   Budget cuts and an increased focus on testing have made field trips,once a popular way to get students out of the classroom,increasingly rare.

   “Local school districts don't have the funds (money kept for particular purposes) anymore”’ says Stephanie Norby,director ofthe Smithsonian Center for Education and Museum Studies in Washington,   D. C. The Smithsonian museums are some of the most popular field trip destinations in the country. Although there is little hard data to definitively prove that schools are taking fewer field trips,Norby says it seems as though fewer schools have visited the Smithsonian in recent years.

   Money once spent on field trips is being spent to help students prepare for standardized tests that might make or break a teacher's evaluation,according to Randi Weingarten,president of the American Federation of Teachers,a union that represents more than 1 million educators nationwide.

   “In school these days,if people have a dollar to spare,they spend it on test prep because they get regulated there,”she says.

   Field trips provide students with a window to the real world that they don't get in the classroom,and they can help students . understand real-world applications of seemingly abstract topics in math and science,says Weingarten.

   Susan Singer,CEO of Field Trip Factory,an organization that has spent the last 18 years designing free field trip outlines for schools nationwide,says she thinks schools are merely scheduling around testing.

   “During testing periods,we don't see a lot of field trips,” she says. “Either right before or right after a standardized test,we get a shut door.” 

   Spending time outside the classroom doesn't mean students aren't learning knowledge that could show up on standardized tests. Several studies have shown that students acquire more information and skills through the type of experience-based learning that field trips provide when compared to in-class learning.

   A field trip should be relevant to topics students are studying in school. That way,the Smithsonian's Norby says,it will have a lasting effect.

   A. Students dislike the trips.

   B. They are short of finances.

   C. They have fewer destinations.

   D. Field trips are harder to organize.

33. What do we learn from Weingarten?

   A. Standardized tests can measure student learning.

   B. Money for field trips is used for test preparation.

   C. Schools’ education budgets are properly regulated.

   D. Schools encourage students to know the real world.

   A. may lead to lower test scores

   B. sometimes waste a lot of time

Long bus rides are like television shows. They have a beginning,a middle,and an end with commercials (商业广告) thrown in every three or four minutes. The commercials are unavoidable. They happen whether you want them or not. Every couple of minutes a billboard glides by outside the bus window. uBuy Super Clean Toothpaste. 44 Drink Good Wet Root Beer." “Fill up with Pacific Gas." Only if you sleep,which is equal to turning the television set off,are you spared the unending cry of “You Need It!Buy It Now!”

The beginning of the ride is comfortable and somewhat exciting,even if youVe traveled that way before. Usually some things have changed—new houses,new buildings,sometimes even a new road. The bus driver has a style of driving and it's fun to try to figure it out the first hour or so. If the driver is par-ticularly reckless (鲁莽的) or daring,the ride can be as thrilling as a suspense (悬疑) story. Will the driver pass the truck in time? Will the driver move into the right or the left hand lane? After a while,of course,the excitement dies down. Sleeping for a while helps pass the middle hours of the ride. Food always makes bus rides more interesting. But you’ve got to be careful of what kind of food you eat. Too much salty food can make you very thirsty between stops.

The end of the ride is somewhat like the beginning. You know it will soon be over and there' s a kind of expectation and excitement in that. The seat,of course,has become harder as the hours have passed. By now you’ve sat with your legs crossed,with your hands in your lap,with your hands on the armrest or even with your hands crossed behind your head. The end comes just at the right time. There are just no more ways to sit.
