综合类考试：阅读判断regular conversations
“Helping them isn’t about showing your kids how to do the work.It’s about being genuinely interested and having regular conversations about what they’re learning，”says J.Gary Knowles，a professor at the Ontario Institute for Studies in Education.part of the University of Toronto.
Rozon has a slew of suggestions for how to get more involved.“Get to know the teacher.Discuss ways to tailor the assignments to your child’s learning style.Spend time in the classroom.Ask for outlines of unit studies so you can find supplementary materials at the 1ibrary or through videos.Read your child’s textbooks：If you work a few pages ahead，you’ll be able to help them with problems they encounter’’
Reading is another must，says Rozon.“Even after your children Can read themselves， hearing somebody else read aloud is important.We nearly always have a book on the go;we read for at least a half hour before bedtime.”
The more engaged a parent is，the more the child benefit，adds Bruce Arai.“The evidence is clear：Parental involvement is one of the most important factors in school success.”Arai cites the National Longitudinal Survey of Children and Youth.sponsored by Human Resources Development Canada(HRDC)， which is measuring all aspects of child development.“The hours children spend in class are but one element of their education.”states HRDC，which says parental support，along with teacher support and a positive attitude towards school，all contribute to academic SUCCESS.
“I see every moment of every day as a learning experience.”says Goforth.“The most satisfying part of it is seeing the love of learning continued.I’m not squelching my children’s desire to learn by insisting they learn.They learn because they want to.”
Adds Jeanne Lambert，mother of Carey Graham：‘‘Make the time，take the time，guide，lead，and encourage.If nothing else，your children learn you care，and that’s the most important1esson you can give them.”

答案与解析：
1. 文章标题分析：“Own” your Children’ s Education “拥有”孩子的教育
Own： adj. 自己的， pron.自己的东西， v. 有；拥有；持有
e.g. Every man has his own habit. 每个人都有他特有的习惯。
on ones own 独自地；独立地
标题的内容是“‘拥有’孩子的教育”， 显然有关孩子的教育是这篇文章的主题， 为了进一步了解“拥有”的含义， 可以参看文章开头句子：
“Helping them isn’t about showing your kids how to do the work.It’s about being genuinely interested and having regular conversations about what they’re learning，”says J.Gary Knowles，a professor at the Ontario Institute for Studies in Education， part of the University of Toronto.段落的第一段就是一位教育专家的观点， 显然这个观点应该是作者支持的观点， 也应该反应文章的主题。 该专家说“帮助孩子不是告诉你的孩子怎样做他们的功课， 而是真正地关注他们的学习， 定期和他们交谈他们正在学习的内容”。这句话讲述了“家长应该如何在学习上帮助孩子。”。结合文章标题内容(‘拥有’孩子的教育)判断文章应该讲述“家长怎样做才能正确地在学习上对孩子提供帮助”。“父母(家长)”，“孩子”， “孩子的学习”是文章的主题词。

1.According to the passage， parents should help their children with their homework.
