【正文】 chools, as many as 2040% of the students are absent each day. There are two major reasons for such absences: one is sickness, and the other is truancy. That is staying away from school without permission. Since school officials can‘t do much about the illness, they are concentrating on reducing the number of truancy.

Classes are told if they show improved rates of attendance, they can win additional gifts. At the same time, teachers are encouraged to inspire their students to e to school regularly. When those teachers are successful, they are also rewarded. ―we‘ve been punishing truancy for years, but that hasn‘t brought them back to school,‖ One school principal said. Now we are trying the positive approach. Not only do you learn by showing up every day, but you earn. In San Francisco, the board of education has had a somewhat similar idea. Schools that show a decrease in deliberate destruction of property can receive the amount of money that would be spent on repairs and replacements. For example, 12,000 dollars had been set aside for a school‘s property damages every year. Since repair expenses of damaged property required only 4,000 dollars, the remaining 8,000 dollars was turned over to the student activity fund. ―Our democracy operates on hope and encouragement,‖ said the school board member. ―Why not provide some positive goals for students and teachers to aim at?‖ 18 which reason for students‘ absences is discussed in great detail? 19 who will benefit from the scheme being tried in Florida? 20 what measure has been taken in San Francisco to reduce the destruction of school property? ［答案］ 110 DABCA ADCAB 1120 CDAAB DCCDB 2020年 6月英語六級真題聽力原文 Section A 1.

All I said was if he didn39。t get out and start selling a few cars instead of idling around all day, he might find himself looking for a new job. Q: What does the man say about Jim? 5. M: Hello, Mary. This is Paul at the bank. Is Tony home? W: Not yet. Paul. I don39。t think you can reach him at the office now, either.

Q: Where does the conversation most probably take place? 9. W: I am worried about Jenny going to college. College students are so wild nowadays. M: Actually, only a few are like that.

I made it pass the first cut the first year I applied, but was turned down for admission. I was crushed, because for years I have been determined to bee a physical therapist. I received advice from friends and relatives about changing my major and finding another course for my life. I just couldn39。t do it. I knew I could not be as happy in another profession. So I stilled myself, began to work seriously for another year and reapplied. Happily I received notice of my admission. Later, I found out that less than 15% of the applicant had been offered positions that year. Now in the first two years of professional training, I couldn39。t be happier with my decision not to give up on my dream. My father told me that if I wanted it badly enough, I would get in. Well, Daddy, I wanted it. So there. After graduation, I would like to travel to another country, possibly a Latin American country and work in a children39。s hospital for a year or two.
