听力原文： Some people dream of being President of the United States. Some dream of becoming stars in a Hollywood movie, and others of making millions of dollars overnight. But, could a dream like that come true in real life? Well, it did happen to Peter Johnson. Peter was an auto mechanic. One day, he walked into the Union Trust Bank in Baltimore and took 5,000 dollars that did not belong to him. The guards and other employees stood back and let him stuff the bills in his shirt and pants without trying to prevent him from taking the money. No one tripped an alarm. No one pulled a gun. No one called the police. Why did they allow him to get away with it?Well, everything was legal. Peter had won a contest promoted by a Baltimore radio station. The first prize entitled him to enter the Union Trust Bank and gather up as much money as he could lay his hands within five minutes. Because he could not bring any large bags or boxes into the bank, all the money had to be placed in his pockets.As the time went by, Peter ran about wildly, trying to pick up as many large bills as he could find. When his time was up, he was out of breath, but was ＄5,000 richer.Why did Peter go to the Union Trust bank?A．To withdraw his deposit.B．To cash a cheek.C．To get his prize.D．To rob the bank.

Text 2For more than two decades, U.S. courts have been limiting affirmative-action programs in universities and other areas. The legal rationale is that racial preferences are unconstitutional, even those intended to compensate for racism or intolerance. For many colleges, this means students can be admitted only on merit, not on their race or ethnicity. It has been a divisive issue across the U.S., as educators blame the prolonged reaction to affirmative-action for declines in minority admissions. Meanwhile, activists continue to battle race preferences in courts from Michigan to North Carolina.Now, chief executives of about two dozen companies have decided to plunge headfirst into this politically unsettled debate. They, together with 36 universities and 7 nonprofitable organizations, formed a forum that set forth an action plan essentially designed to help colleges circumvent court-imposed restrictions on affirmative action. The CEOs’ motive: “Our audience is growing more diverse, so the communities we serve benefit if our employees are racially and ethnically diverse as well”, says one CEO of a compang that owns nine television stations.Among the steps the forum is pushing: finding creative yet legal ways to boost minority enrollment through new admissions policies; promoting admissions decisions that look at more than test scores; and encouraging universities to step up their minority outreach and financial aid. And to counter accusations by critics to challenge these tactics in court, the group says it will give legal assistance to colleges sued for trying them. “Diversity diminished by the court must be made up for in other legitimate, legal ways,” says, a forum member.One of the more controversial methods advocated is the so-called 10% rule. The idea is for public universities—which educate three-quarters of all U.S. undergraduates—to admit students who are in the top 10% of their high school graduating class. Doing so allows colleges to take minorities who excel in average urban schools, even if they wouldn’t have made the cut under the current statewide ranking many universities use.第26题：U.S. court restrictions on affirmative action signifies that______.［A］minorities no longer hold the once favored status［B］the quality of American colleges has improved［C］racial preferences has replaced racial prejudice［D］the minority is on an equal footing with the majority

Children for whom school has no pointMany children do not go to school either because their parents want them at home as carers for siblings,or simply because their parents cannot be bothered to send them．Thousands more are not registered at any school at all,because of their families'unstable lives.Underlying this dreadful situation there are two central truths．First of all,the problem of children not going to school often has more to do with their parents than with the children themselves．Secondly,once children go to school,we need to make sure that the experience is a positive one so that they want to keep on going.In Britain,the Ministry of Education has introduced a complex package of sticks and carrots to persuade Schools to bring truants'and excluded children back into the classroom．It is paying grants so that a thousand schools can set up special units to help these children．Schools receive the grant if they bring a target number of children back to school;if they do not meet the target,the grant is withdrawn.Parents are the subject of this campaign,too:the Home Office has introduced fines for parents who fail to send their children to school,and has given the police power to pick up truants on the streets.Truant=a child who does not go to school when he or she should.The Home Office__.A.has given powers to the police to pick up parentsB.will give money to parents to send children to schoolC.will go to the family and persuade parents and their childrenD.will punish parents who fail to send their children to school

Can you tell me how the classes are arranged there? Jack: Sure. Basically, our classes are made up of two major parts: lectures and seminars（讲座）. The lectures are just like the general classes in China. Marry: You mean, teachers give presentations, and students listen? Jack: Yeah. But the students are free to ask questions. The classroom atmosphere is warmer too. Marry: Ok. How about the seminars? Jack: In the seminars, students are encouraged to do some case study. In the case study, students are encouraged to share their views with the classmates. Students need to make full preparation. They need not only to study relevant laws, but also to read relevant cases to benefit the class. Marry: But what do professors do in the seminar? Jack: Professors are only organizers of it. They don’t express their ideas. Marry: Does everyone have a chance to express his idea in the seminar? Jack: Yes, since our class is very small. Generally, there are only 8 to 10 students in one class. Marry: Oh, that is a very small class. How about the lecture? How many students are there in one class? Jack: The lecture class is much bigger. Sometimes, there can be more than one hundred of us in one class. Marry: I see. British classes are made up of two major parts.
