As researchers learn more about how children’s intelligence develops, they are increasingly surprised by the power of parents. The power of the school has been replaced by the home. To begin with, all the factors which are part of intelligence－the child’s understanding of language, learning patterns, curiosity－are established well before the child enters school at the age of six. Study after study has shown that even after school begins, children’s achievements have been far more influenced by parents than by teachers. This is particularly true about learning that is language-related.The school rather than the home is given credit for changes in achievement in subjects such as science.

In view of（鑒于） their power, it’s sad to see so many parents not making the most of their child’s intelligence. Until recently parents had been warned by educators who asked them not to educate their children. Many teachers now realize that children cannot be educated only at school and parents are being asked to contribute both before and after the child enters school.

Parents have been particularly afraid to teach reading at home. Of course, children shouldn’t be pushed to read by their parents, but educators have discovered that reading is best taught individually－and the easiest place to do this is at home. Many four-and five-year-olds who have been shown a few letters and taught their sounds will create single words of their own with them even before they have been taught to read.

66．What have researchers found out about the influence of parents and the school on children’s intelligence?

      A．Parents have greater influence than the school.

      B．The school plays a greater role than parents.

      C．Parents and the school have the equal power.

      D．Neither parents nor the school has any influence.

      A．it is with the help of the teachers that children have an understanding of language

      B．curiosity is formed after the children enter school

      C．children’s learning patterns are developed at the early age

      D．only the school can give children the opportunity to make achievements

68．According to the text, in which area may school play a more important role?

      A．Moral education.                                    B．Language education.

      C．Physical education.                                  D．Science education.

69．Many parents fail to make the most of their children’s intelligence because________.

      A．they usually push the children to read at home

      B．they only teach them after they enter school

      C．they teach them in a wrong way at home

      D．they were told by educators not to teach their children

70．The author suggests in the text that________.

      A．teaching at home has fully replaced school education

      B．parents should be encouraged to teach reading at home

      C．reading is supposed to be taught in large groups

      D．school education should give way to home education

Many years ago, I owned a service station and roadhouse on the main road between Melbourne and Adelaide． 

One very cold, wet night at about 3 : 30 a．m, there was a   36   at the front door of our house．A young man,   37   from head' to toe, explained that he had   38   out of petrol about 30 km up the road．He had left his pregnant （懷孕的） wife and his two children  39   at the car and said that he would hitchhike （搭便車(chē)） back．

As soon as I  40   a can with petrol, I took him back to his car, where his two-year-old and four-year-old children were both  41   .They were wet and cold．I suggested that they   42   me back．

Before leaving, I had turned the heater   43   in the roadhouse, so when we went in, it was nice and  44   ．While the little ones played and ran  45    ,1 prepared bread and butter for the children, 46 hot chocolate for the adults．

About a month later,! received a  50   from Interstate, a large bus company that we had been trying to   51    to stop off at our roadhouse for a long time．It  52   out that the young fellow I had helped was its general manager, the most  53    person in the company．

In his letter, he thanked me again and   54   me that, from then on, all their buses would stop at my service station．In this   55   , a little bit of kindness was rewarded with a huge amount of benefit．
