Extended family

In an extended family, all the people share one household. Apart from parents and children, there may be other family members: grandparents, aunts, uncles, cousins, etc. That is to say, a large family may have more than two generations, and often there are more than two adults from different generations of a family.

The family members live together for many reasons. They may help to bring up children or to take care of an ill relative. They may also help with saving money. Sometimes children are brought up by their grandparents, for their parents have died or can never take care of them. Many grandparents look after the children, particularly when both parents are busy working. This large family is called extended family. It can be found all over the world. The number of these families has increased by 40 percent in the past ten years. Most of such families live happily together.

听力原文： If parents bring up a child with the aim of turning the child into a genius,

they will cause a disaster. According to several leading educational psychologists, this is one of the biggest mistakes that ambitious parents make. Generally, the child will be only too aware of what the parent expects, and will fail. Unrealistic parental expectations can cause great damage to children. However, if parents are not too unrealistic about what they expect their children to do, but are ambitious in a sensible way, the child may succeed in doing very well — especially if the parents are very supportive of their child. Michael Li is very lucky. He is crazy about music, and his parents help him a lot by taking him to concerts and arranging private piano and violin lessons for him. Although Michaels mother knows very little about music, Michaels father plays the trumpet in a large orchestra. However, he never makes Michael enter music competitions if he is unwilling. Michaels friend, Winston Chen, however, is not so lucky. Although both his parents are successful musicians, they set a too high standard for Winston. They want their son to be as successful as they are and so they enter him in every piano competition held. They are very unhappy when he does not win. "When I was your age, I used to win every competition I entered," Winstons father tells him. Winston is always afraid that he will disappoint his parents and now he always seems quiet and unhappy. Questions 19 to 22 are based on the passage you have just heard. 19. What is the right attitude in bringing up a child？ 20. What does the speaker tell us about Michaels father？ 21. What can we learn about Winston Chens parents？ 22. Why does Winston always seem quiet and unhappy？19．

A．He knows very little about music.

B．He is a member of a large orchestra.

C．He wants Michael to be a great trumpet player.

D．He never makes Michael enter music competitions.

Homeschooling

Just in last year, more than one million children in the United States chose homeschooling but not traditional school education.This surprising figure was published by the National Center for Education Statistics.Homeschooling is a recent development in education.Not very long ago, it was still considered to be too radical by many education experts.Today, it has been accepted n almost every state.Thousands or even millions of children have tried homeschooling and many more parents are seriously considering it.The interesting thing was what led to such a change.There have been many recent surveys to show that parents are getting impatient and fed up with our public schooling system because it doesn't teach children any practical or real-life skills.

Parents are also concerned about the negative news from schools.For example, some students take drugs in schools, fight with schoolmates and even bring guns and knives to school.Parents are deeply worried about how the behavior. of these students would affect their children's healthy growth.

Homeschooling, on the other hand, allows parents to bring up their children in a natural and loving environment.It is especially important in the early years of the children's development (between three and twelve years old) because this is the period when they are easily affected by negative influences and peer pressure.And during this time most of them cannot tell what is right and what is wrong.Obviously, homeschooling can keep them from some of these bad influences.

Homeschooling has some other benefits, Since parents and children spend more time together, a nice relationship or a stronger bond can be formed between them.This bond can connect with them closer than they have ever thought before.If parents choose homeschooling, they can easily pass their moral values and beliefs on to their children since they stay together longer or maybe they are even the teachers themselves.

So what major factors are stopping parents from adopting homeschooling？ One important thing is that homeschooling costs a lot of time and money.For most families, both parents have to work full-time to support the family.Many homeschooling families depend on one parent for the income, while the other parent has to spend all the time on teaching the child.Therefore in some cases, it is not possible to adopt homeschooling if the family doesn't have stable income.

To help and guide homeschooling families, more and more homeschooling support groups are appearing in the neighborhood.Some have even gone online.If parents do decide to choose homeschooling, they can always get advice from a homeschooling support group.

Passage Four:Questions 36 to 40 are based on the following passage.Although April did not

bring us the rains we all hoped for, and although the Central Valley doesn’t generally experience the atmospheric sound and lightning that can accompany those rains, it’s still important for parents to be able to answer the youthful questions about thunder and lightning.

The reason these two wonders of nature are so difficult for many adults to explain to children is that they are not very well understood by adults themselves. For example, did you know that the lightning we see flashing down to the earth from a cloud is actually flashing up to a cloud from the earth？ Our eyes trick us into thinking we see a downward motion when it’s actually the other way around. But then, if we believed only what we think we see, we’d still insist that the sun rises in the morning and sets at night.

Most lightning flashes take place inside a cloud, and only a relative few can be seen jumping between two cloud or between earth and a cloud. But, with about 2,000 thunderstorms taking place above the earth every minute of the day and night, there’s enough activity to produce about 100 lightning strikes on earth every second.

Parents can use thunder and lightning to help their children learn more about the world around them. When children understand that the light of the lightning flashing reaches their eyes almost at the same moment, but the sound of the thunder takes about 5 seconds to travel just one mile, they can begin to time the interval between the flash and the crash to learn how close they were to the actual spark.

第36题：According to the author, in the area of the Central Valley, ________.

A) rains usually come without thunder and lightning

B) it is usually dry in April

C) children pay no attention to natural phenomena

D) parents are not interested in thunder and lightning

听力原文：My friend Leo makes up weak and poor excuses whenever there's something he doesn'

听力原文： My friend Leo makes up weak and poor excuses whenever there's something he doesn't want to do. Just two weeks ago, he was at my house when he decided he didn't want to go into work. He called his boss and said he had to get a new set of tires put on his truck. Then he sat down and watched TV with me. Not only had he lied, but his excuse wasn't a very convincing one. Another time he canceled a date with his girlfriend at the last minute, telling her he had to get a new battery for his truck.

She was angry and refused to go out with him again until he apologized. Last weekend, Leo offered the poorest excuse yet. He'd promised he'd help me move some furniture from my parents' house to my new apartment. He was supposed to bring his truck over about 8 o'clock Saturday morning. I waited and then called and left a message on his machine. About 11:30, he called and said he was sorry but he'd been getting a new set of tires put on his truck. I guess he'd forgotten he used the same excuse when he called his boss from my house. I think I need a new set of friends. I'm beginning to get tired of Leo's excuses.

Questions:

What does the speaker tell us about her friend Leo？

What did his girlfriend do when Leo canceled the date with her at the last minute？

What favor did the speaker ask Leo to do last weekend？

(30)

A．He will betray even his best friends.

B．He is able to make up good excuses.

C．He will lie whenever he wants.

D．He tries to achieve his goal at any cost.
