| On the whole, it's not something we parents shout about, but one in four of us does it. Hiring private tutors (指导教师) for our children is now widespread. And this year, as always, the Easter holidays will be peak time (高峰期) for tutor demand. "My husband and I tried to tutor her at home, but we found all our knowledge was out of date. We also tried a group revision course but all the children were sitting exams for different boards (入 学考试). On the whole, we think onetoone tuition works best and it is worth the money," says Ashan Sabri from London, whose daughter Zarren, 18, is having tuition in biology in preparation for Alevels this summer. The real question is: does tutoring do any good? "It's not the magic bullet," says educator Judith Ireson. "It's still up to the child to do the learning. If he or she isn't interested, then sending them to a private tutor won't do any good." In this case, it's time to break open the Champagne (香槟酒)? "Not necessarily," says Elaine Tyrrell, head of a private school. "While we recommend private tutoring for children whose first language isn't English, we don't encourage it for the others," says Tyrrell. "With the level of education they get here, children really ought to be able to pass the entrance exams. Besides, our biggest worry is that they might just get in with the help of lastminute tutoring, but once they get to that school, they won't be able to manage." It's a point really worth considering. After all, who would want his child to stay at the bottom of the class? |
| 1. The passage is most probably written by ________. |
| A. a parent B. a student C. a famous educator D. a headmaster of a private school |
| 2. In Ashan Sabri's opinion, which method is most suitable for her daughter? |
| A. Teaching her at home by herself. B. Taking different kinds of exams. C. Taking part in group revision courses. D. Hiring a private tutor to help her. |
| 3. Elaine Tyrrell doesn't encourage parents to hire private tutors for their children mainly because ________. |
| A. children may not have the real ability to deal with their further studies B. the education that children receive in class is enough for them C. the quality of private tutoring may be poor D. children may be misled by private tutors |
| 4. What attitude does the author hold towards home tutoring? |
| A. Supportive. B. Critical. C. Uninterested. D. Uncertain. |

| Do you ever find yourself getting really angry for almost no reason? Or suddenly feeling down without knowing why? Going from sadness to anger to joy in a matter of minutes can make many teens feel as though they're losing their control. But why is the feeling of being on an emotional roller coaster (急转突变) so common among teens? Dealing with constant change and pressure is part of the answer. Maybe you're starting a new school and not able to see old friends as much. Getting good grades or wanting to be better in sports or other activities can be a concern for many teens. It might feel as though there just isn't enough time to do everything. Being a teen means struggling with identity and selfimage. Being accepted by friends feels extremely important. Teens also may notice, for the first time, a sense of distance from parents and family. You may feel you want to be on your own and make your own decisions, but it can also seem overwhelming (压倒的) and even a bit lonely at times. As fun and exciting as this time is, it also can be a time of confusion and conflict. Another important cause for mood swings is biology. When puberty (青春期) begins, the body starts producing sex hormones. These hormones cause physical changes in the body. But in some people, they also seem to cause emotional changes-the ups and downs that sometimes feel out of control. Feeling irritable or shorttempered can be signs of depression. So can feelings of boredom or hopelessness. Many people think of depression as feeling sad, but depression can also bring feelings of moodiness, impatience, anger. When depression gets in the way of enjoying life or dealing with others, that's a sign you need to do something about it, like talking to a counselor or therapist (治疗 专家) who can help you deal with it. Here are some things you can do that might make those bad moods a bit easier to handle: recognize you're not alone, catch your breath, count to 10, talk to people you trust, exercise, cry or wait. |
| 1. From the passage, we can infer that the teens' emotional changes are ________. |
| A. abnormal B. reasonable C. predictable D. natural |
| 2. How many reasons does the author refer to in the passage for children's emotional changes? |
| A. Two. B. Three. C. Four. D. Five. |
| 3. What does the passage mainly talk about? |
| A. Why people are in bad mood. B. What the result of depression is. C. Bad mood can cause bad effects. D. It's important to be dependent. |
| 4. What does the underlined word "irritable" in the fifth paragraph mean? |
| A. Upset. B. Angry. C. Unhappy. D. Impatient. |
