15、t situation to doing any activities24 Many children do not go to school either because their parents want them at home as carers for siblings, or simply because their parents cannot be bothered to send them. Thousands more are not registered at any school at all, because of their families unstable l

16、ives.Underlying this dreadful situation there are two central truths. First of all, the problem of children not going to school often has more to do with their parents than with the children themselves. Secondly, once children go to school, we need to make sure that the experience is a positive one

17、so that they want to keep on going.In Britain, the Ministry of Education has introduced a complex package of sticks and carrots to persuade schools to bring truants(children who do not go to school when they should)and excluded children back into the classroom. It is paying grants so that a thousand

18、 schools can set up special units to help these children. Schools receive the grant if they bring a target number of children back to school; if they do not meet the target, the grant is withdrawn. Parents are the subject of this campaign, too: the Home Office has introduced fines for parents who fa

Airplane traffic is increasing by five percent a year. Urban noise is doubling every ten yea

23、rs. By air, land and sea, we are facing an onslaught of noise that is threatening our ability to live in this world.We have granted ourselves the right to make noise. But what about our responsibilities? Have we developed a sense of acoustic responsibility?The evidence suggests that we have not. Man

24、y people seem to believe they have an unlimited right to make noise with cars and motorbikes, and with loud music at home and in the street. In some countries measures have been taken to force people to make less noise. In Britain, for example, a law has been passed preventing people from disturbing

25、 their neighbors with music at night.It is widely accepted that we should deal with our rubbish in a responsible way. Noise is in reality a particularly insidious(潜在的)form of rubbish. It destroys community life, pursues us into our homes, keeps us from sleeping and is the cause of many stress-relate

30、Act of Union, which united Scotland and England.A pair of Acts of Parliament, passed in 1706 and 1707 that came into effect on May 1 , 1707, created Great Britain. The parliaments of both countries were dissolved, and replaced by a new Parliament of Great Britain in Westminster, London.The poll show

32、ews to the Scottish Nationalist Party, who are hoping to make progress against Labor and further the cause of an independent Scotland.Many people have become disillusioned with devolution, and believe that the Scottish Parliament has failed to deliver what they had hoped it would; only a tenth has n

36、t Pacific Garbage Patch and doubles the size of the USA.The United Nations says there are now 18,000 pieces of plastic in every square kilometre of sea everywhere in the world.

38、h hormone disruptors. Scientists try to tell us that we are killing ourselves as well as other animals. At least 200 species are, as I speak, being killed by plastic.
