Every day 7,000 students walk out on their education. One third of all students fail to graduate from high school. And most low-income students who start college never finish.These are some big problems. And in September, big names from business, entertainment and politics gathered to help solve these problems at a conference held in California. The event centered on the launch of Get Schooled, a program started by the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation. The five-year program is aimed at helping more high school kids graduate so that they can succeed later in life.Time for Kids was there for the red-carpet arrivals and important speeches, as well as for the screening of a new 30-minute documentary called “Get Schooled: You Have the Right.”Comedian Stephen Colbert hosted the event. He started the program by bringing out Bill Gates, founder of computer giant Microsoft. “We couldnt be having this conversation at a better time,” Gates told the audience. “The action crisis is damaging our ability to compete in the global economy and we need to do more to engage all Americans from policymakers and corporate leaders to families and young people in our efforts to support students in completing their education and achieving their dreams.” Gates explained some Get Schooled plans in a presentation about building new schools and making existing schools better.Musician Jason Halbert, Clarksons bandleader, said his most inspirational teacher was his sixth-grade band director. “I told him all my drams about being a keyboard player, and even though they didnt have one in the band, he was willing to let me play on the side of the field by the marching band,” Halbert explained. “He taught me that if you have desire and passion, sometimes you have to be creative and think of new ways to accomplish your goals.”The U.S. Deputy Secretary of Education, Miller, said the greatest challenge to making the Get Schooled program work was to “make sure we have the best teachers working with the kids who have the biggest learning challenges. If youre a student not learning as fast as some of the others, you really need a better-than-average teacher to help you. Thats a big part of our goals.”58. Why is Get Schooled launched in the United States?A. Many graduates cant find jobs in the crisis.B. Many high school students drop out of school.C. Americas education is in great financial crisis.D. Many students cant finish the university education.59. Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?A. Quite a few famous people attended the conference.B. Jasons sixth-grade teacher had a strong influence on him.C. The Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation was set up to help dropouts.D. Bill Gates gave a speech to encourage more people to support the program.60. Miller thinks the biggest problem that Get Schooled faces is _.A. lacking the best teachers B. lacking modern equipmentC. lacking the government supportD. lacking better-than-average studentsCIn one Hong Kong secondary school every candidate for a teaching post is asked the question, “What are you views on discipline in and outside the classroom?”The future teacher may answer, “I believe in great freedom in the classroom, pretty much allowing the students to do their own thing in the subject Im teaching.” That man will not be employed.Why not? Because even though he may arouse (引起) the interests of the students and that is good he, nevertheless, is guilty of not leading the students interests along the necessary and useful way of full comprehension of their subject.Imagine a singing or a boxing student who practiced on his own and only came to an instructor sometimes for encouragement. Good instruction demands specific details on the best methods to follow and the dangers to guard against. And, so, while permissiveness (放任) in the classroom may benefit a few bright students, it is hardly believed to benefit the majority and excite those having no interest.A syllabus (教学大纲) and a workbook are necessary tools. And if used intelligently and imaginatively, they will help all students. No teacher may neglect the whole training procedure and yet every teacher fit for his job must encourage the better students to advance beyond the limits of an assigned course by the teacher.Will todays young person accept discipline? He will if he sees examples of the good results of it. Is there any difficulty getting students for medical, law and engineering schools, pilots for planes and ships? Can you imagine any other professional men who must go through a more strict training?Here is a picture of the life a Marine recruit (新兵) for six or more months. He comes to a camp. His hair is cut to the scalp (头皮). His new uniform is thrown at him. He gets hundreds of orders daily. He is punished frequently; he may never give any excuses. He gets up at six in the morning, exercises for an hour, eats, runs to his barracks (营房) to make his bed, clean up, clean his gun and if a dirty mark of the dust is found on it, he may have to clean it a dozen more times or sweep the floor of the barracks with a toothbrush. His day with duties, drills and details continues without rest till at 10:00 p.m. And then he falls tired out into bed.Does he love doing these things? No, he hates them. Why does he do them? Because he knows that after he has finished training he will belong to the best group of soldiers in the world. Behind all the strict discipline he knows there is a reason: He is being prepared for any job he may be called upon to do with the least possible danger to arms, legs and life.61. The writer says that a teacher who believes in great freedom in the classroom will not be employed because _.A. he excites only very few students interestsB. his teaching will probably be of no interestC. he depends too much on teaching tools and follows the required courseD. he will not give his students a full knowledge of the subject he is teaching62. The main idea of the fourth paragraph is that _.A. singers and boxers need good instructorsB. freedom in the classroom benefits only the clever studentsC. good instructors take no notice of the usual training methodsD. good instruction is necessary to people to guard themselves against danger63. Which of the following statements about the Marine recruit under training is NOT true?A. He has to wear very short hair.B. He has to work with no rest for sixteen hours a day.C. He has to sweep the floor with a toothbrush once a week.D. He does physical exercises between six and seven in the morning.64. Which of the following is the most suitable title for this passage?A. Why is discipline necessary?B. Will the young accept discipline?C. Training to be a MarineD. Discipline in Hong Kong secondary schoolsDA group of Italian soldiers led by a captain were advancing slowly toward the position of the enemy. They were expecting to see in the distance some signs of the enemy. They arrived at a farmhouse, in fr
