13、regear, the coastguard of Cornwall, asked Holden if he would like his dog back.A birdwatcher, armed with a telescope, found the pet sitting desperately on a rock. While he sounded the alarm, a student from Leeds climbed down the cliff to collect Judy.The dog had initially been knocked unconscious(失去

14、知觉的)but had survived by drinking water from a fresh stream at the base of the cliff.

20、ings that was consistently negative was parentshelp with homework.” Robinson suggested that may be because parents themselves struggle to understand the tasks. They “may either not remember the material their kids are studying now, or in some cases never learnt it themselves, but they're still o

21、ffering advice.”Robinson assessed parental involvement performance and found one of the most damaging things a parent could do was to punish their children for poor marks. In general, about 20% of parental involvement was positive, about 45% negative and the rest statistically insignificant.Common s

29、oss the title, Amos, the Beagle with a Plan. Unknowingly, I had read the title. Without opening the book, I borrowed it from the library for the summer.Under the shade of a bush, I started to read about Amos. I read very, very slowly with difficulty.

31、y mind, running together.My mothers call returned me to the real world. I suddenly realized something: I had read a book, and I had loved reading that book. Everyone knew I could not read. But I had read it. Books could be incredibly wonderful and I was going to read them.I never told my mother abou

32、t my “miraculous” (奇迹般地) experience that summer, but she saw a slow but remarkable improvement in my classroom performance during the next year.
