are various."School Refusal",formerly known as"School Phobia",is an actual anxietybased disorder.
Many children are vague about their complaints and unable to be sure what is making them anxious,so
it is sometimes regarded as typical childhood will fullness.However,the effects of constant school refusal
can be farreaching for your child"s education.
So,where"s the line between what"s normal and what"s not?"You need to look at whether it is affecting
the child or family"s normal life,"explains Christopher Kearney,Ph.D.In other words,if a child"s grades are
suffering from frequent absences or a parent"s job is disturbed,it is time to look closely at the issue.
Parents should listen carefully to children who say they can"t go to school because of "untestable things"
such as stomachaches or headaches.While these complaints alone don"t necessarily indicate school
refusal,there may be deeper problems if combined with general complaints about school,talks of threats
at school and so on.
There are different kinds of behavior in school refusal.Some children are influenced by their friends
who skip school to hang out with their friends,showing a sense of rebellion(叛逆). Some children cling to
their mothers,screaming at the thought of having to enter the school building.
However,that doesn"t mean that getting a child back into the classroom is impossible.According to
Maryann Roth,a school psychologist and guidance counselor(顾问),parents should attempt to make the
child get back to school,no matter how hard it is.Working closely with school officials and possibly a
specialist to create a plan is a necessary step.

looks a lot like being lost; in fact, being lost is normal and productive at this stage in life.
In the past, people were penalized(处罚)for getting lost. For example, dropping out of high school
for a year to explore made colleges think you were hospitalized for mental instability. But it"s a different
story today. Right after college, you don"t get dinged(教训)for taking time off. Most graduate and
professional schools today would prefer the students who take time to go away, have different
experiences, and then come back refocused.
Why is there so much respect for exploration?Part of the reason is that there is no better way of
figuring out what will make you happy. "We are not very good at using our imaginations when it comes
to how we"ll feel in a given circumstance," says Daniel Gilbert, a professor of psychology at Harvard
University. Therefore, he recommends that we test out a lot of different careers. He admits that this
method takes time, but he says it"s worth it because otherwise you"re likely to make a decision based
on money, which does not always lead to happiness.
What about the people who pull their life together in a tight little package by age twenty-four?
They"re the exception to the rule, according to Wayne Osgood, a professor of sociology at Pennsylvania
State University. He labels these people "fast starters" and explains that they are only about 12 percent
of the population. Some fast starters are just plain lucky: they love the first job they get after college.
The other 88 percent of us have to march through our twenties formulating(规划)a new career plan.
The good news is that this is what most people are doing in their twenties:wandering, taking trips,
changing jobs every year, volunteering for unpaid work while living at their parents" house, and starting
businesses that fail. All these choices are, surprisingly, right on track for making a good decision about
what to do with yourself in adult life.
B. assists you in choosing a suitable career
C. is just a waste of your valuable time
D. is a kind of mental instability
B. it improves your imagination in a given situation
C. it is the best way to find your happiness
D. it promises you various choices of careers
B. People who stand out among others.
C. People who love their jobs very much.
D. People who always carry a small package with them.
B. Exploration is to travel around the world.
C. Choosing a career is nothing but easy.
D. An indirect route is the route to happiness.
B. argumentative
C. narrative
D. poetic
about what we want to be, what we want to do, what makes us proud and happy and what we will
become.
We grew up, and everything seemed like having its own way. We accept our success or failures
and we move on. The change, the need to do the important things, the jobs, the pressures and the
failures, all kill part of our dreams.
Things have changed, but they cannot really take away the dreams. We still have to dream on, to
realize our desires, our wants, our future, even when we are considered too old for such things. Cornel
Sanders started his business when he was sixty, and started the whole successful KFC business. The
main thing is not the age-whether being too old, or too young, but it is the desire to dream on, and the
courage to realize it.
Having a dream, taking it to sleep, thinking about it, planning it, and adding all the fun to our dreams
will make us a bit closer to the realization of our dreams.
Businessmen start with a dream, a simple wish of small restaurant operation, or a huge business of
real-estate(房地产) development, or a training center for English education, or just any other
self-employed money earning fun.
The ability to dream on is one of the fine qualities of human race that other animals do not have. So
dream on, and put a deadline:make it a giant dream, a small one, an old one, a newfound one, a hobby
related one, a change of life one, a religious one, a stupid one, or just whatever. . . just continue to
dream on. . . Then, Just Go and Do It!
B. Jobs.
C. Pressures.
D. Working hard.
B. KFC is quite popular with all the young people in the world
C. It is not the age but the desire and courage that makes your dream come true
D. Cornel Sanders the founder of KFC had a dream when he was young
B. Small.
C. Wise.
D. Common.
B. Dream and Facts
C. KFC and Dream
D. One World, One Dream
school seemed so difficult. When I got home, my parents said, "You"re nervous and that"s okay.
Everyone is afraid of high school." I denied it. I wanted to be strong, so I refused to let anyone know
about my fear,even my closest friends.
On the first day I was late for every class and was constantly lost. The school seemed like a puzzle
that I couldn"t figure out. Was this how the whole year was going to be? I didn"t think I could rise to this
challenge, especially carrying a huge backpack that I could hardly lift. It was so big that I could knock
someone out with it! The schoolmates seemed to regard me as a fool, and they were probably right.
Despite my fears, after the first week I finally had my schedule figured out. With the exception of
falling up and down the stairs a couple of times and getting laughed at,high school was turning out to be
not so bad. It was actually much better than middle school and much more challenging.
Since then,I"ve been elected vice monitor of my class,which wasn"t much of a victory since only three
people ran for the four positions.
It is normal to be scared about a new school. Take a deep breath and relax. High school is
something that any student can overcome. Make sure you participate in some outofclass activities
because you"ll find it easier to make friends. Try to do your best, even if it isn"t straight A"s.
Most important of all, be who you are, whether you"re a "fool", an athlete, or a lower grader. Don"t
try to pretend to be someone you"re not. Now you know the true secrets of high school.
B. his schoolmates were unfriendly to him
C. he was not familiar with the new surroundings
D. his schoolbag was too heavy for him to carry
B. he got to school after classes began
C. he didn"t get any school schedule
D. he didn"t know the right way to class
B. gradually adjusted himself to the new school
C. found high school not so challenging as he had imagined
D. ran for monitor of his class against three other students
B. getting more A"s at school
C. being who he really is
D. joining in outofclass activities
granted, we often don"t clearly understand how we make friends. While we get on well with a number
of people, __1__
Moreover, a great many relationships come under the general term "friendship". In all cases, two
people like one another and enjoy being together, but beyond that, the degree of closeness between
them and the reasons for their interest in each other change greatly.
At the beginning, much depends on how people meet, and on good first impressions. As we get to
know people, __2__Although these factors are not of the greatest importance, it is more difficult to
have a good relationship with people when there is a big difference in age and background.
Then, __3__Friends will stand closer together and will spend more time looking at each other than
ordinary friends. Smiles and soft voices also express friendliness, and it is because they may give the
wrong signals that shy people often have difficulty making friends. A friendly look with a wrong facial
expression can turn into an unfriendly stare, and nervousness may be wrongly understood as
unfriendliness.
Some relationships are a result of argument and discussion, but it is usual for close friends to have
the same ideas and beliefs, the same opinion and interests. The more closely involved people become,
the more they depend on each other. And __4__ Equally, friends have to learn to make allowances for
each other, to put up with annoying habits, and to accept differences in opinion.
In contrast with marriage, __5__But the support and understanding that results from shared
experiences and affections does seem to create a close and lasting relationship.
A. we are usually friends with only a few.
B. many factors can affect friendship and relationship.
C. people want to do friends favors and hate to let them down.
D. argument and discussion can improve personal relationships.
E. we consider things like age, race, looks, economic and social status, etc.
F. we pay attention to actual behavior, facial expression, and the way a person speaks.
G. there are no friendship ceremonies to strengthen the relationship between two people.
have 6montholds in music classes and swimming classes. Parents fear that if other children are attending
these classes, they will be holding their own children back if they do not enroll, too.
The other extreme, simply taking a_laissezfaire_approach and letting children do-or refuse to
do-whatever they want, is not the answer either, of course.
Dr. Taylor emphasizes that parents need to push their children based on what is best for children, not
what is best for themselves. If children understand that an activity is in their best interests,then they will
accept it, he finds.
Dr. Taylor and other family experts remain pessimistic about the possibilities for widespread social
change. "The force of our popular culture, driven by money and superficial(表面上的)values, cannot
be resisted," he says. But change can take place at a "microlevel", in families and schools.
When change does occur, the rewards can benefit everyone in the family. One mother supporting this
new approach toward parenting mentions the advantages her family experienced after her children cut
back on activities. "The biggest thing is that since we have done this, we are rested," she says. "Not only
are our kids rested, because they"re not in a ton of stuff, but my husband and I are rested, because we"re
not driving them everywhere. We weren"t living in the moment when we were always busy. We were
living by the schedule. The return on our investment of spending time together has been enormous."
B. are too busy to take care of their children
C. don"t want their children to lag behind
D. want to repeat what their parents did to them
B. controlling children in a flexible way
C. developing a keen interest in children
D. letting children do whatever they want
B. to consider the matter from parents" standpoint
C. to emphasize the importance of hard work from time to time
D. to make it interesting and enjoyable to them
B. going from one extreme of pushing children too hard to the other of leaving them alone
C. involving children in activities that will probably contribute to their development
D. enrolling them in classes that are best for children
B. resisting the superficial values of pop culture
C. reducing more activities off their school schedule
D. spending more time with their children
