the Harris Interactive poll conducted in the United States between Jan.29 and Feb.2 among 2,003 adults.
The r
andom national telephone survey released this week by the Federal Waybased charity World Visionfound that more teens volunteer to support a charitable (慈善的) cause-56 percent-than have a parttime
job-39 percent.
Parents and guardians said 82 percent of the teens in their lives do something to support charitable
causes, including volunteering, recruiting others to a cause, wearing a Tshirt or donating money
.Fortysixpercent of the adults surveyed said they volunteered their time and they also inspired their children to
volunteer.
Sara Johnson, a teacher who advises students at a private school in a Chicago suburb, says she"s seen a
rise of teen involvement in social causes since President Barack Obama was elected in November.
The Harris Interactive survey found a quarter of teens have become more involved in charitable
causes or organizations as a result of the economic downturn, but the economy has also led to cuts in
allowances, and has teens work more hours at a paying job.
Alynn Woodson, director of volunteer engagement at Habitat for Humanity International, said she has
noticed a new enthusiasm among teen volunteers for the organization.
Habitat for Humanity International celebrates the 20th anniversary of its alternative spring break
program this year and is expecting more than 12,000 young people to help build homes for lowincome

than in the classroom.Therefore the great influence of parents can"t be ignored or discounted by the
teacher.They can become strong supports of the school or they can consciously or unconsciously prevent
the school from accomplishing its aims.
Administrators have been aware of the need to keep_parents_apprised_of the newer methods used in
schools.Many principals have conducted workshops explaining such matters as the reading readiness
program and developmental math.
Moreover, the classroom teacher can also play an important role in explaining to parents what they
should do.The informal tea and many interviews carried on during the year, as well as new ways of
reporting pupils" progress, can significantly aid the interchange of ideas between school and home.
Suppose that a father has been drilling Junior in arithmetic processes night after night. In a friendly
interview, the teacher can help the parent change his method.He might be pe
rsuaded to let Juniorparticipate in discussing the family budget, buying the food, using a measuring cup at home, setting the
clock, calculating mileage on a trip and engage in scores of other activities that have a mathematical basis.
If the father follows the advice, it is reasonable to assume that he will soon realize his son is making
satisfactory progress in math and at the same time, enjoying the
work.Too often, however, teachers" conferences with parents are devoted to unimportant accounts of
children" s wrongdoing, complaints about laziness and poor work habits, and suggestions for punishments
and rewards at home.
What is neede
d is a more creative approach in which the teacher, as a professional advisor, plants ideas in parents"minds for the best use of the many hours that the child spends out of the classroom.In
this way, the school and the home join forces in fostering the fullest development of youngsters"competence.
1. The underlined phrase"keep parents
apprised of"in Para.2 probably means to let parents________.A. judge
B. know
C. design
D. develop
2. What is the purpose of the schools" informal tea and interviews?
A. To improve the relationship between teachers and parents.
B. To explain to parents the change of the school curriculum.
C. To report students" misdoings and suggestions for punishments.
D. To help develop good communication between school and home.
3. Why does the author provide the example in Paragraph 4?
A. To help parents know the importance of home activities.
B. To show how the teacher can guide in home training.
C. To prove parents are nonprofessional advisors.
D. To advice parents to teach kids math at home.
4. From the passage we learn that the author________.
A. thinks teachers should do better as professionals
B. is worried about children" s performance at home
C. is satisfied with the present state of school education
D. believes time spent out of the classroom has been wasted
success in training children, the first condition is to become a child oneself.It means to treat the child as
really one"s equal, that is, to show him the same consideration, the same kind of confidence one shows to
an adult.It means not to affect the child to be what we ourselves want him to become, but to be affected
by the impression of what the child himself is; not to treat the child with cheating, or by force, but with the
seriousness and true love suitable to his own character.
Not leaving the child in peace is the greatest problem of present methods of training children.Parents
do not see that during the whole life, the need of peace is never greater than in the years of childhood, an
inner peace under all outside liveliness.
But what does a child experience?Corrections, orders, interference (干涉), the whole livelong day.
The child is always required to leave something alone, or to do something different, to find something
different, or to want something different from what he does, or finds, or wants.He is always guided in
another direction from the true inner will that is leading him.All of this is caused by our socalled enthusiasm
in directing, advising, and helping the child to become the same model produced in one assembly line (流水线). Understanding, the deepest characteristic of love, is almost always absent.
To bring up a child means carrying
one"s soul in one"s hand; it means never placing ourselves in danger of meeting the cold look on the face of the child.It means the truth that the ways of injuring the child are limitless while the ways of being useful to him are few.How seldom does the educator remember that the
child, even at four or five years of age, has already had a sharp feeling!The smallest mistrust and
unkindness, the
least act of injustice, leave wounds that last for life in the heart of the child.While, on the other hand, unexpected friendliness and kindness make quite as deep an impression on those soft senses.

B. current problems in training children
