听力原文： My report is on local control of schools. First, I was surprised to learn that public schools in the United States are not the same in every state or even from community to community within the state. The reason for differences in organization, curriculum, and school policies is because each school district has a governing board, called the school board, which makes the decisions about the way the schools in their district will be run. Of course, a superintendent is selected by the board to carry out policies and the superintendent is usually a professional educator, but the board, often made up of community leaders who are not professional educators, must approve the recommendations of the superintendent.

A．The national department of education.
B．School boards.
C．Public schools in the United States.
D．Local control of school.
They are involved parents, committed to their children's education—just not committed to the public schools.
The Sturgises are home-schoolers, part of a growing movement that rejects many of the practices-and, at times, the very premises—of public education. Home-schoolers believe that parents are the best teachers, that family-centered education trumps the typical K-12 experience anytime, that only by separating themselves from a cumbersome and, some say, morally corrupt system can they retain control of their children's lives.
In the past, the response of many school board members has been: "If they don't want what we offer, let them go." And on those occasions when home-schooled students asked to try out for the football team, play in the band, or enroll in high-level science classes, the response has often been "no".
But that's changing. More school districts are opening courses and extracurricular activities to home-schoolers, and the rhetoric is softening.
The district's former policy toward home-schooling "wasn't friendly at all," says Renee Sessler, a board member for the Reynolds School District, near Portland, Ore.. "It said, we're not going to do anything for you." Last year, the board opened physical education, music programs, and other activities and courses to home-schoolers.
Extracurricular activities have also been opened to home-schoolers in Palm Beach County and districts throughout Florida since a state law was passed in 1996. Now every school system in the state has a coordinator who handles relations between the district and home-schooling parents.
"I think, certainly, in the last five years or so there's a different climate," says Mike Smith, president of the Home School Legal Defense Association (HSLDA), which advocates for the interests of home-schoolers and goes to court on their behalf. "Not everywhere, but it's changing."
Why the new attitude？ For one thing, it's good public relations. As any board member knows, it's better to work with disillusioned parents than drive them farther away. And it's good business to get a portion of the full-time equivalent funding for the period that home-schoolers are in school.
From the introduction of the Sturgises, we learn that
A．their four children will be welcomed to ally school.
B．they are the typical American family pattern.
C．schools prefer the parents with good-education and enough time.
D．they will not send their children to schools.
In American city schools, how many students are absent on a dally basis？

The program is called the Global Educator Outreach or GEO, and it's a partnership between Chicago Public Schools and the U.S. Government. Because the teacher shortage in Chicago is so extreme, the Government allows the school district to temporarily hire foreign teaching candidates using H1-B visas. The Government grants these visas only to skilled foreign-born citizens so they can work in highly specialized jobs that can't be filled with available U,S, workforce.
Through the GEO, the school district has hired dozens of teachers from 22 different countries. Applicants must pass an English language test and specialize in math, science, world language or bilingual (双语的) education. Hannon and the first GEO teachers started in the classroom at the beginning of the 2000-2001 school year.
What do the GEO teachers think of the American classroom？ Harmon, who was hired to teach math at Gage Park High School, says classrooms in Chicago are very different from those in Palestine. For one thing, he says, the fixed schedule that forces students to attend the same classes at the same time each day becomes too dull. In Palestine, the class schedule changes each week. He says in Palestine, the culture forces students to work hard because if they don't they'll be kicked out and put in vocational schools, which limits their career options. There is not nearly as much pressure for American students to do well He says he has to do double the amount of work just to get his students interested.
Chicago Public Schools began to employ foreign teachers because ______.
A．there were not enough American teachers
B．a program for foreign teachers was started.
C．the school board was interested in foreign teachers
D．foreign teachers taught better than American teachers
Some schools, including Harvard, say they will accept scores from either the new test or the old SAT, which was administered for the last time in January and did not contain a writing section. The University of Central Florida, for example, will require the new test, which will be given for the first time on March 12. Still others, such as the University of Virginia, strongly recommend that prospective applicants take the new test but under some circumstances also will accept the old SAT. A number of colleges are delaying a decision. The College Board, which administers the SAT, surveyed more than 1,900 four-year schools and has heard back from slightly more than 500. Of those, 81% say they will require the new test, including schools such as Harvard that are giving students a choice in what will be a year of transition.
"Anything new goes through a special lens of evaluation," says Lee Stetson, admissions dean at the University of Pennsylvania, which judiciously will use results from the new writing section until officials have a chance to study the revised SAT's predictive validity.
A number of admissions deans are skeptical that the new exam will be an improvement. Charles Deacon, dean of undergraduate admissions at Georgetown University, says adding the essay "will create more barriers to poor kids who are less well-prepared". The test was rushed to market because the University of California system, a major College Board customer, threatened to stop requiting the SAT, he says. The test "was developed and marketed for all the wrong reasons". Deacon, who says he has been "badgered" by the College Board to endorse the new exam, has refused to do so.
Some schools, including Georgetown, Iowa's Grinnell College and Pennsylvania's Franklin and Marshall College, say that at least for now, they will not even look at scores from the writing section when making admission decisions. "We have adopted a wait-and-see attitude," says Dennis Trotter of Franklin and Marshall.
College Board officials counter that based on extensive field tests, they are confident the test is as reliable a predictor of freshman-year performance as the old SAT. Moreover, they say, well-trained scorers, many of them, high school English teachers, will grade the essays, which students have 25 minutes to write.
Amidst all the confusion, what should students do？ Admissions deans and school counselors say to be sure to check with each college for requirements.
If a student took the old SAT in January, he has to take another test if he applies for
A．University of Virginia.
B．Georgetown University.
C．The University of Central Florida.
D．Harvard University.
Where is the John Street Bistro located？
A．Near a shopping mall
B．Near a fire station
C．Near a school
D．Near a post office

听力原文： Once again in Richfield Heights today, there were no classes in the public elementary and secondary schools. This marks the eleventh day that the schools in that community have remained closed. Teachers are still on strike despite thc back-to-work order issued yesterday by the District Court. A spokesperson for the Teachers' Union stated at a press conference today that the strike would continue until such time as the School Committee agrees to a public hearing to settle the dispute, According to the spokesperson, wages are not an issue in the dispute. At issue is a new rule passed by the School Committee, which eliminates paid sick leave from the teachers' contract. Under the new contract, teachers would receive no salary for any day on which they failed to appear due to illness, School administrators, on the other hand, would continue to receive fifteen days of paid sick leave annually. The Parent Board, which was initially sympathetic to the teachers' position, has urged the teachers to return to work until a settlement can be reached. Spokespersons for the School Committee are refusing to comment on the latest developments.
