School violence is in the headlines again after recent shootings at schools in Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, and Colorado. After hearing the news, it’s natural for students — no matter how old they are or where they go to school — to worry about whether this type of incident may someday happen to them.
So how safe are schools? It’s actually safer to be in a school than in a car. Twice as many 15-to-19-year-olds die in car accidents than in shootings (and that’s all shootings, not just the ones that happen in schools). According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, less than 1% of all homicides (杀人罪) among school-age children happen on school grounds or on the way to and from school. So the vast majority of students will never experience violence at school.
However, some schools have re-evaluated their safety needs in response to the concerns of families and communities. Some now require that guests check in at the office or have more guards on duty. Some schools have fixed metal detectors. Another thing that helps make schools safer is greater awareness of problems like bullying and discrimination. Many schools have practiced programs to fight these problems and to help teachers and administrators know more about protecting students from this type of violence.
The cause of school violence isn’t easy to understand. There is no single reason why students become violent. Some are just copying behavior they’ve seen at home, in the streets, or in video games, movies, or television. There’s one thing experts do agree on, though: Having access to guns or other weapons makes it easier for some people to lash out against the things or people they don’t like.
1.Which of the following statements can prove that schools are safe?
|
A．About 99% of 15- to-19-year-olds are safe at school. |
|
B．Fewer students have died in car accidents than in shootings. |
|
C．Students shot to death at school are half of all students. |
|
D．Fatal shootings of students are less than 1% of all homicides. |
2. After schools have re-evaluated their safety needs, ________.
|
A．families will be more concerned about schools |
|
B．communities will be responsible for schools |
|
C．teachers will pay more attention to shootings |
|
D．administrators will arrange to have more guards on duty |
3.From the last paragraph we can conclude that ______.
|
A．experts have found no reason for school violence |
|
B．students with weapons are easily upset about things |
|
C．school violence could be copied from violence in society |
|
D．no single reason makes students violent |
4.We could probably see this passage in ______.
|
A．an analysis report |
B．a realistic novel |

The soldiers had just moved to the desert, and as they had never been in such a place before, they had a lot to learn.
As there were no trees or buildings in the desert, it was, of course, very hard to hide their trucks from enemy planes. The soldiers were, therefore, given training in camouflage. They were shown how to paint their trucks in irregular patterns with pale green, yellow, and brown paints, and then to cover them with nets to which they had tied small pieces of cloth.
The driver of the biggest truck had a lot of trouble camouflaging it. He spent several hours painting it, preparing a net and searching for some heavy rocks with which to hold the net down. When it was all finished, he went for lunch.
When he came back from his meal, he was surprised and worried to see that his camouflage was completely spoilt by the truck’s shadow, which was growing longer and longer as the afternoon advanced. He stood looking at it, not knowing what to do.
Soon an officer arrived, and he, too, saw the shadow, of course.
“Well,” he shouted to the poor driver, “What are you going to do about it? If an enemy plane comes over, the pilot will at once know that there is a truck there.”
“I know, sir,” answered the soldier.
“Well, don’t just stand there doing nothing!” said the officer.
“What shall I do, sir?” asked the poor driver.
“Get your spade and throw some sand over the shadow, of course!” answered the officer.

I’ll never forget my first daughter, who died too early from a bad accident. During those years, life was 36 . One Christmas I found my 3-year-old daughter 37 with a roll of golden wrapping paper. I had bought the paper to finish a rather important project. So I became 38 and scolded her loudly, “You are not good. And you are 39 your father’s money. You don’t know how hard your parents are working.” She was 40 and cried bitterly, running away.
41 , she brought a gift, a golden 42 made of golden wrapping paper to me the next morning and said, “This is for you, Daddy.” I was 43 of my earlier hurting words, but my anger rose again when I found out the box was 44 . I shouted at her, “Don’t you know, when you give someone a present, there is supposed to be something inside?” She 45 at me with tears in her eyes and cried, “Oh, Daddy, it’s not empty at all. I blew 46 into the box. They’re all for you, Daddy.”
I was completely 47 . I put my arms around her and begged for her 48 . A year later, a serious 49 took the life of my daughter. I was so sad that I 50 in bed for three days and three nights, saying nothing with tears rolling down my cheek. From then on, I hated cars and kept the golden box by my bed for many years. Whenever I was 51 , I would take out an imaginary kiss and 52 the love of my daughter who had put it there.
In a very real 53 , each one of us, as humans beings, has been given a golden container 54 with unconditional love and kisses ... from our children, family members, friends, and God. There are 55 no other possessions that anyone could hold more precious than this.
