(2014·江西省抚州五校高三第六次联考)
Parents who are thinking of sending their children to private schools often weigh the advantages and disadvantages because not all people can afford to send their children to these schools.They are definitely not cheap.There is also the anxiety of being separated
from
their
children.However，there
are
many advantages private schools can have over public schools.
Small class sizes—Private schools have a significant difference in terms of class size from public schools.While typical public schools may have class sizes ranging from 30－40 (some even more)，private schools keep their class sizes small (usually from 4 to 15 )．Children are less likely to be overlooked when class sizes are this small.Teachers can easily spot students who are having difficulties with their lessons；they can form a more positive relationship with them，and students can feel that they are given more attention in class.
Excellent facilities—Many private schools have facilities that are on a par with universities and they have the space and
the means to allow children to explore many different kinds of
afterschool programs such as sports，performing arts，and more.Such programs can help young people become wellrounded individuals.It’s one of the private school advantages that they will take with them well into their adulthood.
Teachers—Generally，private schools pride themselves with the fact that they hire teachers who have advanced degrees in their field and who belong to diverse cultures.
Administration—Public school systems are likely to make it difficult to implement positive changes that can benefit the staff and the students.Since private schools are structured differently，it’s easier to make changes and carry them out without having to go through all that red tape.
Funding—Private schools are funded by tuition fees，donations，and other sources of income.If they need money to improve facilities or hire more staff，they always have the option to increase the tuition fee or explore other means of obtaining income.
1．Why are some parents unwilling to send their children to private schools?
①The fees are high.
②Private schools have different school systems.
③The teachers belong to diverse cultures.
④Private schools keep the class sizes very small.
⑤ They’re
anxious
about
being
separated
from
their children.
A． B．
C．D．
2．Compared with students in private schools，students in public schools________.
A．are harder to be recognized by their teacher
B．are given more attention in class
C．are more likely to be ignored in class
D．have a closer relation with their teacher
3．What makes it possible for children to have a wide variety of afterschool activities?
A．Teachers.B．Excellent facilities.
C．Small class sizes.D．Administration.
4．What is the meaning of the underlined word “implement” in Paragraph 5?

(2014·江西省九校高三第二次联考)
[1]Environment is very important to a student’s success.A child who is in comfortable environment learns more and enjoys class better than a child who is not.A classroom with good decoration such as the students’ art works，and enticing games and crafts makes for an inviting opportunity for the students to learn while still having fun.Classrooms need to be fun and
rewarding while
still offering high
standards of education.
[2]Children need to feel welcomed and safe in their learning environment.If________________at school with bullies or a teacher，the parents should consult the school system to resolve
the problem.Pay attention to your children.Ask how their day at school went，ask what they learned，and always be attentive to any problem they speak of.
[3]Learning for a child should be fun and entertaining.No one likes to feel forced to do something they do not want to do.Fun learning allows for children to learn and not really even realize they are doing so.Children like to feel smart and special.Smaller classrooms allow for more oneonone time between student and teacher.This can often greatly improve students’ learning.Keeping up with the class makes a child feel more comfortable and more eager to attend class and try to learn.Smaller classrooms also ensure that children receive recognition for a job well done.This boosts selfconfidence as well as the eagerness to learn.
[4]We cannot expect school to be the only comfortable environment a child needs to be in.A child’s home life can affect how they feel about school.Actually，learning is about how we feel about ourselves.Environment is important but as you can see it is not all matters in the learning process.
