Question

【题目】What makes a good school?

I'm a parent of two elementary students．The experience that my children are going through now in the elementary school is so different from mine when I was at their age．What I think of a good school is communication between teachers．students and parents． 【1】 Parent-teacher communication guarantees that a child is educated in the same way and in turn a child will build special bonds in communication between their teachers and parents．

【2】 My children return home telling me that their teachers ignore their questions when they raise their hands and don’t talk much．On the other hand，I feel the same when I write notes to school． 【3】 This is telling me there is a lack in communication from the school teachers nowadays as their life is so overwhelmed by the over-crowded schools we have in the US．

However．choosing a career in education is not just for a good job．A teacher should really have heart in touching every child’s life． 【4】 Even now，I still remember all my elementary school teachers’ names． 【5】 The answer lies in the fact that they spent every minute of their precious time helping me and answering all my questions with patience．When you have teachers who are willing to spend time for any child and communicate with parents，it is what I consider a GREAT school for a child to attend，not just GOOD．

A．I don’t get any response from the teachers to my questions，not even a one-word response．

B．There are different ways of communication, according to diffeent cultures．

C．Why is that?

D．Strong communication is very important to a child’s education．

E．I feel that schools nowadays don’t communicate with parents enough and neither is involvement．

F．My elementary school teachers all touched my life．

G．What do you think of it?

试题分析：现在的小学和作者当时上小学的时候已经不一样了。然而却没有朝着好的方向发展——沟通变得越来越少。这引发我们的思考。

【2】E根据下一句：我的孩子回家后告诉我，当他们举手提问时老师会忽略这个问题并且谈论的很少。可知此处表达的意思是：我感觉现在的学校缺少和父母的沟通，以及让父母参与进来。故选E。

【3】A根据上句：另一方面，我有相同的感觉当我给学校写建议的时候。可知空格上填的是：我没有从老师那得到哪怕一句话的回应。因此可知选A。

【4】F根据下句：即使现在，我还记得我所有的小学老师的名字。可知空格上表达的意思是：我的小学老师影响了我的一生。故选F。
