However important school life may be,we can't ignore the fact that children spend more time at home than in the classroom. Therefore the great influence of parents can't be ignored or discounted by the teacher. They can become strong supports of the school or they can consciously or unconsciously prevent the school from accomplishing its aims.

Administrators have been aware of the need to keep_parents_apprised_of the newer methods used in schools. Many principals have conducted workshops explaining such matters as the reading readiness program and developmental math.

Moreover,the classroom teacher can also play an important role in explaining to parents what they should do. The informal tea and many interviews carried on during the year,as well as new ways of reporting pupils' progress, can significantly aid the interchange of ideas between school and home.

Suppose that a father has been drilling Junior in arithmetic processes night after night. In a friendly interview, the teacher can help the parent change his method. He might be persuaded to let Junior participate in discussing the family budget,buying the food,using a measuring cup at home, setting the clock, calculating mileage on a trip and engage in scores of other activities that have a mathematical basis.

If the father follows the advice, it is reasonable to assume that he will soon realize his son is making satisfactory progress in math and at the same time,enjoying the work.

Too often, however, teachers'  conferences  with parents  are  devoted to  unimportant  accounts  of children's wrong­doing, complaints about laziness and poor work habits,and suggestions for punishments and rewards at home.

What is needed is a more creative approach in which the teacher,as a professional advisor,plants ideas in parents' minds for the best use of the many hours that the child spends out of the classroom. In this way, the school and the home join forces in fostering the fullest development of youngsters' competence.

64.The underlined phrase “keep parents apprised of” in  Para.2 probably means to let parents ________.

A. judge       B. know 

C. design    D. develop

65.What is the purpose of the schools' informal tea and interviews?

A. To improve the relationship between teachers and parents.

B. To explain to parents the change of the school curriculum.

C. To report students'  misdoings and suggestions for punishments.

D. To help develop good communication between school and home.

66.Why does the author provide the example in Paragraph 4?

A. To help parents know the importance of home activities.

B. To show how the teacher can guide in home training.

C. To prove parents are non­professional advisors.

D. To advise parents to teach kids math at home.

67.From the passage we learn that the author ________.

A. thinks teachers should do better as professionals

B. is worried about children's performance at home

C. is satisfied with the present state of school education

D. believes time spent out of the classroom has been wasted

With a VISA card in your hand, the world opens up to you. With more than 24 million places across the world accepting VISA, you can use your VISA card instead of cash to pay for your everyday purchases—whether you are shopping at the grocery store, dining at a restaurant, filling your car with petrol or buying the perfect gift on your travels. You can even use it to get cash from more than one million ATMs around the world.

You’re in a department store and you see a couple of attractive young women looking at a sweater. You listen to their conversation:

“I can’t believe it —a Lorenzo Bertolla! They are almost impossible to find. Isn’t it beautiful? And it’s a lot cheaper than the one Sara bought in Rome.”

They leave and you go over to see this incredible sweater.It's nice and the price is right.You've never heard of Lorenzo Bertolla, but those girls looked really stylish.They must know.So, you buy it.You never realize that those young women are employees of an advertising agency.They are actually paid to go from store to store, talking loudly about Lorenzo BertoHa clothes.

   Every day we notice what people are wearing, driving and eating.If the person looks cool, the product seems cool, too.This is the secret of undercover(暗中影响的) marketing.Companies from Ford to Nike are starting to use it.

   So advertising agencies hire young actors to "perform" in bars and other places where young adults go.Some people might call this practice deceptive, but marketing executive Jonathan Ressler calls it creative."Look at traditional advertising.Its effectiveness is decreasing."

   However, one might ask what exactly is "real" about of young women pretending to be enthusiastic about a sweater? Adverting executives would say it's no less real than an ad.The difference is that you know an ad is trying to persuade you to buy something.You don' t know when a conversation you overhear is just a performance.

    A.get the sweater at a lower price      B.be heard by people around

Iodine (碘)– rich salt was the hottest item on Chinese shelves Thursday, being snapped up (抢购) by shoppers after rumors spread that iodine intake could help protect one’s body from radiation damage, although the authorities have confirmed that the nuclear crisis in Japan had not affected China.

Rumors also spread about radioactive substances being leaked into ocean water that could pollute Chinese coasts.

The crazy buying has occurred nationwide, from the supposedly easily – harmed eastern coastal provinces to regions far – inland such as Xinjiang.

Supermarkets and convenience stores began reporting the lack of salt stocks from early Wednesday, with all salt sold out at many Carrefour and Wal – Mart stores. Some online clothes stores have begun offering salt as a bonus to customers.

Relevant government departments were trying hard to stop this round of panic – buying.

The Ministry of Health denied the rumor that eating more iodine – rich salt could repair damage from radiation, saying that it is technically impossible to absorb enough iodine for radiation prevention from eating salt.

The government urges the local market authorities to keep all salt sellers in check and to prevent storing and overpricing.

Also the spokesman of the government said that China’s seawater, as a source of salt, would not be affected by the nuclear crisis, as it would be impossible for radioactive substances to reach Chinese waters via the eastward ocean current.

“Reasons behind the salt rush include unclear information on the development of the nuclear crisis and terrifying media reports of the severity of a possible complete meltdown. If the fear of a Chernobyl – like catastrophe cannot be ended, the crazy buying will likely continue,” said a professor from Beijing University.

Beijing urged Tokyo Thursday to better release information at the Fukushima plant.

1.What caused the crazy buying of iodine – rich salt?

     A.The rumor caused by the unclear information. 

     B.The shortage of iodine – rich salt in stores.

     C.The multi – functions of iodine in salt.       

D.The richness of iodine in salt in China.

2.Some online clothes stores began offering salt as a bonus to customers because _______.

    A.they can increase their sales by doing so      B.the salt from them is more effective

    C.the customers prefer to buy salt on line       D.the salt from the on-line store is free

3.It’s quite clear that some sellers want to store iodine-rich salt is to _______.

    A.increase the sales of related products                   B.raise the price of products online

    C.make more money from it              D.meet the needs of the market

4.Why is it impossible for radioactive substances to reach Chinese waters?

    A.The ocean is really too large.       B.The distance from Japan is too far.

    C.The nuclear pollution is not so serious.                 D.The ocean current is eastward.

5.Which of the following should be the best title of the passage?

    A.Panic Salt Buying Creates Bitter Crisis                  B.Effect of the Terrible Disaster in Japan

    C.A Rumor Throughout the Country.      D.Iodine-rich Salt Prevents Radiation.
