Question

In the United States, headmasters and teachers discipline (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 (行为) 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 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 (难为情). After that he behaved better. And, of course, other students behaved better, too.

Now headmasters all over the USA are trying Mr Lazares’s idea. They, too, think that students behave better when parents come to school.

试题分析:本文是一篇日常生活类文章，在美国，校长和老师又许多不同的方式来惩罚学生。老师经常给家长写信或打电话给家长，校长可以给学生停课。然而，俄亥俄州一所中学的校长把表现不好的学生的父亲叫到学校来和他一起上课，结果学生因为难为情而修正了自己的表现。

1.D细节理解题。根据第一段If a student behaves (行为) very badly, the headmaster can stop the student having classes.校长可以停学生的课，故选D。

2.A细节理解题。根据第一段 When he didn’t let the students come to school, they were happy. “A three-day holiday!” they thought.可知学生们听到不用上课会很高兴，认为是一天的假期，选A。

3.D细节理解题。根据第二段Mr Lazares telephoned the boy’s parents. “If you come to school with your son, I won’t stop him having classes.” He said.可知校长打电话给学生的父亲让他来陪学生上课，故选D。
