When my friend put out the idea of homeschooling to her parents, the first reaction they gave was, “You are cutting the child off the world.” Did the child really get cut off or did the child socialize better?
The moment we hear of homeschooling, we think the child will have no opportunities to interact with peers. However, in my friend’s opinion, we forget that when attending a regular school, the child is not into socializing all the while. The child is confined to so many other activities. Studies take a major role in a child’s life. The child hardly has the time to interact at school.
The child might be meeting and studying along with many peers; however, how many kids interact with all the kids in a class? But in homeschooling system, as my friend mentioned, the kid has all the time and can plan his day accordingly. During the day the child studies just like other school-going kids but with no burden of homework and project work, the child has so much free time in the evening as to effectively interact and play with peers. The quality time the child spends in education is really impressive.
Homeschooled kids have the opportunity to socialize more often as they have a lot of time in their hands. They can also make socializing a regular habit. Just as my friend said, her child goes to a neighboring park almost every day and has a set of friends who go there daily. Other children get back home to finish off homework and project work whereas her child who is already through with studies gets the opportunity to spend time with family members.
When I heard this, I really felt how lucky the child was. Definitely the child had a better opportunity to socialize when compares with my kids. However, I might not consider homeschooling for my kid, as I am so used to the traditional schooling system and feel regular schooling the safest bet.

D
Why are people interested in eating raw foods or whole foods? One reason is that eating these types of food reduces the risk of acid accumulation in your body． Raw and whole foods are usually digested more efficiently than cooked and refined foods．
When we cook foods，we destroy the natural enzymes(酶)that are part of the food in its raw form．These enzymes were intended by nature to help us digest the food．When we consume food without these natural enzymes，our bodies either digest the food improperly or allow too many nutrients to be absorbed into the bloodstream．In both instances，the result is obesity．When too many nutrients are absorbed at once，the body grows fat．
Processed foods contain chemical elements，which might confuse the appetite mechanism that tells us when we’ve had enough to eat；as a result，people often overeat．Processed foods also upset the digestive cycle．The body will either identify these foods as allergens(过敏原)and then store them safely away from the organs as fat，or the remains of undigested food will become acidic and enter the bloodstream as acid waste，which will stick to the blood vessel walls and block the passage of vital oxygen and nutrients heading for the body's cells．The body's metabolism(新陈代谢)becomes inactive，and the result is weight gain and obesity．
To stop this vicious circle in its tracks，people need to consume food and supplements that will neutralize the acid already accumulated in body．Eating the right types of raw and whole foods can help．It’s also important to restore your enzyme balance．You need to identify and avoid the foods that cause acid accumulation and consume the foods that increase enzyme production．If you truly want to change and help your body heal itself，you need to take an active approach．
1.It can be inferred from Para．2 that ．
A．foods with natural enzymes help people keep fit
B．we’d better be cautious about raw and whole foods
C．it is essential for people to protect their vital organs
D．giving up cooked and refined foods is a new lifestyle
2.Processed foods are unhealthy because they ．
A．destroy body's cells
B．may lead to obesity
C．are difficult to digest
D．stop body's metabolism
3.What is the main purpose of this passage?
A．To warn people of the problem of obesity．
B．To advocate eating more raw and whole foods．
C．To inform people of the harm of processed foods．
D．To tell the differences between raw and processed foods．
4.The underlined word “vicious” in the last paragraph probably means ．
A．violent B．progressive
C．harmful D．positive

When we’re young, we dream of love and fulfillment. We perhaps think of nights in the moon or walks along the beach at sunset.
No one tells us that the moments of a lifetime are flashing by, unplanned and nearly always catch us off guard.
Not long ago, as I was reading a bedtime story to my seven-year-old daughter, Annie, I became aware of her look. She was staring at me with a charmed expression. , completing The Tale of Samuel Whiskers was not as as we first thought. I asked what she was thinking about.
"Mommy," she , "I just can't stop looking at your pretty face."I almost dissolved on the spot.
Not long after, I took my four-year-old son to an elegant department store, where the sweet notes of a classic love song us toward a musician playing a grand piano. Sam and I sat down on a marble bench nearby, and he seemed as absorbed in the pleasant as I was.
I didn't realize that Sam had next to me until he turned, took my face in his little hands and said, " with me."
those women walking under the Paris moon knew the of such an invitation made by a round-cheeked boy with baby teeth! Although openly laughed and pointed at us as we glided and whirled around the open atrium(中庭), I would not have a dance with such a charming young gentleman if I'd been offered the universe.

What are American high schools like? Well，I'm happy to tell you what I know．
When I started school here，it had already been a week since the schoo1 opened．At this school，freshmen usually go on a trip for about three days at the beginning of school. Unfortunately I missed that wonderful trip．which would have been the best time to get to know my classmates．I was really sad．I wished I’d known about it earlier.
Despite the disappointment，however，I gradually adapted to my new life and schoo1．
There is a space in the basement of the teaching building where students chat and meet each other．As we do not always have the same classrooms and classmates，the school wants us to get to know each other there．Students usually come to school early，sit in that space and have fun．Around the space，there are many lockers for students to leave their books in，so that students do not have to carry a heavy schoolbag everywhere．
It really surprises me that we have almost no textbooks．We only have textbooks for World History and Algebra and they are big and heavy，like bricks．For other classes，we only need binders(活页夹)with paper in them．Without textbooks，students learn things freely and actively．For example，my humanities teacher just teaches us what is in her mind at the time．We never know what we will learn．
Another difference between American schools and Chinese schools is that American schools care about students’ morality more than their academic studies．For example，if you do not finish your homework，you will just be asked to do it later，but if you cheat or lie，you will get a warning or even be kicked out．
I think that most students here are good at schoolwork as well，but compared to Chinese students，they can make learning a more joyful experience．I think we should take the good points from our two different kinds of education to perfect our approach to studying．
1.What was the writer sad for?
A．He was late for schoo1．
B．He missed the trip at the beginning of schoo1．
C．He didn’t know anyone．
D．American students looked down upon him．
2.Why do students go to the basement of the teaching building?
A．To attend class． B．To share a classroom．
C．To have fun． D．To meet teachers．
3.According to the passage，in American high schools，_________．
A．you are likely to be kicked out if you cheat
B．you’11 be punished if you do not finish your homework
C．students are better at school work than Chinese students
D．students care much about the grades they get
