private (私人的) group helping children receive services they need to succeed. On Tuesday it held a meeting
and made its new report known, saying only about half of all students in the main schools of America"s largest
cities finish high school. The report also noted higher rates (比率) of graduation-more than 70%-in the areas
around the cities.
Researchers carried out this study in the nation"s fifty largest cities. They used a new system of
measurement called the cumulative promotion index (累计增长指数) to find graduation rates. That is because
different areas use different methods to find graduation rates. Meanwhile, many methods do not give a true
picture of the number of students who finish high school.
Colin Powell was chairman of this private group when it was formed in 1997. He attended the meeting
Tuesday where the report was made. He said studies have shown that the United States must do more to
educate the leadets and work force of the future. Secretary of Education Margaret Spellings also spoke. She
said the government will ask states to use the same method when reporting graduation rates.
Colin Powell also announced (宣布) the start of a nationwide activity to improve graduation rates. It is to
include many meetings to be held in every state over the next two years. The meetings will bring together
government leaders,business owners, students, parents and education officials. They will develop plans to
increase the number of Americans who finish high school.
B. business owners
C. education officials
D. students
B. it was newer than the old systems
C. it could collect the information of fifty largest cities faster
D. America"s Promise Alliance didn"t believe other methods
B. Different areas should use the same method when reporting graduation rates.
C. America has done more to educate the leaders and work force of the future.
D. Rates of graduation areas around the cities are higher than those in the cities.
B. how to improve graduation rates in every state
C. who should attend the meetings held in every state
D. what plans should be made to improve graduation rates
B. General Colin Powell formed it and was the chairman of it.
C. It started an activity in America to improve graduation rates.
D. It was controlled by the American government.

and other high-risk behaviors, and help young people grow into healthy, successful adults.
The effect of quality after-school programs on academic performance is clear. Studies show that students
who take part in such programs show better work habits, higher rates of homework completion, improved
grades, and higher scores on achievement tests. They also have fewer absences and are less likely to blame.
After-school programs also influence high-risk teen behavior. Various studies show decreased rates of crime,
drug use, and teen sex among youth who join in well-run after-school programs when compared to similar
youth who do not. Finally, after-school programs play an important role in supporting the following fields of
development: physical, mental and social development. Thus, one can safely say that after-school programming
is an effective method to help young people become contributing members of society.
Although there is enough proof from both small and large assessments that _____, it is important to note
that not all programs are equal. First, dosage (时量) matters-young people who attend the most hours over
the most years benefit more than members who attend less often or over a shorter period of time. Next, after-
school programs make a bigger difference for those students who need help most and have the fewest choices.
Finally, program qualities matter. After-school programs work best when they create unique opportunities for
youth. They should provide opportunities for positive rela- tionships, skill building, meaningful involvement,
expression, suggestion, service, and work. Staff char-acteristics make an important difference in the quality
of a program. The adults should treat youth as partners, create safe and fair environments, encourage
personalized involvement, and actively create learning opportunities. In short, although after-school programs
have promising future, how they are designed and run matters.

make your child feel angry, hurt, or misunderstood by what you say without realizing it yourself. It is important
to give your child the space he needs to grow while gently letting him know that you you"ll still be there for
him when he needs you.
Expect a lot from your child, just not everything. Except for health and safety problems,such as drug use
or careless driving; consider everything else open to discussion. If your child is unwilling to discuss something,
don"t insist he tell you what"s on his mind. The more you insist, the more likely that he"ll clam up. Instead, let
him attempt to solve (解决) things by himself. At the same time, remind him that you"re always there for him
when he seek advice or help. Show respect for your teenager"s priyacy (隐私). Never read his mail or listen in
on personal conversations.
Teach your teenager that the family phone is for the whole family. If your child talks on the family"s
telephone for too long, tell him he can talk for 15 minutes, but then he must stay off the phone for at least an
equal period of time. This not only frees up the line so that other family members can make and receive calls,
but teaches your teenager moderation (节制). Or if you are open to the idea, allow your teenager his own phone
that he pays for with his own pocket money or a part-time job.
B. how to respect a teenager
C. how to understand a teenager
D. how to help a teenager grow up
B. Show respect.
C. Refuse to talk.
D. Seek help.
B. Give him advice only when necessary.
C. Let him have his own telephone.
D. Not talk about personal things with him.
devices to it is difficult and visual sightings are too unreliable to give real insight into its behavior.
So biologists were delighted early this year when, with the help of the US Navy, they were able to track a
particular blue whale for 43 days recording its sounds. This was possible because of the Navy"s formerly top
secret system of underwater listening devices across the oceans.
Tracking whales is but one example of an exciting new world just opening to civilian scientists after the
cold war as the Navy starts to share and partly uncover its global network of underwater listening system built
over the decades to.track the ships of potential enemies.
Earth scientists announced at a news conference recently that they had used the system for closely
observing a deep-sea volcanic eruption for the first time and that they planned similar studies. Other scientists
have proposed to use the network for tracking ocean currents and measuring changes in the ocean and global
temperatures. Different layers of ocean water can act as channels for sounds focusing them in the same way
a stethoscope (听诊器) does when it carries faint noises from a patient"s chest to a doctor"s ear. This focusing
is the main reason that even relatively weak sounds in the ocean, especially low-frequency ones, can often
travel thousands of miles.
B. to observe deep-sea volcanic eruptions
C. to study the movement of ocean currents
D. to replace the global radio communications network
B. the top-level technology of focusing sounds under water
C. the unique characteristic of layers of ocean water in carrying sounds
D. low-frequency sounds traveling across different layers of water
B. Blue whales are no longer endangered with the help of the new system.
C. Opinions differ on the use of military technology.
D. Military technology has great potential in civilian use.
B. It is a must in protecting endangered species.
C. It has been replaced by a more advanced system.
D. It became useless to the military after the cold war.
B. The civilian use of a military detecting system.
C. The exposure of a US Navy top-secret weapon.
D. A new way to look into the behavior of blue whales.
The car is fitted with a remote immobilizer (远程控制器) and a radio signal from a control center miles away
will make sure that once the thief turns the engine off, he will not be able to start it again.
The idea goes like this. A control box fitted to the car contains a mini-cell phone, a micro-processor and
memory and a GPS satellite positioning receiver. If the car is stolen, a coded (编码的) cell phone signal will tell
the control center to block the vehicle"s engine management system and prevent the engine being restarted.
In the UK, a set of technical fixes is already making life harder for car thieves. "The pattern of vehicle crime
has changed," says Martyr Randall, a security expert. He says it would only take him a few minutes to teach a
person how to steal a car, using a minimum of tools, but only if the car is more than 10 years old.
Modern cars are far tougher to steal, as their engine management computer won"t allow them to start unless
they receive a unique ID code beamed out by the ignition (点火) key. In the UK, technologies like this have
helped to achieve a 31% drop in vehicle crime since 1997.
But determined thieves are still managing to find other ways to steal cars, often by getting hold of the owner"s
keys. And key theft is responsible for 40% of the thefts of vehicles fitted with a tracking system.
If the car travels 100 meters without the driver conforming (一致) the ID, the system will send a signal to
an operation center that it has been stolen. The 100-meter minimum avoids false alarm be- cause of some
possible errors of the GPS signal.
Staff at the center will then contact the owner to confirm that the car really is missing and keep the police
informed of the vehicle"s movements via the car"s GPS unit.
B. To order the car to lock automatically when stolen.
C. To prevent the car thief from restarting it once it stops.
D. To send a radio signal to inform the car owner of the theft.
B. many self-prepared too]s can be used for car theft
C. the theft becomes more difficult because of modern technology
D. the thief has lost interest in stealing cars over 10 years old
B. A special ID code
C. A special cell phone
D. A GPS satellite positioning receiver
B. To keep the police informed of the car"s movement.
C. To give the driver time to contact the operation center.
D. To allow for possible mistakes in the GPS system.
B. Stop the engine.
C. Contact the owner.
D. Locate the missing car.
