What makes a good school?
I'm a parent of two elementary students．The experience that my children are going through now in the elementary school is so different from mine when I was at their age．What I think of a good school is communication between teachers．students and parents． 1 Parent-teaeher communication guarantees that a child is educated in the same way and in turn a child will build special bonds in communication between their teachers and parents．
2 My children return home telling me that their teachers ignore their questions when they raise their hands and don’t talk much．On the other hand，I feel the same when I write notes to school． 3 This is telling me there is a lack in communication from the school teachers nowadays as their life is so overwhelmed by the over-crowded schools we have in the US．
However．choosing a career in education is not just for a good job．A teacher should really have heart in touching every child’s life． 4 Even now，I still remember all my elementary school teachers’names． 5 The answer lies in the fact that they spent every minute of their precious time helping me and answering all my questions with patience．When you have teachers who are willing to spend time for any child and communicate with parents，it is what I consider a GREAT school for a child to attend，not just GOOD．
A．I don’t get any response from the teachers to my questions，not even a one-word response．
B．There are different ways of communication, according to different cultures．
C．Why is that?
D．Strong communication is very important to a child’s education．
E．I feel that schools nowadays don’t communicate with parents enough and neither is involvement．
F．My elementary school teachers all touched my life．
G．What do you think of it?

Today，kids have more worries and face more pressures than ever before.____1Here are a few tips to help your child focus on and do well in school.
●Create a personal schedule
Recording everything that must be done on a calendar or “to do” list will help him to keep track of important dates and deadlines.If he keeps it in a visible place he will have no problem acknowledging upcoming events and will be better able to plan how and where to spend his time.
●Watch the clock
　2　 I also recommend setting his clock or watch five minutes ahead since it's always easy to run late.When it comes to something like catching a bus，just five minutes can make a significant difference.
●Focus
He should train himself to be able to concentrate alone on one specific task.This is much easier in a noise­free environment.No TV or radio should be on to distract him.
●　3　
Lack of sleep is proven to harm us physically.The more sleep we get，the more alert we are.We thus have more energy to handle life's daily tasks.The average adult needs at least six hours of sleep a night and the average child needs at least eight.
●Stay in shape
Through spending time outdoors or playing sports with friends，he can “blow off some steam” so to speak，as well as re­energize.　4　
●Talk through your problems
Be able to share his concerns with you. 　5　 If you make it clear that you understand him and are willing to help，not only will you contribute to his emotional health but you'll help build an open and honest relationship as well.
A．Sharing feelings often makes them easier to deal with.
B．Help your child work better to realize his aim.
C．Setting an alarm for the morning is a must.
D．Get enough sleep.
E．Help your child do better in school.
F．Encourage your child to be positive.
G．Encourage him to get outside.
本文主要就孩子如何在学校如何能够集中注意力并觉得更好，给出了自己的建议。
1．E主题型。在本文的第二句“Here are a few tips to help your child focus on and do well in school.”点明了此题的主题，故E项用在空白处作题目为最佳选项。
2．C承上启下型。由设空处前面的标题以及后面提到设闹钟的有关事项，故选C项。
3．D主题型。由后文提到的睡眠的有关信息，可知空白处应选D项。
4．G承上启下型。设空所在段主要讲述了要保持身体，多去外面锻炼，故选G项。
5．A承上启下型。与前句相衔接，分享你的担心，分享情感，故选A项。

Be on time

根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，选项中有两项为多余选项。
About 2 months ago I realized how often my mother's caregiver(看护者)would do kind things for me. 1 She always does things which touch me so mush, like picking oranges and juicing them, making my bed for me when my muscles are so tight I can’t bend over easily, clearing the leaves and weeding the front yard..... those kinds of things.
2 But I decided to help her, since she is paid a set wage by the agency we went through, and has a large family to raise. I would put a dollar in a decorative box every time I see one of those kinds of things that she has done for me.
I have already changed out 20 single dollar bills for a $20 bill TWICE and have probably about $70 in there. 3 When the time comes (and it will, probably this year) when we can no longer afford a caregiver for my mother, I will have a box of money that will say thank you in a clear way.
4 She is our own precious angel. And while I know she does these things out of kindness and love for us, it will be my chance to do something out of love and kindness for her. Because it is just a dollar every now and then, it is hardly missed. But in 6 months, or however long it is before the money runs out, it will have grown to quite a bundle of love.
I don’t want the day to come when she will no longer be with us. The reason is that I will miss her presence terribly. 5
A．However, I can hardly wait to give box of money to her!
B．Not just little things, but only things.
C．It is just like all the bundles of things she has done for me.
D．We’ve had her for 2.5 years, and she's like family to us.
E．I always thank her, and she says she enjoys it.
F．That’s my own “thank you for your many kindnesses” box.
G．It hopefully will help to tide her over until she gets a new job.

The hardest language
People often ask which is the most difficult language to learn, and it is not easy to answer because there are many factors to take into consideration. Firstly, in a first language the differences are unimportant as people learn their mother tongue naturally. 1
A native speaker of Spanish, for example, will find Portuguese much easier to learn than a native speaker of Chinese, for example, because Portuguese is very similar to Spanish, while Chinese is very different. 2 The greater the differences between the second language and our first, the harder it will be for most people to learn.
3 Teachers and the circumstances in which the language is learned also play an important role, as well as each learner’s motivation for learning. If people learn a language because they need to use it professionally, they often learn it faster than people studying a language that has no direct use in their day to day life.
Apparently, British diplomats and other embassy staff have found that the second hardest language is Japanese, which will probably come as no surprise to many, but the language that they have found to be the most problematic is Hungarian, which has 35 forms of a nouns according to whether it is subject, object, etc.
4 In the case of Hungarian for British learners, it is not a question of the writing system, which uses a similar alphabet, but the grammatical complexity, though native speakers of related languages may find it easier, while struggling with languages that the British find relatively easy.
No language is easy to learn well, though languages which are related to our first language are easier. Learning a completely different writing system is a huge challenge, but that does not necessarily make a language more difficult than another. 5
A. In this case, first language can affect learning a second language.
B. Therefore, it is difficult to gain a good knowledge of every language.
C. Some people seem to learn languages readily, while others find it very difficult.
D. This does not mean that Hungarian is the hardest language to learn for everyone.
E. Individuals from different cultures will find different languages more difficult.
F. It is impossible to say that there is one language that is the most difficult language in the world.
G. So the question of how hard a language is to learn is only relevant when learning a second language.
【答案与解析】世界上哪门语言最难?其实，学习任何一门外语都是巨大的挑战。事物都是相对的，没有哪门语言最难学。
1．G根据前一句的内容可知学习一门语言的困难问题只是相对于学习第二语言而言的。
2．A本段前半部分提到西班牙人觉得学习葡萄牙语比中国人学习葡萄牙语更加容易，因为葡萄牙语和西班牙语相似，而汉语则大不相同。由此可知在这种情况下，第一语言会影响第二语言的学习。
3.C本段阐述的是影响语言学习以及学习进度的因素，说明为什么学习语言时有的人觉得容易，而有的人觉得很难。
4．E本段中提到英国人学习匈牙利语时的难度不在于书写而在于复杂的语法；而说匈牙利语本族语的人可能觉得语法更加容易，却在艰难地学习英国人认为相对容易的语言。由此可知来自不同文化背景的人会发现学习不同的语言更加有难度。
5．F本段中提到没有一门语言很容易就可以把它学好，学习一门书写完全不同的语言是一个巨大的挑战，但这并不意味着这门语言比另外一门语言更加难学，所以没有哪一门语言是世界上最难的语言，由此可判断F项符合此处语境。
