Too many parents have a tough time get clear and accessible information about the public
schools at their communities. That is why President Clinton had announced an initiative
requiring all states to produce annual reports cards that are easily understood by and widely
distributing to parents and the public, for each school, school district and the state as a whole.
The report cards will include information to student achievement, teacher professionally
qualifications, class size, school safety and other factors that will help parents judging the
overall performance of the schools. President Clinton’s proposal will help ensure which parents
in every state have access to the information they need to determine the quality of their schools
and identity areas in which improvement is needed.

The history of surfing

0/……G….
It is generally believed that the ancient Polynesians were the first to surf and to introduce surfing
to the Hawaiian islands in the central Pacific Ocean. In fact, early records show that surfing was
at its height in the late 18th century. During the next century, the sport declined, but by the
beginning of the 20th century its popularity had increased again and it gradually became an
established water sport.

1/ ……..E

Hawaii has the best surf in the world but the beaches are among the most dangerous, partly
because they are overcrowded. During October each year, there are huge swells in which the
waves can be almost twenty meters high. These waves then move to the southern hemisphere in
April.

2/…………I

If a surfer gets sucked into the centre of one of these waves and then flung onto the shore as the
waves breaks, the force can be life-threatening. And if the weight of the water does not make
them unconscious, the wave can drag them under water long enough for them to drown.

3/………….A

To most people, a twenty meter high wave is Nature’s way of saying: stay away. It’s the oceanic
equivalent of a lion’s roar: get closer and you will be killed but there are some surfers who
actually find these dangers one of the most attractive features of the sport.

4/……….F

In the second half of the twentieth century one main in particular was responsible for fresh
enthusiasm in the sport. He was a California surfer called jack O’Neil who was determined to
create a suit that would keep people warm in the waters of northern California, and at the same
time would allow complete freedom of movement.

5/………..H

He experimented with various materials without much success until during a plane journey in
1952, he came across a substance called neoprene. Using this material he created a wetsuit made
of rubber which kept surfers warm and made surfing a year round activity in climates which
would otherwise be too cold for part of the year.

6/……….D

Over the year wetsuits have been used for everything from deep-sea diving to board sports which
take place on land, like skateboarding. In 1988 O’Neil’s original wetsuits were used for the first
ever snowboarding world cup event, reflecting O’Neil’s belief that snow is only frozen water and
snowboarding takes place over and snowboarding takes place over frozen waves.
7/………..B

One surfer who recently rode a giant wave off the Pacific island of Tahiti astonished onlookers
by walking away without a scratch. This same man now want to surf a wave called Jaws , which
crashes onto the shore of Maui, one of the Hawaiian islands, for only a few days each year. Jaws
can reach a height of over twenty -five meters and is known to the surfing world as the mount
Everest of surfing.

CHILD HEROES

Boy sees a typhoon

Scott is a 10-year old pupil from America. At the beach on a trip to Japan with his family, he
looked up at the sky and saw two layers of dark clouds which were moving in different
directions. He was taught at school that the sign indicates the unstable atmosphere. He told his
mom the bad weather might be coming. A few minutes later, the atmospheric pressure was
getting lower and lower. Scott thought that there might soon be a typhoon - a gigantic storm.
Smartly, Scott persuaded people to evacuate to a safe place to avoid the typhoon which followed
15 minutes later. Once it came, a huge wave crashed on the seafront and caused massive
destruction. Thanks to his quick thinking, everyone survived the typhoon.
