题目内容
Last August，Joe and Mary Mahoney began looking at colleges for their l7-year-old daughter，Maureen．With a checklist of criteria in hand，the Dallas family looked around the country visiting half a dozen schools．They sought a university that offered the teenager’s intended major，one located near a large city，and a campus where their daughter would be safe．
“The safety issue is a big one，”says Mahoney',-who quickly discovered he wasn’t alone in his worries．On campus tours other parents voiced similar concerns，and the same question was always asked：what about crime? But when college officials always gave the same answer“That’s not fl problem here，”一Mahoney began to feel uneasy．
“No crime ever?”says Mahoney today．“I just don’t buy it．”Nor should he：in l999 the U．S．Department of education had reports of nearly 400，000 serious crimes on or around our campuses．“Parents need to understand that times have changed since they went to college，”says David Nichols．author of Creating a Safe Campus．“Campus crime mirrors the rest of the nation．”
But getting accurate information isn’t easy．Colleges must report crime statistics（统计数字）by law，but some hold back for fear of bad publicity，leaving the honest ones looking dangerous．“The truth may not always be serious，”warns S．Daniel Carter。f Security on Campus，Inc，the nation’s leading campus safety watchdog group．
To help concerned parents，Carter promised to visit campuses and talk to experts around the country to find out major crime issues and effective solutions．

暑假衔接教材期末暑假预习武汉出版社系列答案
假期作业暑假成长乐园新疆青少年出版社系列答案Paula Radcliffe, chasing a third London marathon title, says she has became a stronger person after her terrible experience at the 2004 Athens Games.
Radcliffe, who failed to complete the Olympic marathon and the 10,000m last August, said: "Athens made me a stronger person and it made me care less about criticism"
"In the past I wanted to please everyone, but now I am going to listen even more to the people around me."
She didn't care about criticism made at the weekend by Liz McColgan, who felt Radcliffe should have rested and let her body recover after her failure in Athens.
"Liz is someone I look up to but she hasn't spoken to me since last year and if she really cared for me, I'm sure she would have contacted me."
Instead Radcliffe won the New York City marathon just 11 weeks after Athens.
"In New York I wasn't in my best state but I did know I was good enough to win the race."
Radcliffe insisted her only goal in Sunday's race would be winning a third title and not chasing world records.
However, Radcliffe has not ruled out in the future chasing her "final" world record time and questioned sayings that marathon runners have the ability in their career to produce only four or five world-class times.
"I don't think that ——although I can't put a number on it," said. Radcliffe. "That changes from person to person."
Radcliffe is sure she can better her winning London 2003 performance at some point in the future. Following a successful three-month training period in the United States, the 31-year-old will chase a third title on Sunday after her first victory in 2002 and again 12 months later.
Radcliffe clocked a time of 2:18:56 in her first 42.2-kilometre race three years ago.
Afterwards she set a "mixed course" mark of 2:17:18 five months later in Chicago before lowering that to a time of 2:15:25 in the 2003 London event.
