    When parents send their children to school，often they don't know what happens day to day. Parents depend on what their children tell them about they are doing and what they are learning. Generally schools will host parent-teacher meeting at least twice a year. Parent-teacher meetings are short meetings between parents and their children's teacher. Usually they are held when teachers give put a student's grades for the term. The parent-teacher meetings give teachers a chance to let parents know how their child is doing. A teacher will let a parent know the student's advantages and bring to the parent's attention any problems with grades or behavior(行为).The meetings also offer parents the chance to ask questions and see what their child is learning.

    Most children do not go along with their parents to the meetings. This allows both the parent and teacher to talk honestly about the child's progress without making the child feel bad. Usually a teacher will offer advice to the parent on how to support their child's education.

Harris was a very small hare(野兔) with very big feet. "Why do I have such big feet, Grandpa?" Harris asked. "All hares have big feet, Harris. I will show you 1 ," said Grandpa.

Grandpa hopped(单脚跳) 2 into the air. Harris copied(模仿) it. He kept practicing over and over again until he could hop as high 3 Grandpa. Then Grandpa took Harris up to the 4 of the mountains. He told Harris, "With your big feet, you can hop to the top of your world."

Grandpa taught Harris lots of life 5 . For example, he taught Harris how to 6 a cool resting place in the earth when the days were hot. One summer afternoon, they stopped to 7 the grass. Harris shouted happily, "Look, Grandpa! My feet can 8 me away from the hot sun! I'm so 9 to have such big feet." As time went by, he got to know the10 of his feet.

One day Grandpa noticed a wolf looking closely at them from a distance (从远处). He kept cool and spoke 11 to Harris, "The most important thing about your big feet is they can 12 you to run very fast." Harris began to run and didn't stop 13 he heard the howl (嚎叫) of the wolf. "Grandpa, why aren't you running with me?" Harris ran back and 14 sadly.

"Little Harris, I'm growing old. It's time for you to learn to live in 15 own world."

Harris kept Grandpa's words in mind and he believed his big feet would take him to the end of the world.
