14.Parents can help their seventh and eighth grade students stand out in and out of their English classroom by introducing them to newspapers.Newspapers not only offer information on current events,but they can also be used to test your child's knowledge of grammar,vocabulary,and more.
Who,What,Where,When,Why,and How
Have your child read the first couple of paragraphs of a news story.Ask them to write down all of the important facts,such as who,what,where,when,why and how.This helps parents to see if their children comprehend the basic facts and information they read.
Grammar
Parents can monitor a child's understanding of grammatical parts of speech (詞性) without a grammar textbook.Ask your child to read a paragraph in an article and then list a specific number of nouns,verbs,adjectives,adverbs,pronouns,prepositions and the like,which serves more of a test of their grammatical knowledge.Encourage them to list each of these parts of speech in a paragraph.Then,reread the paragraph to see if they missed anything.
Persuasion
Ask your child to select an advertisement from the newspaper.Have them investigate how specific words or phrases influence their feelings about a particular product.Then,encourage them to create an advertisement of their own for an item they do not like.Tell them not to show their true feelings and try to make people want to buy this unwanted item.After that,ask them to list the persuasive techniques used in their ad.
Facts vs Opinions
Select an editorial for your middle schooler to read.Have your child divide a piece of paper into two columns,one marked fact,and the other marked opinion.Have your student decide which column it fits under.This will help your child better understand facts versus opinions.Another related exercise is responding to an editorial.Encourage your child to write letters to the editor or responses to editorials or other articles.Before your child sends his or her letter,check the opinion section to see what requirements there are.
Headlines and Synonyms (同義詞)
Ask your middle schooler to rewrite a couple of headlines using the synonyms of the original words.Compare the headlines.Do the original versions or the rewrites sound better?This is a great exercise to help students learn synonyms and expand their vocabulary.
If you find your seventh or eighth grade child is struggling with these newspaper activities,it may be an indicator that they have fallen behind in their reading skills.These activities were designed with a seventh or eighth grader in mind; therefore,while they are educational,they should be more of reinforcement (增強) instead of a major reading challenge.

9.High school dropouts (輟學(xué)者) earn an average of $9,000 less per year than graduates.
Now a new study moves away a common belief why they quit.It's much more than failing in
exams at school.
Society tends to think of high school dropouts as kids who just can't cut it.They are lazy,and perhaps not too bright.So researchers were surprised when they asked more than 450kids who quit school about why they left.
"The vast majority actually had passing grades and they were confident that they could have graduated from high school."John Bridgeland,the executive researcher said.About one million teens leave school each year.Only about half of African-American and Hispanic students will receive a diploma,and actually all dropouts come to regret their decision.So,if failing grades don't explain why these kids quit,what does?Again,John Bridgeland:"The most dependable finding was that they were bored.""They found classes uninteresting; they weren't inspired or motivated.They didn't see any direct connection between what they were learning in the classroom to their own lives,or to their career aspirations."The study found that most teens who do drop out wait until they turn sixteen,which happens to be the age at which most states allow students to quit.In the US,only one state,
New Mexico,has a law requiring teenagers to stay in high school until they graduate.Only
four states:California,Tennessee,Texas and Utah,plus tile District of Columbia,require
school attendance until age 18,no exceptions,another researcher,says raising tile compulsory attendance age may be one way to keep more kids in school.
"As these dropouts look back,they realize they've made a mistake.And anything that sort of gives these people an extra push to stick it out and it through to the end,is probably helpful measure."
New Hampshire may be the next state to raise its school attendance age to 18.But critics
say that forcing the students unwilling to continue their studies to stay in school misses the point--the need for reform.It's been called for to reinvent high school education to make it more challenging and relevant,and to ensure that kids who do stick it out receive a diploma that actually means something.
(Note:Answer the questions or complete the statements in NO MORE THAN 10WORDS)

81.What do people think of those who quit school?Lazy and not bright
82.Many students quit school not because they cannot pass grades but because they find
Lessonsuninteresting and not relevant to real life
83.Why don't some students quit until they are sixteen?Because that's the age to be allowed to quit
84.According to the passage,the more effective way to keep students from quitting is to
reform or reinvent high school education.
