Homeschooling is the education of children at home, typically by parents but sometimes by
tutors, rather than in public or private school. As a matter of fact, most childhood education
occurred within the family or community.
Homeschooling is a legal choice for parents in developed countries to provide their children
with a learning environment at home. Parents see many reasons for homeschool, including better
test results, improved instruction, to help the public system with fewer kids, poor public school
environment, religious reasons, improved character development, the expense of private education,
and objection to what is taught locally in public school.
Homeschooling can also be a choice for families living in remote (遥远的) locations, living
abroad, and to allow for more traveling. Also many young athletes and actors are taught at home,
where a coach (教练) or tutor is with the child for many years and then knows the child very well.
In some places, an approved curriculum (课程) is required if children are to be
home-schooled. In some cases a liberal arts (文科) education is provided.

The widespread number of food scandals ( 丑闻) in China is making many people pause
before they put their chopsticks in their mouth. They are wondering if the food they are eating is
clean, healthy and nutritious or does it contain something harmful that will cause disease?
Most of the food we eat today is processed food( 加工食品). That means the foods we buy
in stores and supermarkets, especially packaged foods, are prepared in factories. Chemicals are

added to the foods in these factories to make them look better, taste better and last longer on the
shelf. The chemicals are supposed to be harmless and there are laws that regulate which chemicals
can and cannot be used. Unfortunately, some producers do not obey the laws.
A producer of steamed buns (馒头) in Zhejiang Province was recently discovered to be
breaking the law. He was adding yellow dye(染色) and other banned （被禁止的）chemicals to the
buns. He was also taking old buns and using them to make new buns. Most of the buns were sold
to schools and eaten by students. . . like you！
Why did he do it? Why did he break the law and endanger people’s health? The answer is
simple: he wanted to make more money. It was a moral failing, and this is at the heart of the food
scandals in China. Too many people focus on making money and not on the effects their actions
can have on others.

The building is shaking. A woman with a baby in her arms is trying to open the door, but fails.
Finding no way, she rushes into her bedroom and there they survive the earthquake.
In a factory building, as the workshop floor swings under the terrible shaking, workers run
for safety. Some hide under the machines and survive , but others who try to run outside are killed
by the falling ceilings.
These scenes, played by actors and actresses, are from a film of science education Making a
Split Second Decision shown in 1998 on China Central TV in memory of Tangshan Earthquake.
By studying actual cases in the earthquake areas and scientific experiments, experts find that
buildings remain untouched for the first 12 seconds of an earthquake.
In this short time, one has the best chance of surviving an earthquake by staying near the
inside walls, in bedrooms and under beds, experts concluded in the film. “Earthquakes seem to
catch the lives of those who run,” said many survivors in the earthquake areas, describing how
their friends were killed on the doorways or along the stair steps as they tried to get out of the
building.

Their advice was proved in the film, “Take a hiding-place where you are rather than run,
unless you are sure you can reach a safe open place in ten seconds.”
