In American schools there is something called Homecoming Day. Many high schools and colleges with a football team have a homecoming game. This can be the most important event of the year except graduation day. Students plan Homecoming Day for many weeks in advance.
Several days before Homecoming Day,students start to decorate the school. There are signs to wish luck to the team,and many other signs to welcome all the graduates. Many people still come to Homecoming Day twenty or thirty years after their graduation.
The members of school clubs build booths and sell lemonade,apples and sandwiches. Some clubs help to welcome visitors.
During the day people like to look for teachers that they remember from long ago. Often they see old friends and they talk together about those happy years in school.
Everyone soon comes to watch the football game. When the game is half over,the band comes onto the field and plays school songs. Another important moment is when the Homecoming Queen or King appears. All the students vote a most popular student Homecoming Queen or King. It is great honor to be chosen.

Helping International Students Make Friends
One study in the United States found that thirty-eight percent of foreign students said they had no close American friends.
1.Elisabeth Gareis teaches in the Department of Communication Studies at Baruch College in New York. She says efforts on how to improve relationships between foreign and American students have yet to be studied in detail. But she says these efforts should begin with the college or university, and that these institutions have been working harder.
Ms. Gareis suggests that students should be encouraged to take part in different activities, such as taking walks, going on bike rides, field or camping trips, and attending parties, sporting events or film festivals. She says such activities should be held repeatedly throughout the school term to bring students together. She also suggests that foreign students share housing with American students.
She says if the new students make friends as they begin school, they will come to feel part of the life and traditions of the university, as well as create long lasting friendships throughout their university career.

听力原文: Most summer school courses in Britain last for two to four weeks. During that time the students live either with a British family, or at the school, or in a hotel. They have about 15 hours of lessons every Monday to Friday--usually in the morning. Each school has a lot of different courses. Some are for beginners and others are for intermediate or advanced students. The lessons are time the classes are small and the teachers are all from English-speaking countries.
But summer school students don't just speak English in the classroom. They are in Britain, so they speak and read and hear it outside too. That's why they learn so quickly and why a summer school course is really a holiday. Only one third of each course is taught in the classroom. The rest takes place during a busy afternoon and evening timetable of visits, sports and games. These activities help everyone to make new friends, have fun and improve their English.

A.Courses in British history.
B.Language courses.

How useful are the views of public school students about their teachers?
Quite useful, according to preliminary results released on Friday from a research project that is intended to find new ways of distinguishing good teachers from bad.
Teachers whose students described them as skillful at maintaining classroom order, at focusing their instruction and at helping their charges learn from their mistakes are often the same teachers whose students learn the most in the course of a year, as measured by gains on standardized test scores, according to a progress report on the research.
Financed by the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, the two-year project involves scores of social scientists and some 3,000 teachers and their students in districts such as New York and Pittsburgh.
Statisticians began the effort last year by ranking all the teachers using a statistical method known as value-added modeling, which calculates how much each teacher has helped students learn based on changes in test scores from year to year.
Thousands of students have filled out confidential questionnaires(秘密调查问卷)about the learning environment that their teachers create. After comparing the students ratings with teachers value-added scores, researchers have concluded that there is quite a bit of agreement.
Classrooms where a majority of students said they agreed with the statement, "Our class stays busy and doesnt waste time," tended to be led by teachers with high value-added scores, the report said.
The same was true for teachers whose students agreed with the statement, "In this class, we learn to correct our mistakes."
Few of the nations 15,000 public school districts systematically question students about their classroom experiences, in contrast to American colleges, many of which collect annual student evaluations to improve instruction, Dr Ferguson said.
Until recently, teacher evaluations were little more than a formality(形式)in most school systems, with the vast majority of instructors getting top ratings, often based on a principals superficial impressions.
But now some 20 states are overhauling their evaluation systems, and many policymakers have been asking the Gates Foundation for suggestions on what measures of teacher effectiveness to use, said Vicki L. Phillips, a director of education at the foundation.
One notable early finding, Ms Phillips said, is that teachers who incessantly(不停地)drill their students to prepare for standardised tests tend to have lower value-added learning gains than those who simply work their way methodically through the key concepts of literacy and mathematics.
What is said about teachers rated as good at keeping their classes in order?
A.Their students gain more in test scores.
B.Their classes stay busy and don"t waste time.
C.Their students learn fastest during a semester.
D.They help students learn to correct their mistakes.
