5．A [标题归纳题。通览全文可知，老师突然离世，整个校园都沉浸在悲痛之中，故正确答案为A。] III. 阅读理解
Some parents think that once their children are at school, they can relax themselves.But this is not the case at all.As research shows, parents have an even greater influence on their children's academic results than the school does.Most of a child's ability is formed from home.
The mass of parents don't realise how they can help their children at home.Things are as simple as baking a cake.An example of helping young children with their maths is simply planning a birthday party.They have to decide how many people to invite, how many invitations they will need, how many prizes, balloons need to be bought, and so on.Children often find that real life experiences help them to do their maths more easily.
Another way that parents can help their children with their maths is to give them pocket money.This not only teaches them about the value of money, but they may need to use basic maths to work out how long they will have to save to buy the special toy that they want.
Reading to children at an early age can give them a head start when they start school.But parents should not stop reading to children when they do start going to school.They still like to be read to, and it can help to increase their sight vocabulary as well.
Providing children with the right equipment can help with their education.Giving them a quiet place where they can work, read and do homework, with a good reading light and a comfortable chair and desk, is just some of these things.Parents can also help their children by providing them with some reference books, and any other relevant learning materials they might need.
Evidently, parents do need to take an active role in the education of their children.If parents want their children to do well at school, they must be prepared to help educate their children at

父母在孩子的教育中起着重要作用，由此可见教育始于家庭，故选A。]
2．C [细节理解题。根据文章第二段第一句可知，大多数家长没有意识到如何在家中帮助自己的孩子，由此可知选项C正确。]
