As a matter of fact, most childhood education occurred within the family or community.Homeschooling is a legal choice for parents in developed countries to provide their children with a learning environment at home. Parents see many reasons for homeschool, including better test results, improved instruction, to help the public system with fewer kids, poor public school environment, religious reasons, improved character development, the expense of private education, and objection to what is taught locally in public school.Homeschooling can also be a choice for families living in remote (遥远的) locations, living abroad, and to allow for more traveling. Also many young athletes and actors are taught at home, where a coach (教练) or tutor is with the child for many years and then knows the child very well.In some places, an approved curriculum (课程) is required if children are to be home-schooled. In some cases a liberal arts (文科) education is provided.根据短文内容，从A、B、D四个选项中选出能回答所提问题或完成所给句子的最佳答案（共3小题；每小题2分，满分6分）54.

The following passage explains very well about this matter.The first thing you need to do is to become a good listener. In this way, you show your friends that you are interested in their lives. You want to know more about them and you want to help them solve their problems. They will cherish (珍惜) the friendship more if they know you care about them.The next thing is that you should respect other peoples privacy. People usually dont like others to know about their private life, so you should show respect toward their privacy. Sometimes, they need some suggestions from others, but this does not mean that others can know about their entire life. So respect for privacy is a must for keeping a long friendship.The third important thing is that you need to be able to forgive. You must remember that nobody is perfect in this world. It is important to forgive others and not to blame them for the mistakes they have already made. You are not perfect either. Thus you need to apologize to others for the mistakes you may have made.Pay attention to the three things above, and you will be able to have long friendship. 根据短文内容，从A、B、D四个选项中选出能回答所提问题或完成所给句子的最佳答案（共3小题；每小题2分，满分8分）57.
