The Supreme Court says the practice doesn’t violate(侵犯) a student’s right to privacy, but is it right for students to grade one another?
Walter Potenza, California
The Supreme Court was absolutely correct to say it’s OK for students to grade one another’s homework, quizzes, and tests: in fact, it’s a great idea.
By grading one another’s papers and seeing the problems their classmates have, students double their exposure(暴露) to the troubles that they may meet on future exams and tests. Grading one another’s papers may be one of the best ways for students to reinforce within themselves the ways to master the most difficult parts of what they are learning.
Teachers are underappreciated and underpaid for the number of hours they have to work to be able to teach really well. Grading all their students’ papers can take hours. Some of that time and energy can be saved by spending a few minutes in class, while providing an extremely valuable learning experience.
I understand that some individuals are sensitive to their classmates seeing their work or grades. Any good teacher would be considerate of students who don’t want their classmates to grade their assignments.
Winston Smith, North Carolina
A girl moves back as her classmate announces her failing test grade and hands her the paper. The quiet classroom heats up.
With the increase in student grading over the past few years, scenes like this have become a bitter reality in schools across the nation. Teachers and schools should not advocate student grading and public announcement of grades because it provides a violation of privacy for students and causes unfair judgments and treatment by their classmates.
Since 1974, a law known as the Buckley Amendment has forbidden the release of education records in order to protect the privacy of students and their families. I strongly disagree with the Court’s ruling that this law does not include student grading.
I can think of no greater violation of privacy than the exposure of one’s personal information to a group of peers(同龄人). This can be very embarrassing. Releasing this sort of personal information should be avoided, especially by institutions that seek to provide a supportive environment during essential years of human development.

解析
试题分析:文章介绍了在学校里面老师让学生之间相互批改试卷引起了社会很大的关注,最高法院宣布,学生之间相互批改试卷并没有侵犯学生的隐私,也从正反两个反面论述了不同的观点,Walter Potenza, California支持让学生之间相互批改,并说出了其中的好处,而Winston Smith, North Carolina是反对这一做法的,说出了这一做法对学生的负面影响。
小题1:C词义推测题。Grading one another’s papers may be one of the best ways for students to reinforce within themselves the ways to master the most difficult parts of what they are learning.句意为:让学生去批改别人的试卷是让学生加强他们在课堂上学到的最困难的部分的最好方法。由此句可知reinforce的最佳理解是加强的意思,加强他们在课堂上学到的东西。change vt改变,改换;imagine vt想象,设想;create vt创作,创造。故答案应为C。
小题2:D细节理解题。A girl moves back as her classmate announces her failing test grade and hands her the paper. The quiet classroom heats up.句意为:一个女孩儿移到了后面,当她的同学宣布她的失败的分数,把她的试卷给她的时候,安静的教室沸腾了起来。在这种情况下,会伤到一个学生的自尊,所以是在建议老师应该注意这种情况不要去伤害那些很敏感的学生,故答案应为D。
小题3:D细节理解题。A girl moves back as her classmate announces her failing test grade and hands her the paper. The quiet classroom heats up. With the increase in student grading over the past few years, scenes like this have become a bitter reality in schools across the nation. Teachers and schools should not advocate student grading and public announcement of grades because it provides a violation of privacy for students and causes unfair judgments and treatment by their classmates.句意为:在过去的几年里,随着学生之间相互批改作业现象的增加,象这个小女孩的情况在全国的学校里已成了痛苦的现实,老师和学校不应该主张学生之间相互批改作业公布分数等。他认为这是很痛苦的事情,所以是在呈现这一现象的负面影响。故答案应为D。
小题4:B细节理解题。I strongly disagree with the Court’s ruling that this law does not include student grading.句意为:我强烈的不同意,最高法院的这种关于学生评价的这种裁定,所以从此处是说他认为最高法院应该改变他们的决定。

举一反三
Why is he so sleepy? Because, like thousands of student “early birds” in China, he has to get up before 6 a.m. every morning.
School students usually need eight to ten hours’ sleep a night. But in Shanghai, it’s reported that 90% of the students do not get enough sleep. And studies show that without a good night’s sleep, students seem to be weaker than they should be. Many become near-sighted as a result.
Li Ming, a student at Qinghua High School, said that he usually goes to bed after 11 p.m. But when he has exams coming up, he can stay up as late as midnight. This “night bird” lifestyle has made many students nod off in class. Li Ming said that it is during afternoon classes that he feel most sleepy. “My parents are usually happy to see me studying so late,” he said. “They think I work very hard and they make me cups of coffee.”
However, not all parents are happy about this. “My daughter gets up so early. She looks tired and it really hurts me.” said one of the parents. Why don’t so many students get enough sleep? Now many members of society began to think about it.
小题1:Why did the ten-year-old boy’s mother talk about waking up her son with tears in her eyes?
A.Because her son’s lack of sleep hurt her but she had to wake him up. |
B.Because her son wasn’t good at lessons. |
C.Because she thought her son was too lazy. |
D.Because her son was badly ill. |
A.The body’s weakness. | B.Nodding off in class. |
C.Near-sighted eyes. | D.Poor academic developments. |
A.Sorry. | B.Worried. | C.Not unhappy. | D.Angry. |
A.All the parents hope their children stay up. |
B.No students complain about their lack of sleep. |
C.Most students watch TV or play computer games deep into night. |
D.Some parents are worried about the fact that most of the students don’t have enough sleep. |
Some people drink alcohol to their tension or pain. They mistakenly think that through drinking, they can from their problems and worries. But it is never a . During those hours of drinking, alcohol only numbs their senses and makes them forget their worries. However, when they wake up, their problems are still unsolved.
A alcohol drinker is running the great risks of getting heart diseases and liver failure. Too much alcohol taken into the body system, death will occur. Alcohol also affects unborn babies disastrously. Those pregnant mothers with alcohol in their blood system risk causing their unborn babies to suffer from defects (缺陷) at birth. , babies are innocent victims due to their mothers’ mistakes. Therefore they should be extremely cautious of any alcohol and it is better to all drinking during pregnancy.
Drunken driving is one of the worst of alcohol abuse. Every year, many lives are lost due to driving on roads and highways. A drunk driver cannot see and judge the distance clearly and will find it difficult to control his vision and on the road, so he fails to control over his reflexes. That is how accidents occur. Not only does he hurt himself but also other innocent road users.

The book, which is based two years’ interviews with about 600 low-income college graduates in Beijing, in mid September, about a month before an announcement from the Ministry of Human Resources and Social Security that 74% of the 6.11 million new graduates had been by Sept. 1.
For the book’s chief editor, Lian Si, a professor at the University of International Business and Economics in Beijing, that piece of statistic says about the real situation for many of these graduates. “I am always how many of these employed college graduates are leading a decent life,” Lian said. “I hope this book could offer a window on these graduates, whose stories are known.”
The setting of the book is several so-called “settlement villages for college students” on the outskirts of Beijing, large number of college graduates . Most of these graduates work for or medium-sized businesses, less than 2,000 yuan a month. They live together because it’s : the rent in these communities is only around 350 yuan a month. Many of them travel several hours a day for short-term jobs or job interviews.
Tangjialing, a small 20 kilometers from Tiananmen Square, has around 3,000 villagers, but has become a for more than 50,000 migrants, most of them from all over the country. Lian describes the students’ as five-or-six-storey buildings with two or three people crammed together in each room of about 10 square meters. Up to 70 or 80 people share the same toilet and kitchen.

The cities and regions with the lowest levels of homeownership—in the range of 55% to 60% like Los Angeles and New York—had healthier economies and higher incomes. They also had higher levels of happiness and well-being.
I was shocked to read these interesting points that Richard Florida made in his recent article. Let me try to understand. The people in Detroit and St. Louis are less happy than the people in New York, and Los Angeles. And, the reason is because of homeownership rates?
First, to compare them to New York City (the economic capital of the world), Los Angeles (the entertainment capital of the world) seems unfair. Most people in almost any other city in the world might be less happy!
Next, let’s try a different way of determining whether renters are happier than homeowners. Why don’t we ask them? Fannie Mae’s National Housing Survey 2010 reported:
75% of current renters believe owning a home makes more sense.
67% plan to buy a home at some point in the future.
When they asked current renters for the major reason to buy a house, these were their answers (they could pick several answers):
78% said it was a good place to raise children.
75% said because they would feel safe.
70% said because you have control of your own space.
If you believe renters are happier, you would also have to believe the majority enjoy living in a less safe environment, which wouldn’t be a good place to raise children and would be a place where they have less control of their space.
小题1:Which of the following is a fact?
A.People in Los Angeles earn high incomes because of its low homeownership rate. |
B.New York’s low homeownership rate increases people’s happiness levels. |
C.Detroit’s high level of homeownership causes its economic problems. |
D.St. Louis has a higher level of homeownership than Los Angeles. |
A.people in Los Angeles are happier than those in St. Louis |
B.renting a house is better than owning a house |
C.Detroit’s economy is healthier than New York’s economy |
D.New York and Los Angeles are happiest cities |
A.pay employees highest wages in America |
B.benefit from low levels of homeownership |
C.are leading cities across the globe |
D.are best American cities to live in |
A.paying rent makes more sense |
B.most homeowners plan to sell their houses |
C.most renters prefer to become homeowners |
D.parents need to buy a house for their children |
Many people who do not know about computers think of them as machines that children play with. They worry that children do not learn from experience but just from pressing a button and that this is not good for them. They think that children are growing not knowing about the real world.
But people who understand more about computers say that computers can be very good for children. A computer can help them to learn about the real world more quickly, to learn what they want to learn and think for themselves. And for the future, don’t we need people who can think clearly, who know how to get information quickly and use it well? What do you think?
小题1:“To be familiar with” means to ______.
A.know nothing | B.know about | C.dislike | D.like |
A.Yes, they do. | B.No, not everyone thinks so. |
C.They don’t know. | D.They are not sure. |
A.To think clearly, to do homework and to write. |
B.To play games, to do math and to copy. |
C.To think clearly, to get information and to use it well. |
D.To count, to clean the house and to get information. |
