Low-Cost Gifts for Mother's Day

Gift No. 1

Offer to be your mother's health friend. Promise to be there for any and all doctor's visits whether a disease or a regular medical check-up. Most mothers always say “no need,” but another set of eyes and ears is always a good idea at a doctor's visit. The best part? This one is free.

Gift No. 2

Help your mother organize all of her medical records, which include the test results and medical information. Put them all in one place. Be sure to make a list of all of her medicines and what times she takes them.“Having all this information in one place could end up saving your mother's life,”Dr Marie Savard said.

Gift No. 3

Enough sleep is connected to general health conditions. “Buy your mother cotton sheets and comfortable pillows to encourage better sleep,” Savard said. “We know that good sleep is very important to our health.”

Gift No. 4

Some gift companies such as Presents for Purpose allow you to pay it forward this Mother's Day by picking gifts in which 10 percent of the price you pay goes to a charity. Gift givers can choose from a wide variety of useful but inexpensive things—many of which are “green”—and then choose a meaningful charity from a list. When your mother gets the gift, she will be told that she has helped the chosen charity.

It appears that people don't need any phone box now. In a small British village, people decided to turn a red phone box into a library a few years before. Now, the phone box is one of the country’s smaller libraries. About 150 books placed on shelves in the phone box. Villagers there can take whatever they want and leave their own books for exchange. They can use the library around a clock so it opens 365 days a year and 24 hours a day. Since the library opens its bright door, people from all parts of the village have paid it a visit. Among it there're senior citizens living in the neighbourhood, children getting off school buses and university students are stopping by late at night. It is convenient for them to use such a wonderful library.

In her new book, “The Smartest Kids in the World,” Amanda Ripley, an investigative journalist, tells the story of Tom, a high-school student from Gettysburg, Pennsylvania, who decides to spend his senior year in Warsaw, Poland.Poland is a surprising educational success story: in the past decade, the country raised students’ test scores from significantly below average to well above it.Polish kids have now outscored(超過……分?jǐn)?shù)) American kids in math and science, even though Poland spends, on average, less than half as much per student as the United States does.One of the most striking differences between the high school Tom attended in Gettysburg and the one he ends up at in Warsaw is that the latter has no football team, or, for that matter, teams of any kind.

That American high schools waste more time and money on sports than on math is an old complaint.This is not a matter of how any given student who plays sports does in school, but of the culture and its priorities.This December, when the latest Program for International Student Assessment(PISA) results are announced, it’s safe to predict that American high-school students will once again display their limited skills in math and reading, outscored not just by students in Poland but also by students in places like South Korea, Belgium, the Netherlands, Finland, Singapore, and Japan.Meanwhile, they will have played some very exciting football games, which will have been breathlessly written up in their hometown papers.

Why does this situation continue? Well, for one thing, kids like it.And for another, according to Ripley, parents seem to like the arrangement, too.She describes a tour she took of a school in Washington D.C., which costs thirty thousand dollars a year.The tour leader—a mother with three children in the school—was asked about the school’s flaws(暇疵).When she said that the math program was weak, none of the parents taking the tour reacted.When she said that the football program was weak, the parents suddenly became concerned.“Really?” one of them asked worriedly, “What do you mean?” One of the ironies(諷刺) of the situation is that sports reveal what is possible.American kids’ performance on the field shows just how well they can do when expection are high.It’s too bad that their test scores show the same thing.

1.Tom decides to spend his senior year in Poland because _______.

A.there are striking differences between the 2 countries

B.Polish kids are better at learning

C.he intends to improve his scores

D.sports are not supported at schools in Gettysburg

2.According to Paragraph 2, we know that _______.

A.little time is spent on sports in Japanese schools

B.too much importance is placed on sports in America

C.American high schools complain about sports time

D.PISA plays a very important role in America

3.The underlined sentence in the last paragraph means _______.

A.American students’ academic performance worries their parents a lot

B.high expectations push up American students’ academic performance

C.lacking practice contributes to American students’ average performance

D.low expectations result in American students’ poor PISA performance

4.The purpose of this article is to _______.

A.draw public attention to a weakness in American school tradition

B.call on American schools to learn from the Polish model

C.compare Polish schools with those in America

D.explain what is wrong with American schools and provide solutions
