In communities north of Denver, residents are pitching in to help teachers and adminis-tra

tors as the Vrain school District tries to solve a $13.8 million budget shortage blamed on mismanagement. "We're worried about our teachers and principals, and we really don't want to lose them because of this," one parent said. "If we can help ease their financial burden, we will."

Teachers are grateful, but know it may be years before the district is solvent(有综合能力的). They feel really good about the parent support, but they realize it's impossible for them to solve this problem.

The 22,000,people district discovered the shortage last month. "It's extraordinary. Nobody would have imagined something happening like this at this level," said State Treasure Mike Coffman. Coffman and district officials last week agreed on a state emergency plan freeing up a $9.8 million loan that enabled the payroll (工资单)to be met for 2,700 teachers and staff in time for the holidays.

District officials also took $1.7 million from student-activity accounts its 38 schools.

At Coffman's request, the District Attorney has begun investigating the district's finances. Coffman says he wants to know whether district officials hid the budget shortage until after the November election, when voters approved a $212 million bond issue for schools.

In Frederick, students' parents are buying classroom supplies and offering to pay for groceries and utilities to keep first-year teachers and principals in their jobs.

Some $36,000 has been raised in donations from Safeway. A Chevrolet dealership donated $10,000 and forgave the district's $10,750 bill for renting the driver educating cars. IBM contributed 4,500 packs of paper.

"We employ thousands of people in this community," said Mitch Carson, a hospital chief executive, who helped raise funds, "We have children in the school; and we see how they could be affected."

At Creek High School, three students started a website that displays newspaper articles, district information and an email forum (论坛). "Rumors about what's happening to the district are moving at lighting speed," said a student, "We wanted to know the truth, and spread that around instead."

What has happened to the Vrain School District?

A.A huge financial problem has arisen.

B.Many schools there arc mismanaged.

C.Lots of teachers in the district are planning to quit.

D.Many administrative personnel have been laid off.

One of these pioneer ecologists was Frederick Clements, who studied ecology extensively th
roughout the Midwest and other areas in North America. He held that within any given region of climate, ecological communities tended to slowly converge toward a single endpoint, which he called the "climatic climax." This "climax" community was, in Clementss mind, the most well-balanced, integrated grouping of species that could occur within that particular region. Clements even thought that the process of ecological succession—the replacement of some species by others over time—was somewhat akin to the development of an organism, from embryo to adult. Clements thought that succession represented discrete stages in the development of the community(rather like infancy, childhood, and adolescence), terminating in the climatic "adult" stage, when the community became self-reproducing and succession ceased. Clementss view of the ecological community reflected the notion of a precise balance of nature.

In paragraph 5, why does the author mention green ash trees and plains cottonwood trees?

A.To support the current view about how ecological communities develop

B.To provide an example of species that prefer to live on floodplains

C.To provide evidence that supports the theory of Clements

D.To show where one ecological community stops and the other begins

Until recently, the most common formin North America was the nuclear family, consisting of a married couple withtheir minor children. The nuclear family is an independent unit.

There is littlehelp from outside the family in emergencies.Elderly relatives of a nuclearfamily are cared for only if it is possible for the family to do so. In North America,the elderly often do not live with the family;they live in retirement communities and nursing homes. There are many parallels between the nuclear family inindustrial societies, such as North America,and of families in societies suchas that of the Inuits,who live in harsh environments.

Historically, although the children of immigrants may have grown up bilingual and bicultur
al, many did not pass on much of their parents' language or culture to their own children. Thus, many grandchildren of immigrants do not speak the language of the old country and are "American" by culture. However, in some parts of the country with established communities that share a common language or culture, bilingualism and biculturalism continue. This is particularly true in communities where new immigrants are still arriving. In general, cultural pluralism (多元化) is more accepted in the United States today than it was in the first half of the 20th century, and many of the school systems have developed bilingual programs and multicultural curricula.

At the close of the 20th century, there seemed to be a rise in the consciousness of ethnic groups around the world, and a sense of pride in what makes them unique. This occurs in the United States among many different groups, and in some cases it has resulted in new names to symbolize each group's identity. In the United States, people have become very sensitive to the language used to describe these groups, and they try to be "politically correct" (P. C. ). For example, many black Americans, particularly young people, prefer the term African-American instead of black, to identify with their African heritage. Some Spanish speakers prefer to be called Latinos (referring to Latin America) instead of Hispanics, while others prefer to be identified by their country of origin (Cuban-American or Cuban, Chicano, Mexican-American or Mexican, and so on).

In spite of some very important differences, however, there is still a tie that binds Americans together. That tie is a sense of national identity—of "being an American". Incidentally, when citizens of the United States refer to themselves as Americans, they have no intention of excluding people from Latin American countries. There is no word such as United Statesians in the English language, so people call themselves Americans. Thus, what is really a language problem has sometimes caused misunderstandings. Although citizens of Latin American countries may call the people in the United States North Americans, to most people in the United States this makes no sense either, because the term North Americans refer to Canadians and Mexicans as well as citizens of the United States. The word American, then, will be used in this text as the adjective and nationality for the people who live in the United States of America.

According to the passage, today many grandchildren of immigrants ______ .

A.don't like their old language and culture

B.don't speak English and reject American culture

C.only speak English and are "American" by culture

D.only live in established communities where new immigrants are still arriving

The Family

The structure of a family takes different forms around the world and even in the same society.<br>

The family&39;s form. changes as it adapts to changing social and economic influences. Until recently,the most common form. in North America was the nuclear family, consisting of a married couple with their minor children. The nuclear family is an independent unit. It must be prepared to fend for itself. Individual family members strongly depend on one another. There is little help from outside the family in emergencies. Elderly relatives of a nuclear family are cared for only if it is possible for the family to do so. In North America, the elderly often do not live with the family; they live in retirement communities and nursing homes.<br>

There are many parallels between the nuclear family in industrial societies, such as North America, and of families in societies such as that of the Inuits, who live in harsh environments. The nuclear family structure is well adapted to a life of mobility. In harsh conditions, mobility allows the family to hunt for food. For North Americans, the hunt for jobs and improved social status also requires mobility.<br>

The nuclear family was not always the North American standard. In a more agrarian time, the small nuclear family was usually part of a larger extended family. This might have included grandparents, mother and father, brothers and sisters, uncles, aunts, and cousins. In North America today, there is a dramatic rise in the number of single-parent households. Twice as many households in the United States are headed by divorced, separated, or never-married individuals as are comprised of nuclear families. The structure of the family, not just in North America, but throughout the world, continues to change as it adapts to changing conditions.

And grinding nuts and other plant foods, that could be adapted to newly cultivated foods. By the end of the Archaic era,people in eastern North America had domesticated certain native plants, including sunflowers weeds called goosefoot, sumpweed,or marsh elder and squash or gourds of some kin

D.These provided seeds that were important sources of carbohydrates and fat in the diet. dig holes. It has been suggested that sunflower, sumpweed,and other plants almost domesticated themselves, that is , they thrived in human –disturbed habitats, so humans intensively collected them and began to control their distribution. Women in the Archaic communities were probably the main experimenters with cultivation, because ethnoarchaeological evidence tells us that women were the main collectors of plant food and had detailed knowledge of plants. The passage mainly discusses which of the following aspects of the life of Archaic peoples A.The principal sources of food that made up their diet

B.Their development of ground stone tool technology

C.Their development of agriculture

D.Their distribution of work between men and women
