Question

In the United States, headmasters（校长） and teachers discipline(惩罚)students in several ways. The teacher often writes to or calls the student’s parents. Sometimes students have to stay at school for one hour. If a student behaves(行为)very badly, the headmaster can stop the student having classes. The student can’t come to school for one, two or three days. Mr.Lazares, the headmaster of a middle school in Ohio, did not like to do so. When he didn’t let the students come to school, they were happy. “A three-day holiday!” They thought.

One day, a boy was in Mr.Lazares’s office. The boy was not behaving well in class. Mr.Lazares telephoned the boy’s parents. “If you come to school with your son, I won’t stop him having classes,” he said. The boy’s father came to school and went with his son to every class. Other students looked at the boy and his father. The boy was embarrassed(难为情). After that he behaved better. And of course other students behaved better, too.

Now headmasters all over the USA are trying Mr.Lazares’s idea. They, too, think that students behave better when parents come to school.

【解析】

试题分析：这篇短文讲述的是美国一个学校的校长，他对待犯错的学生有自己的方法，他会打电话叫学生的家长来学校，并且让家长和孩子一起去每个班，让其他同学都看到他们，这样他们就会很难为情，以后就不会犯错了。

1.细节理解题。根据短文之后If a student behaves(行为)very badly, the headmaster can stop the student having classes.可知，如果一个学生行为恶劣，那么校长可以停这个学生的课。故应选D。

2.细节理解题。根据短文第一段之后When he didn’t let the students come to school, they were happy.可知，当校长不让学生上课的时候，他们会非常高兴，他们觉得这是假期。故选A。

3.细节理解题。根据短文第二段中的内容可知，Lazares校长对待犯错的学生的方法不是停他们的课，让他们回家。而是打电话叫学生的家长来学校，并且让家长和孩子一起去每个班，这样他们就会很难为情，以后就不会犯错了。由此可知选C。

4.细节理解题。根据短文第二段中的内容Other students looked at the boy and his father. The boy was embarrassed(难为情).可知，当学生和自己的家长去每个班的时候，其他同学都会看他们，这个学生会感到很难为情，故选B。

5.推理判断题。根据短文第二段的内容可知，对待犯错的学生，Lazares校长会打电话叫学生的家长来学校，并且让家长和孩子一起去每个班，让其他同学都看到他们，这样他们就会很难为情，以后就不会犯错了。所以其他学生的行为也会变好，因为他们不想自己的家长也来学校。故选B。
