Directions:
Read the following passage. Complete the diagram by using the information for the
passage. Write NO MORE THAN 3 WORDS for each answer.
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 United States. Today, more than 2,300
charter schools operate in 34 states and the District of Columbia . 575,000 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 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 can not 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 their 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.

Directions:
Read the following passage. Answer the questions according to the information given
in the passage and required words limit.
I was shopping
in the supermarket when I heard a young voice boom from across the aisle.
“Mom, come
here! There’s this lady here my size!”
The mother
rushed to a boy she called Mickey; then she turned to me to apologize.
I smiled
and told her, “It’s okay.” Then I talked to the boy, “Hi, Mickey, I’m Darry Kramer.
How are you?”
He studied
me from head to toe, and asked, “Are you a little mommy?”
“Yes, I
have a son.”I answered.
“Why are
you so little?” he asked.
“. . .
It is the way I was born. ” I said. “ Some people are little. Some are tall. I’m
just not going to grow any bigger. ” After about five more minutes of answering
questions, I shook Mickey’s hand, and here turned to his mother.
My life
as a little person is filled with stories like that. I enjoy talking to children
and explaining why I look different from their parents. It has taken many years
to develop my confidence to be able to do that.
It takes
only one glance to see my uniqueness. I stand three feet, nine inches tall. I was
born an achondroplasia dwarf(侏儒). Despite this, my parents encouraged me to do all the things the kids around
me did when I was growing up. When my neighbors got two-wheel bikes, I got a two-
wheel bike. When they roller-skated, I roller-skated.
I didn’t
realize how short I was until I started school. There, a few kids picked on me,
calling me names. Then I knew. After that, I began to hate the first day of school
each year. I didn’t know who was new and would stare at me as I struggled to climb
the school bus stairs.
As time
went on, I just tried to smile and accept the fact that I was going to be noticed
my whole life. I was determined to make my uniqueness an advantage rather than a
disadvantage. What I lacked in height, I made up for in personality.
I’m 47
now, and the stares have not diminished as I’ve grown older. People look in disbelief
when they see me get out of my car off the driver’s side. During those times, I
try to keep a good attitude. When people are rude, I remind myself, “Look what else
I have-a great family. Nice friends. ”
And it’s
the children’s questions that make my life special. When I talk with children, they
leave content that their questions have been answered. My hope is that in taking
time with them, I will encourage them to accept their peers whatever size and shape
they come in, and treat them with respect.
