees when choosing universities
C. HK Universities offer higher scholarship, better environment and more opportunities for their further study
D. Beijing University has lost its worldwide reputation
B. Mainland universities had better lower their tuition fees and win back the top students.
C. Universities both in mainland and in HK would get an entire improvement during the competition.
D. It may probably cause a complete loss to both sides in the end.
B. didn"t expect their enrollment of mainland students would be so popular
C. have strict enrollment rules and only 1out of 48 students can get the chance to study there
D. are proud of their teaching staff and facilities
German, Arabic and Italian, and she soon hopes to learn some Mandarin Chinese.
In today"s globalized world, Azure is one of many young American children whose parents insist her 2
include foreign languages.
"It"s such a 3 environment now, you never know what you might need," says Azure"s mother, Julie
Warrenfeltz, who started schooling her daughter in foreign languages when she was 6 weeks old. "She
couldn"t 4 a violin, she couldn"t stand upright, but I wanted her to do 5 ."
Not only is learning a foreign language easier for children than it is for 6 , but children who are exposed
to other languages also do better in school. They are more 7 to diversity, says Fran?ois Thibaut, who runs
The Language Workshop for Children, which has nine schools around the East Coast.
Language study for children is based on immersion (沉浸), he says. Kids sing songs and play games to
help develop language comprehension skills. When children start learning languages at birth, they have the 8
to learn many languages at once without getting 9 -because, as the brain develops, so too does the ability to
separate one 10 from another.

| In communities north of Denver, residents are pitching in to help teachers and administrators as the Vrain school District tries to solve a $13.8 million budget shortage blamed on mismanagement. "We"re worried about our teachers and principals, and we really don"t want to lose them because of this," one parent said. "If we can help ease their financial burden, we will." Teachers are grateful, but I know it may be years before the district is solvent (有综合能力的). They feel really good about the parent support, but they realize it"s impossible for them to solve this problem. The 22,000-student district discovered the shortage last month."It"s extraordinary. Nobody would have imagined something happening like this at this level," said State Treasurer Mike Coffman. Coffman and district officials last week agreed on a state emergency plan freeing up a $9.8 million loan that enabled the payroll (工资单) to be met for 2,700 teachers and staff in time for the holidays. District officials also took $1.7 million from student-activity accounts of its 38 schools. At Coffman"s request, the District Attorney has begun investigating the district"s finances. Coffman says he wants to know whether district officials hid the budget shortage until after the November election, when voters approved a $212 million bond issue for schools. In Frederick, students" parents are buying classroom supplies and offering to pay for groceries and utilities to keep first-year teachers and principals in their jobs. Some $36,000 has been raised in donations from Safeway. A Chevrolet dealership donated $10,000 and forgave the district"s $10,750 bill for renting the driver educating cars. IBM contributed 4,500 packs of paper. "We employ thousands of people in this community," said Mitch Carson, a hospital chief executive, who helped raise funds. "We have children in the school, and we see how they could be affected." At Creek High School, three students started a website that displays newspaper articles, district information and an email forum. "Rumors about what"s happening to the district are moving at lighting speed," said a student. "We wanted to know the truth, and spread that around instead." | |||
