15.Parents do anything they can to give their kids the best education.According to a report published by the Sutton Trust,a third of"professional parents"with children aged between 5and 16have moved to an area,because they think it has good schools^
Some go further:6% of the 1,000parents surveyed said they started to attend church (教堂) services to help their children get a place at a church school; 3% said they used a relative's address to get children into a better school; and 2% said they had bought a second home and used that address for a better school.
It seems strange that parents,while paying close attention to school,seem often to forget a much cheaper way of improving their children's educational situation-a stable (稳定的)family.There are plenty of researches to back all this up:a recent study by the Childhood Wellbeing Research Centre found that children aged seven and older usually (lid more poorly in exams and behaved badly at school if their parents broke up.Another report by the Economic and Social Research Council,found that a stable family life meant children were more likely to take in what was offered in the classroom.According to the Royal College of Psychiatrists,teenagers whose parents were fighting or separating might find it difficult to concentrate (集中注意力)at school.
Of course,many marriages are progressing well even if there're unpleasant matters in life.I've been married for more than a quarter of century,and the one thing I'm sure of is that it's not a bed of roses.I've also got four children aged between 11and 21; and while I'm truly thankful to the many teachers who have taught them,and the schools they've been pupils at,I've felt fairly certain as the years go by that a stable home is much more important than where their school sits in the local league table (排行榜).
So paying a few hundred pounds for a family relationship course could be a much better use of the family's money than spending thousands on moving houses.I can't help wondering whether the only sure winners from the fight to live by the best school gates are house sellers rather than the very children the move is designed to help.

52.According to the Sutton Trust,what's the most common way for parents to send their children to a good school?C
A.Asking their relatives for help.
B.Going to church every Sunday.
C.Moving to a house in a certain area.
D.Buying a second house near the school.
53.What can we learn from the researches in Paragraph 3?C
A.Children above seven usually behaved badly at school.
B.Going to good schools improved the children's behavior.
C.Parents'relationship had an influence on their children's study.
D.Parents usually fought for their children's poor performance at school.
54.The writer agrees that.D
A.a longer marriage means a stronger family relationship
B.the local league table of schools is important for parents
C.parents should have better communication with teachers and schools
D.it's worthwhile to spend some money improving a family relationship
55.What's the best title of the passage?D
A.More Money Can Help"Buy"Better Education
B.Parents Should Provide the Best Start for Their Children
C.Moving Houses Gives Great Benefits to Children's Education
D.Parents Staying Together Happily Is the Best Way to Help Children.

3.Do American children still learn handwriting in school?In the age of the keyboard,some people seem to think handwriting lessons are on the way out.90% of teachers say they are required to teach handwriting.But studies have yet to answer the question of how well they are teaching it.One of this year's studies found that about three out of every four teachers say they are not prepared to teach handwriting.Some teachers are teaching handwriting by providing instruction for 10to 15minutes a day,and then other teachers who basically teach it for 60to 70minutes a day-which really for handwriting is pretty much.
Many adults remember learning that way-by copying letters over and over again.Today's thinking is that short periods of practice are better.Many experts(专家) also think handwriting should not be taught by itself.Instead,they say it should be used as a way to get students to express ideas.After all,that is why we write.
Handwriting involves two skills.One is legibility,which means forming the letters so they can be read.The other is fluency(流畅)-writing without having to think about it.Fluency continues to develop up until high school.
But not everyone masters these skills.Teachers commonly report that about one fourth of their kids have poor handwriting.Some people might think handwriting is not important any more because of computers and voice recognition programs.
But Steve Graham at Vanderbilt says word processing is seldom done in primary school,especially in the early years.American children traditionally first learn to print,and then to write in cursive,which connects the letters.But guess what we learned from a spokeswoman for the College Board(大学委员会).More than 75percent of students choose to print their essay(article) on the test rather than write in cursive.

52.From Paragraph 1we can learnA.
A.teaching handwriting is a basic requirement in the teaching job
B.most teachers prefer to teach handwriting
C.teachers spend little time in teaching handwriting
D.a keyboard has taken the place of the handwriting
53.Which of the following is WRONG for traditional handwriting in the USA?B
A.Handwriting includes two skills.
B.To write in cursive is taught first.
C.The letters are repeated many times.
D.The students are taught by practicing a long period.
54.The underlined word"legibility"in Paragraph 3meansA.
A.easy to read      
B.easy to write
C.unexpected     
D.unreadable
55.The best title for the passage isB.
A.How to Improve Handwriting in School
B.Right or Wrong:the Death of Handwriting
C.Handwriting Involves Two Skills
D.Handwriting Lessons Are on the Way Out.
