It is widely acknowledged that it is by no means an easy task to bring up a child well.And our ancestors already understood it well.“It takes an entire village to raise a child.”That’s an old proverb that is being quoted more and more often these days.And I’m pleased about that.

Today,more and more schools are reaching out to involve parents, community members and businesses to help shape a child’s future.

Parents need to be involved in their children’s education in many ways.Helping children with homework and studying,going on a field trip,teaching a craft(手工藝)or coaching a child's sports team are all great ways to be involved with your child's education.And don’t forget to communicate with teachers — they need and respect your input.Studies show that children learn more and schools function better when parents and schools work together.It’s important to stay in touch with your child's education all through his or her school career.

Communities can help children create and achieve new goals.Help with homework, read to a child,coach a children's team,or provide emotional support.Help solve problems and build self-esteem(自尊).Kids need role models and advisers can be role models by sharing their experiences and wisdom.

Businesses can also help shape our children’s future.invite a class from your local school to visit your workplace.You may be providing a glimpse that opens a new world of possibilities.Show students what goes on during a typical day.Give a mini course for students:how to use a computer;how products are made;how machinery works.You may have a developing electrician,teacher,nurse,or even a newspaper reporter on your hands.

It really does take an entire village to raise a child.So share the responsibility— and the joy— of bringing a child to his or her full potential.

1.The implied advice in the proverb“It takes an entire village to raise a child.” is that ____________.

A. All the people in a village should give food to a child

It was almost five years since I began to learn English. I’m glad to say I’m getting along well with it. However, first I came across a lot of difficulties. I couldn’t pronounce English sounds good, nor could I remember the words I had learned. In class, I couldn’t understand that the teacher had said. I almost lost my heart when the teacher said to me, “Keeping on and you will do well.” I was greatly encouraging. I started working hard at English. With the help by my teacher and classmates, I made some progresses. I’m very pleased, but I will work harder.

Does money buy happiness?Not!Ah, but would a little more money make us a little happier?Many of us smirk(傻笑,假笑) and nod.There is, we believe, some connection between financial fitness and emotional fulfillment.Three in four American college students—nearly double the 1970 proportion— now consider it “very important” or “essential” that they become “very well off financially”.Money matters.

But a surprising fact of life is that in countries where nearly everyone can afford life’s necessities, increasing wealth matters surprisingly little.The connection between income and happiness is “surprisingly weak,” observed University of Michigan researcher Ronald Inglehart in one 16-nation study of 170,000 people.Once comfortable, more money provides diminishing returns(報酬遞減).The second piece of pie, or the second $100,000, never tastes as good as the first.Even lottery winners and the Forbes’ 100 wealthiest Americans surveyed by University of Illinois psychologist Ed Diener have expressed only slightly greater happiness than the average American.Making it big brings temporary joy.But in the long run wealth is like health: its complete absence can create suffering, but having it doesn’t guarantee happiness.Happiness seems less a matter of getting what we want than of wanting what we have.

Has our happiness, however, floated upward with the rising economic tide?Are we happier today than in 1940s, when two out of five homes lacked a shower or tub?Actually, we are not.Since 1957, the number of Americans who say they are “very happy” has declined from 35 to 32 percent.Meanwhile, the divorce rate has doubled, the teen suicide(自殺) rate has increased nearly three times, the violent crime rate has gone up nearly four times, and depression has mushroomed.Economic growth has provided no boost to human morale.When it comes to psychological well being, it is not the economy.

I call this soaring wealth and shrinking spirit “the American paradox.” More than ever, we have big houses and broken homes, high incomes and low confidence, secured rights and reduced civility.We are good at making a living but often fail at making a life.We celebrate our prosperity(繁榮) but long for a purpose.We treasure our freedoms but long for connection.In an age of plenty, we feel spiritual hunger.

1.Which of the following statements best expresses the author’s view?

A. The more money we earn, the less returns we have.

B. The more money we earn, the happier we would be.

C. In the long run, money cannot guarantee happiness.

D. In the long run, happiness grows with economy.

2.“The second $100,000 never tastes as good as the first” because _____.

A. it is not so fresh as the first $100,000

B. it is not so important as the first $100,000

C. profit brought by it is less than that from the first $100,000

D. happiness brought by it is less than that from the first $100,000

3.According to the passage, people do well in making a living but don’t _____.

A. have any primary aim

B. know how to spend money

C. know how to enjoy life

D. keep in touch with other people

4.The things that happened after 1957 are given to show that _____.

A. people’s spiritual needs cannot be fulfilled by wealth

B. family problems become more and more serious

C. young people are not happy about their life

D. social crimes have increased significantly

科目:高中英語 來源:2015-2016學年河北邯鄲魏縣一中、曲周一中高一上學期期中英語試卷(解析版) 題型:閱讀理解

After Mom died, I began visiting Dad every morning before I went to work. He was frail and moved slowly, but he always had a glass of freshly squeezed orange juice on the kitchen table for me, along with an unsigned note reading, "Drink your juice." Such a gesturere, I knew, was as far as Dad had ever been able to go in expressing his love. In fact, I remember, as a kid I had questioned Mom "Why doesn't Dad love me?" Mom frowned, "Who said he doesn't love you?" "Well, he never tells me," I complained. "He never tells me either," she said, smiling. "But look how hard he works to take care of us, to buy us food and clothes, and to pay for this house. That's how your father tells us he loves us."

I nodded slowly. I understood in my head, but not in my heart. I still wanted my father to put his arms around me and tell me he loved me. Dad owned and operated a small scrap (片) metal business, and after school I often hung around while he worked. Dad hand fed scrap steel into a device that chopped as cleanly as a butcher chops a rack of ribs. The machine looked like a giant pair of scissors. with blades thicker than my father's body. If he didn't feed those terrifying blades just right, he risked serious injury. "Why don't you hire someone to do that for you?" Mom asked Dad one night as she bent over him and rubbed his aching shoulders with a strong smelling liniment. "Why don't you hire a cook?" Dad asked, giving her one of his rare smiles.

Many years later, during my first daily visit, after drinking the juice my father had squeezed for me, I walked over, hugged him and said, "I love you, Dad." From then on I did this every morning. My father never told me how he felt about my hugs, and there was never any expression on his face when I gave them.

1.The author's father always prepared a glass of freshly squeezed orange juice for him because ____.

A. that was the author's favorite

B. he was sure the author would be thirsty

C. the author was always complaining

D. that was a gesture of love

2.The author's father didn't hire a helper because ____.

A. his job was too dangerous

B. his job required high skills

C. he wanted to save money

D. he was not good at communicating with others

3. We may infer from the passage that ____.

A. the author's father lacked a sense of humor

B. the author quite understood his father as time went on

C. the author's father didn't love him very much

D. the author's father was too strict with him

4. What would be the best title for the passage?

A. I just couldn't understand my father

B. My father never loved me

C. Silent fatherly love

D. My hard-working father
