17、 stretch of road. 36 I was going along cheerfully, thinking about the dinner I would eat when I got to Salistury.

27、e there at the time. So if we want to study the history of China in the sixth century AD, we look at the writings of the people who lived then. They are called the primary sources because they tell us what it was like to live then. People at a much later date who write about the same events are call
28、ed the secondary sources. For example, when we read the original writings of Jia Sixie on agriculture, we are reading a primary source; when we read about Jia Sixie in our textbook we are reading secondary source because the passage was written about him and his ideas many years after he died. When
29、we make news, we use primary and secondary sources. We can see this most clearly in TV programmes. As we watch the news on TV, the person presenting the programme in the studio is the secondary source( because he tells us about the news) and the reporter in Iraq or Washington is the primary source (
30、because he is telling us about what is actually happening there). Without these reporters acting as primary sources, you would never find out what really happened in a war, earthquake, sports meeting, concert or festival. These reporters explain what is happening, so we have a clearer idea of what i
31、s going on there. They often take photographers with them who act as primary source by giving pictures of events. In a newspaper, the position is different because these two roles are often combined. This means a reporter who investigates a story may be the same person who writes it. If this happens
32、, the reporter is both the primary and the secondary source. But the photographer who works with him/her is still a primary source. One of the reasons that it is important to separate primary and secondary sources is that they help us to decide what is a fact and what is an opinion. A fact is someth
33、ing that everybody agrees has happened. An opinion is somebodys idea of what happened. So facts and opinions are often mixed in any report, whether in a newspaper or on TV. What have you learnt from the above passage Primary Source Primary sources are the writing of the people who lived at (1)_time
34、and offer an inside view of a particular event. Secondary source Secondary sources are the writings of the people who write about the same events at a much later date with explanation and analysis (2)_ on primary sources. News on TV The TV (3)_ in the studio is the secondary source while the reporte
35、r on the (4) _ is the primary source. News in a newspaper A newspaper reporter can be both primary and secondary source if he collects the information and then (5) _ the news. But the photographer(6) _ with the reporter is always a primary source. Fact A fact is something that everybody agrees has h
36、appened. In other (7)_, it is something that is (8) _. Opinion An opinion is somebodys idea of what (9)_ on. Conclusion Primary and secondary sources are both important for (10)_ the truth. 答案： 【小题 1】 that/ the 【小题 2】 based 【小题 3】 presenter 【小题 4】 scene/ spot 【小题 5】 writes 【小题 6】 working 【小题 7】 Word

41、nomically for decades. Students at Kuss have struggled, too, usually falling short of making the academic progress required under the No Child Left Behind law. Then, last year, the school experimented with extending the school day. Teachers got paid at a higher hourly rate. Students werent thrilled
42、at first with leaving school at 4:15 p.m. instead of at 2:20 p.m. But the added hours gave them more time for physical education and let them select special interest classes. By the end of the year, student scores had risen by enough to enable Kuss to make the progress required under the federal No

45、oped countries, the United States is near the bottom in the rankings of average weekly instructional time in school. Measured over 12 years, students in the top-scoring countries spend the equivalent of a full extra year in school. US students perform poorly on math and science tests compared to the
46、ir international peers, according to a US Education Department comparison released earlier this month. In math, American 15-year-old scored near the bottom among the studys 30 developed countries. Most countries that boost the number of minutes spent on math instruction find pay offs in improved mat
47、h scores, according to a study released this month by the Brookings Institution. Small increases in the school day are more effective than a longer school year, the report concluded. The most encouraging news about the benefits of extending the school day comes from Massachusetts, where an experiment with 10 schools, including Kuss, appears to be working. Those 10 schools lengthened their instructional days by 25% and boosted their state scores in math, English and science at all grades. Perhaps the concept wont wor
