21、Discipline is used in schools to keep students, teachers and other staff safe and to help meet the behavioral, social and emotional needs of the students as they grow and develop. Schools can choose to use discipline in various ways. 【1】
Punitive (惩罚性的) techniques of discipline are most commonly used. 【2】 For example, a student must move his desk to the front of the room after getting caught throwing pencils at other students. The aim is that next time the student considers throwing a pencil, he will remember the embarrassment of having to move to the front of the room while the entire class knows he is in trouble.
Zero tolerance is something that is used for more severe behaviors. 【3】 However, the technique of zero tolerance means that no warnings are given and consequences are immediate. This type of discipline is used in cases of violence toward other students and other dangerous behaviors.
Some schools also use positive reinforcement (强化), which is a technique that involves offering positive consequences for behaviors that teachers and other staff want to see. For example, perhaps a student is given a sticker for turning in homework on time. 【4】 So students want to make the right choices.
The type of discipline a school chooses to use has an impact on the overall atmosphere and safety of the learning environment. 【5】 It means schools can choose more than one type according to different situations. In this way, schools can create well-rounded students who avoid undesired behaviors and instead gravitate toward the desired ones.
A．The goal here is to make proper behavior attractive.
B．It helps students have a higher academic performance.
C．In general, experts suggest using a mixture of the types.
D．It aims to teach students ways to avoid undesired behaviors.
E．And the choice usually depends on how severe the wrongdoing is.
F．They involve using punishment in response to a negative behavior.
G．Typically students are given one warning or two before being punished.
22、Holidays are really important． Many of us will have childhood memories of summer holidays where we were taken away from home to experience new environments and learn in different ways．
But holidays are expensive and， for those on low wages or living on benefits， they are often unobtainable． Even the cheapest holidays require travel and other additional costs that are difficult for many families to meet．
For working parents， the long summer break can be a very difficult problem for childcare． When an annual leave allowance amounts to only five weeks， there is a need to spread this across the year． Couples can find themselves taking leave in turn in order to care for children who are on holiday． For some， this makes even an affordable family holiday difficult．
The schools that I visit in Nottingham are full of experienced staff committed to giving our children a caring and inspiring learning environment． The number of children receiving free school meals is quite large in Nottingham and many schools have breakfast clubs to make sure that children get a healthy start to the day． Most schools undertake programs of group or individual educational support． Schools also have an important role in safeguarding children's welfare through the ongoing touch and support with their pupils． During the long summer holidays， much of this is missed．
While teachers are holidaying in the UK， many of their pupils spend the whole six weeks on the street where they live． The lack of free school meals for six weeks can result in pressure on a family budget and an inability to afford the inspiring experiences that help children to continue their learning．
In setting out its plans for a five-term year， Nottingham City Council （委员会） is seeking to reduce the summer holiday down to four and a half weeks， with a more balanced five terms of roughly eight weeks， each followed by a two-week break． We believe this will give real "down time" for school staff and pupils alike but will be short enough not to cause a real break in learning．
We acknowledge that this change may be difficult for some school staff， particularly whose own children are educated in other authorities． However， this must be weighed against the benefits for city children for whom we all have the greatest duty of care．
【1】The passage is probably written by ________.
A. an experienced teacher B. a working parent
C. an inspired student D. a city council member
【2】The underlined word "they" in the second paragraph refers to "________".
A. environments B. holidays
C. wages D. benefits
【3】The plans for a shorter summer holiday will help students ________.
A. obtain the cheapest holidays without additional costs
B. get a chance to spend six weeks a term with teachers in school
C. benefit more from the caring and inspiring learning environment
D. have more school days to receive free school meals
【4】It can be inferred from the passage that ________.
A. working parents can enjoy a five-week break to care for their children
B. the suggested plans for a five-term school year can hardly be carried out
C. the long summer holiday gives teachers and students real "down time"
D. some school staff will say "No" to the plans for a shorter summer holiday
23、 Would you like to get funding for a project of your own-maybe a film or help for a friend in need? Plan your pitch. 【1】 Here are some steps you can take to make your pitch sand out in a crowd.
·【2】Nothing is more important than to be involved in a community of people with the same interest-whether it's through articles, videos, or social media. To increase traffic for your site, try posting interviews with experts who do projects like yours. Or join in online discussions connected with your project. When you've built a community and kept it up, it's time to make your pitch.
Get emotional. Funders like ides that make them laugh or think. A lot of campaigns out there are competing for attention.【3】And then try it out on family and friends. Not only can they give you advice, but they may also be your first funders.
Make a plan. You need to plan how the money will be spent, a timeline and the right crowdfunding platform to make your pitch. Consider how much each site charges.【4】
Keep your funders involved. Don't just say thank you-offer rewards. 【5】 Make sure that your rewards are things you can actually achieve. Funders care about your project-keep them updated, ask their advice, and suggest they tell their friends about your project.

24、There are stories about two U．S . presidents，Andrew Jackson and Martin Van Buren，which attempt to explain the American English term OK．We don’t know if either story is true，but they are both interesting．
The first explanation is based on the fact that President Jackson had very little education．In fact，he had difficulty reading and writing．When important papers came to Jackson，he tried to read them and then had his assistants explain what they said．If he approved of a paper．he would write“all correct”on it．The problem was that he didn’t know how to spell．So what he really wrote was“ol korekt”．After a while，he shortened that term to“OK”．
