Raised in a fatherless home, my father was extremely tightfisted towards us children. His attitude didn't soften as I grew into adulthood and went to college. I had to ride the bus whenever I came home. Though the bus stopped about two miles from home, Dad never met me, even in severe weather. If I grumbled,_he'd say in his loudest fathervoice, “That's what your legs are for！”
The walk didn't bother me as much as the fear of walking alone the highway and country roads. I also felt less than valued that my father didn't seem concerned about my safety. But that feeling was canceled one spring evening.
It had been a particularly difficult week at college after long hours in labs. I longed for home. When the bus reached a stop, I
stepped off and dragged my suitcase to begin the long journey home.
A row of hedge(树篱) edged the driveway that climbed the hill to our house. Once I had turned off the highway to start the last lap of my journey, I always had a sense of relief
to see the hedge because it meant that I was almost home. On that particular evening the hedge had just come into view when I saw something gray moving along the top of the hedge, moving toward the house. Upon close observation, I realized it was the top of my father's head. Then I knew, each time I'd come home, he had stood behind the hedge, watching, until he knew I had arrived safely. I swallowed hard against the tears. He did care, after all.
On later visits, that spot of gray became my watchtower.
I could hardly wait until I was close enough to watch for its secret movement above the greenery. Upon reaching home, I would find my father sitting innocently in his chair. “So! My son, it's you！” he'd say, his face lengthening into pretended surprise.
I replied，“Yes, Dad, it's me. I'm home.”

Parents who help their children with homework may actually be bringing down their school grades.Other forms of parental_involvement，including volunteering at school and observing a child's class，also fail to help，according to the most recent study on the topic.
The findings challenge a key principle of modern parenting(养育子女) where schools expect them to act as partners in their children's education.Previous generations concentrated on getting children to school on time，fed，dressed and ready to learn.
Keith Robinson，the author of the study，said，“I really don't know if the public is ready for this but there are some ways parents can be involved in their kids' education that leads to declines in their academic performance.One of the things that was consistently negative was parents' help with homework.”Robinson suggested that may be because parents themselves struggle to understand the tasks.“They may either not remember the material their kids are studying now，or in some cases never learnt it themselves，but they're still offering advice.”
Robinson assessed parental involvement performance and found one of the most damaging things a parent could do was to punish their children for poor marks.In general，about 20% of parental involvement was positive，about 45% negative and the rest statistically insignificant.
Common sense suggests it was a good thing for parents to get involved because “children with good academic success do have involved parents”，admitted Robinson.But he argued that this did not prove parental involvement was the root cause of that success.“A big surprise was that AsianAmerican parents whose kids are doing so well in school hardly involved.They took a more reasonable approach，conveying to their children how success at school could improve their lives.”
文章大意：文章和很多人预期不同的是，父母过度的参与孩子的教育未必有好的效果。父母应该帮助孩子意识到学校教育的重要性。
9．The underlined expression “parental involvement”in Paragraph 1 probably means ________.
A．parents' expectation on children's health
B．parents' participation in children's education
C．parents' control over children's life
D．parents' plan for children's future
答案：B 句意理解题。根据第一段的句子：Other forms of parental involvement, including volunteering at school and observing a child's class可知，“parental involvement”指的是“父母参与孩子的教育”，故选B。
10．What is the major finding of Robinson's study?
A．Modern parents raise children in a more scientific way.
B．Punishing kids for bad marks is mentally damaging.
C．Parental involvement is not so beneficial as expected.
D．Parents are not able to help with children's homework.
答案：C 细节理解题。根据文章第三段的句子：...but there are some ways parents can be involved in their kids' education that leads to declines in their academic performance.可知，Robinson的研究发现是父母参与孩子的教育没有预料的那么有效，故选C。
11．The example of AsianAmerican parents implies that parents should ________.
A．help children realize the importance of schooling
B．set a specific life goal for their children
C．spend more time improving their own lives
D．take a more active part in school management
答案：A 细节理解题。根据文章最后一段的句子：They took a more reasonable approach, conveying to their children how success at school could improve their lives.可知，美国父母的例子暗示父母应该帮助孩子意识到学校教育的重要性，故选A。

After achieving a 9 percent GDP growth, hosting a successful Olympic Games and carrying out its first space walk, you'd think China would be happy. Yet China is not pleased. That, at least, is the opinion of a new book written by a group of Chinese authors.
China Is Not Happy was released in March. It is a followup to the 1996 work China Can Say No, a bestseller that complained about the influence of the West, and the US in particular, on China. Thirteen years later, the authors of China Is Not Happy list their dissatisfaction with_how_China_is_being_treated_in_the_world_today. They argue that China needs to use its growing power and economic resources to build its own position of outstanding performances. “From looking at the history of human civilization, we are most qualified to lead this world. Westerners should be second，” the book says.
The authors single out the US for special scorn(轻蔑), and say their book's message has been helped by the economic crisis. “This economic problem has shown the Chinese people that America does have problems, and that what we've been saying is right，” said Wang Xiaodong, one of the authors in an interview with The Wall Street Journal.
Since released on March 13, the book has become a bestseller in many Chinese bookstores. The publisher has printed 270,000 copies, and says sales are far better than expected.
Several reviews in the Chinese media have criticized the book's radical(激进) opinions. The book is a way to “fish money from the pockets of the angry youth and angry elderly，” wrote one critic in the China Youth Daily. Meanwhile, a wellknown sociologist, Li Yinhe, has said that China needs patriotism(爱国精神), but there is a limit.
Wang Xiaodong admitted in an interview with the US' Time magazine that the book's title is a bit of a trick. “Those words in the title are just for the purpose of promoting the book in the marketplace，” he says.“We didn't choose them. It was the people selling the book who chose the title.”
文章大意：本文是主要介绍《中国不高兴》这本书的出版原因和出版意图。
12．In the book China Is Not Happy, the authors express their dissatisfaction with ________.
A．the influence of western countries on China
B．the relationship in economy between China and western countries
C．China's position in the international stage in the world today

A．China has made great historical breakthroughs in the past several years.
B．China's civilization has advantages over the westerners'.
C．China needs to use its growing power and economic resources to build its own world position.
D．China should be the number one leader in the world.
答案：A 细节理解题。根据文章的第一段中国这几年GDP一直在增加，但并没有那么大的突破。故选A。
14．We can infer from the fifth paragraph ________.
A．some of the responses to the book is negative
B．the youth and the elderly in China are angry with the book
C．the authors of the book are reporters and sociologists
D．many Chinese express their radical opinions
答案：A 推理判断题。根据该段criticized, fish money, limit等可推知，人们对该书有反对声音。故选A。

B．it reflects the national feelings of Chinese people
C．the authors of the book asked them to do so

答案：D 推理判断题。根据文章最后一段的第一、二句话可推断作者起这样的书名就是该书的卖点。还有文章的最后一句话也可推断。故选D。

Katie was in big trouble.She was such a sweet kid; a thirdgrade teacher always dreamed of having a classroom filled with Katies; she was never ever a discipline(纪律) problem. I just couldn't imagine why she had made her parents so angry.
It seemed that Katie had been running up sizable charges in the lunchroom.Her parents explained that Katie brought a great homemade lunch each day, and there was no reason for her to buy school lunch. They assumed a sitdown with Katie would solve the problem, but failed.So they asked me to help them get to the bottom of this situation.
So the next day, I asked Katie to my office.“Why are you charging lunches, Katie? What happened to your homemade lunch？” I asked. “I lose it，” she responded. I leaned back in my chair and said, “I don't believe you, Katie.” She didn't care.“Is someone stealing your lunch, Katie？” I took a new track. “No.I just lose it，” she said.Well, there was nothing else I could do.
The problem was still unsolved the next week when I noticed a boy who was new to the school sitting alone at a lunch table. He always looked sad.I thought I would go and sit with him for a while.As I walked towards him, I noticed the lunch bag on the table. The name on the bag said “ Katie ” .
Now I understood and I talked to Katie.It seemed that the new boy never brought a lunch, and he wouldn't go to the lunch line for a free lunch.He had told Katie his secret and asked her not to tell anyone that his parents wanted him to get a free lunch at school. Katie asked me not to tell her parents, but I drove to her house that evening after I was sure that she was in bed. I had never seen parents so proud of their child.Katie didn't care that her parents and teacher were disappointed in her.But she cared about a little boy who was hungry and scared.

mom hands her a delicious homemade lunch.
