his lessons. Children who have trouble getting along with their classmates can end up behind others
and have a great chance of stopping school. In the early grades especially children should be encouraged
to work in groups rather than alone so that teachers can spot those who have problems making friends
and then do with it. “When children work on a task”, says Education Professor Lillian Katz from
University of Illinois, “they learn to work together, to disagree, to cooperate(合作), to take turns.
These skills can’t be learned in class. We all know people who have wonderful technical skills but
don’t have any social skills.”
At certain age, children are also learning to judge themselves in relation(关系) to others. For most
children, school is an entirely new place, outside world. Just as the 1-year-old children learn to walk,
the 6-year-old children are working hard to meet their parents’ wishes. “Young children don’t know
how to tell the difference between hard work and ability,” says a researcher of early childhood
education. “If they try hard to do something and fail, they may decide that they will never be able to
finish a kind of task. The effects of comparison(比较) such as putting their marks on the wall can
be serious”, says Hills. “If a child’s confidence(信心)is broken, he needs special help.”

Drunken driving-sometimes called America"s socially accepted form of murder-has become a national
epidemic (流行病). Every hour of every day about three Americans on average are killed by drunken
drivers, adding up to an incredible 250,000 over the past ten years. A drunken driver is usually referred
to as one with 0.10-blood alcohol content or roughly three beer glasses of wine or shots of whisky drunk within two hours. Heavy drinking used to be an acceptable part of the American manly image and judges were lenient in most courts, but the drunken killing has recently caused so many well-publicized tragedies, especially concerning young children, that public opinion is no longer so tolerant (忍受).
Twenty states have raised the legal drinking age to 21, reversing a trend (逆转潮流) in the 1960s to
reduce it to 18. After New Jersey lowered it to 18, the number of people killed by 18-20-year-old drivers more than doubled, so the state recently upped it back to 21.
Reformers, however, fear raising the drinking age will have little effect unless accompanied by
educational programs to help young people to develop "responsible attitudes" about drinking and teach
them to resist peer pressure to drink.
Though new laws have led to increased arrests and tests in many areas already, to a marked drop in
accidents, some states are also punishing bars for serving customers too many drinks. A bar in Massachusetts was fined for serving six or more double brandies to a customer who was "obviously drunk" and later drove off the road, killing a nine-year-old boy.
As the accidents continue to occur daily in every state, some Americans are even beginning to speak
well of the 13 years national prohibition (禁令) of alcohol that began in 1919, which President Hoover
called the "noble experiment". They forgot that legal prohibition didn"t stop drinking, but encouraged
political corruption (腐败) and organized crime. As with the booming drug trade generally, there is no
easy solution.

C. Some drivers didn"t surprise the legal drinking age.
D. The legal drinking age should be raised.

C. serious
D. determined
B. new laws are introduced in some states
C. drivers do not appreciate their manly image
D. the problem has attracted public attention
B . It may lead to organized crime.
C. The new laws can stop heavy drinking
D. There should be no bars to serve drinks.
homelessness strikes much younger part of society. In fact, a 25-city survey by the U. S. Conference of
Mayors in 1987 found that families with children make up the fastest growing part of the homeless
population. Many homeless children gather in inner cities; this transient(变化无常的) and frequently
frightened student population creates additional problems - both legal and educational - for already
overburdened(负担过重的)urban school administrators and teachers.
Estimates of the number of homeless Americans range from 350,000 to three million. Likewise,
estimates of the number of homeless school children vary radically. A U.S. Department of Education
report, based on state estimates, states that there are 220,000 homeless school-age children, about a
third of whom do not attend school on a regular basis, But the National Coalition for the Homeless
estimates that there are at least two times as many homeless children, and that less than half of them
attend school regularly.
One part of the homeless population that is particularly difficult to count consists of the "throwaway"
youths who have been cast of their homes. The Elementary School Center in New York City estimates
that there are 1.5 million of them, many of whom are not counted as children because they do not stay in
family shelters and tend to live by themselves on the streets.
Federal law, the Stewart B. McKinney Homeless Assistance Act of 1987, includes a section that
addresses the educational needs of homeless children. The educational provisions of the McKinney Act
are based on the belief that all homeless children have the right to a free, appropriate education.
B. many older homeless residents are going on strike in 25 cities
C. there is a serious shortage of academic facilities (设施).
D. homeless children are denied the opportunity of receiving free education
B. 1,500,000
C. 440,000
D. 110,000
B. the homeless population is growing rapidly
C. the homeless children usually stay outside school
D. some homeless children are deserted by their families
B. the estimates on homeless children are hard to determine
C. the address of grade-school children should be located
D. all homeless people are entitled(有权利的) to free education
B. the educational problems of homeless children
C. the social status of older males
D. estimates on the homeless population
or more. However, cars are used for more than pleasure. They are a necessary part of life.
Cars are used for business. They are driven to offices and factories by workers who have no other
way to get to their jobs. When salesmen are sent to different parts of the city, they have to drive in order
to carry their products. Farmers have to drive into the city in order to get supplies.
Sometimes small children must be driven to school. In some cities school buses are used only when
children live more than a mile away from the school. When the children are too young to walk too far,
their mothers take turns driving them to school. One mother drives on Mondays taking her own children
and the neighbors" as well. Another mother drives on Tuesdays, another on Wednesday, and so on. This
is called forming a car pool. Men also form car pools, with three or four men taki ng turns driving to the
place where they all work.
More car pools should be formed in order to put fewer cars on the road and use less gas. Too many
cars are being driven. Something will have to be done about the use of cars.
