When it comes to President Obama，most of his personal business is already known by the public. Personal information about his children, Malia and Sasha，however，has been kept a little more under wraps.

The New York Times recently released a list of rules that Michelle Obama has mentioned over the years that Malia and Sasha must follow during their time in the White House，as well as in general. See how the first family educates their children：

The girls must write reports about what they've seen on their trips，even if it's not required by their school.

Malia may use her cell phone only on the weekend，and she and her sister cannot watch television or use a computer for anything but homework during the week.

Malia and Sasha have to play two sports：one they choose and one selected by their mother.

Malia must learn to do laundry(洗衣服)before she leaves for college.

The girls have to eat their vegetables，and if they say they are not hungry，they cannot ask for cookies or chips later.

While these might be shocking to some，Michelle said，“They're not little princesses. It's just basic rules，boundaries, and expectations that we would have normally.”

Michelle also mentions another set of rules：

The girls must do their chores(家务)，though the White House has a large staff. Malia and Sasha have chores of their own.

They must play a team sport, because it's about learning how to play on a team，how to lose and how to win gracefully.

...

It sounds like Michelle and Barack want the best for their kids and to make them as well rounded as possible. What are your thoughts on the Obama family rules?

After the examination, the doctor told my parents my sight would get worse and that I would lose my sight finally. On the way home from hospital, no one said a word. One day, would I only imagine the scenery beyond the glass rather than see it?

That September, I entered middle school. Most nights I had homework that included an armful of books to read. To keep up with other children, I took great trouble to finish the task. With my nose a couple of inches from the page, I was tired easily. What's worse, after I had read several pages on my own, the words slipped off the page into inky pools.

However, then I did not have audio books and electronic devices like kids do now. Instead, Mom volunteered to read out loud. Mom worked parttime, cleaned the house, cooked and spent time with Grandma. In spite of being so busy, she showed up in my room like clockwork. She put on her reading glasses. Mom always thought those glasses made her look old. To me, she looked like a teacher.

In my room, Mom's voice competed with the ticking of the clock. Being forced to focus on listening, I found a way to keep my marks up and compete with the other kids. When the teacher asked a question, I raised my hand with confidence. Teachers praised me for having a good memory. Reading removed my fear for my failing sight, reading also made me curious about other people's challenges and how they managed. Though I could not use my eyes to fix on each passage, my mind lit up with every new book.

True to what the doctor said, the worst came, but thanks to Mom, my sense of hearing now allows me to “see”. This was the most precious (珍贵的) gift from a mother to her child.

8．Why did the author and his parents keep silent on their way back home from hospital?

A. They all wanted to have a good rest B. The author didn't do well in the exam.

C. What the doctor said made them worried.D. They focused on the scenery along the road.

9．How did the author manage to get high marks?

A. By being confident. B. By listening carefully.

C. By getting help from his classmates. D. By reading as many books as possible.

C. the author's mother didn't work to look after him

D. reading made the author not worry about his sight

Most of us spend our lives seeking the natural world. We go fishing, sit in the garden, have a picnic, live in the suburbs or go to the seaside. The most popular leisure activity in Britain is going for a walk. When joggers jog, they don't run the streets. Every one of them tend to go to the park or the river.

But despite this, our children are growing up nature deprived (剥夺). I spent my boyhood climbing trees. These days, children are robbed of these ancient freedoms, due to problems like crime, traffic, the loss of the open spaces and strange new ideas about what is best for children, that is to say, things that can be bought, rather than things that can be found.??The truth is to be found elsewhere. A study in the US: families had moved to better housing and the children were assessed for ADHD -- attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (多动症). Those whose accommodation had more natural views showed an improvement of 19%; those who had the same improvement in material surroundings but no nice view improved just 40% .

ADHD is one of the great problems of modern childhood. One study after another indicates thatcontact with nature gives huge benefits to ADHD children. However, we spend money on drugs rather than on green places.

The life of old people is measurably better when they have access to nature. The increasing concern for the growing population of old people is in quality rather than quantity of years. And study after study?finds that a garden is the single most important thing in finding that quality. Even problems with crime and?aggressive behaviour are reduced when there is contact with the natural world.

We need the wild world. It is essential to our well-being, our health and our happiness.

A. adults deprive the children of their rights to approach nature??B. children probably spend less time in nature nowadays??C. climbing trees will certainly do good to the children? D. children tend to be happier as a result of their material satisfaction 14. In what way do people benefit from their contact with nature???A. Children with ADHD can be cured.??B. Children's performance at school is greatly improved.

C. Problems with crime and violent behavior will easily be solved.? D. A garden nearby improves the quality of old people's life.

15. What is the main idea of this passage?? A. Nature treats children with ADHD.??? B. Access to nature improves our life.??C. Getting close to nature reduces crime.?? D. Man
