18、s reason, some special education teachers have found it helpful to set their lessons to music.

In Rhode Island, researchers studied eight publi

19、c school first grade classes. Half of the classes became text-artsgroups, receiving ongoing music training. After seven months, the students were given a test. The tested group had caught up with their fellow students in reading and surpassed(超过) their classmates in math by 22 percent. In the second

20、 year of the project, the tested students widened this even further. Students were also tested on attitude and behavior.

25、gested he try for Rivington Grammar School. But his father said, “ We need him to bring in a wage(工资).” So my grandfather was sent to a factory, then down the mines and finally to a paper factory , where he stayed for almost four decades(十年) until he retired(退休).

26、ntellectual(知识的) ability but without the chance to exercise that muscle? Rather than lose heart , he turned his disappointment into a passion(热爱) for education, and a determination to make sure his daughter and granddaughter had the opportunities he missed out .

27、lped my mother with her homework, which hed never come across before. I know he kept himself busy by learning . He had argued(争论) with his workmates when my mother applied for(申请) a teacher training college. “ Theres no point in educating a girl,” they said. He must have been angry when hearing that

28、. What do I remember of my grandfather? One day he brought me a football. “Have you ever wondered,” he said, “ why we always say black and white instead of white and black?” Then he left me to think. He made me think about language.

34、ple are used to speaking their native language, so immigrants(移民) are having many problems between the first generation and the second generation because they dont have the same native language.

35、at came from different countries to succeed in the States. Because they suffer in lots of areas such as getting a job and trying to speak English, they want their children to speak English, not only at school, but also at home in order to be more successful.

36、 are losing their identity, and even more, they are ignoring their parents whose English is not very good.I think most immigrants are trying to preserve their native language in their new country, but this doesnt help very much in getting a good job. My aunt taught Korean to her children not to help

37、 them succeed in the US; she did so, hopefully, to help them establish a Korean identity. Though the second generation is born in the new country, they often get confused about their identity because they look different from others, and also, if they visit their parents country, they will probably f

They could even feel in just strolling around the street because they wore different clothes and walked differently.We must realize that language is imp

39、ortant and valuable for many reasons.
