Children are our future, and it’s up to us to arm them with the tools to succeed. Sadly, today’s children are being armed with more dangerous tools like weapons （武器）, drugs and gangs. Once a relatively peaceful environment, many schoolyards of today are becoming unsafe for both students and teachers.

Home schools are available to give you choices. Home schooling provides top-quality education, flexibility, and freedom to create your own schedule （日程表）. At Heritage Home School we believe the choice should be yours.

Thanks in part to modern technology, home schooling information is becoming readily available across our nation. A recent study by the ITBS（Iowa Tests of Basic Skills）and TAP（Tests of Achievement and Proficiency）shows us that students of home schools do particularly well when compared with the nationwide average. In every subject at every grade level, students of home schooling scored obviously higher than those in public and private schools.

If you’re new to home schooling, you may be asking yourself, “Will home schools really work for my children? ”

Fact: A nationwide study using a random（任意）selection of 1,516 families found students of home schooling to be scoring, on average, at or above the 80th percentile in all areas on standardized achievement test.

Note: The national average on standardized achievement tests is the 50th percentile.

Collectively, the staff（全体职员）at Heritage Home School brings 65 years of experience in home schooling curriculum（全部课程）. We’ve placed students in the top 2% of the nation in math and many are successfully moving on to college.

One study found that of the home schooled adults, 2% were unemployed, 2% were on welfare（福利）and 94% said home education prepared them to be independent persons.

Invention of TV began in 1922 in Rigby, Idaho, the hometown of Philo. At the age of 16, Philo was a very shy boy. Only his teacher, Justin Tolman, realized that Philo was a special person.

One day after school Mr Tolman found Philo in the schoolroom. The boy was making drawings on the blackboard.

“What are you doing?” Mr Tolman asked with interest. “What are these drawings?”

“I want to invent things,” Philo answered, “and these are the drawings of one of my first inventions. I have an idea for a way of sending pictures through the air. Please, just let me tell you about it. You are the only person who can understand what I have done.” In the school library Philo had read about a man who had worked on an idea for TV, but had failed. Philo was sure that his idea was better and that he could succeed.

Mr Tolman was not sure and asked Philo many questions about the drawings. Giving facts and figures, Philo answered every question.

In 1926, Philo sent his drawings to Washington, along with a letter asking for patent (专利)rights on TV. Since then, television has become an important business all over the world.

“It hurts me more than you,” and “This is for your own good.” These are the statements my mother used to make years ago when I had to learn Latin, clean my room, stay home and do homework..　　That was before we entered the permissive period in education in which we decided it was all right not to push our children to achieve their best in school.　　The schools and the educators made it easy on us. They taught that it was all right to be parents who take a let-alone policy. We stopped making our children do homework. We gave them calculators(计算器), turned on the television, left the teaching to the teachers and went on vacation.　　Now teachers, faced with children who have been developing at their pace for the past 15 years, are realizing we’ve made a terrible mistake. One such teacher is Sharon Klompus who says of her students ----- “so passive” ----- and wonders what happened. Nothing was demanded of them, she believes. Television, says Klompus, contributes to children’s passivity; “We’re not training kids to work any more.” says Klompus. “We’re talking about a generation of kids who’ve never been hurt or hungry. They have learned somebody will always do it for them. Instead of saying go look it up, you tell them the answer. It takes greater energy to say no to a kid.”　　Yes, it does. It takes energy and it takes work. It’s time for parents to end their vacation and come back to work. It’s time to take the car away, to turn the TV off, to tell them it hurts you more than them but it’s for their own good, It’s time start telling them no again.

33 According to the passage, children are growing inactive in study mainly because _____.　　 A. they watch TV too often　　 B. their parents leave them alone　　 C. their teachers are strict with them　　 D. they take on too many duties

34.To today’s kids as described in this passage,_____.　　 A. it is easier to give a negative（否定的）reply than to give a positive

(肯定的) reply　　 B. it is easier to give a positive reply than to give a negative reply　　 C. neither is easy — to say yes or to say no　　 D. neither is no easy job — to say yes or to say no

35.The main idea of this passage is that _____.　　 A. parents should set a good example for their kids　　 B. kids should have more activities outside campus(校园)　　 C. educators should not he so permissive　　 D. it is time to be strict with our children

Doctors say anger can be an extremely damaging emotion, unless you learn how to deal with it. They warn that anger can lead to heart disease, stomach problems, headaches, emotional problems and possibly cancer.

?___36___ Some people express anger openly in a calm reasonable way. Others burst with anger, and scream and yell. But other people keep their anger inside. They can not or will not express it. This is called repressing anger.

I told her everything that had happened to me in Dr Webber's secret brain-research Lab (研究实验室), out on the other side of Crystal Town.
