21、   It is generally acknowledged that young people from poorer social-economic backgrounds tend to do less well in the education system. In an attempt to help the children of poor families, a nationwide program called “Headstart” was started in the US in 1965. A lot of money was poured into it. It took children into pre-school institutions at the age of three and was supposed to help them succeed in school. But the results have been disappointing , because the program began too late. Many children who entered it at three were already behind their peers(同龄人) in language and intelligence and the parents were not involved in the process. At the end of each day, “Headstart” children returned to the same disadvantaged home environment.

To improve the results, another program was started in Missouri that concentrated on parents as the child’s first teachers. This program was based on research showing that working with the family is the most effective way of helping children get the best possible start in life. The four-year study included 380 families who were about to have their first child and represented different social-economic status, age and family structure. The program involved trained educators visiting and working with the parent or parents and the child. The program also gave the parents some guidance, and useful skills on child development.

At three, the children involved in the “Missouri” program were evaluated with the children selected from the same social-economic background and family situations. The results were obvious. The children in the program were more advanced in language development, problem solving and other intellectual(智力的) skills than their peers. They performed equally well regardless of social-economic backgrounds or family structure. The one factor that was found to affect the child’s development was the poor quality of parent-child interaction. That interaction was not necessarily bad in poorer families.

The “Missouri” program compares quite clearly with the “Headstart” program. Without a similar focus on parent education and on the vital importance of the first three years, some evidence indicates that it will not be enough to overcome educational unfairness.

【1】What caused the failure of the “Headstart” program ?

A.The large number of poor families.

B.The late start of the program.

C.The disapproval from children.

D.The long period of time.

【2】According to the passage, what is likely to influence children’s performance ?

A.The number of family members. B.The intelligence of their parents.

C.The parent-child communication. D.The teacher-student relationship.

【3】How does the author develop the passage ?

A.By making comparisons. B.By listing figures.

C.By giving examples. D.By drawing conclusions.

22、   At 88, my grandmother Vera has dementia and barely recognizes me. But I’m determined to help her age with dignity and grace in her home for as long as she can.

Since 2015, I’ve been a manager at Honor, a technology company that uses a website and an app to pair professional caregivers (we call them Care Pros) with loved ones who need a hand. I want to make sure we are offering all our clients (客户), including my grandmother, a service that is affordable, with people who are reliable, diverse and skilled. On Sundays. Amy, my grandmother’s most-loved Honor professional caregiver, comes over to get her dressed for church. She loves the time she spends with Amy. That’s the best gift I can give her and the best gift I can give myself. Care giving can exhaust a family emotionally and physically. At Honor, we’re trying to create something that makes it easier for women to be moms, daughters, and sisters all at once. That’s why this company was built.

What sets Honor apart from other care giving services is that we’re equally focused on treating the Care Pros well. We pay higher-than-average rates and they can get health benefits and sick leave. Most of our Care Pros are women, and a lot of them arc single mothers. The technology behind our app allows Care Pros to set parameters (参数) based on when, where, and how much they want to work so they can control their schedules. The company also allows continuity of care. Each Care Pro notes in the caregivers’ app how the client is feeling or what should happen on the following shift. That way, the client’s family can stay up to date on their loved one’s health.

When I was working with my team at Honor, I wanted to create opportunities for people who looked like me. I’m proud to say that there are single moms and other women without traditional educational training who lead teams here. The makeup of this company proves that people with diverse backgrounds can be part of a successful tech company. This has to be a model for the future.

I’m confident it will happen.

【1】The author mentions Amy to _______.

A. share a precious memory

B. advocate caring for the elderly

C. show the importance of caregivers

D. inform the readers of a touching story

【2】Which of the following about Honor is true?

A. It allows flexible working schedules.

B. It gives higher salary and more paid leave.

C. It mainly employs single mothers and males.

D. It matches caregivers with clients at random.

【3】What does the underlined part “stay up to date” probably mean?

A. Go to bed later than usual.

B. Get the latest information.

C. Attend to somebody at fixed time.

D. Accompany somebody day and night.

【4】The last paragraph intends to tell us that _______.

A. women are able to hold up half the sky

B. success has nothing to do with education

C. Honor will probably have a better future

D. people with diverse backgrounds will be a model
