2、d elite(精英,精华 . Schools ale expected to meet the needs of every child, regardless of ability, and also the needs of society itself. This means that public schools offer more than academic subjects. It surprises many people when they come here to find high schools offering such courses as typing, sew
3、ing , radio repair, computer programming or driver training , along with traditional academic subjects such as mathematics , history, and languages. Students choose their curricula(课程 depending on their interests, future goals, and level of ability. The underlying(潜在的 goal of American education is t
4、o develop every child to the utmost of his or her own possibilities, and to give each one a sense of civic and community consciousness.Schools have traditionally played an important role in creating national unity and “Americanizing” the millions of immigrants who have poured into this country from
5、many different backgrounds and origins. Schools still play a large role in the community, especially in the small towns . The approach to teaching may seem unfamiliar to many, not only because it is informal, but also because there is not much emphasis on learning facts. Instead , Americans try to t
6、each their children to think for themselves and to develop their own intellectual and creative abilities. Students spend much time, learning how to use resource materials libraries, statistics and computers. Americans believe that if children are taught to reason well and to research well, they will
7、 be able to find whatever facts they need throughout the rest of their lives . Knowing how to solve problems is considered more important than the accumulation of facts . This is Americas answer to the searching question that thoughtful parents all over the world are asking themselves in the fast-mo

CIts special consideration given to immigrants.DIts underlying goal to develop every childs abilities to the fullest extentThe common cold is the worlds most widespread illness, which is plagues (瘟疫 that flesh receives. The most
13、 widespread fallacy (谬误 of all is that colds are caused by cold. They are not. They are caused by viruses (病毒 passing on from person to person. You catch a cold by coming into contact, directly or indirectly, with someone who already has one. If cold causes colds, it would be reasonable to expect th
14、e Eskimos to suffer from them forever. But they do not. And in isolated arctic regions explorers have reported being free from colds until coming into contact again with infected people from the outside world by way of packages and mail dropped from airplanes.During the First World War soldiers who
15、spent long periods in the trenches (战壕 cold and wet, showed no increased tendency to catch colds.In the Second World War prisoners at the notorious Auschwitz concentration camp (奥斯维辛集中营 , naked and starving, were astonished to find that they seldom had colds.At the Common Cold Research Unit in Engla
16、nd, volunteers took part in Experiments in which they gave themselves to the discomforts of being cold and wet for long stretches of time. After taking hot baths, they put on bathing suits, allowed themselves to be dipped with cold water, and then stood about dripping wet in drafty room. Some wore w
17、et socks all day while others exercised in the rain until close to exhaustion. Not one of the volunteers came down with a cold unless a cold virus was actually dropped in his nose. If, then, cold and wet have nothing to do with catching colds, why are they more frequent in the winter? Despite the mo
18、st pains- research, no one has yet found the answer. One explanation offered by scientists is that people tend to stay together indoors more in cold weather than at other times, and this makes it easier for cold viruses to be passed on.No one has yet found a cure for the cold. There are drugs and pa
19、in suppressors (止痛片 such as aspirin, but all they do is relieve the symptoms (症状 .6. The writer offered _ examples to support his argument.A. 4 B. 5 C. 6 D. 37.

23、cer says for it, the first step is to present the warranty(保单 ,or any other records that might help, at the store of buying. In most cases, this action will produce results. However, if it doesnot, there are various means the consumer may use to gain satisfaction.A simple and common method used by m
24、any consumers is to complain(投诉 directly to the store manager. In general, the “higher up” the consumer takes his or her complaint, the faster he or she can expect it to be settled. In such a case, it is usually settled in the consumers favour, taking it as true that he or she has a just right.Consu
25、mers should complain in person whenever possible, but if they cannot get to the place of buying, it is acceptable to phone or write the complaint in a letter.Complaining is usually most effective when it is done politely but firmly, and especially when the consumer can show clearly what is wrong wit
26、h what was bought in question. If this cannot be done, the consumer will succeed best by presenting specific information as to what is wrong, rather than by making general statements. For example,“The left speaker does not work at all and the sound coming out of the right one is unclear” is better t
27、han “This stereo(立体音响 does not work.”.The store manager may advise the consumer to write to the producer, if so, the consumer should do this, stating the complaint as politely and as firmly as possible. But if a polite complaint does not achieve the expected result, the consumer can go a step furthe

Perhaps we all do sometimes, but we dont often make the idea a reality. Recently, in Britain, there was a comp
33、etition called British Designers for Tomorrow. The competition encourages young people to carry out their bright ideas. There were two groups in the contest. Group One was for school children under 16; Group Two was for school children over 16. And there were eleven prize-winners altogether.Neil Hun
34、t, one of the prize winners, was called “Sunshine Superman.” Its important when people studythe weather to be able to record sunshine accurately. We need to know how many hours of sunshine we have and how strong it is. Most sunshine recorders only record direct sunlight. Neils is more accurate and t
35、his is very important for research into the way of using solar power.You can do so much with animated cartoon. Look at Simon Wests idea for animated road signs. He uses pictures which appear to move as you go nearer to or father from them. This isnt a new idea. But it is new to use these pictures on
36、 road signs. “ We found that people were more likely to see moving signs,” said Simon. So now, you can really see rocks falling, trains moving, horses running or a car falling over the edge of a cliff.
