听力原文:W: Hello, Sam. You seem to be worried.
M: Well, (19) I can't make up my mind which university to attend.
W: What are the choices you have in mind?
M: State University and Wales College.
W: You seem to have doubts about the State University. But its Engineering Department has a great reputation. What else could an engineering major want?
M: Yeah, actually they can offer me scholarship as well. (20) But a friend told me that first year there can be as many as a hundred students for some lectures. You probably wouldn't have any chance to get to know any of your teachers.
W: Well, those classes also have small discussion sections. They meet twice a week, have no more than twenty students.
M: I know. But I've also heard that they are usually taught by graduate students. (21) At Wales College all classes are taught by professors.
W: Do you prefer a small town like Wales? Or the biggest cities like the state capital?
M: That doesn't matter to me. What I do care about is getting individual attention from the teachers.
W: It sounds to me that you're leaning toward Wales College?
M: I am. The only problem is that the Wales College's tuition is really high and I don't think I can afford it.
W: (22) You could apply for a student loan or sign up for a work-study program.
M: Yeah, I think I'll look into that.

听力原文: Alaska, which was called Russian America before it was sold to the United States, joined the Union as the forty-ninth state in 1959. (Hawaii was the fiftieth state to join the Union. ) Alaska is now the largest of all the 50 states in the U.S.
It was in 1867 that President A. Johnson's Secretary of State, Seward, bought Alaska from the Russians at a cost of $ 7.2 million. The buying of the huge northern land mass seemed at first something foolishly done. Nor only was Alaska difficult to reach, but it was also hard to live in, and it appeared to have no importance in times of war. Besides, there are volcanoes there as Alaska lies on the Pacific "ring of fire." In Alaska, large treeless areas are covered with snow all the year round. For these reasons the buying of Alaska was called "Seward's Folly" at that time.
However, in 1896 gold was found in Alaska, and people poured into the land quickly. Since then other important natural resources were discovered, including oil. Soon, people changed their thinking about "Seward's Folly".
But most people visit Alaska in order to see the endless beauty of nature that the northern land discloses to them. For instance, there are about 11,000 islands in Alaska. And in a certain area of Alaska, the sun does not set for 82 days every year.

Education is primarily the responsibility of the states. State constitutions set up .certain standards and rules for the establishment of school. State laws require children to go to school until they reach-a certain age. The actual control of the schools, however, is usually a local matter.
The control of the schools does not usually come directly from the local government. In each of the three types of city government, public schools are generally quite separate and independent.They cooperate with local officials but are not dominated by the municipal government. Most Americans believe that schools should be free of political pressures. They believe that the separate control of the school systems preserves such freedom.
Public schools are usually maintained by school districts. The state often sets the district boundaries. Sometimes the school district has the same boundaries as the city. Sometimes it is larger than the city.
In the South, county boards of education members are elected. In some places they are appointed by the mayor or city council. The state legislature decides which method should be used.
Most district boards of education try to give all pupils a chance to get a good education. A good education prepares a person to live a better life. It helps him to become a better citizen.
Nearly all states give financial aid to local school districts. State departments of education offer other kinds of aid. States offer help with such things as program planning and the school districts.
The federal government also helps. The National Defense Education Act allows school districts to get financial aid for certain purposes. The Elementary and Secondary Education Act of 1965 added many other kinds of financial help. But neither the state nor the federal government dictates school policy. This is determined by local school boards.
