It′s that time of the yea—graduation. The end of school year is nearly in sight,and it′s an especially big deal if you′re finishing high school or college.
One amazing(令人惊叹的) 16-year-old Florida girl, Grace Bush, graduated from both high school and college this week! She actually got her college diploma(毕业证书) before her high school diploma. How′d she do that? "
Hard work and dedication(专心致志)," she told a local TV news station," have made me succeed in doing high school and college at the same time. " She started taking college courses when she was just 13. She would often get up at 5:30 a.m. and not finish until after 11 p. m.
Doing both at once is a huge achievement, but it has also helped her family save money. She′s one of the 9 children, all home-schooled until the age of 13. Her father is a math professor while her mother is a part-time history teacher in a high school. Grace Bush has earned her college degree in law, with a near perfect GPA of 3.8 and she hopes to become a lawyer one day, although her parents expect her to teach at university. By the way, she also plays basketball in her college team in her spare time.

听力原文: A person's social prestige seems to be determined mainly by his or her job. Occupations are valued in terms, of the incomes associated with them, although other factors can also be relevant-particular the amount of education a given occupation requires and the degree of control over other it provides. The holders of political power also tend to have high prestige.
Unlike power and wealth, which do not seem to be becoming more equally shared, the symbols of prestige have become available to an increasing number of Americans. Tim main reason is the radical change in the nature of jobs over the course of this century. In 1900, nearly 40 percent of the labor force were farm workers and less than 20 percent held white-collar jobs. At the beginning of the 1980s, however, less than 5 percent of the labor force worked on farms and white-collar workers were the largest single occupational category. Blue-collar workers, the largest category in the mid-fifties, now constitute less than a-third of all workers. The increase in the proportion of high prestige jobs has allowed a much greater number of Americans to enjoy these statuses and the lifestyle. that go with them.

But these benefits do not come easily. Making a telecommuting program work requires careful planning and an understanding of 'the differences between telecommuting realities and popular images.
Many workers are seduced by rosy illusions of life as a telecommuter. A computer programmer from New York City moves to the tranquil Adirondack Mountains and stays in contact with her office via computer. A manager comes in to his office three days a week and works at home the other two. An accountant stays home to care for her sick child: she hooks up her telephone modern connections and does office work between calls to the doctor.
These are powerful images, but they are a limited reflection of reality. Telecommuting workers soon learn that it is almost impossible to concentrate on work and care for a young child at the same time. Before a certain age, young children cannot recognize much less respect, the necessary boundaries between work and family. Additional child support is necessary if the parent is to get any work done.
Management, too, must separate the myth from reality. Although the media has paid a great deal of attention to telecommuting, in most cases it is the employees' situation, not the availability of technology that precipitates a telecommuting arrangement.
That is partly why, despite the widespread press coverage, the number of companies with work-at-home programs or policy guidelines remains small.
Which of the following is not mentioned as a problem related to office work?
A.Wasting time in traffic.
B.The conflict between child-care and work.
C.The inflexible schedule.
D.The high expense on office equipment.

Cheating is, of course, nothing new. But today,educators are finding that cheating on the part of students hasbecome more frequent than in the past. Whether it is copying a friend&39;s homework, using a preparedsheeton an exam, stealing advance copies of a final, writing down rules in one’s hand, or paying someone else to write a term paper, cheating appearsto have gained acceptance among agrowing number of studentsbetween 13 and 19.
In a 1978 study of cheating at twenty-two high schools in Georgia, it was found that cheating was common among good and poor students alike — although both boys and girls said they thought boys cheatedmore.
Why is student cheating on the rise? No one really knows. Some blame cheating on a general loss of good values among today&39;s youth. They point to facts showing increaseddamageof public thin gs and school stealing and think that reports, such as Watergate have disappointed youth about the honesty of people in higher positions.
Others think that today&39;s youth are far more practical than their forefathers. In the late sixties and e arly seventies, students were filled with imaginations about changing the world, but today&39;s students feel great stressto succeed.
