High school dropouts(辍学者)earn an average of $9000 less per year than graduates.Now a new study dispels a common belief why they quit.It’s much more basic than flunking out(不及格).

Society tends to think of high school dropouts as kids who just can’t cut it.They are lazy, and perhaps not too bright.So researchers were surprised when they asked more than 450 kids who quit school about why they left.

“The vast majority actually had passing grades and they were confident that they could have graduated from high school, ” John Bridgeland, the executive researcher said.About 1 million teens leave school each year.Only about half of African-American and Hispanic(美籍西班牙的)student will receive a diploma(证书), and actually all dropouts come to regret their decision.So, if failing grades don’t explain why these kids quit, what does?Again, John Bridgeland:“The most dependable finding was that they were bored.”“They found classes uninteresting; they weren’t inspired or motivated.They didn’t see any direct connection between what they were learning in the classroom to their own lives, or to their career aspirations.”

The study found that most teens who do drop out wait until they turn sixteen, which happens to be the age at which most states allow students to quit.In the US, only one state, New Mexico, has a law requiring teenagers to stay in high school until they graduate.Only four states:California, Tennessee, Texas and Utah, plus the District of Columbia, require school ?attendance? until age 18, no exceptions, another researcher, says raising the compulsory(义务的)attendance age may be one way to keep more kids in school.

“As these dropouts look black, they realize they’ve made a mistake.And anything that sort of gives these people an extra push to stick it out and it through to the end, is probably helpful measure.”

New Hampshire may be the next state to raise its school attendance age to 18.But critics say that forcing the students unwilling to continue their studies to stay in school misses the point-the need for reform.It’s been called for to reinvent(彻底改造)high school education to make it more challenging and relevant(中肯的, 切题的), and to ensure that kids who do stick it out receive a diploma that actually means something.

It was graduation day at Etihad Training Academy,where the national airline of the United Arab Emirates holds a seven-week training course for new flight attendants.

Despite her obvious pride,Ms.Fathi,a 22-year-old from Egypt,was amazed to find herself here.“I never in my life thought I’d work abroad,” said Ms.Fathi,who was a university student in Cairo when she began noticing newspaper advertisements employing young Egyptians to work at airlines based in the Persian Gulf.

Twenty years ago,unmarried Arab women like Ms.Fathi,working outside their home countries,were rare.But just as young men from poor Arab nations poured into the oil-rich Persian Gulf states for jobs,more young women are doing so.

Flight attendants have become the public face of the new mobility for some young Arab women,just as they were the face of new freedoms for women in the United States in the 1950s and 1960s.They have become a subject of social anxiety and fascination in much the same way.

For many families,allowing a daughter to work may call her virtue into question.Yet this culture is changing,said Musa Shteiwi,a sociologist at Jordan University in Amman.“We’re noticing more and more single women going to the gulf these days,” he saiD. “It’s still not exactly common,but over the last four or five years it’s become quite an observable phenomenon.”

Many of the young Arab women working in the Persian Gulf take delight in their status as pioneers,role models for their friends and younger female relatives.Young women brought up in a culture that highly values community,have learned to see themselves as individuals.The experience of living independently and working hard for high salaries has forever changed their beliefs about themselves,though it can also lead to a painful sense of separation from their home countries and their families.

Since Edmund Hillary and Tenzing Norgay climbed Mount Everest, Mount Qomolangma’s peak is no longer a lonely place and is turning into a trash heap.

So far, more than 350 climbers have successfully reached the peak. And they have complained about waiting for hours in the bottlenecks (狭窄路段) on the way to the peak, a situation that isn’t just uncomfortable — it’s cold and windy up there — but downright dangerous. If bad weather strikes, climbers can and do die.

As a matter of fact, the dangerous crowds aren’t the only problem on Qomolangma. All those climbers need to bring a lot of gear—and much of them ends up being left on the mountain, sometimes even the peak itself. Mount Qomolangma is becoming the world’s largest dump. Here’s mountaineer Mark Jenkins writing in National Geographic about the state of Qomolangma: “The two standard routes, the Northeast Ridge and the Southeast Ridge, are disgustingly polluted with oxygen cans and torn tents everywhere.”

But the good news is that some mountaineers are taking it upon themselves to clean up Qomolangma. Mountianeer Paul Thelen and his friend Eberhard Schaaf are part of the annual Eco Everest Expedition, which has been cleaning up rubbish from base camps to the peak since 2008. So far they’ve collected over 13 tons of garbage.

Some of that rubbish is even being used for a higher purpose. As part of the Mount Everest 8844 Art Project, a group of 15 artists from Nepal collected 1.5 tons of garbage brought down the mountain by climbers. They’ve transformed the cans and oxygen tanks—and in one case, part of the remains of a helicopter—into 74 pieces of art that have already gone on exhibition in Nepal’s capital. Part of the profit from sales will go to the Everest Peakers Association, which has helped collect tons of rubbish on the slopes of the mountain.

1.What does the underlined word “gear” mean?

A. Equipment for climbing mountains.

B.. The food climbers brought onto the mountain.

C. Some important machines used for the bottlenecks.

D. Some rubbish found on the mountain.

2.The group of 15 Nepali artists_________.

A. created works of art using rubbish from Qomolangma

B. were employed by the Everest Peakeers Association

C. climbed Qomolangma and collected 1.5 tons of trash

D. painted 74 beautiful pictures of Mount Qomolangma’s peak

3.What can be the best title for the text?

A. Eco Everest Expedition Proves Successful

B. Qomolangma Has Become A Huge Mess

C. Test Yourself Against Qomolangma

D. Recycle Rubbish On Qomolangma
