I 5 to him that he was still a bit too 6 to play carefully with such a special ball. We had the same 7 several more times in the next few months, and soon the requests 8 away.
The next fall, after watching a football game on television, Tom asked, "Dad, 9 that football you have in the garage? Can I use it to play with the guys now?" And I replied, "Tom, you don't just go out and 10 throw around a 1963 Chicago bears-inscribed football. I told you before: it's special. "
11 it wasn't special any more. I stood 12 in the garage. It had been a long time since the boys moved away from home, and suddenly I 13 that the football had never been so special at all. Children playing with it when it was their 14 to play is what would have made it special. I had blown those 15 moments that can never be reclaimed(找回), and I had 16 a football. 17 what?
I took the football across the street and gave it to a 18 with young kids. A couple of hours later I looked out of the window. They were 19 , catching and kicking my 1963 Chicago Bears-inscribed football.

However important we may regard school life to 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 the many interviews carried on during the year, as well as new ways of reporting pupils’ progress, can significantly aid the interchanged 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 he family budget, buying the food, using a measuring cup at home, setting the clock, calculating mileage on a trip and engaging 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.
The underlined phrase “keep parents apprised of” (Line 1, Para. 2) probably means to let parents .
A．judge B．know C．design D．develop
What is the purpose of the schools’ informal tea and interviews?
A．To improve the relationship between teacher 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.
Why does the author provide all example in Paragraph 4？
A．To help parents to know the importance of home activities.
B．To show how the teacher can guide in home training.
C．To prove parents all non professional advisors.
D．To advice parents to teach kids math at home.
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 wastedw.^w.k.s.5*u.c.#o@m

Among the more colorful characters of Leadville’s golden age were H.A.W. Tabor and his
second wife, Elizabeth McCourt, better known as "Baby Doe". Their history is fast becoming one of the legends of the Old West. Horace Austin Warner Tabor was a school teacher in Vermont. With his first wife and two children he left Vermont by covered wagon in 1855 to homestead in Kansas. Perhaps he did not find farming to his liking, or perhaps he was attracted by rumors of fortunes to be made in Colorado mines. At any rate, a few years later he moved west to the small Colorado mining camp known as California Gulch, which he later renamed Leadville when he became its leading citizen. "A large amount of lead is sure to be found here." he said.
As it turned out, it was silver, not lead, that was to make Leadville’s fortune and wealth. Tabor knew little about mining himself, so he opened a general store, which sold everything from boots to salt, flour, and tobacco. It was his custom to "grubstake" prospective（预期的） miners, in other words, to supply them with food and supplies, or"grub", while they looked for ore（矿石）, in return for which he would get a share in the mine if one was discovered. He did this for a number of years, but no one that he aided ever found anything of value.
Finally one day in the year 1878, so the story goes, two miners came in and asked for "grub". Tabor had decided to quit supplying it because he had lost too much money that way. These were persistent（坚持的）, however, and Tabor was too busy to argue with them. "Oh help yourself. One more time won’t make any difference," He said and went on selling shoes and hats to other customers. The two miners took $17 worth of supplies, in return for which they gave Tabor a one-third interest in their findings. They picked a barren place on the mountainside and began to dig. After nine days they struck a rich vein of silver. Tabor bought the shares of the other two men, and so the mine belonged to him alone. This mine, known as the "Pittsburgh Mine," made $1,300, 000 for Tabor in return for his $17 investment.
Later Tabor bought the Matchless Mine on another barren hillside just outside the town for $117,000.This turned out to be even more abundant than the Pittsburgh, producing $35 000 worth of silver per day at one time. Leadville grew. Tabor became its first mayor, and later became the governor of the state.
1. The word "grubstake" in paragraph 2 means __________ .
A. to supply miners with food and supplies
B. to open a general store
C. to do one’s contribution to the development of the mine
D. to supply miners with food and supplies and in return get a share in the mine, if one
was discovered
2. The underlying（潜在的）reason for Tabor’s successful life career is __________.
A. purely accidental
B. based on the analysis of miner’s being very poor and their possibility of discovering profitable mining site
C. through the help from his second wife
D. he planned well and accomplished targets step by step
3. If this passage is the first part of an article, who might be introduced in the following part?
A. Tabor’s life. B. Tabor’s second wife, Elizabeth McCourt.
C. Other colorful characters. D. Tabor’s other careers.
