Over the years, pa
2、rents have tried dramatically different ways. They have put their baby on a schedule, or they have fed on demand; they have let their baby cry himself to sleep, or they have picked him up as soon as he cried; they have given their children whatever he wants, or they have taught him to get everything
3、 through his own efforts. These contrasting parenting strategies arise from quite different views of the nature of children and childhood and the roles of parents. Some parents view their child as naturally social. To them, their job is to allow him the space to succeed. Others think that their chil
4、d should be taught how to act. There are probable positives and negatives to each method. None of them guarantees that your child will become the loving individual you want him to be.

12、 to exercise. Many studies have shown that regular activity and exercise can improve overall health substantially. Exercise reduces the risk of heart disease by up to 35%, stroke by about 28%, certain cancers by 20% and more, and high blood pressure by an amazing 52%. Exercise can also help you to b

Exercising includes walking, running, biking and plenty of other activities as well. My advice would be to pick something you enjoy doing and wouldnt mind pursuing on a regul
14、ar basis. Then, you must stick to a schedule. You can even pick a few different activities to mix things up and keep it interesting. Also, always stretch before physical activity! Thisis very important as you do not want to pull muscles. Most importantly, to keep a healthy body you must stay ACTIVE!

18、a Passage15 ABACBYoung people go to school to gather information, become respectable members of society, and prepare themselves either for university studies or for employment. And it is a teachers job to help students accomplish these goals. But are public school teachers doing a good job?A recent
19、report has an answer NO. And the details are disturbing. For one, researchers claim that 57% of all class time is wasted. During this time, no teaching or learning is actually taking place, as teachers have given this time to students to do whatever they wish. If students want to talk to friends or
20、play computer games, that is what they do. Secondly, teachers are neglecting their classes by sometimes not even being in the room with their students. According to the report, teachers spend 33% of the time outside of the classroom where their students cant see them. Thirdly, and probably most dist
21、urbing of all, 10% to 12% of teachers are drunk when they are giving their lessons.It is clear that something must change if public schools wish to help students accomplish their goals. And it seems that teachers should be supervised if improvements are to be made.Understanding a Radio Program1. is

26、Statue.W: Could you please speak up?M: I said, I have some questions about the Statue!W: Well then, let me hear them.M: Well, you see, Im writing a report for school. So I need some details, such as how big the Statue is, when it was built, and so on. Mostly, I just need general information.W: Ok. Y
27、ou know that the Statue was built in France, right?M: Sure.W: Well, the French originally wanted to complete the Statue by 1876, but they had trouble gathering funds for it. So, it wasnt finished until 1884. it was then transported to the US. Its worth mentioning that the Statue was sent in pieces,
28、which were reassembled after arriving in New York.M: When was that?W: In 1885.M: How tall is the Statue of Liberty?W: Altogether, from the ground to the tip of the torch, the Statue is about 93 meters tall.M: Thats a bit taller than I thought.W: My number includes the base size. But subtracting the
29、height of the base, the Statue is about 46 meters.Understanding a Passage15 BADDBI am not only a painter, but a student of art. Sometimes, I dont quite understand why a piece of art is so popular, or why it means what it does to people. Such was the case when I first thought about American Gothic, G
30、rand Woods famous painting of two farmers.American Gothic was inspired by a trip that Wood made in 1930. he saw a house that was built in the 1870s or 1880s, and he was very attracted to its strong design. He then made a quick sketch, went back to his studio, and began his painting immediately. In a
31、ddition to his sketch made that year, he used an 1890 photograph to help him.The painting was strongly criticized by people who thought it made fun of simple farmers. I admit, I once thought the same thing. To me, great paintings are ones that try to understand people, not to laugh at them. And I di
32、dnt like American Gothic. When I saw the painting in person, I recognized the strength in the faces of the farmers. I started to see that the artist was expressing the strength of simple American farmers. This is why so many people see the painting as a symbol of the US.Understanding a Radio Program
