"It takes an entire village to raise a child." That's an old proverb (諺語(yǔ)) that is being quoted more and more often these days. And I'm pleased about that.

Today, more and more schools are reaching out to involve parents, community members and businesses（工商企業(yè)）to help shape a child's future.

Parents need to be involved in their children's education in many ways. Helping children with homework and studying, going on a field trip, teaching a craft（手工藝）or coaching a child's sports team are all great ways to be involved with your child's education. And don't forget to communicate with teachers ---- they need and respect your input. Studies show that children learn more and schools function better when parents and schools work together. It's important to stay in touch with your child's education all through his or her school career.

Communities can help children create and achieve new goals. Help with homework, read to a child, coach a children's team, or provide emotional（情感上的）support. Help solve problems and build self-esteem（自尊心）. Kids need role models and advisers can be role models by sharing their experiences and wisdom.

Businesses can also help shape our children's future. Invite a class from your local school to visit your workplace. You may be providing a glimpse that opens a new world of possibilities. Show students what goes on during a typical day. Give a mini course for students: how to use a computer; how products are made; how machinery works. You may have a developing electrician, teacher, nurse, or even a newspaper reporter on your hands.

It really does take an entire village to raise a child．So share the responsibility（職責(zé)）-- and the joy -- of bringing a child to his or her full potential（潛能）.

The implied advice in the proverb "It takes an entire village to raise a child." is that ______.

       A．All the people in a village should give food to a child.

       B．Schools, parents, and other organizations should share the responsibility of shaping a

child's future.

       C．Children should be brought up in the village where they were born.

       D．Schools should be set up in the village where a child was raised.

The text was written mainly for ______.

       A．parents and members in organizations

       B．teachers and students

       C．newspaper reporters and developing electricians

       D．education experts and government officials

Students can get developed in practical working skill through ______.

       A．parental involvement      B．community activities

       C．business training            D．school teaching

Which is NOT true according to the passage?

       A．Parents play an important part in children’s education.

       B．Communities have not a bit effect on the way to new and high ideal.

       C．Educating a child well demands of the work not only from school but from other

organizations.

       D．Businesses may arrange some training courses for students.

【小題1】B

【小題2】A

【小題3】C

【小題4】B


解析:

這是一篇教育類短文。文章闡述的是“孩子們的成才需要社會(huì)各界的共同參與”。

【小題1】句義推測(cè)題，解答此題切不可從字面上理解，諺語(yǔ)中的an entire village不是“全村莊”之意，應(yīng)該引申為“社會(huì)各界”，即：短文中的“parents, community members and businesses”。

【小題2】主旨意圖題，綜合全文可以推斷作者的寫作意圖是“號(hào)召人們參與孩子的教育和培養(yǎng)”，所以此文主要為“parents and members in organizations”所作。

【小題3】從倒數(shù)第二段中可以看出，“孩子們的實(shí)踐操作能力主要來(lái)自工商企業(yè)的培訓(xùn)”。

【小題4】not a bit意為“一點(diǎn)也不，根本沒有”，等于“not at all”。第四段的意義可驗(yàn)證答案。

When several different people look at the same person, it’s not unusual for each of them to see different things; when you alone observe one behavior or one person at two different times, you may see different things. The following are but some of the factors that lead to these changing perceptions(感知認(rèn)可)

(1) Each person’s perceptions of others are formed by his or her own cultural conditioning education, and personal experiences.

(2) Sometimes perceptions differ because of what we choose to observe and how we deal with what we’ve observed. It is not necessarily true that person’s perception is based on observations of a particular person. Your observations may be totally controlled by what others have told you about this per??son; or you may focus (聚集) primarily on the situation or role relationship. Most people do not use the same yardstick (標(biāo)準(zhǔn))to measure their parents, their friends, and strangers.

(3) Sometimes we see only what we want to see or don’t see what may be obvious to others because of our own needs, desires, or temporary emotional states. This is a process known as selective perception. Selective perception is obviously more difficult when contradictory (矛盾的) information is particular??ly obvious, but it can be done. We can ignore (忽視) the stimulus He’s basically a good boy so what I saw was not shoplifting.

We can reduce the importance of the contradictory information — All kids (孩子) get into mischief (頑皮). Taking a book from the bookstore isn’t such a big deal. "We can change the meaning of the contradictory information." It wasn’t shoplifting because he was going to pay for it later. (from www.nmet113.com)

9. The first factor given by the author that affects our perception is ________.

A. the abilities of one’s auditory (聽覺的) and visual (視覺的) sensors

B. cultural background and personal experiences

C. experiences one learns from others

D. critical measures taken by other people

10. While observing a particular person, ________.

A. one is likely to take all aspects (方面) to consideration

B. one pays more attention to his/her advantages

C. children often differ from grown-ups in perception

D. one tends to choose certain cues (提示) to look for

11. Observation of the same person by two people at the same time may differ because________.

A. their measuring yardsticks are not the same

B. either of them may be slow to catch information

C. the time for observation is not long enough

D. each of them uses different language to express his/her impressions

12. The word "stimulus" in paragraph 4 refers to________.

A. something attractive                B. selective perception

C. contradictory information            D. shoplifting

13. The worst thing in selective perception is that________.

A. perceived information runs against your desire

B. facts can be totally ignored or distorted (扭曲)

C. importance of the contradictory information can be overrated (估計(jì)過(guò)高)

D. the same information may not be dealt with in the same way

Most people feel lonely sometimes, but it usually lasts only a few minutes or a few hours．This kind of loneliness is not serious．In fact, it is quite normal．For some people, though, loneliness can last for years．Now researchers say there are three different kinds of loneliness．

The first kind of loneliness is temporary．This is the most common type．It usually disappears quickly and does not need any special attention．

The second kind, situational loneliness, is a natural result of a certain situation, for example, a family problem, the death of a loved one, or moving to a new place．Although this kind of loneliness can cause physical problems, such as headaches and sleeplessness, it usually does not last for more than a year．

The third kind of loneliness is the most severe．Unlike the second type, chronic （長(zhǎng)期的） loneliness usually lasts more than two years and has no specific cause．People who experience habitual loneliness have problems socializing and being close to others．Unfortunately, many chronically lonely people think there is little or nothing they can do to improve their condition．

Psychologists agree that one important factor in loneliness is a person's social contacts, such as friends, family members, co-workers, etc．We depend on various people for different reasons．For instance, our families give us emotional support, our parents and teachers give us guidance, and our friends share interests and activities．However, psychologists have found that, though lonely people have many social contacts, they sometimes feel they should have more．They question then" own popularity．

Psychologists are trying to find ways to help habitually lonely people for two reasons: they are unhappy and unable to socialize and there is a connection between chronic loneliness and serious illness such as heart disease．While temporary and situational loneliness can be a normal and healthy part of life, chronic loneliness can be a very sad and sometimes dangerous condition．

1.Which of the following can be the cause of situational loneliness?

A．Sleeplessness．                  B．Changing work．

C．Heart disease．                  D．Social contacts．

2.The underlined word "it" in the last sentence of the third paragraph refers to _____ ．

A．headaches     B．situational loneliness

C．sleeplessness D．temporary loneliness

3.How would you treat temporary loneliness according to the passage?

A．Just ignore it．                                   B．Talk to friends．

C．Go to see a doctor．             D．Ask your teachers for guidance．

4.What can we learn from the passage?

A．People feel lonely in a certain situation．

B．There are only three types of loneliness in our life．

C．Loneliness doesn't affect people much．

D．Scientists have found ways to help habitually lonely people．

Aimlessness has hardly been typical of the postwar Japan whose productivity and social harmony are the envy of the United States and Europe. But increasingly the Japanese are seeing a decline of the traditional work-moral values. Ten years ago young people were hardworking and saw their jobs as their primary reason for being, but now Japan has largely fulfilled its economic needs, and young people don't know where they should go next.

The coming of age of the postwar baby boom and an entry of women into the male-dominated job market have limited the opportunities of teenagers who are already questioning the heavy personal sacrifices involved in climbing Japans rigid social ladder to good schools and jobs. In a recent survey, it was found that only 24.5 percent of Japanese students were fully satisfied with school life, compared with 67.2 percent of students in the United States. In addition, far more Japanese workers expressed dissatisfaction with their jobs than their counterparts did in the ten other countries surveyed.

While often praised by foreigners for its emphasis on the basics, Japanese education tends to stress test taking and mechanical learning over creativity and self-expression." Those things that do not show up in the test scores, personality, ability, courage or humanity are completely ignored," says Toshiki Kaifu, chairman of the ruling Liberal Democratic Party's education committee." Frustration against this kind of thing leads kids to drop out and run wild." Last year Japan experienced 2,125 incidents of school violence, including 929 assaults on teachers. Amid the outcry, many conservative leaders are seeking a return to the prewar emphasis on moral education. Last year Mitsuo Setoyama, who was then education minister, raised eyebrows when he argued that liberal reforms introduced by the American occupation authorities after World WarⅡ had weakened the "Japanese morality of respect for parents."

But that may have more to do with Japanese life-styles." In Japan," says educator Yoko Muro, "it’s never a question of whether you enjoy your job and your life, but only how much you can endure." With economic growth becoming centralization, fully 76 percent of Japans, 119 million citizens live in cities where community and the extended family have been abandoned in favor of isolated, two generation households. Urban Japanese have long endured lengthy commutes (travels to and from work) and crowded living conditions, but as the old group and family values weaken, the discomfort is beginning to tell. In the past decade, the Japanese divorce rate, while still well below that of the United States, has increased by more than 50 percent, and suicides have increased by nearly one-quarter.

1. In the Westerners eyes, the postwar Japan was_____ .

　A. under aimless development          B. a positive example

　C. a rival to the West                    D. on the decline

2.According to the author, what may chiefly be responsible for the moral decline of Japanese society?

　A. Women's participation in social activities is limited.

　B. More workers are dissatisfied with their jobs.

　C. Excessive emphasis has been placed on the basics.

　D. The life-style has been influenced by Western values.

3.Which of the following is true according to the author?

　A. Japanese education is praised for helping the young climb the social ladder.

　B. Japanese education is characterized by mechanical learning as well as creativity.　　　　

　C. More stress should be placed on the cultivation of creativity.

　D. Dropping out leads to frustration against test taking.

4. The change in Japanese life-style is revealed in the fact that____.

　A. the young are less tolerant of discomforts

　B. the divorce rate in Japan exceeds that in the U.S.

　C. the Japanese endure more than ever before

　D. the Japanese appreciate their present life
