But a school in the UK is changing that. As well as assessing their students, it is dishing out grades to mums and dads. Parents that are really involved in their kids' education are rewarded with an A,and parents that havent done their bit get a disappointing D.    The school, Greasley Beau vale Primary in Nottinghamshire, uses standard such as whether mums and clads have attended school events such as plays and parent teacher evenings to decide on the grade. The schools principal, Donna Chambers, said that the scheme had been well received.    “There were some critics. In spite of it, between 15 per cent and 20 per cent of parents started out in the lower categories but now that has been reduced to just two per cent," she explained.    Chambers hopes that the scheme will help motivate parental involvement. “The scheme is important because you have got to get the parents on hoard from day one. That one hour initial conversation saying they could improve will make a difference to the rest of that kid's academic life, "she said.    But while the scheme may be full of good intentions, it is likely to be connected with parent shaming. There are lots of reasons why some mums and dads might not be involved in school activities such as work commitments, looking after younger children or caring for elderly relatives.    And of course, being involved in your kids education doesn't begin and end at school. There is a lot that goes on behind the scenes from helping with homework to keeping uniforms freshly washed. And what about the parents who stay up sewing special costumes at the last minute? Surely that earns a gold star instead of a grade!1.What do schools usually do at the end of the school year?A.Evaluating kids performances.B.Making Christmas cards.C.Dividing candies.D.Grading parents.2.What does the author think of parents being involved in kids education?A.It adds to parents burden.B.It brings shame to parents.C.It means far more than being graded.D.It increases parents' commitment to education.3.What is the passage mainly about?A.There is too much stress for parents about their kids' academic life.B.Parents as well as their children are on the list of the school year report.C.Parents should be involved in kids school life.D.Whether a parent is excellent depends on the grade he gets.8.    In 1888 Richard Wetherill and his brother-in-law were searching for some missing cattle on Mesa Verde in Colorado. They came to the edge of a deep gorge where they saw what looked like a small city across the gorge. It was hanging in the middle of the rock wall. There were many connected rooms built into a natural opening in the rock. They named the ruins Cliff Palace. In the next few days, they found two more large ruins.    Later Richard Wetherill and his family collected many objects, including cooking pots by the fireplaces. Their finds gradually became known in the eastern US and in Europe, attracting others to do the same. Many people were shocked by the continuing removal of objects from the ruins. A woman named Virginia McClurg campaigned throughout the country' to get laws to save the cliff dwellings(住宅). Finally, on June 29th,1906,President Roosevelt signed a bill creating Mesa Verde National Park. It was the first National Park designed lo protect the works of humans.    The best-known cliff dwelling is Cliff Palace. Dating back over 700 years, the dwelling is constructed of sandstone and wooden beams. Many of the rooms were brightly painted. Cliff Palace was home to approximately 125 people, but was likely an important part of a larger community of sixty nearby pueblos. With 23 kivas(大地穴) and 150 rooms, Cliff Palace is the largest cliff dwelling in Mesa Verde National Park.Mesa Verde, “green table” in Spanish, is recognised as a special place today. About 500,000 people visit it each year. Many objects the ancient Pueblo people used were recovered and are shown in the visitors centre. However, human remains or any object from a grave may not be touched or shown.
