A primary school in US is grading (分級) parents on how much they support their children. Parents of pupils are marked from A to D based on their involvement(參與) with their children’s education.

To improve the children’s performance at school, the system encouraged their parents to attend events, such as parents’ evenings and plays, and help with learning at home. For many children at this school, it is making a huge difference. Children whose parents are in groups A and B make better progress than those whose parents are in groups C and D.

But not all parents are fond of being graded. “They’ll have us all wearing dunce’s (差生) hats next,” said a mother-of-one, who did not wish to be marked. She said that “It’s one thing when children get a bad grade, but now they openly embarrass their parents, too.” Another mother, who argued that the move had unfairly shifted responsibility from teachers to parents, said “Those parents who work from nine to five won’t have time to have as much input as stay-at-home mums who have the time to contribute more and go to more school events.”

But Pat Walker, 63, whose eight-year-old granddaughter attends the school, supported it.

She said, “I think it’s very beneficial(有好處) to the pupils and the parents and the grandparents as well.”

Prom(畢業(yè)舞會) is the last and biggest dance of the school year in the US, usually only for junior or senior students. This one big night costs teens and parents a lot of money.

Girls buy dresses while boys rent tuxedos(燕尾服). Girls usually get their hair, makeup and nails done for this special dance, and boys may rent a car to drive to the event and buy their date flowers. All of this adds up to a lot of money—an average of over $900 in 2015.

And that’s not where it stops. It’s becoming more common for teens to ask their dates(舞伴) to go with them to the dance in a special and public way. Lately, people are calling it a promposal(高中舞會)，or a prom proposal(求婚), because teens are putting almost as much hard work into it as a wedding proposal.

It is said that the average promposal costs about one third of the total cost of prom. Prom is a great chance to dress up, dance and have fun with friends. But there can also be a lot of added pressure for teens to look good and impress their friends, which may take away some of the fun.

______________________________

2.How much did students spend preparing for prom in 2015?

3.Why is asking a date to prom called a promposal nowadays?

A brown owl（貓頭鷹）sat on a branch and watched. He was good at watching. His big eyes blinked (眨眼睛). Down below, a white rabbit played in the grass. The rabbit was very fast，and it was too fast to catch. Every time the owl tried to catch the rabbit, the rabbit ran away.

The owl didn’t want the rabbit to know he was coming. Then, when he came close to the rabbit, he spread his body to change the shape of his shadow!

The white rabbit stopped eating grass and looked. Suddenly, there was an black rabbit next to him. The white rabbit looked at it. He didn’t know there was an owl near his home. It looked like he could make a new friend! Suddenly, the black rabbit disappeared, and in its place was the owl.

The rabbit cried out and tried to run for his hole, but the owl was waiting for him. The rabbit ran right into the owl’s claws and became his dinner. Sometimes, when you try something new, you can surprise yourself and others.
