The fridge is considered a necessity. It has been so since the 1960s when packaged food first appeared with the label: \and healthily. The milkman came daily, the grocer, the butcher, the baker, and the ice-cream man delivered two or three times a week. The Sunday meat would last until Wednesday and surplus bread and milk became all kinds of cakes. Nothing was wasted, and we were never troubled by rotten food. Thirty years on, food deliveries have ceased, and fresh vegetables are almost unobtainable in the country.
The invention of the fridge contributed comparatively little to the art of food preservation. A vast way of well-tried techniques already existed — natural cooling, drying, smoking, salting, sugaring, bottling. What refrigeration did promote was marketing — marketing hardware and
electricity, marketing soft drinks, marketing dead bodies of animals around the globe in search of a good price.
Consequently, most of the world's fridges are to be found, not in the tropics where they might prove useful, but in the wealthy countries with mild temperatures where they are climatically
almost unnecessary. Every winter, millions of fridges hum away continuously, and at vast expense, busily maintaining an artificially-cooled space inside an artificially-heated house— while outside, nature provides the desired temperature free of charge.
The fridge's effect upon the environment has been evident, while its contribution to human happiness has been insignificant (不足取的). If you don't believe me, try it yourself, invest in a food cabinet and turn off your fridge next winter. You may miss the hamburger, but at least you'll get rid of that terrible hum. Choose the best answers:
1. The Statement \Paragraph 1 suggests that .
A. the author was well-fed and healthy even without a fridge in his fifties B. the author was not accustomed to using fridges even in his fifties C. the fridge was in its early stage of development in the 1950s D. there was no fridge in the author's home in the 1950s
2. Why does the author say that nothing was wasted before the invention of fridges? A. People would not buy more food than was necessary. B. Food was delivered to people two or three times a week.

A high school counselor gets a call from a parent protesting the \assignment. \why the mother was so disappointed about the grade. \7. In a survey, 90% of new teachers agreed that involving parents in their children's education is a priority (优先权) at their school, but only 25% described their experience working with parents as \involving parents and communicating with them as their top choice. 73% of new teachers said too many parents treat schools and teachers as enemies. 8. At a time when competition is rising and resources are limited, when battles over testing force schools to adjust (调整) their priorities, when cell phones and e-mails speed up the information flow and all kinds of private ghosts and public quarrels slip into the parent-teacher meeting, it's harder for both sides to step back and breathe deeply and look at the goals they share. 9.
Everyone says the parent-teacher meeting should be pleasant, civilized, a kind of dialogue
where parents and teachers build partnership (伙伴关系). But what most teachers feel, and certainly what all parents feel, is anxiety and panic.

10.
When a teacher asks parents to be partners, he or she doesn't necessarily mean Mom or Dad should be camping in the classroom. Research shows that though students benefit modestly from having parents involved at school, what happens at home matters much more. According to research based on the National Education Longitudinal Study, a sample of nearly 25,000 eighth graders, among four main areas of parental involvement (home discussion, home supervision, school communication, and school participation), home discussion was the most strongly related.
