Now a new study dispels a common belief why they quit. It
15、s much more basic than flunking out. Society tends to think of high school dropouts as kids who just cant cut it. They are lazy，and perhaps not too brightSo researchers were surprised when they asked more than 450 kids who quit school about why they left. “The vast majority actually had passing grad
16、es and they were confident that they could have graduated from high school.” John Bridgeland, the executive researcher said. About 1 million teens leave school each year. Only about half of African-American and Hispanic（美籍西班牙的）student will receive a diploma，and actually all dropouts come to regret t
17、heir decision. So， if failing grades dont explain why these kids quit, what does? Again，John Bridgeland：“The most dependable finding was that they were bored.” “They found classes uninteresting; they werent inspired or motivated. They didnt see any direct connection between what they were learning i
18、n the classroom to their own lives, or to their career aspirations.”The study found that most teens who do drop out wait until they turn sixteen, which happens to be the age at which most states allow students to quit. In the US，only one state，New Mexico，has a law requiring teenagers to stay in high
19、 school until they graduate. Only four states: California, Tennessee, Texas and Utah, plus the District of Columbia, require school attendance until age 18, no exceptions, another researcher，says raising the compulsory attendance age may be one way to keep more kids in school“As these dropouts look
20、back，they realize theyve made a mistake. And anything that sort of gives these people an extra push to stick it out and it through to the end, is probably helpful measure.” New Hampshire may be the next state to raise its school attendance age to 18. But critics say that forcing the students unwilli
21、ng to continue their studies to stay in school misses the pointthe need for reform. Its been called for to reinvent high school education to make it more challenging and relevant, and to ensure that kids who do stick it out receive a diploma that actually means something. 31.

On the third Sunday in June, fathers all across or otherwise made to feel special.Howeve
26、r, the idea for creating a day for children to honor their fathers began in Spokane, Washington. A woman by the name of Sonora Smart Dodd thought of the idea for Fathers Day while listening to a Mothers Day sermon in 1909. Having been raised by her father, Henry Jackson Smart, after her mother died,
27、 Sonora wanted her father to know how special he was to her. It was her father that made all the parental sacrifices and was, in the eyes of his daughter, a selfless and loving man. Sonoras father was born in June, so she chose to hold the first Fathers Day celebration in Spokane, Washington on the
28、19th of June, 1910.In 1924 President Calvin Coolidge declared the third Sunday in June as Fathers Day.

35、to take China by storm. “Our experience in China has been that it is going to be explosive in its growth,” said Stern. The strategy in China is TV. “Weve made 14 deals in China with local and national networks on cable and satellite.” The success Chinese centre Yao Ming has paved the way for the NBA
