Exceptional children differ from average children in mental characteristics, sensory abilities, physical characteristics, emotional behaviour, or communication abilities to the extent that they require s
19、pecial educational services to develop their 1 . The Department of Education 2 that 10 to 20 percent of the children in the Unite States suffer from handicaps. Another 2 to 3 percent are considered gifted. Special education provides these children with learning experiences suitable to their unique a
20、bilities. Caring for people who have disabilities is a relatively 3 idea. In ancient times disabled people were left to die. During the Middle Ages they were treated more 4 , but it was not thought that they could learn. In the 19th century, residential treatment centres were 5 , first in Europe and
21、 then in the US by individual states, to care for people who were blind, deaf, severely retarded, or suffered from severe emotional disorders. By the 20th century, 6 classes and public day schools were begun, but these served very few children. After World War the attitude of Americans concerning th
22、e education of persons who were disabled changed significantly. 7 for special education was assumed by state legislatures and the federal government. Parent groups formed to 8 for the rights of children with disabilities, joined with professional educational programs. In 1925 the US congress passed

A new study conducted for the World Bank by Murdoch University“s Institute f
25、or Science and Technology Policy (ISTP) has demonstrated that public transport is more efficient than cars. The study compared the proportion of wealth poured into transport by thirty-seven cities around the world. This included both the public and private costs of building, maintaining and using a
26、transport system. B. The study found that the Western Australian city of Perth is a good example of a city with minimal public transport. As a result, 17% of its wealth went into transport costs. Some European and Asian cities, on the other hand, spent as little as 5%. Professor Peter Newman, ISTP D
27、irector, pointed out that these more efficient cities were able to put the difference into attracting industry and jobs or creating a better place to live. C. According to Professor Newman, the larger Australian city of Melbourne is a rather unusual city in this sort of comparison. He describes it a
28、s two cities: “A European city surrounded by a car-dependent one“. Melbourne“s large tram network has made car use in the inner city much lower, but the outer suburbs have the same car-based structure as most other Australian cities. The explosion in demand for accommodation in the inner suburbs of
29、Melbourne suggests a recent change in many people“s preferences as to where they live. D. Newman says this is a new, broader way of considering public transport issues. In the past, the case for public transport has been made on the basis of environmental and social justice considerations rather tha
30、n economics. Newman, however, believes the study demonstrates that “the auto-dependent city model is inefficient and grossly inadequate in economic as well as environmental terms“. E. Bicycle use was not included in the study but Newman noted that the two most “bicycle friendly“ cities consideredAms
31、terdam and Copenhagenwere very efficient, even though their public transport systems were“reasonable but not special“. F. It is common for supporters of road networks to reject the models of cities with good public transport by arguing that such systems would not work in their particular city. One o
32、bjection is climate. Some people say their city could not make more use of public transport because it is either too hot or too cold. Newman rejects this, pointing out that public transport has been successful in both Toronto and Singapore and, in fact, he has checked the use of cars against climate
33、 and found “zero correlation“. G. When it comes to other physical features, road lobbies are on stronger ground. For example, Newman accepts it would be hard for a city as hilly as Auckland to develop a really good rail network. However, he points out that both Hong Kong and Zurich have managed to m
34、ake a success of their rail systems, heavy and light respectively, though there are few cities in the world as hilly. H. In fact, Newman believes the main reason for adopting one sort of transport over another is politics: “The more democratic the process, the more public transport is favoured.“ He
35、considers Portland, Oregon, a perfect example of this. Some years ago, federal money was granted to build a new road. However, local pressure groups forced a referendum over whether to spend the money on light rail instead. The rail proposal won and the railway worked spectacularly well. In the year
36、s that have followed, more and more rail systems have been put in, dramatically changing the nature of the city. Newman notes that Portland has about the same population as Perth and had a similar population density at the time. I. In the UK, travel times to work had been stable for at least six cen
37、turies, with people avoiding situations that required them to spend more than half an hour travelling to work. Trains and cars initially allowed people to live at greater distances without taking longer to reach their destination. However, public infrastructure did not keep pace with urban sprawl, c
38、ausing massive congestion problems which now make commuting times far higher. J. There is a widespread belief that increasing wealth encourages people to live farther out where cars are the only viable transport. The example of European cities refutes that. They are often wealthier than their Americ
39、an counterparts but have not generated the same level of car use. In Stockholm, car use has actually fallen in recent years as the city has become larger and wealthier. A new study makes this point even more starkly. Developing cities in Asia, such as Jakarta and Bangkok, make more use of the car th
40、an wealthy Asian cities such as Tokyo and Singapore. In cities that developed later, the World Bank and Asian Development Bank discouraged the building of public transport and people have been forced to rely on carscreating the massive traffic jams that characterize those cities. K. Newman believes
41、one of the best studies on how cities built for cars might be converted to rail use is The Urban Village report, which used Melbourne as an example. It found that pushing everyone into the city centre was not the best approach. Instead, the proposal advocated the creation of urban villages at hundre
42、ds of sites, mostly around railway stations. L. It was once assumed that improvements in telecommunications would lead to more dispersal in the population as people were no longer forced into cities. However, the ISTP team“s research demonstrates that the population and job density of cities rose or
43、 remained constant in the 1980s after decades of decline. The explanation for this seems to be that it is valuable to place people working in related fields together. “The new world will largely depend on human creativity, and creativity flourishes where people come together face-to-face.“（分数：71.00）

These may be trade certificates, but also educational qualifications such as degrees or diplomas, that you have completed or partially-completed. It is common for hiring personnel to have little or no training in evaluati

Education is a hiring requirement for 60% of employment opportunities, but 40% of human resources staff say that if they do not know a lot about the value of documents attained elsewhere, they will not recognize them. Research has shown that sometimes immigrants start with a lower salary level than people who have completed their training in North Americ
