26、 When your baby get older, you’re faced with the most challenging problem of all: How to get him or her best education you can.
“There was a time when you could enroll your child in kindergarten and about 13 years sit on one of those folding chairs and touch your eyes as they graduated from high school,” Peg Tyre says.
These days the difficult decision of where to send your kid to school starts early.You have to choose a school when your child might only be three or four years old.When you go on a school tour, Tyre says, don’t judge the place just by the finger paintings decorating the hallways.
“You want to look at the relationship between teacher and student,” she says.”What you want to see is teachers who have a lot of respect for kids, who seem to know their strengths and weaknesses.”
There’s a myth Tyre wants to say that has to end that all teachers are good teachers and can be moved around from classroom to classroom like bricks.
“That’s just not true,” she says.”One of the things I would say is a teacher who is in their first year is not a wonderful sign for an effective teacher for your child.They tend to be kind, they have a lot of energy, but they are not that effective in that first year.” So what do you do if your child is placed in a classroom with an inexperienced teacher? Don’t march straight to the principal’s office and demand a change, Tyre says.
“You can go to the principal and you can ask this question: What are you doing to support that teacher this year so that my child moves forward this year and is not just a guinea pig (实验对象) for your firstyear teacher?”
Many parents know when they tour a school to ask about class size.But Tyre says the research doesn’t suggest that a smaller class size is a must.”When you look at the really research on class size, class size is very important from kindergarten to third grade ...After third grade there’s less of an effect on academic result.” she says.
【1】We can infer from the second paragraph that in the past ________.
A.a child had to learn at the same school for 13 years
B.parents would cry at their children’s graduation from school
C.folding chairs were required for children to sit on
D.it was easy to get the best education for a child at school
【2】To choose a school for your kid,you should ________.
A.judge whether teachers respect your kid
B.decide what strengths and weaknesses your kid has
C.see how finger paintings decorate the hallways
D.consider whether the teachers have their own kids
【3】What statement may Tyre agree to?
A.A new teacher can be energetic and effective.
B.It is wonderful for a kid to have a firstyear teacher.
C.A new teacher can teach students of different levels.
D.All teachers aren’t good teachers in fact.
【4】What was Tyre’s attitude towards class size?
A.She was strongly against it. B.She felt it wasn’t worth consideration.
C.She thought it was most important. D.She insisted on taking it seriously.
27、 The World Health Organization(WHO)says it is possible to defeat the disease malaria (疟疾),although that is not likely to happen with the current methods.
Pedro Alonso, directing the United Nations agency's global malaria program, says the WHO wants to eradicate(根除)the disease but “with the tools we have today, it is most unlikely that the goal will be achieved.”
Malaria infected around 219 million people in 2017, when about 435,000 people died from the disease. The large majority were babies and children in the poorest areas of Africa. These totals little changed from 2016.But the numbers are smaller than the 239 million infections and 607,000 deaths reported in 2010.Diallo is head of the RBM Partnership to End Malaria. The group released a statement from him on the WHO report, saying, “Today, there are more countries without malaria than with it, and more countries than ever have fewer than 10,000 malaria cases.”
WHO officials have long wanted to destroy malaria. The United Nations agency first attempted a campaign against the disease in 1955.Now, the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation is providing financial support for the latest efforts.
There are a number of drugs available to successfully treat malaria. Sleeping under chemically-treated bed nets has proven to be effective in order to control malaria-carrying mosquitoes and infections. The drug company GSK has also developed a vaccine that has proven partially effective against malaria. The vaccine is currently used in Ghana and Malawi. But the WHO's report says these tools will not be enough to end the threat from malaria altogether. It calls for research and development of“transformative tools and knowledge” to control mosquitoes and create more effective medicines to prevent and treat the disease.
【1】How many people suffered from malaria in 2016?
A.Around 219 million people. B.About 435,000 people.

【2】What can be inferred from paragraph 3?
A.Diallo feels worried about how to defeat malaria.
B.Malaria is a common disease in many countries.
C.WHO is in great need of financial support nowadays actually.
D.Humans have made great achievement in fighting with malaria.
【3】What can we know about the vaccine from GSK in the opinion of the WHO?
A.It can help effectively cure malaria.
B.It needs to be further developed.

【4】Which of the following is the best title for the passage?
A.Possible to Defeat Malaria, But Probably Not Soon
B.Drug Company GSK Determines to Defeat Malaria
C.Malaria Control the Earth Long, But is to Disappear
D.Transformative Tools and Knowledge on the Way

If you are a beginner, try following these steps:
1. Walk slowly for 30 minutes.
2.Add short running sessions(一段时间)into your 30-minute walk.
3. Try a 30-minute run when you feel ready, but never become so breathless that you could not carry on a conversation.
You will soon discover benefits from running that you will not want to give up. You will feel more relaxed and focused. Your concentration will improve and you will find that, even though you are taking 30-minute running each day from your busy schedule, you will get more done.

29、 I was standing in a class of wild 14-year-old girls as they threw paper and howl with laughter. They wouldn’t listen to me. І was 22 and І never wanted to teach. І wanted to be a writer. When the bell finally rang, I rushed out of the classroom, red with anger. The other teachers weren't surprised. “That's 4B, the worst class in school,” one said.
But I couldn't give up. I needed the job. So, I abandoned formal lessons. Instead, I brought topics for class discussion. One of the liveliest talks was about the arguments they had with their parents. They paid attention and shared about their lives. Then I encouraged them to write down their stories. Most wrote about families with little money and big problems. As time went on, their stories became a bridge between us. I admired their humor, toughness and insight, and I think they appreciated my interest in their lives.
The musical My Fair Lady was playing in the West End, but they had never seen a live stage performance. I suggested taking them to see it. They thought I was joking. No teacher had ever done that. A few weeks later, 4B and I were sitting in the theater. They loved the music, the costumes and the characters. It was the highlight of their year, and they talked about it for days.
Near the end of the semester, someone knocked on the door of the staff room. The two most rebellious(叛逆的) girls in 4B were there—with flowers.
Several years later, for the first time in my life, I stopped dreaming and started writing. My first story was titled "My Fair Ladies". Teaching wasn't the end of my writing career; it was the beginning.
【1】How was the author's class in 4B at the beginning?
A.It was impressive. B.It was rather boring.
C.It was a total mess. D.It was lively and interesting.
【2】What happened to the girls after they were encouraged to tell and write their stories?
A.They came to like the author. B.They made great progress in writing.
C.They became more humorous. D.They stopped arguing with their parents.
【3】How did the students feel about the experience to the theatre?
A.Confused. B.Excited. C.Proud. D.Encouraged.
【4】What can we infer from the last two paragraphs?
A.Only two girls liked the author.
B.The author became a famous writer several years later.
C.The author didn't dream any more.
D.The author's teaching experiences inspired her writing.
