In the United States, headmasters and teachers punish(惩罚)students in several ways. The teacher often writes to or calls the students’ parents. Sometimes students have to stay at school for one hour. If a student behaves very badly, the headmaster can stop the student having classes. The student can’t come to school for one, two or three days. Mr. Lazares, the headmaster of a middle school in Ohio, did not like to do so. When he didn’t let the students come to school, they were happy. “A three-day holiday!” They thought.
One day, a boy was in Mr. Lazares’s office . The boy was not behaving(表现)well in class. Mr. Lazares telephoned the boy’s parents. “If you come to school with your son, I won’t stop him having classes”, he said. The boy’s father came to school and went with his son to every class. Other students looked at the boy and his father.
The boy was embarrassed(尴尬). After that he behaved better. And of course other students behaved(表现) better, too. Now headmasters all over the U. S. A. are trying Mr. Lazares’s idea. They also think that students behave better when parents come to school.
11.What does a headmaster usually do to the student if he behaves very badly
A.Write to the student’s parents.
B.Calls the student’s parents.
C.Stops the student having classes for several days.
12.When a student wasn’t having classes for several days, he was________.
A.happy B.angry C.afraid
13.What did Mr Lazares do when his students were not behaving well in class
A.Tried to talk to them.
B.Sent them home.
C.Telephoned their parents to come to school and go to classes with them.
14.Why did the other students behave better, too
A.They didn’t like to have classes with the boy’s father.
B.They didn’t want their parents to come to school.
C.They were afraid of teachers.
15.What’s the passage mainly about
A.In the United States, teachers punish(惩罚)students in several ways.
B.All headmasters think that students behave better when parents come to school.
C.Mr. Lazares thinks of a new way to punish students instead of the traditional ways.

A lift is very useful. It looks like a small room. It goes up and down all day.
In the past a worker stood in the lift. He or she operated(操作)it up and down. In modern(现代)lifts, there’s no worker. People walk in. They know which floor(楼层)they want to go to. They push(按)a button(按钮)and the lift goes to that floor. It’s very fast and easy.
Lifts are very important to us. Why Think about a tall building. Maybe it has twenty floors. Maybe it has fifty or more. Who can walk up all the stairs(楼梯) Maybe people can climb them once. Can someone climb thirty floors to an office every day Can small children walk up to their rooms on the twenty-fourth floor Of course not. We can have very high buildings because we have lifts. We could not have all the beautiful tall buildings without lifts, because it is too tired for people to climb the stairs every day.
