Parents do not owe （欠） their children a college education. If they can afford it, they can certainly send them to a good university. But they needn’t feel guilty if they can’t. When children grow up and want to get married, their parents do not owe them an apartment. They do not have the duty to look after their grandchildren, either. If they want to do it, it must be considered a favor, not an obligation. Do parents owe their children anything? Yes, they owe them a great deal. One of their obligations is to give their children a personal worth. Children who are always made to feel stupid and unworthy, constantly compared with brighter brothers, sisters, or cousins will become so unsure, so afraid of failing that they won’t try at all. Of course they should be properly corrected when they do wrong, but it’s often better to let children learn their mistakes by themselves in time. All their parents should do is to trust them, respect them, understand them and give them chances to try and fail. They must learn to stand failure. When criticisms （批评） are really needed, they should be balanced with a smile and a kiss. That is the way children learn. Parents owe their children a set of solid values around which to build their lives. This means teaching them to respect the rights and opinions of others; it means being respectful to elders, to teachers, and to the law. The best way to teach such values is by deed. A child who is lied to will lie. A child who sees no laughter and no love in the home will have difficulty laughing and loving. No child asks to be born. If you bring a life into the world, you owe the child something. 1.The author thinks parents ________. A.should send their children to college B.should support their children after they get married C.need to buy an apartment for their children D.needn’t feel guilty if they can’t send their children to universities 2.What does the underlined word “obligation” in Paragraph 1 mean? A.Right. B.Promise. C.Duty. D.Excuse. 3.According to the passage, what should parents do when children make mistakes? A.Understand them and tell them not to do that again. B.Let them learn the mistakes by themselves in time. C.Compare them with brighter brothers or sisters. D.Correct their mistakes immediately. 4.What does the author mainly talk about in this passage? A.The duties of parents. B.The best way to teach children. C.The reason why children feel stupid and unworthy. D.The reason why parents owe their children something.
It is a long time since I took up teaching. During my teaching career, I often ask my students to read the text until they can recite them, and I tell them that recitation is an important part of their homework. However, some of my students are tired of doing so, thinking that it is both hard and useless. They argue that it takes a long time to recite a text from memory and text itself never appears in a test paper. In my opinion, it does take time to recite a text, but it is worth doing so. When you are able to recite a text, you are sure to be familiar with the words and expressions. When you need them in reading or writing or doing exercises, they will come to your mind quickly, and so you will give quick response to all kinds of language situation. How can we say that it is useless? Besides, many students complain that they soon forget what they were once able to recite. This is true, but you don't need to worry. While you are reading and forgetting the texts, your language level is being raised. Sure you don't remember your Chinese texts that you once read in the primary school, but now you are able to read novels and newspaper. So , recitation of the texts will help you improve your language ability． 1.What do the students think about the teacher's advice? ______ A.The English teacher asks them to do something useless． B.The English teacher is very kind to them． C.The English teacher should let them study on their own． D.The English teacher tries his best to help them with English． 2.According to the text，which of the following is correct? ______ A.The teacher thinks the students are too naughty to learn English well． B.The students think they spend a lot of time in reciting the texts and get nothing． C.The students say that they often forget the words． D.The students take no interest in English． 3.When the students are against his suggestion, the writer ______ ． A.often criticizes them B.wants to give up his idea C.patiently explains to them why they should recite the texts D.is afraid that he is criticized by the headmaster． 4.Why does the writer suggest that the students recite the text? ______ A.Reciting the texts can greatly improve the classroom teaching． B.Reciting the texts is the best way of learning English． C.The students should remember all the texts that the teacher has taught them． D.Reciting the texts can improve the ability of applying (应用)English．

In America, experts find that campus jobs can help students not only in their studies，but also in their lives after school. That is why more and more universities are providing work experience for students. In 2011, Clemson University, a public university in South Carolina, asked Neil Burton, head of the Career Center, to develop a program that was not only a way of creating more jobs，but also a way to provide special positions that would teach students valuable skills related to their interests or fields of study. It also wanted the students to work in professional (专业的) environments that would provide useful experience in their job searches after college. The program works like this: any professor or student in Clemson University in need of professional help can come up with a plan. This could be a biology professor looking for a research assistant, or an administrator who needs help raising donations (捐赠物) for the school. It can also be any outside organization that works with Clemson University, such as a company that is designing new building for the campus. If the position meets the conditions of the program，it will be listed on Clemson University’s website. Students ask to be thought for the job and go through an interview(面试). If accepted, students are allowed to work for one term. Before they start, they are also required to take a class that tells them what to expect in the position. Finally, at the end of the term, students are tested on what they have learned from the experience. The program has been a success from the very start. By 2014, Clemson University had 626 students working through the program. And Burton believes the program will have helped over 1，000 students by 2019. “This is not just a success for the school. Students who take part in the program are 20% more likely to have a full-time job offer once they finish their studies. After all, every day spent in college should help prepare students for what comes after, not just classwork,” says Burton. 1.Why did Clemson University ask Burton to develop the program? A. To help poor students find jobs. B. To research the relationship between studies and jobs. C. To prepare students for the future after graduation. D. To prepare some professional suggestions for Clemson University. 2.Which is the right order of the things a student should do to work through the program? a. Ask for a position. b. Take a class. c. Be tested. d. Work for one term. e. Have an interview. A. a, b, c, e, d. B. b, c, a, d, e. C. a, e, b, c, d. D. a, e, b, d, c. 3.What can we know from Burton’s words in the last paragraph? A. Campus jobs only help students in their studies. B. Colleges can provide students with full-time jobs. C. The program benefits students greatly. D. Students working through the program are sure to find good jobs. 4.In which part of a website can we read the passage? A. Technology. B. Education. C. Travel. D. Society.
