We were looking at a high of eight degrees that week, and I had missed three days of work so my paycheck was going to be lower than normal. I was stressed, to say th
94、e least. I shopped strategically, looking for every possible way to cut pennies so I could buy groceries and keep the house warm. My eight-year-old son didnt understand when I told him we were struggling that week. He wanted a special kind of yoghurt, but I didnt have the extra three dollars to buy
95、it for him. It was the kind of yoghurt with a cartoon kid riding a skateboard on the front of the box, and a mere two spoonfuls in each cup. It was the kind of product that wastes a parents money and makes me hate advertising. I felt guilty as a parent when those big eyes looked at me with confusion
96、, as if to say, “Its just yoghurt. Whats the big deal? ” So I found a way. I put something back as single mothers often do. He got his yoghurt.

99、m, why are you so generous to this stranger while so mean to me when I asked for a yoghurt? ” I explained that if we were blind to the poor mans situation he would be freezing. He didnt have a home or food to eat after all. We could spare five dollars even if we were financially stressed. Finally my
100、 son nodded and fixed his eyes on his yoghurt. On that day, my son performed an act that most adults wouldnt have done. He took his yoghurt and handed it to the man outside his window. Even if it was a matter of a few spoonfuls of yoghurt, it was all he had, and he gave it to someone who needed it m

102、e from high school. In the last few years, however, a number of states in America have dropped them. Although some states still use them for diplomas, the number is down from a high of 27 states during the testing craze promoted by No Child Left Behind (NCLB). The appearance of this phenomenon is sm

Thus, more and more people are suggesting that exit test scores ought to be just one component of the high school diplom
107、a. Schools should consider many other records including credits earned, courses taken, activities, service, projects and other elements of academic accomplishment so that students can be evaluated flexibly. In other words, exit test scores should never be the only criterion for high school diplomas.
108、 _【参考范文】High school exit tests have been cancelled in some states in America in recent years. This is not surprising because studies show they do little good to students. Instead of ensuring college readiness and academic success, they actually dont measure what should be measured. Therefore, exit test scores should only be one part of the standards of high school diplomas.
