Text 2 Attitudes to leisure have been much influenced by the modern love of moving around and by the ease of travel. The British enjoy the family outing. Most people choose well-known beauty spots, or seaside beaches. Others choose a lonely place, where there are very few people. They may follow tracks between the mountains and lochs and watch seals and seabirds. Food in British hotels and restaurants is reasonably cheap, but hotel rooms are not. The English people rent house or flats for their holidays, but one of the traditional ways of spending a summer holiday is in a boarding house. A house like this may have a card in its window advertising bed and breakfast. In seaside towns there are whole streets of houses, almost every one of which has such notice in window. In recent years several new holiday habits have developed. Among them; the most interesting one is the growth of the so-called holiday camps. They consist usually of great numbers of small, and often quite comfortable, suburban houses, together with central dining halls, dancing halls and swimming pools. Camping holidays with tents are not so well developed in England as in France. The summer weather too often can be very unpleasant for tent-dwellers. Why do English people rent house or flats for their holidays
A. Because it is an important tradition.
Because there are too many houses for rent.
C. Because hotel rooms are quite expensive.
D. Because they have no other choices.

A number of parents prefer not to send their children to school. (1) There are about 300,000 home-schoolers in the United States today. Some parents prefer teaching their children at home because they do not believe that public schools teach the correct religious values; others believe they can provide a better educational experience for their children by teaching them at home. (2) David Gtisterson and his wife teach their three children at home. Guterson says that his children learn very differently from children in school. (3) For example, when there is heavy snowfall on a winter day, it may start a discussion or reading about climate, snow removal (去除) equipment, Alaska, polar bears (北极熊), and winter tourism. A spring evening when the family is out watching the stars is a good time to ask questions about satellites and the space program. (4) Home schooling is often more interesting than regular schools, but critics say that home-schoolers are outsiders who might be uncomfortable mixing other people in adult life. (5) However, most parents don’t have the time or the desire to teach their children at home, so schools will continue to be where most children get their formal education. A. Interestingly, results show that home-schooled children quite often do better than average on national tests in reading and math. B. Critics also say that most parents are not well qualified to teach their children. C. Learning starts with the children’s interests and questions. D. Children who are educated at home are known as "home-schoolers". E. In some countries, however, children are educated by their parents. E If the Brazilian rain forests are on the TV news, it could be a perfect time to talk about how rain forests influence the climate, and how deserts are formed.
