When kids at Archisha Singh’s school in Loudoun County have a birthday, no parents buy them birthday cakes.

Some schools are worried that children might become fat or eat unhealthy food, so they have banned(禁止) cupcakes altogether.

What do kids do? Birthday kids can donate a book. The headmaster of their school will then read it to their class. The headmaster also hands out birthday certificates(證書), special pencils, and makes sure the kids’ names are read out in the school’s morning news.

Parents can send stickers(貼紙), pencils and other things to students. None of the things can be food. If a child donates jump ropes or other sports equipment, that child may get his or her name on a certificate. It will then be displayed at school.

Archisha really misses cupcakes, especially those her mother used to make for her kindergarten class, but her school’s way is fun, too. “I like both ways,” she said.

The headmaster says it’s important that the school should be not only teaching, but offering healthy choices to kids. “There is a better life without cupcakes. If you eat a cupcake, then it’s gone in two seconds, but a book lasts a lifetime. The sports equipment lasts, and the kids can use it day after day.”

1.Some schools have banned cupcakes because ________.

       A. they don’t like them                

B. they are not delicious

       C. they are unhealthy food              

D. they are too expensive

2.What do birthday kids do?

       A. They can borrow a book.              

B. They get birthday certificates.

       C. They get special pens.                   

D. They eat birthday cakes.

3.Which can not be sent to students?

       A. Stickers.     B. Sweets.      C. Pencils.     D. Books.

4.The headmaster thinks the school should ________.

       A. offer healthy choices to kids        

B. offer a better life to kids

       C. teach students how to be healthy         

D. give kids sports equipment

Many parents like setting family rules for their kids. When kids break rules, parents will give them some punishments, which aren’t included in rules. In fact, when you tell your kids about a new rule, you should talk with them about the price they should pay for breaking the rule — what the punishment will be.
Punishments you set should be reasonable, without violence or threat (暴力或威脅). For example, if you find your son smoking, you may limit his social activities for two weeks. You should punish your kids only in ways you have discussed before the rule is broken. A study shows that the most popular punishment is to limit kids’ TV time.
It’s understandable that you’ll be angry when rules are broken. Punishment is a way to express your anger, but it’s not a very good one. Sharing your feelings of anger, disappointment or sadness with your kids can have a better effect (效果) on them. Try to do that. When your kids know what they have done has made you sad, they will feel compunctious. When they know their actions influence you greatly, they will obey rules better.
Rules are made to help your kids behave better. If your rules or ways of punishment make them unhappy or under a lot of pressure, are they helpful?
【小題1】What’s the passage mainly about?

A.How to make rules.B.Why to make rules.
C.Why to punish kids.D.How to educate kids.
【小題2】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.
【小題3】In the writer’s opinion, which is thought to be the best way to express anger to kids?
A.Punishing them.
B.Keeping silent.
C.Asking them to do some housework.
D.Telling them how disappointed you are.
【小題4】The underlined word “compunctious” in the passage means “       ” in Chinese.
A.激動(dòng)的B.無聊的C.刺激的D.內(nèi)疚的
【小題5】Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?
