73.__________Some people cannot learn in ordinary schools. Often some physical or mental handicap prevents a child from learning. In education today new methods are being used in special schools to help the handicapped learn.

74.__________One school for handicapped persons is now being established in the southern part of New Jersey. It is called the Bancroft Community. It is not surrounded by walls of any kind. Its director, John R. Tullis insists that it be open so that the students may gradually develop normal relations with the rest of the world.

75.__________Bancroft Community students will live in apartments or in a house, cooking their meals, washing their own clothes, and learning to perform other tasks. Gradually, they will buy their own furniture, paying for it out of their own earnings. They will pay rent and pay their food, too. They will learn to expect telephone bills for the calls they make every month.

76.__________As a step toward the goal of becoming independent, each handicapped person will decide what kind of work he wants to be trained to do. While some of the training will be carried on within the Bancroft Community itself, most of the students will receive job training in nearby towns. They will be trained by townspeople for whom they will work without pay.

77.__________Mr.Tullis and others are seeking help from business in the area who might be able to use a dishwasher, cook, gas station attendant, or clerk. Many have become interested. The businessmen will benefit from having an extra worker whom they will not have to pay. They will not be responsible for providing all the training, however. A teacher from Bancroft will work with each student one day a week, staying with him while he washes dishes or fills gas tanks, or whatever his job requires him to do.

 

A. Teachers in a special school                 

B. Function of a special school

C. Training students to support themselves      

D. Practical experience

E. Training students to be ready for jobs         

F. The Bancroft Community

　　 I have a rule for travel:Never carry a map.Iprefer to ask for directions.

　　 Foreign visitors are often puzzled in Japan because most streets there don't have name.In Japan,people use landmarks in their directions instead of street names.For example,the Japanese will say to travelers, “Go straight down to the corner. Tun left at the big hotel and go pass a fruit market. The post office is across from the bus stop.”

In the countryside of the American Midwest,usually there are not many landmarks. There are no mountains, so the land is very flat(平坦的). In many places there are no towns or buildings with tell you directions and distance. In Kansas or Iowa, for example, people will say, “Go north two miles. Turn east,and then go another mile.”

　　 People in Los Angeles, California, have no idea of distance on the map: They measure distance by means of time, not miles. “How far away is the post office?” you ask.　　“Oh,” they answer, “It's about five minutes from here.”you say, “It's about five minutes from here.” You say, “Yes, but how many miles away is it?” They don't know.

Peop;e in Greece sometimes do not even try to give directions because visitors seldom understand thi Greek language. Instead of giving you the direction, a Greek will often say, “Follow me.” Then he'll lead you through the streets of the city to the post office.

Sometimes a person doesn't know the answer to your question, What happens in this situation? A New Yorker might say, “Sorry, I have no idea.” But in Yucatan, Mexico, no one answers, “I don't know.” People in Yucatan think that “I don't know” is impolite. They usually give an answer, often a wrong one.A visitor can get very, very lost in Yucatan!
