Whenever the house gets quiet, Mrs. Smith knows just where to find her 6-year-old daughter Maria: lost in the world of stories. “I like to read every time of the day,” said Maria, a student at Creel Elementary School in Australia. Maria’s headmaster, Mrs. White, wants each of her 850 students and their families to learn the love of reading this year. She wants reading at home to become an activity of choice in every family, even during holiday breaks. “I truly realize reading should be an important part of everyone’s life, and nothing should stop it.” said Mrs. White. “The aim we want most of all is to help children understand they can enjoy reading, as well as practice their skills,” said Hannas, an education researcher. He suggested parents take their children to the library and allow them to pick out books that interest them. Each night, students take home two books to read with their parents or other family members. They have to return the books the next day with a signed note from their parents showing that the books were read, and have passing tests that check how well they understand the books. “We’re trying to get parents into the habit of reading with their kids.” said the headmaster. “Nothing is better than sitting on a sofa with your child and reading and laughing.” Through books, Mrs. Smith, a parent, said she’s able to give her two daughters more experiences than she could. “I think reading opens all the doors and creates imaginations in children,” she said, “I think if you read well, you can succeed in anything in life.” 小题1:The aim of the at-home-reading activity is to __________.A.show the parents how important reading is | B.ask each of the students to learn from Maria | C.let parents care about their children | D.help the students and their families enjoy reading | 小题2:To make sure how well the students understand the books, the school has to ________.A.give the students tests | B.ask their parents to write a note | C.return the books the next day | D.check how many books they have read | 小题3:From the article, we know that the at-home-reading activity __________.A.can bring everything we want | B.has influenced the students at Creel Elementary School | C.helps family members understand each other better | D.makes parents understand school better |

The most important holiday in spring, especially for Christians, is Easter. This Christian holiday is not on the same date every year,but it’s always on a Sunday. It can be any Sunday between March 22 and April 25. Many people celebrate Easter by buying new clothes. Children celebrate by hunting for colored eggs that their parents have hidden around the house. People also give Easter baskets filled with candy and other goodies to one another to celebrate the day. But the holiday is more than new clothes and good things to eat. On Easter, many people go to church to celebrate Jesus’ resurrection(复活)from the dead. Most people color Ester eggs. Some people hide them. Others just eat them.
