One important thing during the pre-Christmas rush at our house was the arrival of my daughter's kindergarten report card. She got 01 praise for her reading, vocabulary and overall enthusiasm. On the other hand, we 02 that she has work to do on her numbers and facility with the computer, though the detailed 03 report her teachers prepared is absent of any words that might be interpreted as negative in describing her 04 . A number system indicates how she's measuring up in each area 05 any mention of passing or failing.All of 06 seems to make my daughter’s school neither fish nor fowl when 07 comes to the debate over the merits of giving formal grades to kids. At one 08 , the advantages and disadvantages are obvious. A grade system provides a straightforward 09 by which to measure how your child is progressing at school —— and how he or she is getting 10 compared to other children.But as writer Sue Ferguson notes, “Grades can deceive,” The aim should be "to measure learning, not 11 what a student can recall on a test. ” The two aren’t the same — and if you doubt that as an adult, ask yourself whether you could sit down 12 any preparation and still pass those high-school-level examinations.If you're old 13 , you've lived through this debate before. At one time, it was considered unfair to put children in direct competition with one another if it could be avoided. The intention 14 that may have been good, but it ignored the fact that competition, and the 15 to come out on top, are essential components of the human condition.This time around, educators working with a no-grades approach are emphasizing different reasons. The thing is, that approach is much more 16 in the adult workplace than is the traditional pass-fail system we place on our children. Many workplaces 17 regular employee evaluations. There are usually fairly strict limits to what an employer can tell an employee in those evaluations — and even then, negative evaluations can be 18 by the employee. No matter 19 you sit in the debate over the grade system, then, the real question is this: if it's so good for kids, why isn't that also true for 20 ?(1)AhigherBhighlyChighestDhigh(2)AstudyBlearnClearntDstudied(3)AhandwrittenBhandwriteChandwroteDhandwriting(4)AeffectsBaffectsCeffortsDaffords(5)AwideBwithoutCwithDwidth(6)AwhenBwhereCwhichDhow(7)AheBsheCtheyDit(8)AstageBextentClevelDfloor(9)AtraditionBregularCuniquenessDstandard(10)AinBtoCupDon(11)AhumblyBsimplyCeasilyDreally(12)AwithoutBnearCwithDnearly(13)AenoughBdecentCsufficientDnearly(14)AbehindBbeforeCbesideDbesides(15)AshouldBwillCwouldDshall(16)AcommonplaceBshouldCmarketplaceDdisplace(17)AdropBleaveCabandonDconduct(18)AacceptedBsupportedCchallengedDexplained(19)AwhyBwhereCwhoDwhat(20)AfathersBmothersCkidsDadults。

Social customs differ from country to country. Does a man walk on the left or the right of a woman in your country? Or doesn‘t it matter? What about table manners? Should you use both hands when you are eating? Shouldyou leave one in your lap, or on the table?

The Americans and the British not only speak the same language but also share a large number of social customs. For example, in both America and England people shake hands when they meet each other for the first time.Also, most Englishmen will open a door for a woman or offer their seat to a wolan, and so will most Americans.Promptness is important both in England and in America. That is, if a dinner invitation is for 7 o'clock, the dinner guest either arrives close to that time or calls up to explain his delay.

The important thing to remember about social customs is not to do anything that might make other people feel uncomfortable --especially if they are your guests. There is an old story about a man who gave a formal dinner party. When the food was served, one of the guests started to eat his peas with a knife. The other guests were amused or shocked, but the host calmly picked up his knife and began eating in the same way. It would have been bad manners to make his guest feel foolish or uncomfortable.
