　　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 Unite States．Today, more than 2300 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 a 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 cannot 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 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．

Complete the following passage by filling in each blank with one word that best fits the context．

　　Hi, everyone! I will graduate from high school in June．Some of my foreign friends have asked me about the process of entering an American university, so here I will tell you how it works．

　　First you have to choose which university you want to attend．This is not easy, as there are over 3,000 universities and colleges in the USA．Do you want to stay near home, or do you want to go far away? What do you want to study? Once you have decided what is important to you, would suggest choosing about five schools to apply to．This way, if one or two schools do not accept you, you still have a chance of being accepted by the others．

　　After you have chosen which schools you．would like to apply to, you have to complete an application form for each one．You also need to ask two or three of your teachers to write letters to the universities explaining why you would be a good university student．For many people, the worst part of applying for university is taking tests．Depending on which college or university you want to enter, you have to take either the Scholastic Aptitude Test(SAT), which tests your language, math and writing skills, or the American College Test(ACT), which tests your knowledge in English, math, science and history．

　　After you have been accepted to a university, you need to be able to pay for your study there．To help students pay for their education, the government offers loans which students do not have to repay until after they graduate．Scholarships are also available to students who have excellent grades, are good athletes or have financial needs．Because university tuition is so expensive, many students also work part-time while they are at university．

　　University courses are quite different from classes at high school．You only attend each class two or three times a week, you have to study a lot more outside of class．Classes are much bigger too and some can have as many as 200 students in them．

　　There will be many new things to learn, but I think I will enjoy university．

　　Food is life：it gives us the nourishment(营养)we need to stay alive and be healthy．　　1　　 Brian Wansink, a professor at the University of Illinois, says we also eat certain foods because they make us feel good, and remind us of happy memories．Wansink calls this kind of food comfort food．For some people, ice cream is a comfort food．For others, a bowl of noodles soup makes them feel good．

　　　　2　　 Professor Wansink believes that we connect food with important times, feelings, and people in our lives．“When I was a child, my mother made a delicious soup; I loved it．　　3　　 And it helps me feel better,” Says one of Wansink’s coworkers．

　　Do men and women choose different comfort foods? Wansink’s research at the University of Illinois says “yes”．In his study, the favorite comfort food for both men and women was ice cream．After this, men usually preferred hot, savory(香的)foods like soup or noodles．　　4　　 Men and women like to eat comfort foods when they are happy, but women eat these foods more when they are sad or worried．

　　　　5　　 About 40 percent of the comfort foods in Wansink’s study were healthy main dishes or soups and vegetables．It shows, says Wansink, that a comfort food can taste good and be good for you．
