题型:不详难度:来源:
American public education has changed in recent years. One change is that increasing numbers of American parents and teachers are starting independent public schools called charter schools.
In 1991, there were no charter schools in the Unite States. Today, more than 2300 charter schools operate in 34 states and the District of Columbia. 575000 students attend these schools. The students are from 5 years of age through 18 or older.
A charter school is created by groups of parents, teachers and community members. It is similar in some ways to a traditional public school. It receives tax money to operate a number of students. The charter school must prove to local or state governments that its students are learning. These governments provide the school with the agreement, or charter that permits it to operate.
Unlike a traditional public school, however, the charter school does not have to obey most laws governing public schools. Local, state or federal governments cannot tell it what to teach.
Each school can choose its own goals and decide the ways it wants to reach those goals. Class sizes are usually smaller than in many traditional public schools. Many students and parents say teachers in charter schools can be more creative.
However, state education agencies, local education-governing committees and unions often oppose charter schools. They say these schools may receive money badly needed by traditional public schools. Experts say some charter schools are doing well while others are struggling.
Congress provided 200 million dollars for establishing charter schools in the 2006 federal budget. But, often the schools say they lack enough money for programs. Many also lack needed space. District officials say they have provided 14 former school buildings for charter education. Yet charter school supporters say officials should try harder to find more space.

Obtaining fresh water from icebergs
The idea of getting fresh water from icebergs that are moved to populated areas or places was once treated as a joke.Recently, scientists have warned that the human race will outgrow its fresh water supply faster than it runs out of food.小题1: 
Glaciers are a possible source of fresh water that has been overlooked until recently.小题2:  It contains fresh water so much that it could sustain all the rivers of the world for 1,000 years.
Huge glaciers that stretch over the shallow continental shelf give birth to icebergs throughout the year.小题3: However, they are formed entirely on land, breaking off when glaciers spread over the sea.As they drift away from the polar region, icebergs sometimes move mysteriously in a direction opposite to the wind.Because they melt more slowly than smaller pieces of ice, icebergs have been known to drift as far north as 35 degrees south of the equator in the Atlantic Ocean.
小题4: The difficulty exists such as its rapid melting in warmer climates.小题5:
A.Icebergs are not like sea ice, which is formed when the sea itself freezes.
B.Now it is being considered quite serious by many nations.
C.7,659 trillion metric tons of ice are floating on the sea every year.
D.But the water they could provide would be far cheaper than that produced
E.To move them to try parts of the world would not be too difficult.
F.It is not a dream to get water from Icebergs.
G.Three-quarters of the Earth’s fresh water supply is still tied up in glacial ice.
