When I was a kid, my Mom liked to make breakfast food for dinner every now and then. And I remember one night in particular when she had made breakfast after a long, hard day at hospital.

On that evening so long ago, my Mom placed a plate of eggs, sausage and extremely burned toast in front of my dad. I remember waiting to see if anyone noticed! Yet all my dad did was reach for his toast, smile at my Mom and ask me how my day was at school. I don't remember what I told him that night, but I do remember watching him spread butter and jelly on that toast and eat every bite!
 When I got up from the table that evening, I remember hearing my Mom apologize to my dad for burning the toast. And I'll never forget what he said: "Honey, I love burned toast."

Later that night, I went to kiss Daddy good night and I asked him if he really liked his toast burned. He took me in his arms and said, "Your Momma put in a hard day at work today and she's really tired. And besides – a little burned toast never hurt anyone!"

You know, life is full of imperfect things and imperfect people. What I’ve learned over the years is that learning to accept each other’s faults is one of the most important keys to creating a healthy, growing, and lasting relationship. This good quality is the base of any relationship --- husband-wife or parent-child or friendship! As far as I’m concerned, I’m not the best engineer as expected. However, I have made my efforts. That’s enough.

So learn to take the good, the bad, and the ugly parts of your life. Burnt toast isn’t a deal-breaker! Don’t put the key to your happiness in someone else’s pocket but into your own.

Believe it or not, going to school is not a legal(法定的) requirement in the United States. It

is a legal requirement that all kids be educated, though. When parents believe they can give their kids a better education--- or have other reasons for not wanting to send their kids to a local school --- they may choose home schooling.

However, if a kid hates school, home schooling is probably not the escape he is looking for. Home schooled students can learn just as much as they would in regular school if they and their parents work hard to cover all the subjects and experiences necessary. Parents who home school usually have higher levels of education than parents who do not. They already have the skills to educate themselves about teaching their kids.

Parents who home school have to be able to put the time and skill into not just teaching, but also researching lesson plans and resources(資源). So they have to know how to find the information necessary to teach their kids. State schools often provide home-schooling parents with a curriculum(課程), books and materials and places to meet. Some state schools will point parents to other resources for brushing up on forgotten subjects. Or parents may receive continuing education at local colleges or universities.

1.According to American law, _______________.

A. all kids shall go to school

B. all kids must receive education

C. home schooling parents shall receive continuing education

D. state schools must give support to home-schooling parents

2. According to the text, most home-schooling parents________________.

A. are short of money B. dislike schools

C. used to work as teachers D. are well-educated

3. Which of the following is NOT true about parents who home school?

A. They should have enough time.

B. They should have some skills in teaching.

C. They must receive special curriculums at the university.

D. They have to be able to know lesson plans and resources.

4. The underlined phrase “brushing up on” in the last paragraph can best be replaced by _____.

A. reviewing B. changing

C. choosing D. discussing

5. What can be inferred from the text?

A. Home schooled kids learn fewer.

B. Home schooled kids spend less time studying.

C. Being a home-schooling parent needs a lot of effort.

D. Home schooling will replaced school education.

E. Disturbance by someone’s screams in public places

1.

It’s something that most of us find annoying. We’re on our way home after a hard day at school and trying to have a quiet chat with a classmate or get in a little reading, when our peace is disturbed by someone screaming into their cell phone: “I’M ON THE BUS !”

2.

A survey published last week suggests Americans do not like the impolite use of today’s electronic communication gadgets. Besides noisy phone users, sending and receiving e-mails while in company are also as very poor manners, reports MSNBC.com.

3. _

One of the practices that participants in the survey most objected to was the use of phones, iPods and other devices during religious festivals. Some 90 per cent of those surveyed thought this was insensitive and disrespectful.

4. ___

The survey does suggest, according to MSNBC, that most Americans accepted that the technologies are a fact of modern life. They had nothing against the use of laptops and cell phones in bathrooms. And an electronic thank-you note was just as acceptable as a handwritten one.
