The US Department of Education gave a report to the expulsions as saying handguns accounted for 58

28、percent of the 6,093 expulsions in 2003-2004, against 7 percent for rifles(步枪) or shotguns and 35 percent for other types of firearms. “The report is a clear sign that our nation s public schools are cracking down(严惩) on students who bring guns to school,“ Education Secretary Richard Riley said in a

29、 statement. “We need to be strong-minded about keeping guns out of our schools and do everything to keep our children safe.“ In March 2004, an 11 years old boy and 13 years old boy using handguns and rifles shot dead four children and a teacher at a school in Jonesboro, Arkansas. In October, two wer

33、zen can own gunsD.teachers have no money to buy gunsAlthough the womens rights movement in the United States is thought of as a recent development, its beginnings date back over one hundred and seventy years. At that time women were dependents in the eyes of the law, and they did not have the rights

34、 of adults. A woman had no property rights, even over what she had got it from her mother or father or over any wages that she earned. Decisions about family matters and about the children were made by her husband, the “head of the family“. The first public protests (请愿) against the low position of

35、women were made in the 1830 s. In 1848 the leaders of this movement(some of whom were for antislavery(反对奴隶制) activities as well) assembled the first Womens Rights Convention, demanding equality. In this struggle as well as in the long, hard fight for womens vote, those who took part in the activitie

36、s were laughed at and insulted(侮辱). They were said to be immoral(违反伦理的), and their ideas were considered dangerous to society. Nevertheless by 1900 women had won the right to vote in several states; and in 1920 the Nineteenth Amendment to the Constitution granted them the right to vote throughout th

37、e United States. By the time many women were attending college, and increasing numbers were entering professions which had before been forbidden to women. A little number of women even held high academic and government positions. In spite of all this progress, “career women“ were largely restricted(

38、 受限制) to teaching, nursing, and office work. The Womens Liberation movement, which developed during the 1960s,has focused on economic rights such as “equal pay for equal work“. In addition some groups have stressed psychological and social equality. The main purpose of Womens Liberation to free wome

39、n from the restricted role which society has given to them. It seeks to enable them to choose between a career and the home or to choose the two. It claims that society as a whole would benefit if every person was allowed to develop his or her abilities and use them to the full. Womens Liberation be

A key first step in bettering your evaluation ability is to look carefully at your sources of health information. Reasonable evaluation includes knowing where and how

46、 to find relevant information, how to separate fact from opinion, how to recognize poor reasoning, and how to analyze information and the reliability of sources. 1 Go to the original source. Media reports often simplify the results of medical research. Find out for yourself what a study really reported, and determine whether it was based on good science. Think about the type of study. 2 Watch for misleading language. Some studies will find that a behavior “contributes to“ or is “associated with“ an outcome; this does not mean that a certain
