A
As everyone knows, the law in most countries nowadays demands that all children receive an education. However, did you know that a number of parents make special arrangements to educate their children at home? This happens mainly in cases where the child has serious health problems or learning difficulties, or is especially gifted.
Whatever the reason, there are certainly some advantages to educating children at home. First, they can learn at their own speed, spending more time on the subjects which they find difficult. What is more, it is easier for them to concentrate since they don’t have the distraction of noisy classmates. Finally, they learn more in a one-to-one situation, as they get the full attention of the teacher.
On the other hand, learning at home is not without major drawbacks. For one thing, children who do not go to school lack experience at making friends with other children. As a result, they do not learn the social skills needed in later life. Moreover, they are less motivated to work hard, because they have no one to compare their progress with and to compete against.
All things considered, I firmly believe children should go to school. Education is not only a matter of learning facts and figures-children also need to learn how to get along with others, and to develop their personalities. I feel they can only do this by mixing with other children in a school environment. 21. What does the law in most countries demand?
A. All parents mustn’t educate their children at home. B. All parents should be well educated.
C. Children should all be given an education. D. Most children must be taught at school.
22. Many parents decide to educate their children at home _____. A. when kids wouldn’t like to go to school. B. when the parents are learned and rich. C. when it’s easy for kids to learn.
D. if kids are unhealthy or especially gifted. 23. Which of the following is true?
A. Learning at school is better for a child than learning at home. B. Parents prefer home education to school educaton, C. Education only means learning facts and figures.
D. Children can get better results at school than those at home.
B
If you’re shopping around for a new laptop to start the year off right, consider one of these following picks for budget-conscious students.
For Chatty Cathys
Sony’s 15.5’’ VAIO E Series laptop ($399.99) has a second-generation Intel
Core i3-2370M processor, 4GB of system memory （RAM）and 500 GB hard drive. Built into the machine is an HD webcam to make it easy to video chat with family and friends. And while the camera has a microphone, integrated Bluetooth means you can also wear a headset for even clearer audio. This Windows 7 Home Premium laptop also includes a DVD burner, ACID Music Studio and more.
Math blaster
Students studying math or statistics or business might appreciate a laptop with a dedicated numeric keypad along the right-hand side of the keyboard. That’s what you’ll find in Toshiba’s satin black 15.6-inch Satellite laptop ($399.99). You’ll also find one USB 3.0 and 2 USB 2.0 ports. This entry-level PC has a second-gen Intel Core i3-2370M, 4GB of system memory and 500GB hard drive.
Personalize that PC
If you’ve got a bit more cash to spend, the newest Dell Inspiron 15R ($499.99) delivers a lot of bang for the buck. You get 6GB of system memory, 500GB hard drive. But students might also like the option to change up its look. While the laptop comes standard in silver, you can personalize it with additional lids for $30 a piece (e.g. red, blue or pink). Other highlights include Bluetooth.
Bigger is better
Especially if it’s going to be used primarily as a desktop replacement, a larger screen laptop is the way to go. For $449.99 you can pick up a 17.3-inch HP Pavilion laptop, with a good-looking LED-backlit high-definition widescreen display (1600*900 resolution) ideal for movies, games and photos.

Black Friday- the day after Thanksgiving in the United States-signals the
beginning of the holiday shopping season. Although it’s not an official holiday, millions of employers give their employees the day off, and many people use that day to get a jump-start on their holiday shopping. A similar day in Canada and Great Britain is called “Boxing Day”.
Black Friday has become somewhat of a marketing sensation in recent years. Since 2005, it has been the busiest shopping day of the year. To lure shoppers, retailers(零售商) routinely open their doors as early as 4 am and offers special sales and promotions to the shoppers that arrive early. Some of the special deals offered by stores are only available in limited quantities. That is why some shoppers intent on getting the best deals often camp out in front of stores overnight so that they’ll be the first in line when the doors open.
But why Black Friday? Historians believe the name started in Philadelphia in the mid-1960s. Bus drivers and police used “Black Friday” to describe the heavy traffic that clog city streets the day after Thanksgiving as shoppers headed to the stores.
Business, however, didn’t like the negative tone associated with the Black Friday name. In the early 1980s, a more positive explanation of the name began to circulate. According to this alternative explanation, Black Friday is the day when retailers finally begin to turn a profit for the year. In accounting terms, operating at a loss is called being “in the red” because accountants traditionally used red ink to show negative amounts. Positive amounts were usually shown in black ink. Thus, being “in the black” is a good thing because it means stores are operating at a profit.
Recently, for those who are too busy to shop on Black Friday-or who just don’t want to fight the crowds-the Monday following Black Friday has become known as Cybe Monday for the many online deals that shoppers can take advantage of from the comfort of their homes.
28. On Black Friday, the Americans______.
A. don’t have to go to work as usual B. look exactly like the Canadians C. are usually busing doing shopping D. star at home and relax themselves 29. The underlined word “lure” (in paragraph2) probably means______. A. attract B. protect C. persuade D. remind 30. Who probably don’t like Black Friday?
A. The bus businessman. B. The bus driver. C. The historians. D. The customers. 31. The author writes this passage in order to _____. A. state the development of Cyber Monday. B. tell the difference between red and black. C. introduce Black Friday to readers. D. explain the meaning of Boxing Day.
