Day 6教育AParents should stop blaming themselves because there' s not a lot they can do about it. I mean the teenager problem. Whatever you do or however you choose to deal with it, at certain times a wonderful, reasonable and helpful child will turn into a terrible animal.Ive seen friends deal with it in all kinds of different ways. One strict mother insisted that her son, right from a child, should stand up whenever anyone entered the room, open doors and shake hands like a gentleman. I saw him last week when I called round. Sprawling himself (懒散地躺) on the sofa in full length, he made no attempt to turn off the loud TV he was watching as I walked in, and his greeting was no more than a quick glance at me. His mother was ashamed. "I don' t know what to do with him these days," she said. "He' s forgotten all the manners we taught him.”He hasn' t forgotten them. He' s just decided that he' s not going to use them. She confessed (坦白) that she would like to come up behind him and throw him down from the sofa onto the floor.Another good friend of mine let her two daughters climb all over the furniture, reach across the table, stare at me and say, "I don' t like your dress; it' s ugly. " One of the daughters has recently been driven out of school. The other has left home."Where did we go wrong?" her parents are now very sad. Probably nowhere much. At least, no more than the rest of that unfortunate race, parents.1. The boy on the sofa would most probably be described as _.A. lazy              B. quietC. unusual              D. rude2.

She wanted to learn Chinese, as she believed that it would help her land a good job.She has just completed the hanyu Shuiping Kaoshi (HSK) 3 exam. HSK is a test of Chinese language level for non-native speakers, organized by the Confucius Institute Headquarters.However, this level isnt enough for Wanjiku, who plans to pass HSK 6. She wanted to increase her level of Chinese and improve her spoken Chinese. And Wanjiku isnt alone. The number of people taking the HSK reached 6.8 million in 2018 and went up 4.6 percent from a year earlier, the Ministry of Education said on May 31.Chinese is becoming an increasingly popular choice of language to study around the world. Currently, middle school students in Russia can take Chinese as an elective language test in the countrys national college entrance exam, Sputnik News reported.In May, Zambia became the fourth country in Africa-after Kenya, Uganda and South Africato introduce Chinese language to its schools.And many English-speaking countries have shown an interest in allowing their students to learn Chinese. The US government announced the launch of “1 Million Strong” in 2015, a plan that aims to bring the total number of learners of Chinese to l million by 2020.Behind the growing popularity of Chinese language learning is the international communitys positive attitude toward Chinas future development, as well as the peoples longing to learn about Chinese civilization and culture.Indeed, its as the former president of South Africa Nelson Mandela put it, “if you talk to a man in a language he understands, that goes to his head. If you talk to him in his own language, that goes to his heart.”1. What did Wanjiku do after graduating from university?A She went abroad.              B. She learned Chinese.C.

Different Opinions about the Function of ChineseCAccording to a survey, in Washington, DC, only 69 percent of public school students graduate from high school on time. Many factors influence that low rate. One of the most important ones is whether the people around the students expect them to succeed.So, for the past 40 years,a DC organization has stepped in to give around 10,000 students the support and positive environment they need to thrive. This organization, called Higher Achievement, provides students with a welcoming space, help with class work, and caring teachers. More than 95 percent of students who complete Higher Achievement graduate from high school on time. Katherine Roboff is the group's executive director in the DC area. She gives several reasons for the groups success. One is timing. Higher Achievement does not work with students who are already in high school. It works with students in middle school. They start High Achievement at fifth or sixth grade-in the US, that is usually age 11 or 12. Robolf says research shows that if students are doing well academically in eighth grade-around age 13-they will have a greater chance of graduating from high school and going to college. In other words, what happens in middle school has a huge effect.The years between ages 10 and 13 may affect a student's future more than anything that happens academically in high school.Roboff explains that students participate in Higher Achievement after school and during the summer，when public schools take a break of about two months.High Achievement students do homework, have community meetings, and work one-on-one with a mentor（导师）.The purpose of the programme is to help them use those after school and summer hours to become better prepared academically and to develop their leadership skills and confidence so that by the time they get into eighth grade they are ready to get into some of the top high school.”1. What can we infer from the second paragraph?A. Higher Achievement works with college students.B. Many students have doubts about the organization.C. Higher Achievement has spread throughout the Us.D.

If students are doing well academically in eighth grade,          .A. they are certain to go to collegeB they are to succeed when they grow upC. they are more likely to finish high school on timeD. they don't need any help in their studies3. What does the underlined word in the second paragraph probably mean?A. become naughty              B. improve themselvesC. earn more money              D. help others4. The last two paragraphs tell us          .A. public schools never offer positive environmentB. Higher Achievement only helps the students in the eighth gradeC. how Higher Achievement helps those studentsD. Higher Achievement only helps those who have good skills.DIf you re a student, developing the following skills will help you achieve success in school and in life.Time management. High-school students have an average of 35 hours per week of class time and college students have an average of 15 to 18 hours per week. Manage your free time wisely and you'll make full use of each day.Good study habits. If youve got them, its great. If not, there's still time to develop them.
