“I had a Welsh speaking test. I'd had to memorize a paragraph in front of the whole class. I just couldn’t do it,” says 13-year-old Mary. “I pretended to be ill.” But Mary did not enjoy her day off. “I watched TV all day — it was boring. I wished I had gone to school.”
Mary’s story is not unusual in Britain. According to the latest government figures, pupil absences are rising, despite schools taking a hard line on truancy (逃学)．
Philippa James, a PhD researcher at Cardiff University’s school of social sciences, thinks she knows why: “The more schools improve methods of detection（检查）, the more children work out better methods of deception.” Teenagers told her it was now harder to skip a single lesson, so they’d miss whole days to avoid being caught.
For several years, James has researched student truancy of 60 teenagers, aged 13 and 14, including Mary, to see how the teenagers truant, for how long, and why.
Through online conversations and face-to-face interviews, she discovered that most truancy was “a response to factors within the school”. Truants are not necessarily less advanced or less intelligent. They complained of teachers who failed to engage them, and of “boring” lessons. “Many truants really enjoy school and believe in education, but drop out when aspects of it were ineffective.” James says.
The views of students like Adam, who believes that skipping lessons has little impact on his schooling, were common. “I only take-off for a lesson, or a couple of days. It doesn’t affect my education,” he told James.
James’ study concludes that schools need to address the question of why pupils want to leave in the first place. “Pupils need help from the start.” she says. “It’s a two-way process – schools must be responsive. We need to look at the reasons for truancy rather than the number, so that instead of walking away from school, students have the skills and chances to talk through problems and make a change.”
1.What is one of the reasons for school truancy according to James’ study?
A. Truants are fallen behind in their studies.
B. Truants have no interest in school subjects.
C. Truants have more interesting things to do.
D. Truants are not satisfied with the teachers.
2.The underlined phrase “taking a hard line” (paragraph 2) is closest in meaning to“ ”.
A. experiencing a problem withB. having a strict attitude towards
C. finding it difficult to solveD. having little success with
3. By citing Adam's remark, James wants to show that .
A. school education is not efficient and needs improvement
B. it’s a popular belief that occasional truancy won't cause much harm
C. school truancy is becoming more serious and needs more concern
D. even good students may sometimes need a break from school
4. What is Philippa James’ suggestion to schools?
A. Schools should solve the problem of teachers.
B. Schools should be more active in helping beginner truants.
C. Schools should have a better control of hidden truants.
D. Schools should find out who truant and how they it.
With only fish and birds for company, Eric Erden has been rowing across the Pacific Ocean to Australia in his 23-foot-long boat since he left California on July 10, 2009.
But crossing the Pacific is only part of his incredible journey. Eric has decided to go all the way around the world using only his own energy. He will row, bike, and walk without help from any motors at all. Oh, and his plan includes climbing the tallest peak on six of the continents along the way, to honour the memory of a fellow climber.
He says he is doing this to show kids that they can achieve any goal, but he hopes to have some great adventures along the way.
As a solo traveller, Eric has already faced disappointments and challenges. Because he has to row about ten hours a day, he brought along an MP3 player to listen to music and pass the time. Unfortunately, the nearly daily tropical rain for several months has forced him to keep his player packed away where it's safe and dry.
Storms and huge wave wind regularly force him in the wrong direction and even threaten to overturn his boat. “Sometimes I really feel scared,” says a somewhat embarrassed Eric. “But that’s all part of the journey. I knew this wouldn’t be easy when I started. That's why I gave myself two years to finish.”
Protein bars（蛋白棒） give him energy, and he boils water to heat freeze-dried meals on a one-burner stove. A solar-powered machine removes salt from ocean water so he can drink it, but only when the sun shines. When that fails he sometimes tries to collect rainwater in buckets.
He’s not bothered by any of the hardships. Eric sees the world as a laboratory where there is much to learn. And when his trip around the world takes him across land, he enjoys meeting people - especially children. He has already visited several schools and shared his story.
1.Why is Eric making this trip?
A. To encourage children to reach for their goal.
B. To learn more about the world around us.
C. To have many great adventures in strange lands.
D. To honour the memory of a fellow climber.
2.What does Eric plan to do on each of the six continents he will visit?
A. Visit schools to share his story.
B. Study the culture of the local people.
C. Climb the tallest mountain.
D. Cycle from one end to the other.
3.When does Eric expect to finish his journey?
A. July 2009. B. June 2010.
C. January 2011.D. July 2011.
4.Which of the following words best describes Eric’s character?
A. Determined. B. Intelligent.
C. Fearless.D. Lonely.
