The p____________  journalist was sent to interview the conference.

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.

      SYDNEY: As they sat sharing sweets beside a swimming pool in 1999, Shane Gould and Jessicah Schipper were simply getting along well, chatting about sport, life and “anything else that came up.”

Yet in Sydney next month, they will meet again by the pool, and for a short time the friends will race against each other in the 50-meter butterfly(蝶泳) in the Australian championships at Homebush Bay.

Gould, now a 47-year-old mother of four, has announced she will be making a return to elite competition(頂級賽事) to swim the one event, having set a qualifying(合格的) time of 30.32 seconds in winning gold at last year’s United States Masters championships. Her comeback comes 32 years after she won three golds at the Munich Olympics.

Schipper, now a 17-year-old from Brisbane with a bright future of going to Athens for her first Olympics, yesterday recalled(回憶) her time with Gould five years ago.

“I was at a national youth camp on the Gold Coast and Shane had come along to talk to us and watch us train,” Schipper explained. “It seemed as if we had long been good friends. I don’t know why. We just started talking and it went from there.”

“She had a lot to share with all of us at that camp. She told us stories about what it was like at big meets like the Olympics and what it’s like to be on an Australian team. It was really interesting.”

Next time, things will be more serious. “I will still be swimming in the 50m butterfly at the nationals, so there is a chance that I could actually be competing against Shane Gould,” said Schipper, who burst into the scene at last year’s national championships with second places in the 100m and 200m butterfly.
