It would be great to let children choose their own teachers. So many problems would be solved in this way. Besides, children should have the right to choose the teacher that they think would best meet their needs. There should be a day for students at the end of the year to meet all the available teachers for the following year. This could be a question-and-answer period where the students ask questions and the teachers answer. Teachers could also decide if they would be comfortable in that classroom.
Many students do not get along well with their teachers. Other students are afraid of their teachers. Both of these problems get in the way of learning.
Of course parents would need to help. Parents could also interview the teachers and ask questions. There is the possibility that there would be some students and parents who don’t care who their teachers are. If this is the case, then these students will go wherever the headmaster thinks they should be placed. Teacher selection is an idea that needs to be thought over.
（ ）64. ________ don’t care who their teachers are.
A. Most students and parents B. All the students and parents C. No students or parents D. Some students and parents
（ ）65. What’s the main reason for students to choose their own teachers?
A. Students would be able to choose a teacher that meets their own needs. B. Parents would be more comfortable in school. C. Students would get high grades in exams.
D. Students would be able to pick a teacher whom they have heard good things about. （ ）66. What does the underlined word “selection” mean?
A. fiction B. question C. problem D. choice （ ）67. Which would be the best title for the passage?
A. Choose Your Math Teacher B. Teacher Selection C. Parents’ Needs D. Students’ Needs

Many parents like setting family rules for kids. When kids break rules, parents will give them punishments. In fact, when parents tell their kids about a new rule, parents should talk with them about the price they should pay for breaking the rule—what the punishment will be.
Punishments should be reasonable. For example, if parents find their son smoking, they may limit(限制) his social activities for two weeks. Parents should punish only in ways they have discussed with their children before the rule is broken. A study shows that the most popular punishment is to limit kids’ TV time.
It’s understandable that parents will be angry when rules are broken. Punishment is a way to express their anger, but it’s not a very good one. Sharing their feelings of anger or sadness with kids can have a better effect on kids. When kids know what they had done made parents sad, they will feel guilty(内疚的). When they know their actions influence their parents greatly, they will obey rules better.
Rules are made to help kids behave better. If the rules or ways of punishment make kids unhappy or under a lot of pressure(压力), are they helpful?
（ ）68. Which of the following is the most popular way to punish kids?
A. Beating them.
B. Telling them empty threats. C. Limiting their TV time.
D. Using punishments which are not mentioned in rules.
（ ）69. In the writer’s opinion, which is the best way to express anger to kids?
A. Punishing them.
B. Sharing your feelings with them. C. Keeping silent.
D. Telling them how anger you are.
（ ）70. Which is right according to the passage? A. Punishment is the best way to educate kids.
B. Breaking rules is common, so parents needn’t pay attention to it. C. Parents should not punish their kids at all.
D. Parents should talk with kids about the price they should pay for breaking the rule.
（ ）71. What’s the passage mainly about?
A. How to make rules. B. How to educate
