阅读理解训练（5） A “It takes an entire village to raise a child.” That’s an old proverb(谚语) that is being quoted more and more often these days. And I’m pleased about that. Today, more and more schools are reaching out to involve parents, community members and businesses to help shape a child’s future. Parents need to be involved in their children’s education in many ways. Helping children with homework and studying, going on a field trip, teaching a craft or coaching a child’s sports team are all great ways to be involved with your child’s education. And don’t forget to communicate with teachers---they need and respect your input. Studies show that children learn more and schools function better when parents and schools work together. It’s important to stay in touch with your child’s education all through his or her school career. Communities can help children create and achieve new goals. Help with homework, read to a child, coach a children’s team, or provide emotional support. Help solve problems and build self-esteem. Kids need role models and advisers can be role models by sharing their experiences and wisdom. Businesses can also help shape our children’s future. Invite a class from your local school to visit your workplace. You may be providing a glimpse that opens a new world of possibilities. Show students what goes on during a typical day. Give a mini course for students: how to use a computer; how products are made; how machinery works. You may have a developing electrician, teacher, nurse, or even a newspaper reporter on your hands. It really does take an entire village to raise a child. So share the responsibility---and the joy---of bringing a child to his or her full potential. 21. The implied advice in the proverb “It takes an entire village to raise a child.” is that ______. A. All the people in a village should give food to a child. B.Schools, parents, and other organizations should share the responsibility of shaping a child’s future. C. Children’s should be brought up in the village where they were born. D.

A. parents and members in organizations B. teachers and students C. newspaper reporters and developing electricians D. education experts and government officials 23.

B Many people find themselves caught up in others’ problems, and then confused about how and when to help. In fact, all relationships need limits no matter whether they are friendships, sibling relations, mates/ lovers or business relations. On some level, all limit setting means saying no. However, it is usually a qualified “no” that says what, where, when, and under what conditions you will give or not give to another person. There are three points we should keep in mind about limit setting: 1.Decide where to set the limits. Think about the entire situation. Consider your time, emotions, and means. Then consider whether you are helping the other person. Aim to do something to help the other person without taking on the whole problem. 2.Express the limits clearly. For example, you say to your friend, “ I will lend you $20,000 no more than once every three months. And I expect you will pay me back within three months and certainly before you can borrow more.” You say to another friend, “you can stay here for three weeks but you must help me with expenses and cooking and make sure that you will find your own place before the three weeks is up”. 3.Stick to your limits. You are not responsible for making the other person obey the limits. You are only responsible for following the limits yourself. Your friend has repaid $12,500 of his/her $20,000 and asks for $20,000 more. You say no. He/She gets emotional and then says, “I need this money to cover a bad check. If you cared for our friendship, you would do it”. Limit setting is often stressful and painful because people mistakes it for rejection. And limit setting certainly brings guilt. Bear in mind, it doesn’t mean you have given up or quit loving your friend, lovers, or sibling. It does mean you are expressing that love in a different and more helpful (to both of you) manner. 25. According to the passage, setting limits means___________________. A. refusing always to say yes to your friend B. saying no to your friend who turns to you C. making different kinds of friends D. breaking away from your friend 26.Once you decide to set limits, you should________________________. A. announce it publicly to others B. tell your friend about it clearly C. be responsible for your friend D. begin to help your friend 27.We can learn from the last paragraph that limit setting______________. A. is often misunderstood B. is actually a kind of rejection C. does harm to your friendship D .contains both love and hate 28. What would be the best title for the passage? A. About friendship B. How to make friends C. Set limits with friends D. Show your love in a new way 参考答案25-28 ABAC
