Most American students go to traditional public schools. There are about 88, 000 public schools all over the US. Some students attend charter schools.

Charter schools are self? governing. Certain companies operate some charter schools. They are similar in some ways to traditional public schools. They receive tax money just as other public schools do. Charter schools must prove to local or state governments that their students are learning. These governments provide the schools with the agreement called a charter that permits them to operate.

Charter schools are different because they do not have to obey most laws that govern traditional public schools. Each school can choose its own goals and decide what to teach and how to teach them in their own way. Class size is usually smaller than in traditional public schools.

The government strongly supports charter schools as a way to re?organize public schools, which are failing to educate students. But some education unions are against charter schools. One teachers' union has just released the results of the first national study, which compared the progress of students in both traditional schools and charter schools.

The results of the study show that charter school students performed worse on math and reading tests than the students in traditional public schools.

Some experts say the study is not fair because students in charter schools have more problems than students in traditional schools. Other education experts say the study results would make charter school officials realize that they should help their students make greater progress .

Watching a 3D movie can more than double the concentration powers and the cognitive（认知的）process of children,new re-search claims.

A study by visual technology firm Read and led by child psychologist Dr Richard Woolfson and associate lecturer at Goldsmiths Patrick Fagan suggests that children aged between 7 and 14 experienced twice the cognitive processing speed and performed better in tests after watching 20 minutes of a 3D film.

This suggests that children's attention spans have shortened in the last decade due to unlimited access to entertainment,including on-demand TV,gaming and social media.

A 2015 study claimed that watching 3D content had a similar effect to brain-training exercises.

Consumer psychologist Mr Fagan said that the increased stimulation found in watching something in 3D "exercised" the brain and improved performance in the short term.

3D films can play the role of brain-training "games and help to make children 'smarter' in the short term," he said. "The response speed after watching 3D was almost three times as quick as that gained from watching 2D; in other words,3D helps children process aspects of their environment more quickly.This is likely because 3D is a mentally exciting experience which 'gets the brain's juices flowing'."

1.How do we know the benefits of watching a 3D film?

A. Through introduction. B. By taking an exam.

C. Through research. D. By watching TV shows.

2.What's the meaning of the underlined word "stimulation" ?

A. Excitement. B. Contents.

C. Cost. D. Time.

3.Why does 3D have an advantage over 2D?

A. The time of watching 3D is short.

B. 3D can increase the reaction speed.

C. 3D can make children adapt the surroundings more quickly.

D. 3D can make more brain's power
