Ten years ago, not many families in the United States would consider homeschooling a serious option for their
children. There were negative feelings about homeschooling, especially among school educators, who considered it
crazy or irresponsible. But things have changed now. 1 . Homeschooling success stories are often reported in the
media . As homeschooling becomes more widely practiced, school communities are becoming far more
accepting and recognize that it can meet real needs.
2 Homeschooling provides community life that is valuable to children. Participating in community
life, homeschooled children relate socially with a wide variety of people. 3 . People can see how easy it is to get
along with homeschooled kids . Without social pressure from age-separated classrooms, kid feel more comfortable
forming friendships.
4 We often hear parents and kids talk about how relieved they feel from being freed of traditional
schooling and nightly homework. With independent learning, they have more time to talk and listen; more time to
spend in libraries, museums, and concert halls; or to hike, ride bikes, read, or think. These changes are what
happens when family life is driven by the needs of families, rather than the needs of institutions.
Homeschooling also creates better learning environments for children who have been wrongly considered as
having all sorts of imaginary “learning problems” in public and private schools. The educators want the children to
be fixed so that they will fit; the parents correctly sense that their children are fine and only need something
different: more space, freedom to move, a safe environment, or respectful treatment from others. 5 . For thesefamilies, homeschooling helps a child build a life that works.
A．Homeschooling helps children lo broaden their knowledge.
B．In homeschooling families, life is likely to be less stressful.
C．Some people choose homeschooling for socialization benefits.
D．Homeschooling success stories are often reported in the media.
E．People can see how easy it is to get along with homeschooled kids.
F．For these families, homeschooling helps a child build a life that works.
G．The combination of two kinds of schooling has a great effect on a child.

Try to be flexible. Often we have difficulty learning to “go with the flow”. Fixed beliefs, expectations, and
habits are some of the things that lead us to resist change. But when the house you thought you’d live in forever is
destroyed in a fire or hurricane, or the job you had trained for has been automated, what do you do? It can be

has had to evolve in different ways to deal with these changes, and here, model Victoria Lee Robinson walks us
through these changes.
Firstly, people want to connect with their favourite fashion brands much more than they did in the past. 47
Brands need to connect with potential buyers to show them their new styles and designs and take part in pop culture
to remain relevant, “Maintaining the image of a brand through digital campaigns is no easy task,” said Robinson.
In addition, fashion designers and brands are able to monitor interests in their new designs in real time by
using social media. 48 However, sometimes it can also be discouraging. “You could spend hundreds of
hours designing a fashion line, but it could get canceled just like that if it doesn’t get enough attention online. It

We interviewed students and professors to get their advice about online courses, The most obvious advantage
of online learning is that you can study anywhere and anytime. 38 “I think a point that many people lose
sight of is how easy it can be to fall behind schedule,” says graduate student Amanda Bindman. Before choosing to
study online, consider whether you’re a self-motivated learner and if the material seems interesting enough to keep
you going.
The tip that comes up most often is simple: build online courses into your weekly schedule, just like what you
would do with in person courses. 39 He noted that his online students usually end up with lower grades. It
is so easy to let an online course slide, but your grades will suffer as a result. Be sure to schedule set times to watch
your lectures, read materials and contribute to online discussion boards.
40 A social connection is often a big part of learning. There are things you can do to ease this
problem. Jessica Pink, an undergraduate student, suggests taking online courses with a friend, so you can motivate
each other to stay on track. You can also find students on the class discussion board to organize a study group, or
schedule in-person meeting s with your professor to discuss course concepts.
A. But that doesn’t mean there aren’t deadlines.B. Your motivation should be your main concern.
C. Do you know that online courses are also part of your education?

Fitness Magazine recently ran an article titled “Five Reasons to Thank Your Workout Partner.” One reason
was: “You’ll actually show up if you know someone is waiting for you at the gym, ” while another read: “ 36
” With a workout partner, you will increase your training effort as there is a subtle (微妙) competition.
So, how do you find a workout partner?
First of all, decide what you want from that person. 37 Or do you just want to be physically fit, able
to move with strength and flexibility? Think about the exercises you would like to do with your workout partner.
You might think about posting what you are looking for on social media, but it probably won’t result in a
useful response. 38 If you plan on working out in a gym, that person must belong to the same gym.
My partner posted her request on the notice board of a local park. Her notice included what kind of training
she wanted to do, how many days a week and how many hours she wanted to spend on each session, and her age. It
also listed her favorite sports and activities, and provided her phone number. 39
You and your partner will probably have different skills. 40 Over time, both of you will benefit —
your partner will be able to lift more weights and you will become more physically fit. The core (核心) of your
relationship is that you will always be there to help each other.
A. Your first meeting may be a little awkward.
B. A workout partner usually needs to live close by.
C. You’ll work harder if you train with someone else.
D. Do you want to be a better athlete in your favorite sport?
E. How can you write a good “seeking training partner” notice?
F. Just accept your differences and learn to work with each other.

Writing an essay is a difficult process for most people. However, the process can be made easier if you learn to
practice three simple techniques.
36 When you are first trying to think of ideas for an essay, put your pen to your paper and write
nonstop for ten or fifteen minutes without letting your pen leave the paper. Stay loose and free. 37 Don’t
worry about grammar or spelling. Even though this technique won’t work for everyone, it helps many people get a
good store of ideas to draw on.
The next technique is to write your draft rapidly without worrying about being perfect. 38 Yet, by
learning to live with imperfection, you will save yourself headaches and a wastepaper basket full of crumpled (弄
皱) paper. Think of your first draft as a path cut out of the jungle—as part of an exploration, not as a completehighway.
The third technique is to try printing out a triple—spaced (三倍行距) copy to allow space for revision. 39
As a result, these writers never get in the habit of crossing out chunks (大块) of their draft and writing revisions in
the blank space. After you have revised your draft until it is too messy to work from anymore, you can enter your
changes into your word processor. 40 The resulting blank space invites you to revise.
A. Make sure your handwriting is neat.
B. Let your pen follow the waves of thought.
C. The second draft of the essay should be better.
D. First of all, learn the technique of nonstop writing.
E. Too many writers try to get their drafts right the first time.
F. Many beginning writers don’t leave enough space to revise.
G. Then you can print out a fresh draft, again setting your text on triple-space.

Swap, Don’t shop!
You keep hearing about recycling, right? But it doesn't end with bottles, cans, and paper. Clothing takes a huge
amount of natural resources（资源）to make, and buying loads of new clothing (or throwing out old clothing) is
not healthy for the environment. So what to do with all those perfectly-good-but-you're-maybe-a-little-sick-of-them
clothes piled on your bedroom floor? 16 . It's the best way to get rid of your used clothes, score clothes from
your friends, and have a party all at the same time.
A successful swap depends on the selection of clothes, the organization of the event, and, obviously, how
much fun is had. It's really easy to do! Here are a few pointers.
●Invite 5—10 people so you have a nice selection. 17 , and there may not be enough things to choose
from; more than that, and it becomes uncontrollable.
● 18 . They should also prepare plenty of reusable bags to carry their "new" clothes home.
●Put different types of clothing on different surfaces in the room. 19 . Place a few mirrors around your
room so people can see how things look when they try them on. One of the ground rules of the swap should be that
everyone must try on the clothes before they take them—things always look different when you put them on.
●Set a starting time. Maybe you say “go,” or turn on a certain song, or whatever. 20 . And don't forget to
put out some cookies and fruits. Remember, it's a party!
A. Less people than that
B. Hold a clothing swap
C. If two people are competing
D. Just keep music playing throughout
E. Donate whatever clothes are left over

According to Jessica Hagy, author of How to Be Interesting, it’s not difficult to make yourself interesting at a
dinner party.
36 , if you’re out of your comfort zone or if you’re wandering into somebody’s house for the first time. So
the main thing is just to show up and be adventurous, trying different foods and talking to strangers.
People love to talk about themselves. If you can start the conversation with a question other than “What do
you do for a living?”, you’ll be able to get a lot more interesting conversation out of whomever it is you’re talking
to. 37 , it can bring in “I have this old, broken-down vehicle” or “I rode the bus with these crazy people whowere laughing at silly jokes in the back.” It just opens up conversation.
38 ? If you can’t take their wine away, you should certainly try to take away their soapbox (讲台). If
you’re the host, you can ask them to help you in the kitchen with something and just remove them from the
situation. 39 .
And what about that other dinner-party killer: awkward silence? If you’re faced with an awkward silence at a
dinner party, the only thing that always gets everyone talking again is to give the host a compliment(赞扬). 40 .
Just quickly turn around and say, “This cake is extremely delicious and you have to tell me all about it.”
So being interesting at a dinner party isn’t that hard.
A. How do you know the host

C. If you ask the question “How did you get here?”

You’ve got mail…and it’s a postcard
Paulo Magalhaes, a 34-year-old Portuguese computer engineer, loves to open his mailbox and find a brightly
colored picture of Rome’s Colosseum. Or Africa’s Victoria Falls. Or China’s Great Wall. 31
"I often send postcards to family and friends." he says to China Daily, "but you can imagine that after a while,
you never receive as many as you send, and you realize that not everyone is into it 32 ” Seeking other like-
minded souls, however, Paulo started looking in a somewhat unlikely place: online. Many would say the Internet is
a place for people who have given up on the traditional postal service, but Paulo’s hunch（直觉）paid off.
Today his hobby has developed into the website postcrossing.com, a social network that has grown to 575,217
registered users in 214 countries and regions since he started it 10 years ago. 33 Running the website has
almost turned into a full-time job.
Language is certainly a barrier for many people. For postcrossing to work worldwide, a common
communication language is needed so that everyone can understand each other. As cool as it may be to receive a
postcard written in Chinese, the concept doesn’t work if one doesn’t understand it. 34 So a common language
is required and in postcrossing that’s English since it’s widely spoken.
"Many people in China have limited exposure to English. 35 That said, we know of many postcrossing
members, including Chinese, who have actually improved their English skills through their use of postcrossing,"
Paulo says.
A. And that’s totally fine.
B. That makes it extra hard to learn and practice it.
C. He likes to think of sending postcards as a family-friendly hobby.
D. Many love to make a connection with someone from across the world.
E. On August 5, the number of postcards exchanged by members topped 31 million.F. Similarly, if you speak only Chinese, receiving a card in Swedish takes part of the fun away.
G. In short, he loves postcards, and the excitement of getting a hand-written note from someone far away.
