“A very disruptive(扰乱型的) six-year old child kicked my legs and clawed at my hand,”said one teacher. “I broke up a fight and was kicked between my legs,”said another. Many people have heard stories like this. But the situation is more worrying still and it involves parents.
Every child , regardless of the circumstances into which they are born,has the right to achieve their potential,regardless of their parents’ wealth and class. And we recognize that, as a nation,it is a long way to achieve this goal.But rights come with responsibilities and what worries people is that we are in danger of neglecting the latter.
Far too many children are behaving badly at school,even to the point of being violent to staff. This is terrible enough,but it is hard to be surprised since many children are just mirroring the behavior of their parents. Too many are starting school unable to hold a knife and fork, unused to eating at a table,and unable to use the lavatory properly. We are in danger of becoming a nation of families living separate lives under one roof. The bedroom, once a place to sleep,has become the living space for the young. Spending hours in front of computer screens, on social networking sites or being immersed in computer games, children and young people spend little time with their parents. Parents are unable to monitor just what their children are watching.
Schools cannot right the wrongs of society and teachers cannot become substitute parents. Both parties need to work together. Parents must be helped and given confidence to take back control. They are responsible for setting boundaries for their children’s behavior and sticking to those boundaries when the going gets tough. They are responsible for setting a good example to their children and for devoting that most precious of resources—time—so that children come to school ready and are willing to learn.
1.In the opinion of the writer, what problem do people ignore?
A. The school violence.
B. The pressure of students’ learning.
C. The right to achieve students potential.
D. the responsibilities of the students.

A. dissatisfied B. unconcern C. understanding D. tolerance
3. The underlined part in Para. 4 may means__________.
A. parents and children live in their separate rooms
B. parents care little about children’s life at home
C. children don’t live with their parents in the same room
D. at home children live a different life from that of parents

Far too many children are behaving badly at school, even to the point of being violent to staff. This is terrible enough, but it is hard to be surprised since many children are just mirroring the behaviour of their parents.
My members tell me that parents also come into school often and threaten staff and some staff have been attacked by a pupil’s parents. One father encouraged his child to start a fight on the playground before school started. A primary teacher reported that a parent shouted at him. We need to have a serious and sensible debate about the roles and responsibilities of parents and the support that they can reasonably expect of schools and teachers.
Children will not learn how to behave as social beings if they are stuck in front of the TV for hours every day. They need their parents to show an interest in them and to spend time with them, helping them to play with their peers(同龄人) and to learn the rules of social behavior.
Children are now arriving at school socially undeveloped, increasingly unable to dress themselves, unable to use the toilet properly, unable to hold a knife and fork and unused to eating at a table, Mary Bousted, general secretary of the Association of Teachers and Lecturers, writes in today’s Observer. Instead of taking responsibility themselves, too many parents expect teachers to control their children’s behaviour and wellbeing, she adds. Bousted says one mother blamed staff when she discovered that her 16-year-old son was smoking.

What were you doing when you were nine years old? Making crafts from a Klutz book? Kicking around a soccer ball? Designing a business plan to deal with plastic pollution and relieve childhood poverty? Zymal Umar shoved us the latter. The Pakistan's youngest businesswoman has started a project entitled Zee Bugs, which aims to reduce plastic pollution by providing an environmentally-friendly alternative to plastic grocery bags.
When Zymal was on a shopping trip with her parents three years ago, she was shocked by the number of plastic bags on the streets. Depressed by the plastic pollution, she was reminded of the severe consequences our habits have on the environment. Then, she noticed a shopkeeper handing out newspaper bags. And at that moment, Zymal knew she had to act. Since then she has created beautiful, unique reusable newspaper bags for hundreds of customers.
It's amazing to see this youngster using her brains and business skills for good. And she should certainly feel proud of the work she is doing. After all, plastic grocery bags are killing thousands of marine animals every year through their contribution to plastic waste According to The Earth Institute, over one trillion plastic bags are used worldwide annually — that's about two million bags used per minute around the world.
And those bags certainly don't disappear into thin air. Instead, they end up in our oceans, putting approximately 700 marine species in danger of extinction due to the threat from pollution. And plastic bags are just one of the many forms of plastic trash that ends up in the oceans — in fact, an astonishing 8.8 million tons of this material make their way from land to the oceans every single year.
But with Zee Bags, we're all empowered to make more thoughtful choices about our trash production. And Zymal's amazingness doesn't stop there — the profits from her sales go towards helping poor children.
1.What is the second paragraph mainly about?
A.How Zymal felt about her shopping trip.
B.How Zymal learned about plastic pollution.
C.How Zymal was received by the shopkeeper.
D.How Zymal was inspired to create her bags.
2.Why are figures mentioned in the third and fourth paragraphs?
A.To praise Zymal for her great efforts.
B.To urge readers to stop using plastics.
C.To stress the seriousness of plastic pollution.
D.To show the rich knowledge of the author.
3.What can we infer about Zymal from the last paragraph?
A.She is amazing in every aspect of her life.
B.She has concern for the disadvantaged.
C.She urges everyone to be eco-friendly.
D.She earns a lot of money from her business.
4.Which of the following best describes Zymal?
A.Caring. B.Determined.
C.Confident. D.Selfless.

LONDON, Aug. 19 (Xinhua) -- A four-year-old child’s ability to draw could be an indicator of intelligence at age 14, according to a study published on Tuesday in the British journal Psychological Science.
The researchers from King’s College London (KCL) studied 7,752 pairs of identical and non-identical twins, and found that the link between drawing and later intelligence was influenced by genes.
At the age of 4, children were asked by their parents to complete a ‘Draw-a-Child’ test. Their drawings were rated from 0 to 12, based on the presence and correct number of body-parts, like arms, legs, head, eyes and nose.
The children were also given verbal and non-verbal intelligence tests at ages 4 and 14. According to researchers, the test was devised in the 1920’s to assess children’s intelligence, so it’s not surprising that the test correlated with intelligence at age 4.However, they found that higher scores on the test were also moderately associated with higher scores of intelligence at 14.
The researchers also measured the heritability of figure drawing. Identical twins share all their genes, whereas non-identical twins only share about 50 percent. Overall, at age 4, drawings from identical twin pairs were more similar to one another than drawings from non-identical twin pairs.
Therefore, the researchers concluded that differences in children’s drawings have an important genetic link. They also found that drawing at age 4 and intelligence at age 14 had a strong genetic link.
“Drawing is an ancient behaviour, dating back beyond 15,000 years ago,” Dr. Rosalind Arden, lead author of the paper from KCL, said that: “This capacity to reproduce figures is a uniquely human ability and a sign of cognitive ability, in a similar way to writing, which transformed the human species’ ability to store information, and build a civilisation.”
1.According to the passage, which of the following statement about ‘Draw-a-Child’ test is true?
A. The test was devised in the 1920’s.
B. 7,752 identical and non-identical twins took part in it.
C. The test was set to assess children’s intelligence.
D. The children took the test at four.
2.Which of the following words is closest in meaning to the underlined word “devised” in the 4th paragraph?
A. changed B. formed C. taken D. designed
3.What do we know about the twins from the passage?
A. Those who could draw better at 4 tend to be more intelligent at 14.
B. Twins who look similar to each other draw better pictures.
C. They were chosen to take the drawing test by the researchers.
D. They were tested on how smart they were once.
4.From the last paragraph, we can infer that ___________.
A. human society develops because of the ability to draw figures
B. drawing helps improve humans’ ability to study
C. one’s intelligence is related to his ability to draw pictures
D. only human beings are able to draw pictures
