The Guidance Department （教導(dǎo)處）at Berryville High School has a staff of eleven teachers. Most of their work is done with the students. But the staff sees a lot of parents, too.
“Parents meetings make clear monthly diagram（圖表）.”says Mildred Freman, head of the Guidance. “This diagram stays much the same from year to year. The busy months are October, March and May. ”
September, the beginning of a new school year, starts rather slowly. Few parents come in. Most of these want to talk about the schedules. October brings many problems caused by some students. Some parents are called in. Others come by themselves. Things quiet down in November. December is a quiet month. “It’s the holiday. ”Ms Foreman says, “People want to come in, I know, but they decide to wait until after New Year’s Day.”
Report cards go home just before Christmas holidays. Bad marks bring parents in as school opens again. This happens again in March, another report card month. May is always the year’s busiest month. That’s when parents begin to think that their children may be asked to stay in the same grade again. They come in to see if anything can be done before things are decided in June.

It is widely accepted that television is playing an important part in people's lives. But, there is a heated discussion as to whether television does good or harm.
Television keeps one learning more about present events, allows one to follow the most re­cent developments in politics and science, and offers various programs which are .both instructive and exciting. The most distant countries, the strangest customs and the most attractive scenes of nature are brought right into one's room or house.
However, some people insist that television is bad rather than good. They argue that it has brought about many serious problems. The major one is its effects on young people. Children are now so used to getting their information and entertainment from television that their ability to read and write as well as physical ability has been greatly weakened. Even worse than that, vulgar( 庸俗的) advertisements and poor programs may develop their bad tastes, shape their view points badly towards human life to such a degree that their minds might be destroyed.
In a word, television has both advantages and disadvantages. Whatever effects it has, one point is certain, television in itself is neither good nor bad. It is the use to which it is put that decides its value to society.

Can plants eat people? Probably not, but there are many plants that eat meat. Some of them are big. And they can eat small animals. One famous meat-eating plant is the Venus flytrap(捕蠅草).
The Venus flytrap is a very strange plant. It grows in dry parts of the United States. Its leaves are like the pages of a book. They can open and close very quickly. Inside the leaves, there are three small hairs. If a fly touches one of the hairs, the leaf closes quickly. The fly cannot get out. In about half an hour, the leaf presses the fly until it is dead. Then, the plant covers the fly. Slowly, the plant eats the fly.
Why do plants do it? Most plants get what they need from the sun, the air, and the ground. In some places, the ground is very poor. It doesn't have all these important things, especially nitrogen(氮). Animal meat has a lot of nitrogen, so some plants eat meat to get what they need. Let's hope that some of the bigger plants don't get the same idea!

螞蟻和蚜蟲(chóng)的關(guān)系簡(jiǎn)直可以說(shuō)是親密無(wú)間的，有時(shí)候，你會(huì)看到一群螞蟻背著蚜蟲(chóng)川流不息地跑來(lái)跑去，那是螞蟻在給蚜蟲(chóng)搬家。當(dāng)蚜蟲(chóng)在一片植物上大肆蠶食，只剩下殘莖敗葉之后，螞蟻就把這群禍害轉(zhuǎn)移到另一處食物充足的地方去，使蚜蟲(chóng)能夠飽食終日，好排泄出更多的蚜蜜來(lái)。在螞蟻搬家的時(shí)候，也不會(huì)丟下為它提供美餐的好朋友不管。確定了新居之后，小螞蟻就會(huì)把蚜蟲(chóng)一個(gè)一個(gè)搬到附近的植物上去。螞蟻不僅是蚜蟲(chóng)的“衛(wèi)士”，還是蚜蟲(chóng)的“保姆”。冬天臨近了，雌蚜排出了一個(gè)個(gè)越冬卵。螞蟻很擔(dān)心這些卵會(huì)被凍壞，便不辭勞苦地把它一個(gè)個(gè)搬到外面晾曬，曬完后再搬回巢去。到了次年早春，蚜卵孵化了，這下又忙壞了小螞蟻，它又主動(dòng)承擔(dān)了喂養(yǎng)小蚜蟲(chóng)的任務(wù)。直到春暖花開(kāi)，螞蟻又把小蚜蟲(chóng)一個(gè)個(gè)搬出洞來(lái)，放到植物上，讓它去啃食鮮嫩的莖葉，以便自己從它的屁股后面撈取一點(diǎn)蚜蜜。（選自《中學(xué)生必讀文庫(kù)》）
