26、 Much has been made about the need for teachers to develop healthy relationships with the parents of their students. Similarly, headmasters who hold the opportunity to build the relationships with parents will find it to be a worthwhile investment (投资).
As is known, headmasters spend much time on after-school activities. 【1】Great headmasters are good at finding common interests with almost any parent. They can talk about anything from the weather to politics to sports. Having these talks helps parents see you as a real person for the school. 【2】Knowing something personal about you will make it easier to trust and respect you.
One simple strategy for building relationships with parents is to call 5-10 parents each week and ask them a sum of questions about the school, their children’s teachers, etc. Parents will love that you took the time to ask them their opinion. 【3】 A headmaster can invite a small group of parents to join them for lunch to talk about key problems the school is dealing with. These lunches can be scheduled every month or as needed.【4】
Finally, schools are almost always forming committees on different school-related topics. These committees should not be limited to school personnel. Inviting parents and students to serve on a committee brings a different viewpoint that can be beneficial for everyone. 【5】And they provide their stamp (印记) on their child’s education. Headmasters are able to use this time to continue to build relationships and ask for a viewpoint.
A. Another strategy is a parent’s lunch.
B. Parents may not always agree with your decisions.
C. Parents get to be a part of the inner workings of the school.
D. This is a great opportunity to build informal relationships with parents.
E. The relationship between headmaster and parents are more distant.
F. They see you in part as the person who really likes their kids.
G. Adopting these strategies can really strengthen relationships with parents.

28、 Guana was born from a family with 7 children. His parents had two jobs to make ends meet and struggled to pay for basic expenses. Guana was once a cleaner at a school but now he is a superintendent(教育学监), leading the Byron Union School District in rural northern California.
Guana always remembers when he wanted to give up, someone would encourage him. One was the cleaner at his school when he was a boy. He called her “Nike” because she wore Nike shoes. Guana wanted those kinds of shoes, too, but his parents could not afford them. Young Gauna liked how Nike made everything so clean. He told her he wanted to be a cleaner, too. Nike said, “it’s good if you want to be a cleaner, but make sure that you go to college and make this as one of your steps there.”
Guana also looked up to the principal(校长), the leader at his school. He was a tall, friendly and good-looking man. He told Guana about his job helping students and teachers. And he said, “Well, if you don’t give up, you’ll get there.” Guana did get there, and two men remain friends. But before Guana became a school principal, he followed in Nike’s footsteps and become a cleaner. He worked for three schools in Lodi, California, which helped him earn the money needed for his first two years of college. He earned a high-level university education and gained a doctor’s degree. Then he worked as a campus safety officer, teacher, counselor, administrator, and now superintendent.
Even though Guana has had a successful career, he never forgets where he came from, or how he felt. He uses his life experiences to guide him as a leader.
For example, Guana’s younger sister needs a wheelchair to get around. To this day, her disability(残疾) helps him as a school administrator to help and support special children. In Guana’s school system today, everyone is important and invited to parties and events.
【1】Why did Guana have the idea to become a cleaner?
A.He was eager to earn money to go to college.
B.He wanted to buy Nike shoes with his efforts.

B.To encourage us to help those in need like Guana.
C.To inform us that Guana’s sister had such a difficult life.
D.To tell us that Guana was a kind and considerate man.

29、 A good training partner can be a great asset(有用的人)to your training but if you get stuck with a bad one,it could lead you down the road to frustration. 【1】Here are a few things to look out for: Dependable. Choose someone who you are sure will show up for every scheduled workout or who will call you if they can't make it. It is a drain(消耗) on your valuable energy especially before training to have to constantly remind your partner.
Attitude. Get a partner with a positive attitude. This is very important. If they constantly say that something impossible or that they can't or you can't do something,you may end up believing them. 【2】
Open mind. Get a partner with an open mind. Someone who has to do things his or her way all the time,will not listen to you and will not change his or her mind isn't a good partner. 【3】The leader should take into account the needs and feelings of the other partner not totally ignoring them.
Spotting. Get someone you feel comfortable with spotting you. One of the main roles of a training partner is spotting and if you don't trust them,there's not much point in having them around to help.
【4】If you are a beginner,try to find someone who knows what they are doing. You will get more out of your training than if you train with another beginner.
While there are a number of advantages of having training partner,there are also advantages of working alone. 【5】
A.Training level.
B.Similar strength levels.
C.Be selective when choosing a training partner.
D.Find someone with a similar training goal as you.
E.In every partnership,one person will tend to be the leader.
F.Do not train with someone who is satisfied with no improvement.
G.In the end,it is really up to you whether or not you need a training partner.
