21、Most parents can relate to how difficult it is to send a child to school for the first time. But for Deb on Parental Guidance,sending her daughter off to class when she was just four felt way too soon.
“I looked at her and thought, ‘Do I really have to send you to school?’ Deb, 46, tells TV WEEK. “I started to do some research and found out about home schooling. Before then, I had no idea it existed or that it was even legal.”
And 12 years later, Deb has home-schooled all six of her kids and become a huge advocate (提倡者) forat-home learning. “Home-school parenting allows me to have that strong connection with my children,” she says. “I really believe it prepares them for life in the real world, because we live in the real world every day. They’re not stuck in a classroom with only kids their own age.”
While many parents have had recent experience of trying to bring the classroom into th home during COVID lockdowns, Deb says her approach is very different.
“For me, home schooling is a way of life,” she says.“I’ve worked my whole life around my children’s schooling, rather than making it fit in with my life.”
Despite being confident in her style of parenting, Deb has some unpleasant moments on Parental Guidance this week. The screen-time challenge-where the kids aren’t allowed to use their phones or computers for 24 hours injures her relationship with her eldest daughter Jess.
“Doing the challenge and dealing with those emotions with Jess I felt like a complet failure,” she says, admitting that she struggled to understand Jess’point of view.
But once the teenager explained her experience, Deb understood the effect that having an access to technology had on her
“This is how teenagers connect now,” Deb says. “And with Jess being home-schooled, technology is so important. The screen-time challenge was singly the most challenging, yet most rewarding, moment.”
【1】How did Deb find home schooling when she first learned about it?
A.Illegal.
B.Disappointing.
C.Surprising
D.Popular.
【2】What is an advantage of home schooling for kids according to Deb?
A.Fitting in better with reality.
B.Cutting down tuition fees.
C.Staying away from the wrong crowd.
D.Getting along well with teenagers
【3】What harmed the relationship between Deb and Jess?
A.Deb’s choice of schooling
B.The screen-time challenge.
C.Lack of modern technology.
D.The kids points of view.
【4】What is the purpose of the text?
A.To advocate a lifestyle.
B.To educate the public.
C.To share a way of schooling
D.To entertain readers.

Those who push their own ideas.
There are a lot of selfish people who act as if everything they say is right, and try to deny what you say. No matter how much you explain, those who deny your ideas and push their own ideas to you will never understand. So it’s completely a waste of time, and just leave away. 【3】
Those who only think about themselves.
Selfish people are harmful in your life. They basically only care about their own happiness and joy, so they usually treat you badly because they are too selfish to care about how you feel. 【4】 Therefore, stay with those people who can understand you.

24、Have you ever been faced with trying to stay positive when others around you are negative? A negative person can bring you down and throw your positive plans out of the window. Whether you deal with a family member, friend or co-worker who is negative, there are things you can do to remain positive in the face of negativity?
Whatever you do, don’t argue with a negative person. Arguing only adds fuel to the fire. I have noticed when my children are crabby, it is best to avoid trying to convince them to analyze and adjust their attitude. As soon as I take the approach of being in opposition to them, the situation gets worse before it gets better. Sometimes the best thing to do is remain silent and let negativity pass.
You know how difficult it can be to give love and positive attention to negative people. Unfortunately, that is often exactly what they need. A negative person is usually afraid he is unlovable. How do you show love when someone is negative? You must listen to what he is trying to tell you. Acknowledge the feelings he has by saying something like, “You sound very angry right now.” How might you help a negative person? Offer a hug even if you get rejected. A negative person often has difficulty accepting love from others.
If you have negative people on your life who are affecting your mental and physical health, you need to decide whether or not you want these people in your life. Some people are so negative that you have no other choice but to remove them from your life. However, some people, such as your children, are difficult to remove from your life, in this case, professional counseling(咨询) may be the answer.
【1】What does the underlined word “crabby” in Para.2 mean?
A.Quite excited.
B.Very lonely.
