4.When Carla Fisher and her husband announced plans to travel the globe with their young daughters for a year,some friends called them crazy.
Seven years later,with wonderful memories and a book documenting their world travel,the Fishers now seem like global trailblazers (先驱者).
"It's really encouraging to hear that many other people want to educate their kids in that manner,"said Fisher.
Some parents are trying to raise knowledgeable and open-minded"world citizens".Others want to give their children the skills they'll need to compete globally.
"There is a huge amount of interest in spending time abroad at all stages of life and increasingly,as a family with children,"said Maya Frost,author of"The New Global Student…".She knows American families in every corner of the globe who have made that choice.
"There's so much more to education than school,"said Tessa Hill,who recently returned to her Houston-area home,after driving her family across North and Central America and Europe in a motor home for 13months."World travel is an education in people,cultures,language,travel skills,street smarts and in how lucky we are to live in the United States."
When Hill and her husband began considering extended global travel,their middle child,Charles,13,was surprised."My first reaction was‘well,are we really going to do this?'"Charles said."But it did sound like great fun."
Charles said missing his friends was the hardest part.He stayed in touch via e-mail and made some new friends along the way,playing soccer with kids in France and learning about rugby from youths in Ireland.
"I'd definitely recommend this to other kids,"Charles said."It was such a great opportunity to see different countries and learn geography a different way."
To make re-entry smoother,most school officials prefer that families work out an educational plan before they leave town.
"It sounds out-of-date,but it really opens up your mind and your eyes to the world,"said Robbin Goodman,17,a senior student who spent his junior year skateboarding across Beijing,China,when he wasn't studying Chinese history and other core subjects.
Had he not already taken a school-sponsored spring break trip with his mom to China in 2007,Robbin said he probably would not have been able to convince his parents to let him go alone for a year."I knew I would learn Chinese and all that,but my goal was to have a great time,"Robbin said.
"The biggest problem for those seriously considering going abroad is dealing with those who are against the idea,"said Frost.
"They gain the ability to take risks and to have confidence in themselves,"said Liz Pearlstein,founder of a global education consulting firm."When we came home from London,my daughter,who had been painfully shy before we left,said‘Mom,now I know there's nothing I can't do.'"
No one knows exactly how many American families are choosing the global education path,
but global education consultants say a growing number of parents are traveling for a year or more with their children.

Title:A real global(71)education:traveling abroad with kids for a year
Travelers'experiences and feelings
Carla Fisher●Courage is needed to take the(72)global/world travel for there are different voices.
●It is encouraging to hear more parents make such a similar
(73)decision/choice/plan.
Tessa Hill and Charles●World travel can help people learn more about cultures,languages and travel skills,etc.
●Charles made new friends along his way and (74)e-mailed his friends back home.
Robbin Goodman●One-year (75)stay/study in China alone can serve the purpose of having a good time.
Liz Pearlstein●World travel (76)enables kids to take risks and builds up confidence in themselves.
Opinions and suggestions
Maya Frost●There is an (77)increasing number of family traveling abroad with kids.Parents should take it into consideration how to deal with the opposite idea.
School officials●Parents had better help kids work out educational plans to make it (78)smoother/easier for them to return to school.
(79)Conclusion
Generally,more families in the USA(80)plan/choose/tendto travel abroad with kids for a year or more.

14.Meet the magic folk
Throughout the ages and across the world,fairies(童话故事)have come alive in the stories,poems,and songs passed down from the old to the young.Some amazing stories about fairies have come to us from the British Isles.(56)A
Merrows are Irish fairy mermaids(美人鱼).The females are very gentle and beautiful with fishes'tails.Merrows sometimes come onto land disguised(伪装)as small,white cattle or as beautiful women wearing bright red feather caps.(57)G
Leprechauns(矮妖)are fairies that appear as tiny old men.They like to be alone most of the time,making and mending shoes and keeping their pots of gold well hidden.If a human catches a leprechaun and asks for its gold,the leprechaun must hand it over.(58)C If the human looks away for even an instant,the leprechaun will joyfully disappear.
Brownies are hairy little men who do chores(杂事)in houses and on farms during the night.All they want as payment is food,and they get very angry if humans watch them do their work.If a brownie is given clothes as a present,he'll disappear forever.(59)F
Selkies are seal fairies.Female selkies sometimes come to shore and take off their sealskins to play on the beach in human form.Like merrows,if a human finds a selkie's sealskin,she can't go back to the ocean.(60)E If she finds her sealskin,she happily returns to the sea,leaving her human husband and children…but she comes close to shore to watch over them from time to time.

A.Here are some of these fairies.
B.Most sailors at sea hope never to see a merrow.
C.But it is far trickier(狡猾的)than it looks!
D.A selkie is quiet and lovely,with dark hair and sad eyes.
E.Instead,she must obey(服从)the human who keeps it and usually marries him.
F.Perhaps this is because he rushes back to show off his new clothes to the others.
G.If a human steals this cap,a merrow can't go back to the sea and must stay on land.

15.Do you want to be at the top of your class?Add these tips to your life and you should be on your way to being a top student?
(36)GI cannot stress how important it is to pay attention to what your teacher teaching you.Take part in class discussions if you have something worthwhile to add.Pay attention during class,especially during lectures.
Taking notes is important.You don't need to write down every word your teacher says but write down what he/she writes on the board,or any special fact you think you might need for a test.(37)BThis way it will help you learn more effectively by actually thinking about what you are writing.
Don't skip school.You will missing out on stuff.(38)F However,you will have more work and you have missed lectures and in-class movies.Also,try not to be late for class.It's most likely that your teachers won't appreciate it and you will get yourself behind.
(39)C If you have an"I don't care about school or this class"attitude,then teachers will be less willing to help you with problem or offer you extra credit.The same goes for lazy attitude.Have a respectful attitude to the teacher and other students.Try not to laugh when other students make a mistake.
Always ask questions.(40)E If you don't understand,ask someone.Read your textbook and notes,and then if that fails,seek help.Ask a teacher,friend,classmate,parent,ect.Get a tutor if you need one.

B.Write in your own words.

19.Educating girls quite possibly yields a higher rate of return than any other investment (投资)available in the developing world.Women's education may be unusual territory for economists(经济学家),but enhancing women's contribution to development is actually as much an economic as a social issue.And economics(经济因素),with its emphasis on incentives,provides guideposts that point to an explanation for why so many girls are deprived(剥夺)of an education.
  Parents in low-income countries fail to invest(投资)in their daughters because they do not expect them to make an economic contribution to the family:girls grow up only to marry into somebody else's family and bear children.Girls are thus seen as less valuable than boys and art kept at home to do housework while their brothers are sent to school-the prophecy (预言) becomes self-fulfilling,trapping women in a vicious circle (恶性循环) of neglect.
  An educated mother,on the other hand,has greater earning abilities outside the home and faces an entirely different set of choices.She is likely to have fewer but healthier children and can insist on the development of all her children,ensuring that her daughters are given a fair chance.The education of her daughters then makes it much more likely that the next generation of girls,as well as of boys,will be educated and healthy.
Few will dispute that educating women has great social benefits.But it has enormous economic advantages as well.Most obviously,there is the direct effect of education on the wages of female workers.Wages rise by 10 to 20 per cent for each additional year of schooling.Such big returns are impressive by the standard of other available investments,but they are just the beginning.Educating women also has a significant impact on health practices,including family planning.
Topic:The significance of female (76)educationin developing countries
Opinion Educating girls in more(77)beneficial/rewarded/valuablethan any other investment.
FamiliesFrom low-income familiesFrom educated mothers'families
AttitudesGirls are of less(78)value/importance/significancethan boys.Development should be for all(79)children.
(80)Practices/MeasuresThere is(81)no/littleinvests ment in daughters.
Girls are made to may at home,(82)doinghousework.
Girls and boys have(83)fair/equal/samechances.
SignificanceEducating girls(84)contributes/leadsto social benefits,conceit advantages and health practices,including faruly planning.
(85)ConclusionEducating girls in developing countries is important and rewarding.
