6.Mr.Leonard，the principal of the Bedford Academy High School in Bedford-Stuyvesant，Brooklyn，is a man of many solutions，many of them creative，many of them，apparently, also effective.In New York City, only about 50 percent of students manage to graduate in four years.At Bedford Academy 63 percent of the students qualify for free lunch，a majority of which are being raised by a single mother and another significant number are being raised by someone other than a parent.Yet close to 95 percent of students graduate，and actually every one of those goes on to college.Mr.Leonard does not achieve those results by admitting only high-testing students into hisschool.Of the students arriving with lower test scores，Mr.Leonard says that he is not looking for the students with the highest grades，or even the best behavior.He’ S looking for the ones who understand his basic mission of discipline and respect，and are willing to devote themselves to his regular training course.The Bedford Academy High School is famous for its autonomy.For Mr.Leonard，autonomy means insisting that all entering students spend their Saturday mornings in preparatory classes the summer before they enroll.Autonomy also means an automatic weeklong suspension for any student who “disrespects a female，”said Mr.Leonar D.It means requiring struggling students，in the weeks before the Regents exams，to attend studying sessions on Saturday from 9 A.m.until 9 p.m.It means the most senior, experienced teachers，including Mr.Leonard，teach not the school’S academic jewels，but the most struggling students.And autonomy also means the school’ S teachers administer almost no omework.Instead they emphasize after-school tutoring where the teachers Can keep a better eye on whether the student is actually grasping the material.In Mr.Leonard’S school，most ofthe students who don’t have to pay for lunch____.

Passage ThreeOn a dry and cold Friday afenoon last October, Sharon Seline exchanged text messages with her daugher who was in college. They“chatted”back and forh, with the mom asking how things were going and the daugher answering psitively flowed by enotions (表情符) showing smils, b-i-g smiles and hearts.Later that night, her daughter attempted suicide.In the days that followed, it came to light that she' d hidden herself in her dorm, crying andshowing signs of depression- a completely different reality from the one that she conveyed in text and Facebook posts.As human beings,our only real method of connection is through real communication.Studies show that only7% of communication is based on writing and spraking.The majority of 93% is based on body language.Indeed,it’s only when we can heard a tone of voice or look into someone’s eyes that we’re able to know when“I'm fine" doesn't mean they' re fine all.This is where social media gets risky.With modem technology，anyone can hide beind the text,the e-mail,or the Facebook post,projecting any image they want and creating a false image of their choosing.They can be whoever they want to be .And without the ability to receive body language,their audiences are none the wiser. This presents a paradox which doesn’t exist before.With all the power social technologiesat our fingertips, we are more connected- and potentially more disconnected- than ever betore.Every relevant metric (衡量标准) shows that we are interacting at a great speed and frequency through social media. But are we really communicating? With 93% of our communication context (语境)lost, we are now attempting to establish relationships and make decisions based on phrases or emoticons,which may or may not accurately represent the truth.What is true about today' s communication through social media?

Most people generally 21 them and the job they do-although there are certain people who do not believe that the police 22 have the power that they do.What does a policeman actually do? It is not 23 job to describe. After all, a policeman has a number of jobs in one.

We call the police. 32 a policeman has to be prepared to face any unpleasant emergency that may happen in the 33 world.The police do an absolutely necessary job, they do it 34 well and I support them, but I do not envy policeman.

Passage Two

In the modern technological world the sea offers many resources to help mankind survive. (82)Resources on land are beginning to grow less. The sea, however, still offers hope to supply many of man’s needs.

The riches of the sea yet to be developed by man’s technology are impressive. Oil and gas explorations have existed for nearly thirty years. Valuable amounts of minerals such as iron, nickel and copper and so on exist on the ocean floor, ready to be mined.

Fish farming promises to be a good way to produce large quantities of food.The culture of fish and shellfish is an ancient skill practiced in the past mainly by Oriental peoples.

Besides oil and gas, the sea may offer new sources of energy. Experts believe that the warm temperature of the ocean can be used in a way similar to the steam in a steamship. Ocean currents and waves offer possible use as a source of energy such as hydroelectric power.

Technology is enabling man to explore ever deeper under the sea.The new undersea technology is providing divers with diving suits and undersea chambers that are kept at sea level pressure. The development of strong,new materials has made this possible. The technology to harvest the sea continues to improve. By the year 2000, experts believe that the problems to exploit the food, minerals, and energy sources of the sea will be largely solved.It can be inferred from the passage that_______.
