And, even individual teachers are being graded on how they’re preparing their students for these tests.“We have 23 too much on teaching the kids how to take these tests,” commented one elementary school teacher. “ We should be providing a more 24 curriculum to these kids. We should be 25 leader-ship and curiosity. Unfortunately, th ere is never time.”One school principal remarked, “It’s true that it would be 26 to our kids if they were getting better scores on the subjects being tested. The trouble is that inpoorer areas of the city like ours, kids start school less 27 to perform well. We have many 28 to overcome before we can teach them basic subjects. All schools are not 29 so they shouldn’t be tested that way.”“The goal is to 30 performance in school that are not providing their students with tools for s uccess,” said one government official.

You even know when parliament is in session，because a light shines above the clock face.The four dials of the clock are 23 feet square. the minute hand is 14 feet long and the figures are 2 feet high. Minutely regulated with a stack of coins placed on the huge pendulum(钟摆)，Big Ben is an excellent timekeeper, which has rarely stopped.The name Big Ben actually refers not to the clock tower itself，but to the thirteen-ton bell hung within. The bell was named after the first commissioner(行政长官)of works，Sir Benjamin Hall. This bell came originally from the old Palace of Westminster，and was given to The Dean of St. Paul by William III. Before returning to Westminster to hang in its present home，it was refashioned in White Chapel in 1858.The BBC first broadcast the chimes(报时)on 31 December 1923.There is a microphone in the turret(塔楼)connected to Broadcasting House.During the Second World War in 1941，a bomb destroyed the Commons chamberof the Houses of Parliament，but the clock tower remained intact and Big Ben continued to keep time and strike away the hours. Its unique sound was broadcast to the nation and around the world，a welcome reassurance of hope to all who heard it.The tower is not open to the general public，but those with a “special interest’’ may arrange a visit to the top of the clock tower through a guide.31.

His father，supporting the decision，found a place for him in a supermarket. “You’re lucky，Ron，”he said. “For every boy with a job these days，there’s a dozen without.” So Ron joined the working world at twenty pounds a week.For a year he spent his days filling shelves with tins of food. By the end of that time he was looking back on his school days as a time of great variety and satisfaction.He searched for an interest in his work，with little success.One fine day instead of going to work Ron got a lift on a lorry going south. With nine pounds in his pocket，a full heart and a great longing for the sea，he set out to make a better way for himself. That evening，in Bournemouth，he had a sandwich and a drink in a caférun by an elderly man and his wife. Before he had finished the sandwich, the woman had taken him on for the rest of the summer，at twenty pounds a week, a room upstairs and three meals a day. The ease and speed of it rather took Ron’s breath away. At quiet times Ron had to check the old man’s arithmetic in the records of the business.At the end of the season，he stayed on the coast. He was again surprised how straightforward it was for a boy of seventeen to make a living. He worked in shops mostly, but once he took a job in a hotel for three weeks. Late in October he was taken on by the sick manager of a shoe shop.
