over the US. Some students attend about 3000 independent public schools called charter schools.
Charter schools are self-governing. Private companies operate some charter schools. They are similar
in some ways to traditional public schools. They receive tax money just as other public schools do.
Charter schools must prove to local or state governments that their students are learning. These
governments provide the schools with the agreement called a charter that permits them to operate.
Charter schools are different because they do not have to obey most laws governing traditional public
schools. Local state, or federal governments cannot tell them what to teach. Each school can choose its
own goals and decide the ways it wants to reach them. Class size is usually smaller than in traditional
public schools.
The Bush Administration strongly supports charter schools as a way to re-organize public schools that
are failing to educate students. But some education agencies and unions oppose charter schools. One
teachers" union has just made public the results of the first national study comparing the progress of
students in traditional schools and charter schools.
The American Federation of Teachers criticized the government"s delay in releasing the results of the
study, which is called the National Assessment of Educational Progress. Union education experts say the
study shows that charter school students performed worse on math and reading tests than students in
regular public schools.
Some experts say the study is not a fair look at charter schools because students in those schools have more problems than students in traditional schools. Other education experts say the study results should
make charter school officials demand improved student progress.

C. Students in charter schools are well educated.

understand and learn the information that is being conveyed. 1 Here are some things which can help
you to listen actively.
◆Listen for the main point and major subpoints. 2 Listen carefully and make sure you understand
what the purpose of this lecture is. As you take down notes, keep the main point in mind and make sure
you understand how these notes are related.
◆Listen for an organizational structure. Listen carefully to figure out how the ideas are organized and
they will make more sense.
◆Pay attention to organizational cues. 3 Pay close attention to the introduction, as it will
probably indicate how you should organize your notes. If the lecture begins with, "Today I"m going to
talk about three ethnic conflicts in the Middle East," then you have a good idea of what"s going to follow.
Listen for "signpost" words to indicate a transition for one point to the next, such as "next" and "finally"
and numerical signposts like "first" or "third".
◆Listen with your eyes. 4 Watch the teacher and be aware of how he or she uses hand gestures, eye contact and other body language to convey points.
◆Remove distractions. Put away the campus newspaper, your cell phone and anything else that
might be more interesting than the lecturer.
Learning to concentrate and listen actively is an endurance skill. 5
B. Unfortunately, many students don"t know how to listen actively when they attend classes.
C. If your teacher indicates that something is important, mark it.
D. Make yourself do it, and it will get easier over time.
E. Listen carefully for words and phrases that reflect the organizational structure of the lecture.

leave your biological body and live in silicon circuits (半导体电路). But long before then, perhaps as
early as 2020,some measures will begin offering a semblance of immortality (虚的永生).
Researchers are confident that the technology will soon be able to track every waking moment of your
life?Whatever you see and hear,all that you say and write,can be recorded,analyzed and added to your
personal chronicles (履历). By the year 2030,it may be possible to catch your nervous systems through
electrical activities,which would also keep your thoughts and emotions.
Researchers at the laboratories of British Telecommunications have given the name of this idea as
Soul Catcher.Small electronic equipment will make preparation for Soul Catcher.It would use a wearable
supercomputer,perhaps in a wristwatch, with wireless links to microseosors under your scalp (头皮) and
in the nerves that carry all five sensory signals.So wearing a video camera would no longer be required.
At first,the Soul Catcher"s companion system-the Soul Reader-might have trouble copying your
thoughts in complete details. Even in 2030,we may still be struggling to understand how the brain is
working inside, so reading your thoughts and understanding your emotions might not be possible. But
these signals could be kept for the day when they can be transferred to silicon circuits to revitalize minds
everlasting entities (永生实体). Researchers can only wonder what it will be like to wake up one day
and find yourself alive inside a machine.
For people who choose not to live in silicon,semblance of immortal ity would not be as useless as they
thought.People would know their lives would not be forgotten, but would be kept a record of the human
race forever.And future generations would have a much fuller understanding of the past.History would
not be controlled by just the rich and powerful, Hollywood stars,and a few thinkers in the upper society.
B. there are many difficulties in making the Soul Catcher
C. people can live forever as technology develops
D. the invention of Soul Catcher has great importance
B. a new invention in order to catch and keep human"s thoughts
C. made by British scientists to offer something that looks like living forever
D. made of silicon circuits which can catch people"s nervous activity
B. far from certain
C. just an idea that couldn"t be realized at all
D. a fading hope
B. make famous
C. make known
D. make active

Some parents like the idea of uniforms. Some say it means they do not have to spend much on clothing for their kids. Others, though, argue that uniforms represent an unnecessary cost.
There are also debates about whether uniforms or other dress rules go against civil rights. Students and parents have taken legal action against school dress requirements. At the beginning of this July, a middle school was asked to stop its dress rule unless families have a way out of it. The American Civil Liberties Union of Northern California brought the case for the families of several students who had been punished by the school. Most attention centered on a girl who wore socks with the Tigger character from Winnie the Pooh. The school said its clothing rules, including no pictures of any kind, were needed to control a growing problem with gangs. The families argued that the policy went against free speech rights as protected by the United States and California constitutions (宪法).
The United States Supreme Court says student expression is protected as long as it does not harm the work and the rule of a school. But some educators believe dressing alike helps improve student learning. They believe that uniforms help create a sense of unity and reduce the risk of fights. They also say uniforms make it easier for security reasons to tell if someone belongs to the school or not.
B. most public schools move in the direction of requiring uniforms at church
C. most schools require the students to be dressed in white shirts and dark colored pants
D. more and more schools have a dress rule about what are suitable for schoolchildren
B. Some parents think the rule has nothing to do with them.
C. Some parents say that uniforms are an extra cost for them.
D. Some others argue that uniforms or other dress rules go against civil rights.
B. She put Tigger into her shoes in class.
C. She wore socks with pictures.
D. She had a problem with some gangs.
B. students focus on their studies
C. make a united effort to avoid fights
D. strengthen campus security
English will be quite perfect.
This is a difficult task. However, if you try to learn by heart only part of each lesson, you"ll find it not
half so hard as you might have thought.
Learning this way, you will make rapid progress. Of course, writing is also necessary. It helps you a
lot on our way to success in English.
Equally important is to feel the language. You should be able to laugh at jokes and be shocked at bad
news. When using English, you should try to forget your mother tongue. Instead of helping you, your own
language gets in your way. So, never try to see English through translation.
B. To forget your own native language
C. To translate everything into his own language
D. To memorize the English words and grammatical rules
your own language can ______.
B. Stop you mastering English
C. Make English easy to learn
D. Help you notice mistakes
B. to be able to read and write English
C. To translate English into your own by imagining
D. To be able to experience the rich sensation of the language
