A．instrumental supportB．informational supportC．social companionshipD．the strengthening of selfrespect25．What is the subject discussed in the text?A．Effects of stressful conditions.B．Kinds of social support.C．Ways to deal with stress.D．Interpersonal relationships.To most of us，school means classes，teachers，schedules，grades，and tests.But for the children at Sudbury Valley School in Massachusetts，school is very different.Firstly，there are no lessons.All the children，aged between 4 and 19，do whatever they want.There are no teachers—only “staff members”．The idea behind this is that you do not need to make children learn，because children want to learn anyway.“You do not need to say to a three yearold，‘Go explore your environment.'You can't stop them！”says Daniel Greenberg，a founder of the school.“But if you make children do what you want all day，they will lose all taste for learning.”At Sudbury Valley School，you will permit children to talk，read，paint，cook，work on computers，study French，play the piano，climb trees or just run around.Two boys spent three years just fishing!The other way that Sudbury Valley School is different is that the children can decide the rules.Every week，there is a school meeting where both children and staff have one vote each—even the fouryearolds.They decide the school rules，how to spend the school budget，and even which staff they want and do not want any more.When the school first opened in 1968，people said it would never work.But today，the school has 200 students，and 80%of its students go on to college. Even the two boys who went fishing all the time have successful careers today.One of them is a musician and theother is a computer scientist.26．What is the main topic of the article?A．An unusual school. B．Children's hobbies.C．A school without rules. D．Education in the US.27．What does the school believe?A．Teachers cannot teach children Well.B. Children learn best when they do what th ey want to do.C．Learning is for adults—children should only play.D．Children should only learn about one thing at a time.28．What does Daniel Greenberg say about threeyearolds?A. They love learning.B．They are very naughty.C．They want to be outside all the time.D．They are too young to learn anything.29．Who has the most power in the school meetings?A．The older children have more power than the younger children.B．A child has more power than an adult.C．The younger children have more power than the older children.D．Everybody has equal power.To be punctual is important for us because people rather expect us to be on time for app ointments. But it seems not easy to be on time every time. Here are some usefulmethods to help you be punctual.Plan your route.

Get your clothes ready. Set the breakfast table. Make your lunch if you need to take it.Make a time table. You need to make a time table if you have lots of things to do in a day.

You also need to estimate(估计) how long it takes.Give yourself a gift of being early.If you plan to get to your destination 15 minutes early, you’ll probably never be late again.

But some children don’t like to complete the work. Why? There are some reasons. Some children fe el it is very difficult to do their homework, because they can’t understand their teacher clearly, and can’t follow their teacher’s teaching process. Maybe there is something wrong with their intelligence.But some children’s intelligence is normal. They are even cleverer, but they don’t listen to the teacher carefully. It is hard for them to sit well and pay attention to anything.
