A technical secondary school in Nanjing, east China’s Jiangsu province, planned to order Korean-style school uniforms for students, but parents opposed the move, believing that the new uniforms looked too good and would encourage early romances among the students, the Jinling Evening Paper reported Monday.
Parents
“My daughter was so excited about the Korean-style uniform, saying it’s her dream to wear mini-skirt to school every day,” a mom surnamed Cheng complained. “My daughter also called her classmates to talk about how handsome the boys looked in the uniform!”
Cheng looked on the Internet and found that most Korean schoolboy uniforms are similar to western suits. “They are so handsome! My daughter is a fan of Korean fashion, that’s why she is crazy about the uniform!” Cheng said. “If the students wear such beautiful uniforms, how can they study well? I prefer the sports wear which makes me think of health and positive thinking.”
School
“The plan to change the current school uniform from sports wear has been cancelled,” an employee of the school told the Jinling Evening Paper.
“The students dislike the current uniform, so the school took advice from the students last November, knowing that most of students prefer Korean-or Japanese-style school uniforms. We know cities like Shanghai and Guangzhou have changed their sports wear school uniforms to more fashionable uniforms,” an employee surnamed Lin said.
“However, we had to stop the plan because many parents are strongly against it. Some parents think it’s just a way for the school to make money, and others think the new uniforms will take students’ attention away from their studies,” Lin said.
When asked about the possibility of problems with early romance between students because of the more fashionable uniforms, Lin said he hadn’t considered it. He, however, agreed that the Korean-style uniform makes the students more charming.
Students
The students are very disappointed about the school’s final decision. They think the sports wear uniforms make them look androgynous (难分性别).
They said the Korean-style uniform has many advantages such as raising interest in class; lifting confidence; improving solidarity and creating good temperaments.
As for concerns about romance, the students believe that love is love and bears no relationship to the uniform.
Education department
“We don’t have a unified (统一的) standard for school uniforms. The schools can choose their own styles. Either sports wear or uniforms are ok,” an official from the Nanjing Bureau of Education said.

第三部分 任务型阅读(二)(共10小题;每小题1分,满分10分)
Fairview Elementary School, Modesto, California, with some 1,000 students from kindergarten through sixth grade (about 80 percent of them Latino), has long suffering from discipline problems, poor test scores, and a near total lack of parental involvement. The difficulties aren't surprising given that many of the parents -- immigrants who work on farms or in factories -- speak little or no English.
Since 2002, Fairview Elementary School has been a First Amendment School, one of 97 developed across the country by the First Amendment Center. The idea behind the five-year-old program: To keep America strong, children must be trained to respect many points of view, weigh complex issues, and understand the freedoms guaranteed by the Constitution(宪法) .As students learn good citizenship, the theory goes, they'll develop the skills and attitude to do well academically.
Fairview students enjoy "freedoms" other kids might envy (they voted to abolish school uniforms, for example). But the children don't just exercise rights. They also accept such responsibilities as speaking up during class discussions, and keeping the school clean and safe (Fairview is rated the cleanest of 33 schools in its district). In one departure from tradition, there's no hand-raising in class. "Instead," says teacher Deborah Supnet, "we teach them to listen for when the other child stops talking," Call it an exercise in respect.
Last year, the number of students evaluated advanced in math increased, from 15 to 30 percent. And Fairview graduates in their first middle-school mid-term exam averaged B grades; 96 percent passed all subjects. Particularly encouraging to Principal Rob Williams, the school now has an active parents' group, Parents With a Voice. One of those parents, Laura Malagon, praises the program for convincing her to play a more active role in her children's school life.

Today, in many high schools, teaching is now a technical miracle of computer labs, digital cameras, DVD players and laptops. Teachers can e-mail parents, post messages for students on online bulletin(公告,告示) boards, and take attendance with a quick movement of a mouse.
Even though we are now living in the digital age, the basic and most important element of education has not changed. Most students still need that one-on-one, teacher-student relationship to learn and to succeed. Teenagers need instruction in English, math or history, but they also want personal advice and encouragement. Kids talk with me about their families, their weekend plans, their favorite TV shows and their relationship problems. In my English and journalism classes, we talk about Shakespeare and persuasive(富有哲理的) essays, but we also discuss college basketball, the war in Iraq and career choices. Students show me pictures of their rebuilt cars, their family vacations, and their newborn baby brothers. This personal connection is the necessary link between teachers and students that no amount of technology can improve upon or replace.
A few years ago I had a student in sophomore English who was struggling with my class and with school in general. Although he was a humorous young man who liked to joke around, I knew his family life was far from ideal. Whenever I approached him about missing homework or low test grades, he always had the same reply, “It doesn't matter because I'm quitting school anyway.” Even though he always said this in a half-teasing way, I knew he needed to hear my different opinion and my “value of a high school education” lecture. He needed to hear this speech from me. After he left my class, he struggled through the next two years of school. But, he did finally graduate because we kept telling him to hang in there. We’d cared about him finishing school.
Recently, I saw this former student working at a local Italian restaurant. I told him again how proud I was of him. He said that he was hoping to go back to school to become a certified electrician. I encouraged him to get that training.
Students rely on compassionate teachers to guide, to tutor, to listen, to laugh and to cry with them. Teachers provide the most important link in the educational process—the human one.
1.The first paragraph mainly talks about _____________.
A. the variety of modern teaching methods.
B. the wide use of modern technology in education
C. the importance of teacher-parent relationship.
D. the importance of using modern technology.
2.The underlined word “ compassionate” in Para 5 means ____________.
A. ambitious B. knowledgeable C. sympathetic D. generous
3. According to the text, the most important element in education is _________.
A. teachers’ good instruction B. advanced technology
C. teachers’ encouragement D. personal connection
4.The author states his view of education by __________.
A. example B. description C. figure D. comparison

On Oct. 2, carpentry students from Harvard H. Ellis Technical High School(ET)in the United States were putting the finishing touches on a handicapped ramp(残疾人坡道)at Northeast Placement Services. It was a thing of beauty, leading from a deck outside one building to the entryway of the new Community Education Center.
Students started the project a year ago, in April. ET has a rotating(循环的)schedule-two weeks of academic work followed by two weeks of shop work(车间工作). For this ramp, some students were required to cut wood on a table saw. Others needed to cut a piece of deck railing to fill a gap. Department Head Jim Gallow moved among them, answering questions.
Their academic schedule made it difficult to finish the job very quickly. During the summer, work stopped altogether.
Senior Gabe Martel didn’t know he wanted to be a carpenter when he first arrived at ET. He soon found that the hands-on activity suited him.
“I knew I wanted a trade,” he said. “From day one, I thought carpentry was amazing.”
“There were a few tough people,” said Tristan Madden. “You have to learn to work with people.”
At the end of a job, there are just a few items to finish. Everyone else gets assigned clean-up duties.
Timothy Carpentier knew he wanted to be a carpenter since the sixth grade. He’d spent time working on projects with his father.
“I’d go to Home Depot when they taught things,” he said. “It was fun. Now, this is preparing me for the workforce”
“It’s rewarding to see what the students produce,” Gallow said.
The next project will be at the Brooklyn Fairgrounds, where students will rebuild a portion of the main stage. They’ll work through the winter months, unless it’s brutally cold.
“Like I tell them, you have to eat in the winter, too,” he said.
1.what do we know about ET’s project at Northeast Placement Services?
A.It took no more than one year to complete.
B.It is inside a building for disabled people.
C.Students designed it on their own.
D.Students had to put theory into practice.
2.What did Martel get from this project?
A.It helped him choose a career for the future.
B.It taught him to get along with people.
C.It prepared him for his dream job.
D.It taught him how to make a plan.
3.What was Gallows attitude toward the students’ product?
A.Doubtful. B.Satisfied.
C.Unconcerned. D.Disappointed
4.What does the underlined word “brutally” in the second to the last paragraph?
A.Warmly. B.Generally.
C.Extremely. D.Slightly.

Homework will not be a concern for pupils attending a pioneering new secondary school in Norfolk. Instead, the 1,100 children will stay longer at school, doing extra study at school as part of the extended school day, which could last until about 5 pm.
Rather than setting homework that pupils could struggle with at home, where there may be limited access to computers, they will do that as independent study in the day. When they go home they should enjoy quality family time. That has been really well received by parents who respect the fact that family time will be family time. But the school would still expect youngsters to study at home ahead of important exams.
Independent learning at school would ensure equality because kids who get help with homework from parents might rely on others too much.
Peter Devonish , a teacher at the school, said, “Having the children at school a bit longer to strengthen their learning is a really good idea, because they can have their time with the family.” But he warned. “A disadvantage is that our school is in the countryside, which means it’s not so perfect to get children home at that time.”
Mr. Devonish said they also set pupils project-based homework, such as looking at an energy-efficient house, which allowed them to combine independent study with working with their parents.
Craig Morrison, another teacher, said, “A large problem with homework has been that not enough is done with it. With homework, a lot of effort can go into it, so it’s about celebrating what children do rather than processing it in terms of marking it and handing it back.”
1.How will students spend their longer days at school?
A. They will do homework on computers.
B. They will study all by themselves.
C. They will have fun with teachers.
D. They will prepare for exams.
2.Why is the new idea well accepted by some parents?
A. Because it helps kids with their homework.
B. Because kids will be educated well at school.
C. Because kids will enjoy quality family time.
D. Because parents can have more time to rest.
3.What is Mr. Devonish worried about?
A. The students may get home late.
B. No staff would like to stay till 5 pm.
C. More teachers will be needed.
D. The students may dislike the idea.
4.The passage is mainly about _______ .
A. teachers who are asked to stay at school longer
B. a school where children stay longer for homework
C. homework which students have to deal with
D. students who like spending time with teachers

Last summer, I participated in the Secondary School Program in Harvard. I spent half of the day in my class and homework, and then I'd be free to do I wanted. Since my course was a 8-credit one, it was a lot faster than other summer school course. I had to learn how to keep up with it the pace of my class and study efficient. For me, taking notes were of great help. I also come to know many professors who were available for extra help whenever I needed it. The resources and opportunities combined with the environment here made me want to attending Harvard even more.
