3 . Luis Reynoso says he’s always tried to get involved (牵涉) in his children’s education: attending meetings on school-improvement projects and providing classroom food. But when his youngest daughter’s school invited families to attend a nine-week program Let’s Change the Course organized by a leading education advocacy group here to learn about parenting and school participation, he realized his past efforts barely scratched the surface.

Each weekly session touched on different parenting themes, like setting up a special space at home for kids to do homework, like the importance of confidence. One of the most helpful sessions, he recalls, focused on what a child should know academically in each grade and how to talk to teachers about his daughter’s performance. “The workshops really woke me up,”says Mr. Reynoso.

Levels of parental participation in Mexican schools have long been low. Many people commonly believe a child's education is the school s job to get involved. In some parts of the country, a mother's or father's own lack of education can play into a sense that they have nothing to contribute. And even in private schools, where there might be more adults with fixed jobs and the participation is very rare, with some parents viewing their tuition (学费) bill as their educational contribution. There are also cases where the schools themselves ignore the potential of parents in a child's education, discouraging communication between families and schools.

But the importance of family participation is something many non-profit, education advocates and recently the government are starting to home in on Mexico. Part of Mexico’s 2013 national education reform stresses the importance of parents playing a more active role in their child’s education, encouraging an increase in parental-participation programs, including Let’s Change the Course.

Susana Castellanos, headmaster of a school in Mexico City, says, “People are recognizing you have to work together to create happy successful citizens. It’s no longer acceptable to set apart the roles of teacher vs. parent vs. school headmaster.”

1. What does Reynoso mean by the underlined sentence in Paragraph 1?

A．His previous efforts were in vain.

B．He missed the key point of participation.

C．His daughter disagreed with what he did.

D．He failed to catch the importance of school.

2. What did Reynoso find most beneficial about Let’s Change the Course?

A．The necessity to set up a space for kids to do homework.

B．The academic requirements for kids in different periods.

C．The importance of knowing children’s performance.

D．The ways to increase students’ confidence.

3. What is the main idea of Paragraph 3?

A．How to contribute more to children’s education.

B．How to know the levels of parental participation in Mexican schools.

C．Why schools failed to provide chances for parents to get involved,

D．Why parents played a less active role in school education in Mexico.

4. What influence did Mexico’s education reform have?

A．The number of parental-participation programs rose.

B．Many non-profit educational organizations were set up.

C．Teachers role in school education started to get increased.

D．Parents began to attach importance to children's education.

4 . I didn’t cry when I learned I was the parent of a mentally disabled child.

“Go ahead and cry,” the doctor advised kindly. But I couldn’t cry then nor during the months that followed.

We enrolled her in our neighborhood school’s kindergarten at age seven. I worried that she was the “different” child among twenty five-year-olds. However, positive things began to happen to Kristi in her school, and to her schoolmates, too. When boasting of their own accomplishments, Kristi’s classmates always took pains to praise her as well, “Kristi got all her spelling words right today.”

During Kristi’s second year in school, the big public event of the term was a competition based on a culmination of the year’s music and physical education activities.

On the day of the program, Kristi pretended to be sick, but my conscience got reluctant Kristi onto the school bus. Also, I forced myself to go to the program. Then I knew why Kristi had been worried. Her class was divided into relay teams. With her limp and slow, clumsy reactions, she would surely hold up her team.

But as Kristi’s turn to participate neared, change took place in her team. The tallest boy in the line stepped behind Kristi and placed his hands on her waist. Two other boys stood a little ahead of her. The moment the player in front of Kristi stepped from the sack, those two boys grabbed the sack and held it open while the tall boy lifted Kristi and dropped her neatly into it. A girl in front of Kristi took her hand and supported her briefly until Kristi gained her balance. Then off she hopped, smiling and proud.

Amid the cheers of teachers, schoolmates and parents, I thanked Heaven for the warm, understanding people in life who make it possible for my disabled daughter to be like her fellow human beings.

Then I finally cried.

1. What was Kristi’s schoolmates’ attitude to her at last?

A．Scornful.	B．Indifferent.
C．Kind.	D．Critical.

2. Why did Kristi pretend to be sick on the day of the program?

A．She didn’t like the school.

B．She was afraid of affecting her team.

C．She was often made fun of by his classmates.

D．She might fail and be laughed at by parents.

3. What can be a suitable title for the text?

A．The Gift of The God.	B．The Help of The Understanding People.
C．The Precious Parents’ Love.	D．The Day Finally I Cried.

6 . 阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。续写的词数应为150左右。

Last Christmas my older sister Jane got a unicycle (独轮脚踏车) she had requested. I thought it kind of strange, wondering why she would want something like that. She did ride and practice for a while, but eventually stopped.

Curious, I tried it, finding it very hard and thinking it impossible for a weak girl like me to learn. Since our dining room of our old house had low beams (屋梁), I used them like monkey bars to practice riding, which helped a lot. Because I thought it was really fun, I practiced every spare moment I had, teaching myself to go forwards, backwards and to turn. Practicing was something I loved to do in my spare time, but it did get discouraging when I fell. After months of practicing, I finally made it.

One morning, our teacher Maria excitedly announced that a school talent show was to be held to raise money for charity. She encouraged my classmates to sign up for it. I’m not always best in front of a crowd, which was why I was very nervous when I meant to put on my performance by doing a hula hoop (圈) and riding a unicycle on stage. But I overcame my fear and entered myself for the talent show, for which I practiced a lot in case I should mess up.

My routine (整套动作) was to do the hula hoop from my neck, down to my stomach, then to my knees. After that, I was to ride my unicycle forwards and backwards on stage. Lastly I would do the hula hoop while riding the unicycle. I was to do all this accompanied by my carefully selected music. I wondered what people from my seventh grade would think of my performance. With my friends inspiring me, I built up my confidence. On the night of the show, many people found out there was going to be a unicycle performance, so more came, even the headmaster.

Para. 1: I was both nervous and excited when it was my turn.

Para. 2: When I got home, I couldn’t wait to check my mobile phone left at home.

8 . Directions: Complete the following passage by using the words in the box. Each word can only be used once. Note that there is one word more than you need.

The Floating School

Life on the islands can feel a bit isolated due to a lack of electricity and internet connectivity.

Although some of the islands have primary schools, most young people must travel to the larger islands or to the mainland to attend high school. Schools on the islands follow the     1     curriculum (课程). They don't teach subjects such as maritime skills, swimming or local fishing traditions, and so the curriculum isn't always     2     with students' everyday life.

So, we     3     the Floating School after winning funding through a US State Department grant competition called Seeds for the Future. Before we started the school, we spoke with young people, community leaders and teachers on the islands to find out the topics young people are most interested in. We also learned about the various     4     of students and young people who don't go to school. Thus, we     5     our own non-formal educational programme that fits with the context of life on the islands. For example, those working in fishing have responsibility     6     the marine life, so we teach environmental protection and discourage destructive fishing practices.

The Floating School is a wooden boat that can     7     up to twenty people and it goes to the students, not the other way around -- we use it to transport educational materials, tools, and teachers to young people living on the islands. Our teachers are local young     8    — so far we have had journalists, photographers, computer engineers and musicians — and students who want to     9     their skills.

At first, many of the young people thought the Floating School would be the same as their schools on the islands. They had thought of the teachers to be     10    . But our students learn through art, media and literature. They don't have to wear uniforms or shoes, and the teachers treat the students as equals, without judging them. This means our students can be themselves.

The Calligraphy Club

10 . Both of Omar's parents were poets. For as long as Omar could remember, his parents spent at least one evening each week at a poetry reading, which usually took place at a small coffee house.

Omar had very fond memories of the coffee house on Sixth Street where the people's personalities were as colorful as the coffee cups. He loved going to early evening poetry readings at Cody's Coffee Shop. He would sit in the audience next to his parents, the smell of coffee floating through the air and the gentle voices of the poets removing his childish worries with the rhythm of their poems.

There was one woman who came to Cody's every week just as his parents did. Her name was Mrs. Aboud. She never read, but she had a bright smile for everyone, and she would clap (手) loudly after each reading.

Eventually, Omar began writing his own poetry. Mrs. Francis, Omar's English teacher, advised him to enter a poetry contest ( 比赛). At first Omar was proud and excited. However, when he read the contest rules, he became concerned. The contest was an oral(口头的) reading. Omar had no doubt that he could write high-quality poetry, but he was a very shy young man. He doubted that he could stand in front of a large group to read his poems calmly.

“It would make me very proud”, his father said, and Omar knew that he had to go through with it somehow.

So on the day of the contest, he selected his favorite poem, put on his best clothes, and appeared at the auditorium (会堂).

When he stepped onto the stage, though, something wonderful happened! There in the audience, right beside his parents, was Mrs. Aboud. Omar could almost smell the coffee at Cody's Coffee Shop. He focused on his parents and Mrs. Aboud and tuned out everyone else. Now it was easy to read his poem in a clear, calm voice. When he finished, everyone in the auditorium applauded.

1. What is the second paragraph mainly about?

A．Poetry	B．A coffee house
C．Omar's parents	D．Omar's worries

2. Which word best describes Mrs. Aboud?

3. Why did Omar feel that he had to enter the contest?

C．forgot	D．impressed
