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(yuǎn)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(gè)選項(xiàng)中選出能回答所提問題或完成所給句子的最佳答案

解答 36．B．細(xì)節(jié)題．由第一段typically by parents but sometimes by tutors，可知教育通常由父母負(fù)責(zé)，有時(shí)由家庭老師負(fù)責(zé)，故選B．

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(yuǎn)的） locations，living abroad，and to allow for more traveling．可知居住在國外時(shí)，家長需要在家教育孩子，故選D．

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．
