Parents are important elements in the children’s educational progress. They are capable of being good resources not just for children, but also for schools and teachers.

Parents can help children realize the value of education through their love and support, and most importantly, their encouragement plays an important role in educational success. So parents can be more involved in children’s classroom activities. For example, parents can help out with teaching arts and crafts（工艺美术）to preschoolers and children in grades 1-3. Asking parents to show the children their own talents and impart（传授）the knowledge on the subject they love is a good way to involve the parents in their children’s education. And as a teacher, having someone on call to help you with the cutting and gluing（粘）during a craft class will ensure a less daunting（使人畏缩的）job.

Having parent volunteers around when organizing activities for children is definitely an advantage. Organizing field trips, outings, community services, camps, etc., can be a daunting task when you are the only member responsible for catering to the needs of a large group of children. At such times, asking parent volunteers to help out with the basic requirements makes perfect sense. You can even ask them to stay together with students on camping and field trips or help with community services. And activities which allow them to mix freely with the children will help them understand the needs of the children better.

Asking parent volunteers to keep records of classroom activities, the resources used, etc., is a good way of making good use of them. Ask them to help out with restocking（补充）the materials needed for arts and crafts. You can even ask them to help tune musical instruments, organize the library and the children’s artwork. Make sure that they are comfortable doing the work assigned（布置）to them, after all, you would not want to offend（冒犯）their feelings.

School is considered as a second home, and there is a constant need to conduct research or surveys to find out whether the children are comfortable in school and what they think of it. A better way to do this is to employ parent volunteers to complete the task. Ultimately（最重要地）, the goal of research or surveys is to make the school environment-friendly and home-like. Thus, it makes sense to conduct research or surveys with the help of parent volunteers.

It goes without saying that you ought to thank the parent volunteers for all their help. To conclude, I agree with the saying,“Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful committed citizens can change the world; indeed, it’s the only thing that ever has.”

In Denmark, parents are allowed to set up a new school if they are dissatisfied with the school in the area where they are living. Although these schools have to follow the national courses, they are allowed a lot of choice in deciding what to teach. Some of these new schools are called “small schools” because usually the number of pupils in them is only sixty, but a school has to have at least twenty-seven pupils.

Cooleenbridge School in Ireland, is a small school similar to the ones in Denmark, it was set up by parents who came from Holland, Germany, Czechoslovakia, England and other parts of Ireland.

According to the WHO, 90 percent of the world’s population lives in a place where they are exposed to unsafe levels of airborne pollutants, contributing to up to seven million deaths each year. If you live in a city, chances are that you’re part of that 90 percent, even if your city is relatively clean. That’s why cities worldwide have started embracing Internet of Things (IoT)solutions.

One of the best ways to fight pollution is to figure out where it’s worst and where it’s coming from. If you’ve ever made a habit of checking air quality around you, you may notice that there aren’t actually that many monitoring stations, and your closest one may not be that close. For pollution data to really be accurate and helpful, we need a lot more of it.

Luckily, IoT sensors and low-power wide-area networks are making it a lot easier to get and spread ultra-local data. Lampposts are one popular place to put them. For example, the Republic of Korea and Barcelona have already built out a network of pollution sensors in their streetlights. On the other hand, outfitting (配备) cars, bikes, and even people with pollution sensors provides valuable data on a smaller, more mobile scale.

Since pollutant levels can change dramatically even from one city block to another, having smaller-scale data is important for making a lot of decisions that, over time, might have a major influence on our health and behavior. It can influence where we decide to live, when we exercise, whether we bike to work, and, perhaps most importantly, what we can do about pollution in our area.

What all the Internet of Things can help us do on a personal level is use less energy. The data it provides, though, can be used to make big and small changes to the way we behave and build, and that is eventually where we’ll see benefits.

1.What’s the problem mentioned in Paragraph 1?

A.The death rate is high every year. B.There are too many people in the world.

C.There is little space for people to live in. D.Air pollution is more serious than expected.

2.How does the author mainly develop Paragraph 3?

A.By analyzing main causes. B.By citing research findings.

C.By giving specific examples. D.By making close comparisons.

3.Why is it necessary to collect data on a smaller scale?

A.It directly decreases pollutant levels. B.It uses less energy to clean the air.

C.It covers more areas of air pollution. D.It betters decisions on our lifestyle.

4.What’s the author’s attitude towards using IoT to solve air pollution?

A.Disapproving. B.Doubtful.

C.Positive. D.Uncaring.
