“It takes an entire village to raise a child.” That’s an old proverb that is being quoted more and more often these days.And I’m pleased about that.
Today，more and more schools are reaching out to involve parents，community members and businesses to help shape a child’s future.
Parents need to be involved in their children’s education in many ways.Helping children with homework and studying，going on a field trip，teaching a craft(手工艺)or coaching a child’s sports team are all great ways to be involved with your child’s education.And don’t forget to communicate with teachers—they need and respect your input.Studies show that children learn more and schools function better when parents and schools work together.It’s important to stay in touch with your child’s education all through his or her school career.
Communities can help children create and achieve new goals.Help with homework，read to a child，coach a children’s team，or provide emotional support.Help solve problems and build self-esteem(自尊心)．Kids need role models and advisers can be role models by sharing their experiences and wisdom.
Businesses can also help shape our children’s future.Invite a class from your local school to visit your workplace.You may be providing a glimpse that opens a new world of possibilities.Show students what goes on during a typical day.Give a mini course for students：how to use a computer；how products are made；how machinery works.You may have a developing electrician，teacher，nurse，or even a newspaper reporter on your hands.
It really does take an entire village to raise a child.So share the responsibility—and the joy—of bringing a child to his or her full potential.
1．The implied advice in the proverb “It takes an entire village to raise a child” is that
________.
A．All the people in a village should give food to a child
B．Schools，parents，and other organizations should share the responsibility of shaping a child’s future
C．Children should be brought up in the village where they were born D．Schools should be set up in the village where a child was raised
解析：句义推测题，解答此题切不可从字面上理解，谚语中的an entire village不是“全 村庄”之意，应该引申为“社会各界”，即：短文中的“parents，community members and businesses”。 答案：B
2.The text was written mainly for ________. A．parents and members in organizations B．teachers and students
C．newspaper reporters and developing electricians D．education experts and government officials
解析：主旨意图题，综合全文可以推断作者的写作意图是“号召人们参与孩子的教育和 培养”，所以此文主要为“parents and members in organizations”所作。 答案：A
3．Students can get developed in practical working skill through ________.
A．parental involvement B．community activities C．business training D．school teaching
解析：从倒数第二段中可以看出，“孩子们的实践操作能力主要来自工商企业的培训”。 答案：C
4．Which is NOT true according to the passage?
A．Parents play an important part in children’s education.
B．Communities have not a bit effect on the way to a new and high ideal.
C．Educating a child well demands of the work not only from school but from other organizations.
D．Businesses may arrange some training courses for students.
解析：not a bit意为“一点也不，根本没有”，等于“not at all”。第四段的意义可验证 答案。 答案：B
