Q: I'm taking a test and have to guess the right answer to the question after the article. Article: Good parent - teacher communication is necessary for a child's success in school. Recent studies show that the more actively parents are involved in the child's school life. The better the child does in his studies. Like all relationships, parents and teachers affect each other, but the person who is most affected is the child. What they need to understand is that the educational success depends on many things, including the ability of the parents and teacher to know his needs and what he likes, and encourage him. When a child's teacher and parents work together in the best interests of the child, he may feel able to learn, but, more importantly, also feel supported. Education is about much more than just academic success. We must use the parent-teacher relationship to help a child grow and learn. So, how should parents and teacher work together? It doesn't require a change in the school subjects. It simply means that they should work together to help make lessons practical . For instance, if a child is learning about money at school and the teacher takes the time to communicate this to the parents, the parent can take the child to the store to practice what he is learning at school. At the store, he has to pick out a thing he can afford to buy, take out the right amount of money to pay for it and check to make sure the clerk has given him the right amount of _ . Doing this can help him to learn about the world in which he lives. This is how good parent-teacher communication supports the parent, teacher and, finally, the child. Question: Who is most affected by the parent-teacher relationship? Options: A: The child B: The parents. C: The child's friends. D: the teachers
A: A

I'm taking a test and have to guess the right answer to the question after the article. Article: We always want to prepare ourselves to the changes we may face when we go to a different country. Well, I have to say that for me, even after living in the US for one year and a half, I am still not used to the changes of weather, or how to manage my money well. There are many things that can give us culture shocks, but it is up to us whether to make it a big shock or a small one. I know that changing schools was a big thing for me. It helped me to be stronger and open towards meeting new people. Sometimes it feels like everybody is already in a group. This makes it harder for someone else to go in. But, it is not that hard. Actually many people know that you are from another country. They feel curious about your "history", and would often think you are a different man. Another thing that can produce a shock to me is the sudden change of weather. During the last couple of days, there was an ice-snow storm. It was the biggest in 15 years in the state of Missouri. It was raining ice, really, and you could hear sounds outside the window like little pieces of rocks hitting it, of course it was the ice. It started _ so heavily that the University had to close down for two days, and it got worse when it started snowing after the ice storm. As international students, you may at times find something very difficult, but hey, anyone can beat and overcome it to make studying aboard an unforgettable experience. Question: What is the main idea of this article? Options: A: We may often change school to get used to living in a different country. B: The author exercised a lot during the ice-snow storm and became stronger. C: Students form other countries are curious about American history. D: Studying abroad is cool though there are difficulties.
