  I played the song to the best of my    48   , and with my emotions pouring into it as possible. She loved it.    49    I was about to step out of the door, I heard a weak voice calling out, “Young man!”

  I turned around. And there was an old lady    50    one little step at a time with the help of another woman. “I wanted to come out to   51   you for the beautiful song that you played. I have been very sick, and it’s very hard for me to    52    my bed, but I really wanted to thank you for the song. It made me feel good…” she said. With that, she turned around and walked      53    back to her room.

  I was deeply touched by her    54    and felt a deeper understanding for the song. It served its purpose beautifully, returning to one’s    55    for peace and joy.

请认真阅读下列短文,并根据短文的内容要点完成文章后的表格列单。

注意:补全填空应符合语法和搭配要求,每空只填一个单词。

American public education has changed in recent years. One change is that increasing numbers of American parents and teachers are starting independent public schools called charter schools.

In 1991, there were no charter schools in the Unite States. Today, more than 2300 charter schools operate in 34 states and the District of Columbia. 575000 students attend these schools. The students are from 5 years of age through 18 or older.

A charter school is created by groups of parents, teachers and community members. It is similar in some ways to a traditional public school. It receives tax money to operate a number of students. The charter school must prove to local or state governments that its students are learning. These governments provide the school with the agreement, or charter that permits it to operate.

Unlike a traditional public school, however, the charter school does not have to obey most laws governing public schools. Local, state or federal governments cannot tell it what to teach.

Each school can choose its own goals and decide the ways it wants to reach those goals. Class sizes are usually smaller than in many traditional public schools. Many students and parents say teachers in charter schools can be more creative.

However, state education agencies, local education-governing committees and unions often oppose charter schools. They say these schools may receive money badly needed by traditional public schools. Experts say some charter schools are doing well while others are struggling.

Congress provided 200 million dollars for establishing charter schools in the 2006 federal budget. But, often the schools say they lack enough money for programs. Many also lack needed space. District officials say they have provided 14 former school buildings for charter education. Yet charter school supporters say officials should try harder to find more space.
