The students today are given very much homework to do after class. Most of them have difficulty finishing them on time. As a result some and more parents offer to help their children with their homework, hope to reduce their learning burden in a way. People have different view on whether parents should help their children do their homework. As far as I am concerned, it was beneficial for parents to help their children unless the homework is too difficult for them to deal with. For one thing, it relieves the children’s stress or builds up their confidence. For another, it’s a good way for parents to know their children better off. Most important of all, it strengthens relationship between parents and children.

Anyone can try to lead a group. 1.. Good leaders possess a few qualities that can mean the difference between success and failure of the group. These are the qualities the leaders of higher rank will look for when choosing a leader for a group. They’re also the qualities team members want in a group leader.
2..
Group leaders might share tasks when necessary, but eventually a group leader needs to be able to accept that responsibility lies on his shoulders. That means that if things go wrong in a group project, he’s the one who must accept the consequence and deal with the problem. 3., but also he should be ready to admit any mistakes the group has made as a result of his leadership.
Show concern for members.
A group leader has a commitment to the task or project at hand, but perhaps more importantly, he has real concern for each person who is part of his group. This means getting to know the strengths, weaknesses and goals of team members, as well as building the group through collective activities. 4..
Be a good listener.
5.. Not only will this allow complaints to be addressed and potentially suitable ideas to be put into practice, but also a leader who listens will also encourage group members to share their concern and thoughts,creating an atmosphere of free speech and productivity.
A. He not only has the power to control everything group members do
B. A group leader needs to listen to the suggestions, complaints and ideas of group members
C. Share tasks with group members
D. However, not every individual is fit for leadership
E. Attending collective activities is an effective way to relieve pressure
F. He should make sure everyone is included even if an individual is new to the group
G. Take responsibility
Do you have a spare room in your house? What about a driveway for your car? Both of these can help you make money. Many people who are feeling the pinch are taking advantage of what’s been called the "sharing economy".
Perhaps the best-known example of a company in this field is Airbnb — an American web business which allows you to rent out your spare room to holidaymakers. It says it operates in 34,000 cities and it has over 1,500,000 listings. It seems to have cornered the market!
A British company is doing something with parking spaces. JustPark’s founder, Anthony Eskinazi, says, "When I had the original idea, I spotted a driveway close to a sports stadium. It would have been so convenient if I could have just parked in that driveway rather than in a commercial car park." And he has a big clientele(顾客): around 20,000 people have advertised their spaces on the site, and he says around half a million drivers use it. There are other sites doing very similar things, like Uber and Lyft — these let drivers share their cars with other passengers. Any driver knows how valuable a place to park is. A church near Kings Cross in central London has apparently made over ￡200,000 by renting out space in its yard to travelers!
Because this is a new business world, those rules aren’t there yet and many people are happy to share... as long as it pays!
But the sharing economy has its critics: the competitors of these new companies. People who run things like traditional B&B, commercial car parks and taxi services are afraid of ending up out of pocket. And there is another issue: regulations on these new businesses are unclear. How will renting out your driveway affect your neighbor?
1.What does the underlined phrase "feeling the pinch" probably mean?
A. Lacking in money.
B. Full of curiosity.
C. Willing to help others.
D. Unsatisfied with their life.
2.Who may be against the sharing economy?
A. A taxi driver who can’t find a parking place.
B. A priest in the church near Kings Cross.
C. A traveler who needs accommodation.
D. A well-known high-end holiday hotel.
3.Why are many people pleased to share according to Paragraph 4?
A. They can gain huge profits.
B. They needn’t pay any fee.
C. There’re few rules to limit them.
D. The new business has no risks.
4.Which of the following words can best describe the booming business?
A. Creative and developed.
B. Competitive but unpractical.
C. Effective but worrying.
D. Traditional and acceptable.
