34、onds a student drops out of high school. Every day 7,000 students walk out on their education. One third of all students fail to graduate from high school. And most low-income students who start college never finish.These are some big problems. And in September, big names from business, entertainmen
35、t and politics gathered to help solve these problems at a conference held in California. The event centered on the launch of Get Schooled, a program started by the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation. The five-year program is aimed at helping more high school kids graduate so that they can succeed lat
36、er in life.Time for Kids was there for the red-carpet arrivals and important speeches, as well as for the screening of a new 30-minute documentary called “Get Schooled: You Have the Right.”Comedian Stephen Colbert hosted the event. He started the program by bringing out Bill Gates, founder of comput
37、er giant Microsoft. “We couldnt be having this conversation at a better time,” Gates told the audience. “The action crisis is damaging our ability to compete in the global economy and we need to do more to engage all Americans from policymakers and corporate leaders to families and young people in o
38、ur efforts to support students in completing their education and achieving their dreams.” Gates explained some Get Schooled plans in a presentation about building new schools and making existing schools better.Musician Jason Halbert, Clarksons bandleader, said his most inspirational teacher was his
39、sixth-grade band director. “I told him all my drams about being a keyboard player, and even though they didnt have one in the band, he was willing to let me play on the side of the field by the marching band,” Halbert explained. “He taught me that if you have desire and passion, sometimes you have t
40、o be creative and think of new ways to accomplish your goals.”The U.S. Deputy Secretary of Education, Miller, said the greatest challenge to making the Get Schooled program work was to “make sure we have the best teachers working with the kids who have the biggest learning challenges. If youre a stu
41、dent not learning as fast as some of the others, you really need a better-than-average teacher to help you. Thats a big part of our goals.”58. Why is Get Schooled launched in the United States?A. Many graduates cant find jobs in the crisis.B. Many high school students drop out of school.C. Americas
42、education is in great financial crisis.D. Many students cant finish the university education.59. Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?A. Quite a few famous people attended the conference.B. Jasons sixth-grade teacher had a strong influence on him.C. The Bill and Melinda Gates
43、Foundation was set up to help dropouts.D. Bill Gates gave a speech to encourage more people to support the program.60. Miller thinks the biggest problem that Get Schooled faces is _.A. lacking the best teachers B. lacking modern equipmentC. lacking the government supportD. lacking better-than-averag
44、e studentsCIn one Hong Kong secondary school every candidate for a teaching post is asked the question, “What are you views on discipline in and outside the classroom?”The future teacher may answer, “I believe in great freedom in the classroom, pretty much allowing the students to do their own thing
45、 in the subject Im teaching.” That man will not be employed.Why not? Because even though he may arouse (引起) the interests of the students and that is good he, nevertheless, is guilty of not leading the students interests along the necessary and useful way of full comprehension of their subject.Imagi
46、ne a singing or a boxing student who practiced on his own and only came to an instructor sometimes for encouragement. Good instruction demands specific details on the best methods to follow and the dangers to guard against. And, so, while permissiveness (放任) in the classroom may benefit a few bright
47、 students, it is hardly believed to benefit the majority and excite those having no interest.A syllabus (教学大纲) and a workbook are necessary tools. And if used intelligently and imaginatively, they will help all students. No teacher may neglect the whole training procedure and yet every teacher fit f
48、or his job must encourage the better students to advance beyond the limits of an assigned course by the teacher.Will todays young person accept discipline? He will if he sees examples of the good results of it. Is there any difficulty getting students for medical, law and engineering schools, pilots
49、 for planes and ships? Can you imagine any other professional men who must go through a more strict training?Here is a picture of the life a Marine recruit (新兵) for six or more months. He comes to a camp. His hair is cut to the scalp (头皮). His new uniform is thrown at him. He gets hundreds of orders
50、 daily. He is punished frequently; he may never give any excuses. He gets up at six in the morning, exercises for an hour, eats, runs to his barracks (营房) to make his bed, clean up, clean his gun and if a dirty mark of the dust is found on it, he may have to clean it a dozen more times or sweep the
51、floor of the barracks with a toothbrush. His day with duties, drills and details continues without rest till at 10:00 p.m. And then he falls tired out into bed.Does he love doing these things? No, he hates them. Why does he do them? Because he knows that after he has finished training he will belong
52、 to the best group of soldiers in the world. Behind all the strict discipline he knows there is a reason: He is being prepared for any job he may be called upon to do with the least possible danger to arms, legs and life.61. The writer says that a teacher who believes in great freedom in the classro
53、om will not be employed because _.A. he excites only very few students interestsB. his teaching will probably be of no interestC. he depends too much on teaching tools and follows the required courseD. he will not give his students a full knowledge of the subject he is teaching62.

Discipline in Hong Kong secondary schoolsDA group of Italian soldiers led by a captain were advancing slowly toward the position of the enemy. They were
57、expecting to see in the distance some signs of the enemy. They arrived at a farmhouse, in front of which sat a small boy. The boy was cutting a branch of a tree with his knife to make a stick.When the boy saw the soldiers, he stopped working on the branch, stood up, and took off his cap. He was a ha
58、ndsome boy with large bright eyes and fair hair.“What are you doing here?” asked the captain. “Why didnt you leave with your family?”“I dont have any family,” said the boy. “Im an orphan. I used to work for the family that lived here. Theyve gone, but I stayed in order to see the fighting.”“Have you
59、 seen any Austrians pass by here?”“Not within the last three days.”The captain got off his horse, and went into the house. His head soon appeared out of one of the second storey windows, from where he could see nothing but trees. In front of the house was a tall tree, its top well above the tops of
60、the other trees. The captain came out and asked the boy:“Do you have good eyesight, young man?”“Me?” asked the boy. “I can see a sparrow (麻雀) two hundred paces away.”“Do you think you could climb that tree and tell me whether you see anything of the Austrians in the distance?”“Sure,” said the boy ea
61、gerly, jumping up, kicking off his shoes, and throwing aside his cap.“How much do you want for that?” asked the captain.“I dont want anything,” said the boy, already starting to climb the tree. “I would do anything for our soldiers.”In a few minutes the boy was at the top of the tree.“Look straight
62、ahead,” cried the captain, “and tell me what you see.”“Two men on horseback nothing else.”“How far away?”“About a mile and a half. Theyre standing still.”“What else do you see?” asked the captain after a moment of silence.The boy looked to the right. After a while he said: “Near the cemetery, betwee
63、n the trees, theres something shining, perhaps bayonets (刺刀).”“Do you see any soldiers?”“No, if there are any, they must be hidden among the trees.”Just then there was the sharp whistle of a bullet which passed near the boy.“Get down!” said the captain.Another bullet whistled by.“Theyre shooting at
64、me,” said the boy. “But dont worry. Let me tell you whats to the left. Well, theres a church and I think I see ”A third bullet passed, and at almost the same moment the boy was seen to fall suddenly from the tree. He struck the ground heavily. Blood was trickling from his mouth. The captain ran to h
65、im and tore open the boys shirt. A bullet had passed through his chest on the left. The boy opened his eyes for a moment, looked at the captain, and then died.“Poor boy!” said the captain over and over. He looked at the boy for a minute. He ordered a soldier to bring a national flag and covered the
66、boys body with it, leaving only his face exposed. The captain collected the boys cap, shoes, knife, and the branch he had been cutting, and placed them near the boys body.“Well send someone to pick him up,” said the captain. “He died like a soldier and we must bury him like a soldier.”The captain an
67、d his group moved on, but the story of the little boy spread quickly. Later that afternoon other groups of soldiers moved up to the front. When they passed the place where the dead boy lay, each soldier saluted. Some of them placed flowers on the boys body. Soon it was covered with flowers. On the b
