In the current economic downturn,many American schools are adding a new
subject:financial literacy(理财).One program in Virginia even gets students out of
the classroom for a day to learn how far their money will go in the real world. What
looks like a shopping mall is actually an educational field trip experience for a group of
young people.
Finance Park is a special place where students apply what they have been taught in
class about money management. The facility(设施)opened last year in Fairfax,
Virginia. It is the fifteenth Finance Park built in the last decade by Junior Achievement
USA,a non-profit organization helping to prepare young people for financial success.
"Since the financial crisis(危机),the demand for Finance Parks around the country
has grown,”says Ed Grenier,president of the Washington,DC chapter.
Financial literacy has only recently become part of the regular subjects in Fairfax
County.“Some students,some teachers,some schools did it,but now it is much
more systematic,”Reilly says,"and it can ensure that all students get this background
information.”That is why every eighth grade student in Fairfax County will eventually
spend a day here.
Thirteen-year-old Sam says she has learned an important life lesson.“I didn’t know
how expensive everything would be.”Anthony,also 13,is looking forward to telling
his parents what he learned.“I’11 probably tell them I want to stay a kid a little longer
and take my time to become an adult.”This isn't the end of financial studies for
Anthony and the other students here. Virginia is one of 23 states which requires
students to take a financial education class in high school in order to graduate.
68, The purpose of opening financial literacy is to_
A. help students learn how to make money
B. tell students what the financial crisis is
C. change the current economic downturn
D. prepare young people for financial success
69. From the text we know that Finance Park is
A. an actual shopping mall
B. a profit-making organization
C. an educational field trip experience for students
D. a special place for students to spend money freely
70. We can infer from the text that
A. financial literacy will be popular all over America
B. but for the financial crisis Finanle Park wouldn't have been opened
C. students can graduate after taking a financial literacy class in Finance Park
D. students are interested in Finance Park and have the benefit of it

As the father of a student, I have experienced first hand what a great teacher is. My son was in the 4th grade last year, and he had a teacher called Miss Green. I believe that when he is an adult he will surely look back on her as the best teacher he has ever had.
My son has attention deficit disorder(注意力缺损症) that makes it a little more difficult for him to learn. She was able to change her teaching methods for him so that he could keep up with the rest of the class. As a result, he got straight As on many subjects. She regarded her class as a family and they even had their own class song. She would often have them sing it to encourage them and develop a team spirit for them. When she saw that they were no longer listening carefully to what she was teaching, she would have them close their textbooks, stand up all around the room and throw around a small football. This helped them clear their minds and then focus on the lesson again. Besides, she was quick to reply to any phone calls or emails from us and got rid of our worries about children quickly.
When my son went to the 5th grade this year, we happened to pass her classroom. When she saw my son, her face lit up(露出喜色) and she came out and hugged him. She generally loves all of the children in her classroom and that love really shows. I can only pray(祈祷) that my son will continue to get teachers just like her for the rest of his school years.

she told the children a lie.Like most teachers,she looked at her students and said that she
loved them all the same.
But that was impossible,because there in the front row,slumped in his seat,was a little
boy named Teddy Stoddard.Mrs Thompson noticed that he didn't play well with the other
children,that his clothes were messy and that he constantly needed a bath.And Teddy could
be unpleasant.It got to the point where Mrs Thompson would actually take delight in marking
his papers with a broad red pen,making bold X's and then putting a big "F" at the top of his
papers.
However,when she reviewed his file,she got a surprise.

work neatly and

,but he is troubled because his mother has a terminal illness and life at home must be a struggle."
His third grade teacher wrote,"His mother's death has been hard on him.He tries to do his
best but his father doesn't show much interest and his home life will soon affect him if some
steps aren't taken."
Teddy's fourth grade teacher wrote,"Teddy is withdrawn and doesn't show much interest
in school.He doesn't have many friends and sometimes sleeps in class."
Now,Mrs Thompson was ashamed of herself and felt worse when her students brought
her beautifully wrapped Christmas presents.Teddy's present,however,was clumsily wrapped
in
bracelet with stones missing and a quarter full perfume bottle.How the children laughed!"What
a pretty bracelet!Mm,lovely perfume!Perfect on my wrist." The children were silent.
Alone together,after school,Teddy told Mrs Thompson,"Today you smelled just like my
Mom used to..." His teacher cried all night and,from that day,she stopped teaching reading,
writing,and arithmetic and began to teach children inste
