Students in U.S.public schools have been hitting the books harder these days－and their efforts appear to be paying off in the form of higher test scores and more graduating high school seniors going to college.That’s according to Education Secretary Richard Riley,who says a five-year study of the public school systems in the nation shows students are performing better in reading,science ad maths.He says they are also taking more difficult classes.Third of the students went on to college while the rest headed off to farm,factory or homemaking.About 67 percent of graduating high school seniors now go directly on to college compared to 60 percent 10 years ago.Educ-
ators,Riley said,are beginning to take steps to meet students’ various needs—including special education,special schools and programs for non-English speakers.He expected technology would lead to an education system less reliant on(依赖于) bricks-and-mortar buildings and fixed-class timetable.
Riley’s description of the coming education was mostly rosy,but he admitted that some students in lower-
income and minority districts were still struggling,“This is a gapping hole in our plan to complete the American promise,and it will only get bigger if we do not close the difference,” he said.
Riley encouraged the business groups to do more to support education in their towns and cities,and suggested school districts improving both teacher training and salaries.

A grown-up person has ten or eleven pints（品脱）of blood inside his or her body. We can lose a pint of blood without feeling anything, but if we lose a great deal of blood, we feel weak and cold. Our faces become pale. We may die.
This is what often happens when somebody is hurt in an accident（事故）or a soldier is hurt in a battle Many people used to die in this way. But nowadays（当今）they can be taken to the hospital. If they are given more blood at once, they will feel better. Their faces are no longer pale. They do not die.
Where does this blood come from? People who are healthy give some blood so that it can be used in this way. Every three months they go to a place where blood is collected. A special kind of needle（注射针）is put into the arm. It does not hurt. The blood runs through the needle and through a rubber tube（胶管）into a bottle. A pint of blood is taken in this way. Then the person who has given the blood drinks a cup of tea or coffee. He sits down for a few minutes. Then he feels quite well and goes off. Three months later he comes back and gives another pint.

I'm from the South Bronx. At 7, my neighborhood was the beginning and end of my universe. It was a small town to me. Everyone knew each other, so if you got into trouble in school, chances are your mom knew about it before you got home. I felt watched over and safe.
But just before I turned 8, things began to change. I watched two buildings on my block burn down. I remember seeing my neighbor Pito go up and down the fire escape to get people out. Where were the firemen? Where was the truck? Somebody must have called them.
That same summer, after serving two tours in Vietnam, my brother was killed in the South Bronx. He was shot above the left eye and died instantly.
People who could moved out of the neighborhood, and all I wanted to do was get out, too. I used education to get away from there and got good at avoiding the topic of where I was from. To be from the South Bronx meant that you were not a good person. It felt like a stain.
After college, I didn't want to come back to the South Bronx, but in order to afford graduate school, I had to. I was almost 30 and could only afford to live at my parents' home. It felt like a defeat, and I hated it.
At the same time, the city was planning a huge waste facility here, and no one seemed to care — including many of us who lived here. They were like, "Well, it's a poor community; what's the difference?"
I was very angry. It drove me to act. It moved my spirit in a way that I didn't know was possible. And it changed my beliefs — it changed the way I felt about myself and my community. I worked hard with others who felt the same way, and together, we defeated the plan.
After that, I realized it's just as important to fight for something as it is to fight against something. So we dreamed up a new park on the site of an illegal waste dump — and after many community clean-ups, along with $3 million from the city, we have one. And it's a glory. It was the seed from which many new plans for our community have grown.
Today, the South Bronx is no longer a stain; it's a badge(象征) of honor for me. I believe that where I'm from helps me to really see the world. Today, when I say I'm from the South Bronx, I stand up straight. This is home, and it always will be.
