13．Homeschooling is the education of children at home，typically by parents but sometimes by tutors，rather than in public or private school．As a matter of fact，most childhood education occurred within the family or community．
Homeschooling is a legal choice for parents in developed countries to provide their children with a learning environment at home．Parents see many reasons for homeschool，including better test results，improved instruction，to help the public system with fewer kids，poor public school environment，religious reasons，improved character development，the expense of private education，and objection to what is taught locally in public school．
Homeschooling can also be a choice for families living in remote （遙遠的） locations，living abroad，and to allow for more traveling．Also many young athletes and actors are taught at home，where a coach （教練） or tutor is with the child for many years and then knows the child very well．
In some places，an approved curriculum （課程） is required if children are to be home-schooled．In some cases a liberal arts （文科） education is provided．
根據(jù)短文內(nèi)容，從A、B、D四個選項中選出能回答所提問題或完成所給句子的最佳答案
36．Home-schooled children are usually taught byB．
A．teachers or neighbours                        
B．parents or tutors
C．coaches or tutors                             
D．instructions or officials
37．According to the text，some parents choose to homeschool their children beca useC．
A．they are tired of taking their children to and from school
B．their children are too naughty to go to a regular school
C．they are not satisfied with what is taught at local public schools
D．they have too many children to feed and educate 
38．Which of the following is TRUE about home-schooling according to the text？D
A．Home-schooling is still illegal in developed countries．
B．Athletes and actors can not be home-schooled．
C．There is no curriculum for home-schooled children．
D．Some parents have to home-school their children when living abroad．

分析 本文講述了在家教育這一現(xiàn)象，這種現(xiàn)象多是因為家長對公立學校的不滿意以及居住條件的需要．

解答 36．B．細節(jié)題．由第一段typically by parents but sometimes by tutors，可知教育通常由父母負責，有時由家庭老師負責，故選B．
37．C．理解推斷題．由第二段Parents see many reasons for homeschool，including better test results，improved instruction，to help the public system with fewer kids，poor public school environment，religious reasons，improved character development，the expense of private education，and objection to what is taught locally in public school．父母引述了大量原因解釋在家上學的動機，包括更好的學業(yè)測驗結(jié)果，不理想的公立學校環(huán)境，宗教原因，改良個性或品德發(fā)展，私立學校的高費用，以及反對本地公立學校教授的內(nèi)容．這些原因都是對公立學校的不滿意，故選C．
38．D．理解推斷題．由最后一段Homeschooling can also be a choice for families living in remote （遙遠的） locations，living abroad，and to allow for more traveling．可知居住在國外時，家長需要在家教育孩子，故選D．

In 1969，the pollution was terrible along the Guyahoga River near Cleveland，Ohio．It（61）was（be）unimaginable that it could never be cleaned up．The river was so polluted that it（62）actually （ctual） caught fire and burned．Now，years later，this river is one of （63）the most understanding examples of environmental cleanup．
But the river wasn't changed in a few days （64）or even a few months．It took years of work 
（65）toreduce （reduce） the industrial pollution and clean the water．Finally，that hard work paid off and now the water in the river is （66）cleaner（clean） than ever．

18．What is your favourite colour？Do you like yellow，orange，red？（71）D．Do you prefer greys and blues？Then you are probably quiet，shy，and you would rather follow than lead．You tend to be pessimist．At least，this is what psychologists tell us，and they should know，because they have been seriously studying the meaning of colour preference，as well as the effect that colours have on human beings（72）B．If you happen to love brown，you did so，as soon as you opened your eyes，or at least as soon as you could see clearly．
（73）G．A yellow room makes most people feel more cheerful and more relaxed than a dark green one； and a red dress brings warmth and cheer to the saddest winter day．（74）A．A black bridge over the Thames River，near London，used to be the scene of more suicides（自殺） than any other bridge in the area---until it was repainted green．The number of suicide attempts immediately fell sharply．Perhaps it would have fallen even more if the bridge had been done in pink or baby blue．

5．Sit up straight．Say please and thank you．Don't put your elbows on the table．Most of us were drilled from an early age in proper manners and etiquette．But manners and etiquette （33）canvary widely in different cultures．
Take table manners for example．In many parts of the world，it's considered rude to make noises when eating．The Japanese，however，think it customary to make some slurping（嘖嘖的） noises while eating noodles．They say the noodles taste better．A person who eats noodles （34）withoutmaking any sound could seem strange in Japan．
Another interesting cultural difference is portrayed in a TV advertisement （35）set（set） in an Asian city．It shows an Asian family inviting a westerner to dinner．The Asians prepare a lot of food to show the guest （36）theyare hospitable（殷勤好客的）．Westerners are taught to"clean their plates"and think it's impolite to leave food in the dishes．So the guest tries to finish his meal without leaving （37）anythingon his dishes．However，an Asian host sees an empty dish as a sign （38）thatthe guest wants more food．In the ad，the host immediately prepares more food for the guest，who tries to finish his food again just to show his manners．It becomes a circle of misunderstanding．
Differences are also seen in other aspects．While extending a hand to shake the hand of a person you're meeting with （39）seems（seem） to most of us a universal way of showing friendliness，an Orthodox Jew （東正猶太教徒） will not shake hands with someone of the opposite sex．Similarly，a strict Muslim woman will not shake hands with a man，though a Muslim man will shake hands with a non-Muslim woman．People in these cultures generally avoid （40）touching（touch） people of the opposite sex who are not family members．
