Answer the questions
35、 on each text by choosing A, B, C or D. Mark your answers on ANSWER SHEET 1. 40 Rowena and Billy Wrangler are model high school students. They study hard and do extremely well on achievement tests. And next year, Rowena will be attending Harvard University. Billy, her younger brother, hopes to go to
36、 Cornell. What makes Rowena and Billy different from most students is that they dont go to school. In fact, theyve never been to school. Since kindergarten, theyve studied at home. Neither Rowena nor Billy feels as if theyve missed out on anything by being taught at home. Like many of more than one
37、million people who receive home schooling in the United States, they feel as if theyve gotten a good education. The home-schooling trend began in the U. S. in the 1980s with parents keeping their children out of public schools so they could provide religious education at home. Today, as the home-sch
38、ooling trend continues to grow, parents are more likely to consider home schooling as an option because they believe schools dont do a very good job of teaching and are occasionally dangerous places. But can parents really do a better job? The answer in many cases is yes. In many studies, students t
39、aught at home ranked average or above average when compared to students who went to public schools. More importantly, these students were often more self-directed and have a greater depth of knowledge. “They are very well prepared for academic challenges,“ says Patricia Riordan, the dean of admissio
40、ns at George Mason University. One such student, Robert Conrad, now a sophomore at university, claims he really learned how to study and schedule his time during his eight years of home schooling. Still, not every student is as successful as Robert. “For every home-schooling success story, there are
41、 an equal number of failures,“ states Henry Lipscomb, an educational researcher. “There are just so many disadvantages that students taught at home have to overcome.“ For example, they have fewer chances to interact with others of their own age. Consequently, they sometimes lack the usual social ski
42、lls. “No matter what, though,“ states Lipscomb, “home-schooling is a growing trend. I think well be seeing more and more of this.“ 41 Compared with other students, the most different thing Rowena and Billy do is that （ A） they study hard （ B） they do extremely well on achievement tests （ C） they nev
43、er go to school （ D） they feel they have gotten a good education 42 At first in the 1980s parents gave home-schooling to children for_. （ A） better education （ B） religious education （ C） safety （ D） all the above 43 According to the article, what is NOT the advantage of being educated at home? （ A）
44、 Home is a safer place for children. （ B） Students taught at home are more self-directed. （ C） Students taught at home have a greater depth of knowledge. （ D） Students taught at home can go to good universities. 44 The writer thinks_. （ A） parents can do a better job than schools （ B） home-schooling
45、 will be more and more useful （ C） students taught at home make greater achievements （ D） home-schooling is good in some aspects 45 The best title of this text might be_. （ A） Home-schooling: A Growing Trend （ B） Home-schooling: A Better Choice （ C） Home-schooling: A Way to Success （ D） Home-schooli
46、ng: A New Method of Education 45 A smile is a strong sign of a friendly and open attitude and a willingness to communicate. It is a positive, silent sign sent with the hope the other person will smile back. When you smile, you show you have noticed the person in a positive way. The result? That pers
47、on will usually smile back. You might not realize a closed position is the cause of many conversational problems. A common closed position is sitting with your arms and legs crossed and your hand covering your mouth or chin. This is often called the “thinking pose“. Ask yourself this question: Are y
48、ou going to interrupt someone who appears to be deep in thought? This position gives off “stay away“ signs and prevents your main “sign sender“ (your mouth) from being seen by others looking for inviting conversational signs. The open body position is most effective when you place yourself within co
49、mmunicating distance of the other personthat is, within about five feet. Take care, however, not to enter someones “personal space“ by getting too close, too soon. Leaning forward a little while a person is talking shows your interest and how you are listening to what the person is saying. By doing this, you are saying: I hear what youre saying, and Im interested inkeep talking! Often people will lean back with th
