綜合類考試：閱讀判斷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.”

答案與解析：
1. 文章標題分析：“Own” your Children’ s Education “擁有”孩子的教育
Own： adj. 自己的， pron.自己的東西， v. 有；擁有；持有
e.g. Every man has his own habit. 每個人都有他特有的習慣。
on ones own 獨自地；獨立地
標題的內容是“‘擁有’孩子的教育”， 顯然有關孩子的教育是這篇文章的主題， 為了進一步了解“擁有”的含義， 可以參看文章開頭句子：
“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專家的觀點， 顯然這個觀點應該是作者支持的觀點， 也應該反應文章的主題。 該專家說“幫助孩子不是告訴你的孩子怎樣做他們的功課， 而是真正地關注他們的學習， 定期和他們交談他們正在學習的內容”。這句話講述了“家長應該如何在學習上幫助孩子。”。結合文章標題內容(‘擁有’孩子的教育)判斷文章應該講述“家長怎樣做才能正確地在學習上對孩子提供幫助”。“父母(家長)”，“孩子”， “孩子的學習”是文章的主題詞。
2. 直接解題：
1.According to the passage， parents should help their children with their homework.
