27、 / 6江苏省高考英语任务型阅读专项训练ever found chewing gum on the floor of your classroom or around the campus? how many times have you seen broken windows in the classroom and school buildings? this is vandalism, the destruction or damaging of public property for no obvious reason.vandalism in schools is becoming

28、a growing problem, and it is costing us more than money. it is expensive to repair the desks, clear them of chewing gum and repair school furniture. moreover, it costs us our sense of self-respect and feeling of pride in our school. many students see this damage and lose some pride in their school.h

30、other students. if we can explain this to people, then they will be less likely to damage school property when they know that it will only hurt themselves. s econdly, we should learn to obey school rules and regulations. these rules and regulations are there to look after both the students and the s

31、chools. whenever we see any acts of vandalism, we nee d to remind the people of the rules and try to prevent these acts from happening. if it is serious vandalism, we need to report it to the teacher.t hirdly, anyone who vandalizes school property should receive some kind of punishment. for example,

32、 if someone has torn a page from a library book, he or she would have to carefully tape the page back into the book. if someone writes or draws on a desk, he or she should stay behind school and clean the desks in the classroom. such punishment is not harsh, but can make them know their misbehavior.

33、 vandalism costs schools money that could be better spent educating students, and it harms students pride in their school as well. if we educate people about vandalism and work to prevent it from happening , then we will begin to see cleaner schools and happier students.vandalism, a growing problem

37、ists(经济学 家), but increasing womens contribution to development is actually as much an economic as a socialissue. and economics, with its focus on incentives( 鼓励), provides an explanation for why so many girls are deprived of(剥夺)an education.4 / 6江苏省高考英语任务型阅读专项训练parents in low-income countries fail t

38、o invest in their daughters because they do not expect them to make an economic contribution to the family: girls grow up only to marry into somebody elses family and bear children. girls are thus seen as less valuable than boys and are kept at home to do housework while their brothers are sent to s
