阅读理解2017·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.

Tropical fish hobbyists will tell you their tanks are a source of relaxation，but recent research suggests the fish might disagree.
Many American households contain a fish tank，whose average size is less than 10 gallons.Yet a study comparing the behavior of common freshwater fish found that those kept in such small tanks were more aggressive than those in larger ones and were more likely to fight.
“If people kept dogs in these conditions，they'd be put in prison，” said the author，Ronald Oldfield.“In larger tanks，the fish were not in continuous eyesight of each other.They were swimming around，checking everything out rather than beating each other，” he added.“It's something we should think about.”
The study consisted of two experiments.In one，Dr.Oldfield tested the effects of overcrowding by keeping tank size constant (不变) while increasing the number of fish.In the other，he tested environment by placing three fish in tanks of different sizes.He then recorded their behavior at least two hours after feeding，to eliminate (排除)competitive behaviors related to food.While aggression seemed to remain constant regardless of the number of fish in a tank，it dropped off considerably once the fish were placed in a 100gallon tank with several plants and rocks to form shelters.
The findings confirmed what he found when observing Midas in the wild.“If you go out and observe these fish swimming in a river，” he said，“they're not aggressive at all，really.” This conclusion is not news to Justin Muir，the owner of a fish tank business.“More volume of water is always better.It keeps the fish healthier，and the tank is more stable.”

(2016·济南高三模拟) At exactly eleven Sir Percival knocked and entered, with anxiety and worry in every line of his face. This meeting would decide his future life, and he obviously knew it.
“You may wonder, Sir Percival，” said Laura calmly, “if I am going to ask to be released
(免除)
from my promise to marry you. I am not going to ask this. I respect my father's wishes too much.”
His face relaxed a little, but one of his feet kept beating the carpet.
“No, if we are going to withdraw (退出) from our planned marriage, it will be because of your wish, not mine.”
“Mine？” he said in great surprise. “What reason could I have for withdrawing？”
“A reason that is very hard to tell you，” she answered. “There is a change in me.”
His face went so pale that even his lips lost their color. He turned his head to one side.
“What change？” he asked, trying to appear calm.
“When the promise was made two years ago，”
she said, “my love did not belong to anyone. Will you forgive me, Sir Percival, if I tell you that it now belongs to another person？”
“I wish you to understand，” Laura continued, “that I will never see this person again, and that if you leave me, you only allow me to remain a single woman for the rest of my life. All I ask is that you forgive me and keep my secret.”
“I will do both those things，” he said. Then he looked at Laura, as if he was waiting to hear more.
“I think I have said enough to give you reason to withdraw from our marriage，” she added quietly.
“No. You have said enough to make it the dearest wish of my life to marry you，” he said.
