    The passage mainly develops by . A. giving reasons B. showing examples C. presenting questions D. offering solutions D Every time an election rolls around, people want to know what each candidate’s stance is on the issue that are important to them. In deciding which candidate I want to vote for, there are two main issues for me:the economy and education. These issues are important to me because they affect me the most right now.The economy affects everyone, and education is important because I am about to enter college.When I looked at how each candidate views these issues, one man stood out to me, and that is Democratic candidate Barack Obama. I like all of Senator Obama’s ideas for improving the economy. He wants to bring the troops home from Iraq, thereby saving the $12 billion we spend there every month.Another point that Obama makes is that the United States’current energy policy is hurting the economy.He believes thal if new energy bills are passed, it will help the U.S.A get out of its current economic slump , and I agree. With these ideas and strategies, I strongly believe that Obama can improve the current state of the economy. Obama also has a plan to improve education. He believes that we need to start educating children at a young age. He also hopes to close the gap of achievement between students,which means improving schools that need help. He wants to pay teachers more and treat them like professionals, but in exchange he calls for higher responsibility. Obama also has a plan to make college more affordable. He wants public colleges to be free for students who maintain a“B average during high school. And he plans to give a $4,000 tax credit for college and university students who complete 100 hours of community service each year.I believe these ideas to improve education are good enough and will help many students. Therefore, there is no longer any doubt in my mind who will be receiving my vote:Barack Obama. 【查看更多】

         I am truly saddened about what is going on in my school district, especially in the school where I am
    currently working.
        Why are so many students not doing well? Why is there such a huge achievement gap between urban
    and suburban students? Just this week, in my school the seventh grade team leader called a meeting to
    discuss academic detention (放学后留校). The purpose of the detention is to allow students who are
    doing poorly a second chance to redo the work. Now if a student did not understand an assignment I
    have no trouble allowing that student to redo a test or give some extra credit work, but if a student did
    poorly because he/she opted(选择) not to do the work out of sheer laziness, that student should not be
    given a second chance.
        And parents should be held accountable for their children. That is another reason why there is such a
    huge achievement gap. All children should be monitored at home in order to achieve great success in
    school. Perhaps it might be a great idea for urban school districts to offer free classes to parents on how
    to help their students at home. Of course this idea is far fetched, after all we do not want to offend the
    parents. What we will do instead is to spend a fortune on teacher training because if the kids are not
    doing well it must be the fault of the teacher. That kind of mindset, if allowed to continue will be a perfect
    recipe for greater achievement gaps.
         I started working at my current school in August and I have been in the teaching field for 25 years.
    What I believe is that you can lead a horse to water but you can't make that  horse drink. You can't
    force kids to change bad habits over  night, nor can we afford to lower standards just so a kid can  pass
    a class.

    1. The seventh grade team leader in the author's school called    a meeting to ________.
    A. analyse the reason for the huge achievement gap between students
    B. find out who is to blame for the huge achievement gap between students
    C. talk about giving students who are doing poorly a second  chance to redo the work
    D. discuss how to narrow the huge achievement gap between students

    A. if he did poorly the first time
    B. for whatever reason he did poorly the first time
    C. if he failed the first time in spite of his efforts
    D. if he comes from a suburban area

    3. In the last paragraph, the author intends to tell us that ________.
    A. a student can make improvement only when he is willing to
    B. teachers are to blame if his students are doing poorly
