Bridge of Hope School is a private school. It was set up in Kalangala about two years ago. Unlike government schools, which have very large classes of 90 children, many of whom do not want to learn, Bridge has small classes, so pupils get a great deal of attention. Small classes are good for teaching, but the school is always having difficulty with money since private schools are dependent on parents paying on time.
The school has five primary classes and three nursery classes. As the children progress through the school they will add another class next year. The total number of children in the primary classes is about 50. The parents of Bridge children are often higher earners than those that attend government schools. They want their children to have the best education available.
The school is not yet finished. The classrooms have no windows or doors. But it is very formal and insists on children wearing uniforms(制服). Discipline is strict and the children are well-behaved. Only English can be spoken and not the local language. Although English is the national language and the language of education, government schools teach in their own language for the first three years.
School starts at 7 a.m. and the children have to be on time. Classes are formal, but children have to copy lots of things from the blackboard, because there are few textbooks, sometimes only one for the teacher to use. Class work is heavy and the children have tests every week. They also study during the holiday.
1.What can we learn about government schools?
A. The classes consist of a large number of students.
B. Teachers don’t speak English in class.
C. Children always work very hard.
D. It is free for children to attend them.
2.Parents send their children to Bridge of Hope School because they _______.
A. think the school environment is better there
B. hope their children can get the best education
C. want their children to be different
D. have no time to take care of their children
3.Which of the following is TRUE about Bridge of Hope School according to the text?
A. Children can wear what they like there.
B. Life there is easy for children
C. Lessons are given in the local language there.
D. There are few textbooks there.
4.The purpose of the writer in writing this passage is to ________.
A. list differences between a private and a government school
B. introduce a private school — Bridge of Hope School in Kalangala
C. tell the history of the private schools in Kalangala
D. show education development in Kalangala

I moved to the small, busy town of Edison in New Jersey six years ago. It was during the second term of my fifth grade. My parents got new jobs and higher income, so they decided it was time to move from Woodbridge to a better, more educational town.
In the US, it is unnecessary to take a test to get into a “good” middle or high school. You just attend the school close to where you live. So, many parents will think about the quality of the local school when they decide to buy a new house. My parents did the same. We finally chose Edison mainly because of the high quality of its school.
In New Jersey, an area with a good school usually means a concentration of Asian people. There are about 300 students in our school. 55% are Asians and just under half of that are Chinese. There are so many Chinese people nearby that we even have our own Chinese school.
Edison is an old town, just like thousands of others in the United States. However, I have treated it as my hometown. That’s where I spend much of my youth, and the memories there can’t be moved anywhere else.
1.Why did the writer’s parents move to Edison?
A.Because they were born there. B.Because it was a better educational town.
C.Because the writer began his fifth grade. D.Because the writer didn’t need to take a test.
2.How many students are from Asia in the writer’s school?
A.About 80. B.About 160. C.About 220. D.About 300.
3.What does the underlined expression “a concentration of” mean in Paragraph 3?
A.None of. B.The whole of C.A large number of D.A small number of
4.Why can’t the writer forget Edison?
A.Because he regards it as his hometown. B.Because his parents got new jobs there.
C.Because there are many Asians there. D.Because it is in the state of New Jersey.

Because of the change in the American public school system over the last several years, now many parents choose to home-school their children. There are many reasons behind this. Let’s take a look at a few of them.
For some parents, they have religious (宗教的) reasons for home-schooling. The public school system does not have religious teachings, so these parents want to put religion into the children’s daily school activities. This might include teaching religion-based courses rather than coursework that is taught in public schools.
For some parents, they do not feel that their local school system offers their children the best learning opportunities. So they want to take matters into their own hands. This may be because the local school has low educational standards (标准) or for some other reason the parents think it necessary to take their children out of the system. Sometimes the parents just feel the children will get a better education at home.
Some parents may not be rich enough to send their children to a private school, so the next best thing in their eyes is home-schooling. Thus they can teach their children what they like.
One should remember that the laws about home-schooling vary from state to state. In some states, the parents are required to hand in monthly attendance records (出席记录) to their local school system. What’s more, most states require state testing at certain periods such as the CRCT.
1.The writer wrote this passage mainly to _______.
A.advise parents to home-school their children
B.explain why some parents choose to home-school their children
C.tell us the advantages and disadvantages of home-schooling
D.praise home-schooling and private schools
2.Paragraph 3 tells us that some parents choose home-schooling because ______.
A.school teachers are not strict with their children
B.their children don’t do well in their studies at school
C.their children don’t like going to school
D.they are not satisfied with the school education
3.What does the underlined word “vary” in the last paragraph mean?
A.Increase B.Change C.Spread D.Keep
4.How many reasons for home-schooling are mentioned in the passage?
A.2 B.4 C.3 D.5
