How often are students absent from school Are they ready for college Is their school a welcoming place States are beginning to plan new ways to grade their schools.Under the new law，states are paying more attention to whether students are getting better at school.They will not only look at whether students have achieved a certain level of understanding in reading and maths，but also see whether students have improved over time.
Mike Petrilli，the president of an organization that supports education，said the new law was different from the No Child Left Behind Act，the earlier education law.“It will be a fairer way to measure school quality，” he said.With the No Child Left Behind Act，schools were measured(评价) by how well students did on tests.If students did not do well，their schools would often get less money from the government.The new law gave states more choice about how their schools should be measured.
So far，nine states have given their plans to the National Education Department，while seven other states are completing them.When checking school quality，states are experimenting with new measures.Almost all of the early states have considered absences as a key measure，which counts how many students are absent from school more than one-tenth of the school year.
Conn and Delaware will track college preparation.They will see whether high school students are taking advanced classes.At the same time，they will also see how well students do on tests to get into college.Tennessee wants to give every public school a grade from A to F，and the grade will consider how well English learners are doing.It will also look at whether disabled students are being served.In addition，the schools will also be graded by whether students are ready for college，as well as how many students graduate.
Marc Magee，an official of an education group，said，“There are so many differences in how states want to examine their schools.Then comparing states to each other could be difficult.”

A．Students’ scores are not important.
B．Schools have to provide Chinese lessons.
C．Schools’ grades are related to college preparation.
D．The more students graduate，the more money schools will get.
10．What can we learn from Marc Magee’s words
A．Comparison among schools should be called off.
B．Students may be doubtful about the new law.
C．The new law will have a long way to go.
D．States should be given equal rights.
11．What’s the author’ s attitude to the new law

DSS doesn’t end at kids.The organisation educates parents on the importance of sending their kids to school.Its efforts have brought education to thousands of students in the last two decades.Their belief in education for all has not only changed children’s lives but also continued the fight against one of the biggest problems India faces.All children have the right to an education，and DSS is providing just that.

How often are students absent from school Are they ready for college Is their school a welcoming place States are beginning to plan new ways to grade their schools.Under the new law，states are paying more attention to whether students are getting better at school.They will not only look at whether students have achieved a certain level of understanding in reading and maths，but also see whether students have improved over time.
Mike Petrilli，the president of an organization that supports education，said the new law was different from the No Child Left Behind Act，the earlier education law.“It will be a fairer way to measure school quality，” he said.With the No Child Left Behind Act，schools were measured(评价) by how well students did on tests.If students did not do well，their schools would often get less money from the government.The new law gave states more choice about how their schools should be measured.
So far，nine states have given their plans to the National Education Department，while seven other states are completing them.When checking school quality，states are experimenting with new measures.Almost all of the early states have considered absences as a key measure，which counts how many students are absent from school more than one-tenth of the school year.
Conn and Delaware will track college preparation.They will see whether high school students are taking advanced classes.At the same time，they will also see how well students do on tests to get into college.Tennessee wants to give every public school a grade from A to F，and the grade will consider how well English learners are doing.It will also look at whether disabled students are being served.In addition，the schools will also be graded by whether students are ready for college，as well as how many students graduate.
Marc Magee，an official of an education group，said，“There are so many differences in how states want to examine their schools.Then comparing states to each other could be difficult.”

Sharon，Aged 22
The most important thing to keep in mind when going into high school is to be yourself.Besides，I don’t know what your middle school was like，but high school teachers will not care about things such as how much homework you already have in one night.It’s best to just learn to deal with things and manage your time wisely so you can achieve everything you need to.
Frank，Aged 21
I think almost every kid feels both anxious and excited before their first day.You will probably love it.I know I did.You should join some sports or activities that will make your high school experience more enjoyable.Good luck!
Eddie，Aged 20
When I started high school I was really nervous too，especially since I had been home-schooled all through middle school and didn’t really know anyone.I suppose the best advice would be to just relax.The first couple of days can be a little bit hard，but things will become easier before you know it.
David，Aged 19
I am not going to lie.The first day is kind of frightening.But you’ll get used to it.Don’t be afraid of anyone；upperclassmen will pick on(欺负) you more if you let them know you’re afraid.Just take it easy.Making some friends and staying with them will greatly help you get used to high school quickly.After the first week it’s really not bad at all.Don’t worry.

When I got home，I realized I’d left my textbook behind and there was nothing I could do as the library was closed.I was so upset that I almost cried.Just then，the phone rang.A girl named Jenny had noticed my book in the library and she got my phone number from the librarian.She said she didn’t live far away and could bring it around for me.
I was so grateful and agreed to meet her at the store down the road.When I recognized Jenny was the girl I had shouted at for singing，I was filled with shame and apologized several times for my rude behavior.
Jenny was kind enough to pardon me.Ever since then we’ve been best friends and we get along very well.I often think how lucky I am! We are much alike and I trust her more than anyone else.
