Due to the increasing number of violence acts produced in schools all over the world，more and more parents prefer to have their children educated at home rather than at school. This way they can assure their safety and well-being，although teachers and school representatives are trying to improve the situation in schools by increasing the number of the persons in charge with the safety of the students．
The main reason for violence acts are the films and cartoons that fill the children’s time．They want to do everything．they watch on TV and never think at the consequences，and they may hurt a classmate or a teacher．
On the other hand, parents are not fully satisfied with the children’s results obtained in classes and they consider private classes would have better results．
When a teacher has to watch 30 students in class he can’t probably see what each of them is doing，how he is writing，or if he understands the explanations．At home the teacher can explain in details everything the child doesn’t understand as many times as he considers proper．
And many times．the child grows fond of the teacher at home，who becomes his best friend，and who helps him whenever he needs someone to talk to．
However, the best solution would be a mixture between the education received at school and that at home，because school makes children communicate and socialize．Keeping a child at home for fear there might happen something bad to him．only makes the child’s character weak and prevents him from knowing what real life is．Staying in a crystal ball only does harm to the child．
All in all．schools have been created to help children，not to harm them，so it’s best to keep children in these special places，where they learn，laugh，have fun and make new friends．

Fourteen – year – old Richie Hawley had spent five years studying violin at the Community School of Performing Arts in Los Angeles when he took part in a violin contest. Ninety two young people were invited to the contest and Hawley came out first．
The contest could have been the perfect setup for fear, worrying about mistakes, and trying to impress the judges．But Hawley says he did pretty well in staying calm. “I couldn’t be thinking about how many mistakes I’d make—it would distract me from playing,” he says．“I didn’t even remember trying to impress people while I played． It’s almost as if they weren’t there． I just wanted to make music．”
Hawley is a winner． But he didn’t become a winner by concentrating on winning． He did it by concentrating on playing well．
“The important thing in the Olympic Games is not to win but to take part,” said the founder of the modern Olympics, Pierre de Coubertin．“The important thing in life is not the triumph but the struggle．The essential thing is not to have conquered but to have fought well．”
A characteristic of high performers is their intense, pleasurable concentration on work, rather than on their competitors or future glory or money, says Dr．Charles Garfield, who has studied 1,500 achievers in business, science, sports, the arts, and professions．“They are interested in winning, but they’re most interested in self-development, testing their limits．”
One of the most surprising things about top performers is how many losses they’ve had and how much they’ve learned from each． “Not one of the 1,500 I studied defined losing as failing,” Garfield says．“They kept calling their losses ‘setbacks’．”
A healthy attitude toward setbacks is essential to winning, experts agree．
“The worst thing you can do if you’ve had a setback is to let yourself get stuck in a prolonged depression． You should analyze carefully what went wrong, identify specific things you did right and give yourself credit for them．” Garfield believes that most people don’t give themselves enough praise． He even suggests keeping a diary of all the positive things you’ve done on the way to a goal．
1.Hawley won the contest because _______．
A．he put all his mind to his performance
B．he cared much about the judges’ feelings
C．he tried his best to avoid making mistakes
D．he paid close attention to the people around
2.High performers is that they tend to give priority to _______．
A．glory B. wealth C. pleasure D. work
3.According to the passage, successful people concentrate on _______．
A．challenging their own limits B．learning from others
C．defeating their opponents D．avoiding setbacks
4. It can be learned from the passage that top performers are not _______．
A．interested in winning B．free of losses
C．accustomed to failures D．concerned about setbacks
5.The passage tells us that “praise” in times of trouble _______．
A．helps people deal with their disappointment
B．makes people forget their setbacks
C．makes people regret about their past
D．helps people realize their goals

科目：高中英語 來源：2012-2013學年天津市高三第二次月考英語試卷（帶待解） 題型：閱讀理解
I recently ran into a friend I hadn’t seen for a long while．Our conversation was lively and full of news from both sides．Before we parted she said，“You'll have to drop in sometime.” I immediately sensed that if I simply “dropped in’’ I would take my friend by surprise，and I would be discouraged by the image of her standing in her doorway，staring at me，and asking，“Oh，err …what brings you here?”
Whatever happened to the unannounced drop-in visit? When I was growing up in the 1960s, it seemed that people - mostly relatives, but also friends - were always popping in. My parents would put coffee on，and my mom would find something in the kitchen to serve along with it．Then the conversation would begin…The neighbor lady，a worrier，was unloading her sadness while my mom quietly listened．The Irish man next door had such an accent that I remember asking what language he spoke．My Polish relatives arrived in packs…But I never heard my parents say anything like “We weren’t expecting you’’ or “This isn’t a good time．”Drop-in visitors had a certain right of way and became No．1．
What happened to such visits? Actually I know the answer．Times have changed．Everybody gets busy with work．There is no longer a stay-at-home mom keeping a pot of hot coffee or tea ready throughout the day for a surprise guest．Exploding malls and stores are now replacing homes as a central form of entertainment．
Just the other day a former student of mine showed up．“I'm sorry for the surprise visit．”my student began．“I just wanted to see if you still lived here．I'll only stay a minute．”My response was immediate.“ No, you won’t,” I said.“Just come in, sit, have coffee, and we’ll talk.’’
I had nothing in the kitchen but we ordered pizza．And we had a lovely time．I have tried to keep the drop-in tradition alive though it takes some effort．
1.The author thought of his friend’s invitation --- “You’ll have to drop in sometime”--- as _______.
A．a nice way of refusal

C．a kind of politeness
D．an expression of surprise
2.The underlined phrase “ pop in” in the second paragraph means _________.
A．make many friends
B．make a special date
C．have a good time
D．pay a sudden visit
3.The woman from the neighborhood used to visit the author’s home to ________.
A．seek comfort from my parents
B．make new friends
C．1isten to my parents’ story
D．taste nice dishes
4.From the third paragraph of the passage，we can infer that __________．
A．the author misses the lost good days
B．unexpected visitors are still welcome now
C．modern people prefer outdoor activities
D．there are more jobs for the housewives now
5.The author writes the passage intending to __________.

科目：高中英語 來源：2010-2011學年北京市高二上學期期中考試英語題 題型：閱讀理解
Every pet owner loves his pet. There is no argument here.
But when we asked our readers whether they would clone （克隆， 復制）their beloved animals, the responses（反應） were split almost down the middle. Of the 228 readers who answered it, 108 would clone, 111 would not and nine weighed each side without offering an opinion.
Clearly, from readers’ response, this is an issue that reaches deeply into both the joy and final sadness of owning a pet. It speaks, as well, to people’s widely differing expectations over the developing scientific procedure.
Most of the respondents who favored the idea strongly believed it would produce at least a close copy of the original; many felt the process would actually return an exact copy. Those on the other side, however, held little hope a clone could never truly recreate a pet, many simply didn’t wish to go against the natural law of life and death.
Both sides expressed equal love for their animals. More than a few respondents owned “the best dog/cat in the world”. They thought of their pets as their “best friend”, “a member of the family,”“the light of my life.” They told moving stories of pets’ heroism, intelligence and selfless devotion.
Then the loss is so disturbing---and the cloning so attractive. “People become very close to their animals, and the loss can be just as hard to bear as when a friend or family member dies,” says Gary Kowalski, author of Goodbye, Friend: Healing Wisdom for Anyone Who Has Ever Lost a Pet. “For me, cloning feels like an attempt to turn death away…It’s understandable. Death is always painful. It’s difficult to deal with. It’s hard to accept.”
But would cloning reduce the blow? This question seemed to be at the heart of this problem.
1.So far as the cloning of pets is concerned, a recent survey shows that, of all pet owners, ____.
|
A．a lot more of them are for it |
|
B．a lot more of them are against it |
|
C．very few of them are willing to tell their opinions |
|
D．about half of them are for it and the other half against it |
2.While talking about the respondents from the readers, the expression “final sadness of owning a pet” refers to ____.
|
A．the death of one’s pet |
|
B．the high cost of owning a pet |
|
C．the troubles one has to deal with in keeping a pet |
|
D．the dangers about the cloning of a pet |
3.From what Gary Kowalski says, we can know that he ____.
|
A．has never thought about the problem of cloning |
|
B．is going to write another book on pets |
|
C．is in favor of the idea of cloning pets |
|
D．is all against the cloning of pets |
4.What is the key question at the heart of the problem of cloning pets?
|
A．Can cloning make the pain one suffers less when a pet dies? |
|
B．Can pet owners afford the cost of cloning? |
|
C．Does cloning go against the law of nature? |
|
D．How reliably does cloning produce an exact copy of one’s pet? |
