It was an unexpectedly challenging role, one w
16、ithout additional benefits, or a raise for that matter. As a direct result of starting school, there was the surprisingly unpleasant changes to our schedule (time-table). As parents, we were ill-prepared for the troubled time we had trying to get used to the practice of school. Gone were the carefre
17、e days without plans and plenty of time to kill. This included playing imaginary games indoors or hanging around outside whenever the weather turned nice. Getting to school on time meant becoming the hot mess mum who were often seen in movies. I was rushing kids out the door, forgetting lunch boxes
18、and losing car keys. As a huge morning person, I tried my best to ensure that school mornings remained calm and slow-paced. I prepared as much as possible the night before. But it still felt like we were in a rush, which I really hated. The trick. I later discovered, was to cover up my feeling of an
19、xiety. I chanted to myself “Do not rush him, no one likes to be rushed” while helping him get through his morning routine and tasks in a timely manner. Whatever frustration (沮丧) I fell about how slow he was moving, I wouldnt let him know it. I even didnt allow anyone in our house to say phrases like
20、, “Hurry up, were going to be late!” Our common goal, was not just to get our son out the door in time for school, but more importantly prove that mornings can be relaxed and enjoyable, rather than a horrible start to the day. Of course by the time summer holiday came, our family had grown wise enou

We were far more prepared to have a smoother start to the new school year.28What do we know about the author from the first paragraph?AShe liked her new position.BShe got a promotion

23、 on lifestyle change.Schoolchildren spend most of their time surrounded by their peers (同龄人). They spend a lot more time with classmates, teammates and fellow club members than with adults in their lives. Peer pressure can have a huge influence on the lives of children in grades two through twelve.
24、From birth through age six, the family shapes a childs sense of identity (个性). Parents and brothers and sisters affect a childs likes, dislikes, tastes in clothing, food and music and, perhaps most importantly, values. Once children enter school, they form connections to the larger group of their pe
25、ers. This group brings new ideas and experiences. Peer pressure happens when a students actions are influenced by this group. The “pressure” happens when peers suggest or demand actions different from the childs normal behavior and values. Peer pressure leads to some disturbing negative behavior in
26、schoolchildren. In the USA, about 75% of high school students have tried alcohol (酒) offered by their friends in middle or high school. According to a survey, students felt pressured by their peers between 35 and 49% of the time. The power of peer pressure can result from a schoolchilds growing desi
27、re (渴望) to fit into a group. Thankfully, peer pressure can also be positive. For example, wanting to join an athletic group of friends may force a student who has been sitting for a long time to try out for the soccer team. In a survey on peer pressure, 51% of teenagers felt that peer pressure was s
28、ometimes positive. One teenager responded, “Sometimes it can help you gain confidence.” Other examples of positive peer pressure include students encouraging a classmate to run for school president, or friends suggesting that a talented peer try out for a talent show.31What leads to schoolchildrens

31、g a childs values.When Oliver arrived in this hard world, it was very doubtful whether he would live beyond the first three minutes. He lay on a hard little bed and struggled to start breathing. Oliver fought his first battle without much help from the two people present at his birth. One was an old
32、 woman, who was nearly always drunk, and the other was a busy local doctor, who was not paid enough to be very interested in Olivers survive. However, Oliver managed to draw his first breath, and then announced his arrival by crying loudly. His mother raised her pale young face and whispered, “let m

36、s good for children. She also knew what was good for herself. The board (董事会) responsible for the orphans (孤儿) sometimes checked on the health of the children, but they always sent Mr. Bumble, a kind local policeman, to announce their visit the day before. So whenever the board arrived, of course, t
37、he children were always neat and clean. On Olivers ninth birthday, Mr. Bumble came to see Mrs. Mann.
