Most students are seventeen or eighteen years old when they graduate from secondary school. Another name for secondary school is high school.Most children go to public elementary and secondary schools.

If a child attends a private school, his parents pay the school for the child's education.Today about half of the high school graduates go on to colleges and universities. Some colleges and universities receive tax money from the government. A student at a state university does not have to pay very much if his parents live in that state. Private colleges and universities are expensive; however, almost half of the college students in the United States work while they are studying.

5.Children for whom school has no pointMany children do not go to school either because their parents want them at home as carers for siblings,or simply because their parents cannot be bothered to send them．Thousands more are not registered at any school at all,because of their families'unstable lives.Underlying this dreadful situation there are two central truths．First of all,the problem of children not going to school often has more to do with their parents than with the children themselves．Secondly,once children go to school,we need to make sure that the experience is a positive one so that they want to keep on going.In Britain,the Ministry of Education has introduced a complex package of sticks and carrots to persuade Schools to bring truants'and excluded children back into the classroom．It is paying grants so that a thousand schools can set up special units to help these children．Schools receive the grant if they bring a target number of children back to school;if they do not meet the target,the grant is withdrawn.Parents are the subject of this campaign,too:the Home Office has introduced fines for parents who fail to send their children to school,and has given the police power to pick up truants on the streets.Truant=a child who does not go to school when he or she should.The Home Office__. 选项： A:has given powers to the police to pick up parents B:will give money to parents to send children to school C:will go to the family and persuade parents and their children D:will punish parents who fail to send their children to school

6.[单选题]Passage 1Opening a book for the very first time still fills me with the same excitement and expectation that it did when I was a child. Not only do books enable children to discover new worlds, meet new people and learn about the past, but they also have the power to change lives. By sparking imaginations, stimulating critical thinking and helping develop empathy (共鸣), reading gives children the very literacy (会读会写) skills they need to succeed at school, at work and in life. Helping children discover a love of reading is crucial, but it is worrying today that children's enjoyment of reading is falling behind their reading skills.Why does this matter? While reading skills are essential, reading for pleasure is crucial for academic success, mental health and even later economic success. The emphasis here is on reading for pleasure: being able to read does not give the same benefits as enjoying it.Getting the right book into the right child's hands at the right time is the key. Yet1 in 8 disadvantaged children in the UK don't own a single book and primary school libraries have closed across the nation. If your parents can't afford to buy books and your primary school hasn't got a library, how on earth are you supposed to become a reader for pleasure?The problem is bigger for boys than it is for girls. Many parents tell me that my books have been effective in turning their boys into readers. I have to say that although it is always a pleasure to be told that my books have been effective, it has never been my intention to target boys specifically. I don't want to write either a boys' book or a girls' book, or draw conclusions about boy or girl behavior.I haven't found the gender of the characters in my books to be an issue. I've lost count of the number of nine-year-old boys who say that Camicazi, the girl hero in How to Train Your Dragon, is their favorite character. That is why I prefer boys and girls reading the same books. Girls need to see girls like themselves being strong, dynamic heroes, and boys do too.What do we know about Camicazi from the passage? A One fictional character. B One of the author's children. C A heroine popular among girls. D A well-known hero in the UK.

17.[单选题]Passage threeMany people believe that boys and girls should be educated in separate classes because their brains are to learn in different ways. For the past decade parents and teachers have become worried increasingly about boys, who are now routinely outperformed by girls at every level and who show growing levels of self-dissatisfaction and lack of motivation.Dr. Sax, founder of the National Association for Single Sex Public Education in the United States, argues that this gender gap is the result of innately different learning styles of boys and girls, and that most classrooms play to the strength of girls. Boys, for example, do not hear as well as girls. So, a female teacher with a soft voice may believe that a boy who is not paying attention is playing up, when actually he cannot hear her properly. Her reaction may be to discipline him. But Dr. Sax says that she would get better results by speaking louder and moving purposefully around the classroom. Boys’ eyes also respond better to movement and direction, while girls’ eyes are more affected by color and texture. Asked to draw, five-year-old girls produce flowers, pets and people. Boys will draw a car crash, but may be reproached by teachers for producing something that is “not nice”.Similarly, although most girls can sit still from a young age, most boys need to be active to discover their own pace. One result, Dr. Sax believes, is the overdiagnosis of attention deficit disorder among boys who are considered inattentive by teachers. Parents and doctors are tempted to treat this with medication, when simply putting them in a boy-friendly classroom would be far more effective. The failure of schools to understand why gender matters means that boys very often switch off from learning from an early age and never reengage. Long after their sisters have gone to university, they are still trapped at home suffering from “failure to launch” into adult life. The solution, Dr. Sax believes, lies in single-sex education provided by teachers trained to understand the differences in brain function between boys and girls. 32.What have parents and teachers become more concerned about in the past ten years? A Boys tend not to be so self-disciplined as girls. B Boys and girls are educated in different classes. C Boys are unable to compete with girls in school. D Boys tend not drop out of school as early as girls.
