单选题
Martin Luther King, Jr., is well known
for his work in civil rights and for his many famous speeches, among them his
moving "I Have A Dream" speech. But fewer people know much about King's
childhood. M. L., as he was called, was born in 1929 in Atlanta, Georgia, at the
home of his maternal grandfather. M.L.'s grandfather, the Reverend A. D.
Williams, purchased their home on Auburn Avenue in 1909, 20 years before M. L.
was born. The Reverend Williams, an {{U}}eloquent{{/U}} speaker, played an important
role in the community since so many people's lives centered around the church.
He allowed his church and his home to be used as a meeting place for a number of
organizations dedicated to the education and social advancement of blacks. M.L.
grew up in this atmosphere, with his home being used as a community gathering
place, and was no doubt influenced by it. M. L.'s childhood was
not especially {{U}}eventful{{/U}}. His father was a minister and his mother was a
musician. He was the second of three children, and he attended all-black schools
in a black neighborhood. The neighborhood was not poor, however. Auburn Avenue
was the main artery through a prosperous neighborhood that had come to symbolize
achievement for Atlanta's black people. {{U}}It{{/U}} was an area of banks,
insurance companies, builders, jewelers, tailors, doctors, lawyers and other
black-owned or black-operated businesses and services. Even in the face of
Atlanta's segregation, the district {{U}}thrived{{/U}}. Dr. King never forgot the
community spirit he had known as a child, nor did he forget the racial prejudice
that was a seemingly insurmountable barrier that kept black Atlantans from
mingling with whites.

单选题Charter School Class Gets a First-hand Social Studies Lesson 注册学校的班级获得第一手的社会研究课
Just a typical day in sixth grade social studies. Only it"s a double period, usually reserved for reading or math. And it"s in the science classroom, which has more space. The American and New York State flags are flanking the chalkboard, the school banner hanging above them, klieg lights shining on them from the back.
Oh, and there"s a substitute teacher—Gov. George E. Pataki.
"Can someone tell me the three different branches of government?" he asked the scholars of Bronx Preparatory Charter School, on Webster Avenue in the Morrisania section.
They could. Their teacher, John Stassen, had done a special lesson on exactly that the day before. They knew who heads the executive branch, too, and the name of the nation"s highest court, and what percentage of the Legislature it takes to override an executive"s veto. But Mr. Pataki stumped them on how many houses form the legislative branch. "We haven"t gotten to that," Mr. Stassen said.
Governor Pataki, a prime advocate of 1998 state legislation creating charter schools, which are publicly financed but free of state regulation, swooped into Bronx Prep yesterday and was greeted with gleaming hallways and singing children.
As a start-up school in its first year, Bronx Prep has been besieged with visitors—donors, state evaluators, entrepreneurs planning their own schools, potential employees, potential students, and a reporter and photographer chronicling its progress for this newspaper. (The mayor showed up in the fall.) Mostly they sit in the back, watching business as usual. But for the governor, well, a school puts on a show.
The principal, Marina Bernard Damiba, turned over the math class she teaches to Laura Barfield, the writing teacher, leaving herself free to stand on a chair and hang the school banner. Two artistic students were recruited to write "Welcome Governor Pataki" and "Thank you for our charter school" on the boards in the science room. A parent volunteer in a lavender dress and matching loafers came to shake hands.
Mr. Pataki arrived around 11a.m., joining several public officials and a dozen advance men and security people. In Tara Kelley"s sixth-grade reading class, two students recited poems. In fifth-grade math, being taught by the sixth-grade teacher because Mrs. Damiba was leading the tour, the youngsters burst into their signature raplike chants of the multiplication tables.
"Could you keep up with the nines?" the governor asked a colleague as they shuffled to the next room, where fifth graders sang another diffy, pronouncing themselves "ready to read."
In Mr. Stassen"s class, the cameras snapped as Mr. Pataki took questions from the students: Why did he want charter schools? Has he vetoed any laws? What does he do every day?
"Would you consider being president?" asked Thelma Perez.
"Thelma, I am very happy being governor of this state," Mr. Pataki said. "We"ll just leave it at that."
There was the ceremonial exchange of gifts—the governor got a Bronx Prep polo shirt and $50 honorary Scholar Dollars, which students earn for good behavior; he gave the school a framed copy of the charter law, and a pen. On the way out, the school"s director, Kristin Kearns Jordan, slid in a plea for tax legislation that would make it easier for young schools to finance buildings. By 12:15, after a brief news conference, two aides carried the flags down the steps and out the door.
"They left already?" Maria Ortiz, the administrative assistant, asked with a sigh of relief. "Everybody?" And then she rang the little cow bell, signaling lunch.
