Children are our future, and it’s up to us to arm them with tools to succeed. Sadly, today’s children are armed with more dangerous tools like weapons, drugs and gangs. Once a relatively peaceful environment, many schoolyards of today are becoming unsafe for both students and teachers.

Home schools are available to give you choices. Home schooling provides top-quality education, flexibility, and freedom to create your own schedule. At Heritage Home School we believe the choice should be yours.

Thanks in part to modern technology, home schooling information is becoming readily available across our nation. A recent study by the ITBS (Lowa Tests of Basic Skills) and TAP (Tests of Achievement and Proficiency) shows us that students of home schools do particularly well when compared with the nationwide average. In every subject at every grade level, students of home schooling scored obviously higher than those in public and private schools.

If you are new to home schooling, you may be asking yourself, “will home schools really work for my children?”

Fact: A nationwide study using a random selection of 1,516 families found students of home schooling to be scoring, on average, at or above the 80th percentile in all areas on standard achievement test.

Note: The national average on standardized achievement tests is the 50th percentile.

Working together, the staff at Heritage Home School brings 65 years of experience in home schooling curriculum. We’ve placed students in the top 2% of the nation in math and many are successfully moving on to college.

One study found that of the home schooled adults, 0% were unemployed, 0% were on welfare, 94% said home education prepared them to be independent persons.

For more home schooling information, call us today toll free at 1(877) 532-7665.(唐山B)

How to Beat On-line Credit-card Thieves

From the moment that an animal is born it has to make decisions .It has to decide which of the things around it are for eating , and which are to be avoided ; when to attack and when to run away .The animal is , in fact , playing a very dangerous game with its environment , a game in which it must make a decision—a matter of life or death .

Animals’ ability to act reasonably is believed to come partly from what we may call “genetic (遗传性的)learning” , which is different from the individual (个体的) learning that an animal does in the course of its own lifetime .Genetic learning is learning by a species —animals of the same kind—as a whole , and it is achieved by selection of those members of each generation that happen to act in the right way .However, the role of genetic learning depends upon how similar the future environment is to the past.The more important individual experience is likely to be , the less important is genetic learning as a means of getting over the problems of the survival game.Because most animals live in ever changing environments from one generation to the next , it is not surprising to find that very few species indeed depend wholly upon genetic learning.

In the great majority of animals, their particular ways of acting in a new environment are a compound(复合体)of individual experience added to the action patterns animals are born with.That is why animals can survive.

49.The animal’s life will come to an end___________.

A.if the animal makes a wrong decision B.if the animal plays a dangerous game

C.when the animal attacks its enemy D.when the animal runs too slowly

50.Very few species depend entirely on genetic learning because____________.

A.each generation has its own way of learning B.their environments change all the time

C.they can act reasonably on their own D.it takes their whole life to learn

51.When the environment doesn’t change much , ______________.

A.animals cannot act in a right way

B.genetic learning is less important for animals

C.individual learning plays a less important role

D.animals cannot get over problems on their on their own

52.Animals’ living on generation after generation depends on__________.

A.their natural action pattern with their own experience

B.the lessons they have learnt during their lifetime

C.their experience in particular environments

D.the knowledge passed on by their parents
