Long ago, most children who were educated received their schooling at home. Then public schools ( 公立学校 ） de veloped, and children began to be educated in the classroom. But these days, learning at home is becoming more and more popular in some countries.
Before the 17th century, almost all children learned the things they needed at home. There were very few private schools ( 私立学校 ）， which were very expensive. Most children received their education through homeschooling. Of course, it changed when public schools were introduced in the US in the 1600s. Parents did not need to teach at home if they could send their children to school to learn from a teacher. The parents were happy, even if the kids were not. In the middle of the 20th century, some parents went back to the old way of teaching their children. They became homeschoolers.
The number of students being homeschooled in the US is getting bigger and bigger . In 2007 there were about 15 million students being homeschooled. By 2011, the number had reached almost 1.8 million. That is only about 34% of the total student population in the US, but the number is growing.
Perhaps one of the main reasons that parents prefer homeschooling is that they are becoming smarter about it. Fifty years ago, parents who homeschooled were on their own. They had very little help outside of the family. Now there are homeschool groups, visiting teachers, school textbooks, and even the Internet to guide parents. It is not likely that homeschooling will replace ( 代 替 ） public schools, but the number of homeschooling is likely to continue to rise.
(1) What is this passage about?
A. Public schools. B. Education at home.
C. History of American education. D. How to teach children at home.
(2) When did the public schools start to open in America?
A. In the 1600s. B. In the 1900s. C. In 2007. D. In 2011.
(3) Why is homeschooling becoming more popular according to the last paragraph?
A. Parents get more help about homeschooling.
B. Students are not doing so well in school.
C. Studying at home is more comfortable.
D. Public schools are getting worse.

(4) According to the passage, in the future more and more parents will_.
A. send their children to school
B. ask teachers to teach at home
C. homeschool their children
D. let their children learn on the internet
(5) The passage is probably a/an _.

People are the only animals that can cry. We cry when we are sad, and when we are happy . 1 When someone dies, we cry. When a baby is born, we cry too. But what are tears? Where do they come from? 2
3 Emotional tears come from feelings, happiness or sadness. Reflex tears are the kind that comes when we get a piece of dirt in the eye. But nobody knows where tears come from. William Frey is studying tears. Frey's study shows that women cry more
often than men. 4 He also has a theory about why people cry, but it is only a
theory. He has not proved it yet. Crying can remove the poi sons —p roduced by emotional stress or physical st ress—in the body and helps people stay healthy.
5 They say it helps people feel relaxed. Crying can keep us away from illnesses and keep us well. For our health and happiness, it may be good for all of us, men and women, to have a good cry more often.
A. We cry for thousands of different reasons.
B. Scientists also believe that crying is good for you.
C. However, his study does not tell us why women cry more.
D. There are two different kinds of tears—emot ional tears and reflex tears.
