| As students return to school this fall,
parents will again worry about new illnesses as kids come into contact with flu
germs. There are other risks they should worry about—illnesses caused by the
common bugs and rodents found in school buildings. Perhaps the even more
dangerous pests however are those individuals who prevent school administrators
from swiftly addressing these problems. Anti-chemical activists have pushed, and nearly 20 states and local governments have passed, 1 aws to eliminate or drastically reduce the use of pesticides in schools. Yet pesticides are used to control roaches, mice, rats, mosquitoes, and other pests. The public health implications of allowing these things to get out of control should be obvious: increased allergies and illnesses related to insect and rodent bites. Some states have passed a A. flu germs B. pests C. school administrators D. anti-chemical activists [单项选择]
Recession Fuels Shift from Private to Public Schools When the family budget started feeling the recession’s pinch last year, Angela Allyn and her photographer husband, Matt Dinnerstein, pulled their three kids out of Chicago-area private schools and enrolled them in Evanston, m., public schools. It has been a challenging transition: Maya, 16, now a high school sophomore, doesn’t like crowds--and her high school is as big as a small college," her mother says. Though Maya is learning a lot in the "amazing" science program, she’s also hoping to leave the crowds behind by doubling up on coursework, graduating by the end of junior year "and then going and doing interesting things," Allyn says. Her younger children face their own challenges, from bullying to sheer boredom. The transition also has been an education for Maya’s parents, who say they had "no choice" in the struggling economy but to switch to public schools. They’re saving about $20,0 A. They could hardly make friends. B. They were bullied by other students. C. They had to study in large-size classes. D. They had to contact public school board. [单项选择]
Testing has replaced teaching in most public schools. My own children’s school week is framed by pretests, drills, tests, and retests. They know that the best way to read a textbook is to look at the questions at the end of the chapter and then skim the text for the answers. I believe that my daughter Erica, who gets excellent marks, has never read a chapter of any of her school textbooks all the way through. And teachers are often heard to state proudly and openly that they teach to the mandated state test.

[单项选择] There is a popular belief among parents that schools are no longer interested in spelling. No school I have taught in has ever ignored spelling or considered it unimportant as a basic skill. There are, however, vastly different ideas about how to teach it, or how much priority it must be given over general language development and writing ability. The problem is, how to encourage a child to express himself freely and confidently in writing without holding him back with the complexities of spelling.
If spelling becomes the only focal point of his teacher’s interest, clearly a bright child will be likely to" play safe". He will tend to write only words within his spelling range, choosing to avoid adventurous language. That’s why teachers often encourage the early use of dictionaries and pay attention to content rather than technical ability.
