Home Schooling Home schooling is an education system which provides child’s main education programme at home. Home schooling takes the place of full-time school attendance and, in the United States and Canada, it usually meets state requirements for compulsory education. Although home schooling could achieve the objectives of compulsory education, there are some points that should be noticed from the home schooling. First, the idea of taking our children’s education on home schooling can be a bit intimidating. Since our country is so large and the people are from so many different kinds of backgrounds, students need some kind of social glue to make them stick together and to give them a sense of unity in spite of all the differences. They will not get such a unity when they are in home schooling. They will get the sense of unity when they are in the compulsory public schools since (it) is the easiest and best places to make this glue. Then, the home schooling may not be able to prepare children to fit into the mass society, which means, among other things, believing what most people believe and liking what most people like. Or it may not be able to help children to find a set of values with which they could resist and reject at least many of the values of the mass society. Recognizing the lack of home schooling in the case of children’s socialization opportunity, we should afford them abundant social opportunities. We can have active home school support groups. We can hold ongoing park days, meetings at the zoo, the science museum, book clubs, history clubs, language clubs, home school scouting troops and many more options to provide them opportunities to socialize with others.

In the US and in Great Britain

harmful consequences to the drug addict and those around them. Drug addiction is a brain disease because the abuse of drugs leads to changes in the structure and function of the brain. Although it is true that for most people the initial decision to take drugs is voluntary, over time the changes in the brain caused by repeated drug abuse can impair a person's self-control and ability to make sound decisions, and at the same time create an intense impulse to take drugs. Long-term drug abuse causes changes in other brain chemical systems and circuits, as well. Brain imaging studies of drug- addicted individuals show changes in areas of the brain that are critical to judgment, decision-making, learning and memory, and behavior control. Together, these changes can drive an abuser to seek out and take drugs compulsively -- in other words, to become addicted to drugs. While these brain changes can powerfully influence behavior and the impulse to use drugs, people in the midst of an addiction do not completely lose their ability to exercise judgment and make decisions; their desire to stop using drugs and pursue treatment hinges on the wish to live sober. As with many chronic, relapsing disorders, recovery then becomes an active lifelong process. Drug addiction can be a preventable disease. Research has shown that prevention programs that involve the family, schools, communities, and the media are effective in reducing drug abuse. Although many events and cultural factors affect drug abuse trends, when youths perceive drug abuse as harmful, they reduce their arug taking. It is necessary, therefore, to help youth and the general public to understand the risks of drug abuse and for teachers, parents, and health care professionals to keep sending the message that drug addiction can be prevented if a person never abuses drugs. 41. How can we compare the 2nd and the 3rd paragraphs? A. Both paragraphs tell about the brain damage caused by drug addiction. B. While the 2nd paragraph tells about changes in other brain chemical systems, the 3rd one tells about the prevention. C. Both paragraphs tell how to get rid of drug addiction D. The 2nd paragraph tells about the damage in other brain chemical systems, the3rd one tells about rehabilitation of the users. E. Both paragraphs tell about the ways how to prevent drug addiction. 42. "...when youths perceive drug abuse as harmful, they reduce their drug taking." (Paragraph 3) What is the closest meaning of the underlined word? A. Perform B. Recognize C. Show D. Resists E. Discuss

The Empty Pot Once upon a time, an emperor needed to select a successor to his throne. The emperor was old and had no children. Because he loved flowers and plants, he decided to call the children in the kingdom and gave cach a seed. He said that the child who could show the best results within six months would win the contest and she/he would become the next to wear the crown. Every child in the kingdom wanted to win the competition. There was a huge crowd of children in the palace on the day when the emperor gave the seeds. Each child returned home with one seed. One of the children was Jhrunk. He was a good gardener, even people said that he was the best young gardener in his village. He carefully carried the emperor's seed, and when he got home he put it into a pot and tried to plant it properly. One week later, Jhronk-another child-an-nounced that his seed was sprouting through the soil. Jhranky was a girl who said that a tiny plant had emerged from her pot. Then many other kids into a tiny plant. Jhrunk was puzzled-none of these said the same that the seed had changed the form children could grow plants as well as him! But Jhrunk's seed did not grow. Jhrunk was confused-what was wrong? He carefully repotted his seed into a new pot. He changed the method, but still his seed did not grow. Six months passed. The children had to bring their plants to the palace. Jhronk, Jhranky and other children cleaned their pots. Then they prepared themselves by dressing in their finest clothes. Some mothers or fathers walked along side their children to hold the plants. "What will I do?', Jhrunk asked his parents. "My seed wouldn't grow. My pot is empty. You did the best you could do,' said his father. Thrunk, just bring your pot to the emperor," said his mother, 'and tell the real thing. It was the best you could do. Jhrunk carried his empty pot to the palace. He felt a shame, but he agreed to what his parents said. It was the best thing he could do. He had tried his best. At the palace, all the children lined up in rows. They brought their blossoming plants. Then the em-peror checked the plants one by one. When he came to Jhrunk, he scowled even more and said, "What is it? You brought me an empty pot? If you are pleased, Your Majesty,' said Jhrunk, 'I tried the best. I planted your seed with the best soil. I kept and I watched it everyday. When the seed didn't grow, I repotted it in a new soil. I even repotted it again. But it didn't grow. I'm sorry, Jhrunk hang his head. Hmm,' said the emperor. 'I should choose you as my successor.' He continued. Everybody was sur-prised. But then the emperor said, 'I don't know where all these children got their seed. There is no way anything could grow the seed I gave for the contest. I had boiled all the seeds. And he smiled at Jhrunk and said, "You are the only child honest enough to return with an empty pot. Who participated in the compitition?
