单选题In the United States alone at the beginning of the 1990s, roughly one third of the school-age population was children of color. This percentage is expected to increase to somewhere between 44% and 48% by the year 2025. Complicating this issue is the fact that relatively few of those in the teaching force represent minority populations. As of the late 1980s, roughly 88% of teachers in the United States represented the majority culture—that is, white, Anglo, and middle class, with about two thirds of those being women. This figure, too, is expected to increase resulting in approximately 94% of the American reaching force representing a rather homogeneous, privileged, and cross culturally inexperienced majority. This pattern of increased diversity in the classroom with an increasingly homogeneous teaching force is being mirrored in many nations of the world, including Canada, Australia, Israel, Great Britain, and New Zealand. The United States has prior experience integrating significant numbers of immigrants, albeit with mixed reaction and success. During the early part of the 20th century, hundreds of thousands of legal immigrants entered he country through Ellis Island in New York. Although the road for new immigrants into the United States(or any country for that matter)has never been an easy one, the majority of the immigrants in the early part of the century having come from Europe could "fit" the human landscape, so to speak, once they learned the English language. The physical features they exhibited were not all that different from those of the majority of the people already here. Assimilationist ideology was easy to defend—people could conceivably "melt" into the greater pot called "America". Those entering the United States today come from a much greater diversity of nations and backgrounds. Immigrants from the many diverse countries of Central and Latin America, Asia, and the Middle East are not uncommon. Into the schools they bring not only different ways of thinking and behaving but also diverse ways of communicating. Such diverse languages as Vietnamese, Cambodian, Arabic, Spanish, Russian, and Japanese are found in American schools with increasing regularity. In Florida"s schools, for instance, at least 84 different languages are spoken and the schools are actively working to provide educational services in 50 of these. And they are coming into that state in such great numbers that in 1989, as an example, enough children from Nicaragua alone were entering Dade County to support the building of a new elementary school each month. Of course, no such massive building efforts were undertaken, and few of the badly needed teachers were recruited. Increasingly across the country, children are speaking a language other than English at home. Between 30% and 50% of children in such cities as New York, Santa Fe, Hartford, and Providence speak languages other than English. In Miami, nearly three quarters of the residents speak a language other than English at home, with 67% saying they don"t speak English very well. The United States is now the fourth largest Spainsh-speaking country in the world! Although bilingualism is increasing among the American population in general(even given the English-as-an-Official-Language movement currently under way!)only 5% of our nation"s teachers are themselves truly bilingual.

单选题This year 2008 , Americans elect on a new president on November 4th. It"s an important event that happens once every four years. Currently, the president is always elected from one of the two main parties in the United States; the Republicans and the Democrats. There are other presidential candidates. However, it is unlikely that any of these"third party"candidates will win. It certainly hasn"t happened in the last one hundred years. In order to become the presidential nominee of a party, the candidate must win the primary election. Primary elections are held throughout each state in the United States in the first half of any election year. Then, the delegates attend their party convention in order to nominate their chosen candidate. Usually, as in this election, it"s clear who will be the nominee. However, in the past parties have been divided and choosing a nominee has been a difficult process. Once the nominees have been selected, they campaign throughout the country. A number of debates are usually held in order to better understand the candidates" points of view. These points of view often reflect their party"s platform. A party platform is best described as the general beliefs and policies a party holds. Candidates cross the country by plane, bus, train or by car giving speeches. These speeches are often called "stump speeches". In the 19th century candidates would stand on tree stumps to deliver their speeches. These stump speeches repeat the candidate"s basic views and aspirations for the country. They are repeated many hundred of times by each candidate. Many people believe that campaigns in the United States have become too negative. Each night you can see many attack ads on the television. These short ads contain sound bites which often distort the truth, or something the other candidate has said or done. Another recent problem has been voter turnout. There is often less than 60% turnout for national elections. Some people don"t register to vote, and some registered voters don"t show up at the voting booths. This angers many citizens who feel that voting is the most important responsibility of any citizen. Others point out that not voting is expressing an opinion that the system is broken. The United States maintains an extremely old, and some say inefficient, voting system. This system is called the Electoral College. Each state is assigned electoral votes based on the number of senators and representatives that state has in Congress. Each state has two Senators. The number of representatives is determined by the states population but is never less than 1 percent. The electoral votes are decided by the popular vote in each state. One candidate wins all of the electoral votes in a state. In other words, Oregon has 8 electoral votes. If 1 million people vote for the Republican candidate and one million and ten people vote for the Democratic candidate, ALL 3 electoral votes go to the democratic candidate. Many people feel that this system should be abandoned.
