“A very disruptive (调皮捣蛋的) six-year-old child kicked my legs and clawed at my hand,” said one teacher. “I broke up a fight and was kicked between my legs,” said another. Many people have heard stories like this. But the situation is more worrying still and it involves parents.
Every child, regardless of the circumstances into which they are born, has the right to achieve their potential, regardless of their parents’ wealth and class. And we recognize that, as a nation, it is a long way to achieve this goal. But with rights come responsibilities and what worries people is that we are in danger of neglecting the latter.
Far too many children are behaving badly at school, even to the point of being violent to staff. This is terrible enough, but it is hard to be surprised since many children are just mirroring the behaviour of their parents. Too many are starting school unable to hold a knife and fork, unused to eating at a table, and unable to use the lavatory(卫生间) properly.
We are in danger of becoming a nation of families living separate lives under one roof. The bedroom, once a place to sleep, has become the living space for the young. Spending hours in front of computer screens, on social networking sites or being immersed (沉迷于) in computer games, children and young people spend little time with their parents. Parents are unable to monitor just what their children are watching.
Schools cannot right the wrongs of society and teachers cannot become substitute parents. Both parties need to work together. Parents must be helped and given confidence to take back control. They are responsible for setting boundaries for their children’s behaviour and sticking to those boundaries. They are responsible for setting a good example to their children and for devoting that most precious of resources---time---so that children come to school ready and willing to learn.
1.In the opinion of the writer, what problem do people ignore?
A. The violence in the school
B. The pressure of students’ learning
C. The right to achieve students’ potential
D. The responsibilities of the students.
2.The underlined part in paragraph 4 means________.
A. parents care little about children’s life at home
B. parents and children live in their separate rooms
C. children don’t live with their parents in the same house
D. children live a different life from that of parents at home
3.The writer’s attitude to the behaviours of parents may be_______.
A. unconcern B. understanding
C. dissatisfied D. tolerant
Going green seems to be fad (时尚) for a lot of people these days. Whether that is good or bad, we can't really say, but for the two of us, going green is not a fad but a lifestyle.
On April 22, 2011, we decided to go green every single day for an entire year. This meant doing 365 different green things, and it also meant challenging ourselves to go green beyond easy things. Rather than recycle and reduce our energy, we had to think of 365 different green things to do and this was no easy task.
With the idea of going green every single day for a year, Our Green Year started. My wife and I decided to educate people about how they could go green in their lives and hoped we could show people all the green things that could be done to help the environment. We wanted to push the message that every little bit helps.
Over the course of Our Green Year, we completely changed our lifestyle. We now shop at organic(有机的)stores. We consume less meat, choosing green food. We have greatly reduced our buying we don't need. We have given away half of what we owned through websites. Our home is kept clean by vinegar and lemon juice, with no chemical cleaners. We make our own butter, enjoying the smell of home-made fresh bread. In our home office anyone caught doing something ungreen might be punished.
Our minds have been changed by Our Green Year. We are grateful for the chance to have been able to go green and educate others. We believe that we do have the power to change things and help our planet.
1.What might be the best title for the passage?
A. Celebrating Our Green Year.
B. Protecting the Planet.
C. Keeping Open-Minded
D. Going Green.
2.It was difficult for the couple to live a green life for the whole year because_________.
A. they needed to perform unusual green tasks
B. they didn't know how to educate other people
C. they were unwilling to reduce their energy
D. they were expected to follow the green fad
3.What did the couple do over the course of Our Green Year?
A. They ignore others' ungreen behavior.
B. They tried to get out of their ungreen habits.
C. They chose better chemical cleaners.
D. They sold their home-made food.
4.What can we infer from the last paragraph?
A. The government will give support to the green people.
B. Some people disagree with the couple's green ideas.
C. The couple may continue their project in the future.
D. Our Green Year is becoming a national campaign.

Mary Daniels is a student in England. This year she had a very interested
summer holiday. He travelled with fifteen others people to the Tuwenzori Mountains
in Africa. They went there to help make a road through a forest among two big towns.
“It was very difficult because of there was no water to drink and no shops that we
could buy food,” said Mary. “It was also very cold and wetter in the mountains. It is
one of the wettest place in the world.” Mary stays in the mountains for six weeks. It
was hard work, but she said it was best thing she had ever done. She is hoping to
return next year to do some more work there.

Jane paused in front of a counter _5._ some attractive ties were on display. “They are real silk,” the assistant tried to attract her. “Worth double the price.” But Jane knew from past experience that her__6._(choose) of ties hardly ever pleased her father.

When Jane got home, with her small but well-chosen present in her bag, her parents were already at table__9._(have) supper. Her mother was excited. “Your father has at last decided to stop smoking,” Jane__10.__(inform).
