The school that is changing American education

Two years ago, I visited a school in Brooklyn called P-TECH, the Pathways in Technology early college high school, which seemed very much like the future of education to me. It knitted together educators and job creators, giving kids not only a high school degree, but a two-year associate degree and a job guarantee at one of the country’s top blue-chip firms, IBM.

The latest great national leap forward in secondary education was during the post W.W. Ⅱ period, when state governments decided that high school education, previously optional, should be compulsory in order to ensure the kind of skilled workforce needed to compete in a new, higher tech industrial era. Now, many leaders---including the President, the education Secretary, scores of blue-chip CEOs and executives, and most top educators---believe we’re once again at such a turning point. When it comes to high school, an increasing number of them buy into the idea that not only should educators and job creators b e much more closely connected, but that as Stanley Litow, the IBM executive behind the program puts it,“six should be the new four.”The push for all American kids to have a post high school future, like Tennessee governor Haslam’s recent calls for two years of free community college for every student in the state, seems to come almost daily.

The statistics support it. A Four-year high school degree these days only guarantees a $15 an hour future. According to projections by the Center on Education and the Workforce at Georgetown University, the U.S. economy will create some 47-million job openings in the decade ending 2018, but nearly two-thirds will require some post secondary education. The Center projects that only 36% of American jobs will be filled by people with only a 4-year high school degree---half of what that number was in the 1970s. What’s more, the cost of not trading up educationally could be disastrous---workers with an associate degree will earn 73% more than those with only a high school diploma.

Many leaders maintain that children should     1     and that high schools should     2    . The idea is based on     3    . On one hand, more jobs will require     4    . On the other, an associate degree will ensure     5    .

7 . 请根据上下文内容，将文中划线部分译成汉语或者英语。

Many teenagers feel lonely as if no one understands them and the changes they are going through.     1     Day by day, everything seems different, yet the same. Life never seems to be going fast enough; yet, in other ways, like a race car, life seems to be rushing too fast and even going out of control.     2    别的人也有过同感吗?

These feelings are a common part of adolescence the time of life between child and adult. And,     3     though it may sometimes be difficult to believe, you are not alone —every adult has gone through adolescence, and     4    你的朋友和你一样正经历着这个阶段。It is common for teenagers to feel lonely and misunderstood.     5     These feelings can be thought of as growing pains —the difficulties that teenagers face as they grow to adults.

He immediately asked     1     number of nearby people for bandages, but when nobody could put their     2     on any, his father got some tea towels and tape from their house. John used these to treat the most severe injuries     3     Ms Slade’s hands. He slowed the bleeding by     4     pressure to the wounds until the police and     5     arrived.

10 . However, the     1     of scientists towards this rise are completely different. On the one hand, Dr Foster thinks that any     2     in which the temperature increases     3     5 degrees would lead to a catastrophe. She says, “We can’t predict the climate well enough to know     4     to expect, but it could be very serious.” Others who agree with her think there may be     5     rise of several metres in the sea level, or predict severe storms, floods, droughts, famines, the     6     of diseases and the disappearances of     7    . On the other hand, there are those, like George Hambley, who are     8     to this view and believe that we should not worry about high levels of carbon dioxide in the air. They predict that any warming will be mild with few bad environmental       9    . In fact, Hambley states, “More carbon dioxide is actually a positive thing. It will make plants grow quicker; crops will produce more; it will     10     a greater range of animals, all of which will make life for human beings better.”
