VI. 阅读理解(原创)
US president(总统) Barack Obama gave a speech about US school last month. He said that US students need to spend more time at school.
“I think the idea of a longer school year makes sense (有意义的) ,” he said. He said US students spend less time in the classroom than children in other countries.
Some education experts (专家)agree. They say US kids should spend more time in the classroom so they can catch up with students elsewhere in the world.
“Students in other countries are better than US kids in academics (学术),” said education expert Arne Duncan. “If you practice basketball five times a week, you’re going to be better than the people who practice three times a week.”
US schools have 180 school days every year; fewer than schools in many other countries. For example, China and Japan both have more than 200 school days.
Summer vacation in the US is long. It lasts about 10 weeks. In the past, students needed the summer off to work on family farms. Now, experts say the long vacation is a loss of time for learning.
However, it is hard to change tradition.
Some schools tried to have a longer school year this year, but parents didn’t agree with the change.
“People were just not ready for kids to be in school all summer long,” said Diane DeBacker, an education expert. “Kids wanted to go swimming. Their families wanted to go on vacation.”
