28、d on a small farm that they had owned since I was seven. I hated going there every weekend. There was nothing for a young girl to do but watch the one station on the old TV set, if the weather allowed reception. My mom, on the other hand, loved the peace and quiet of the land. The place was rustic,
29、with no indoor plumbing or heat. We had a big wood stove in the kitchen that did its best to heat the little farmhouse, but it always seemed cold and too quiet to me. In the evenings, my mom and I would sit for hours singing in the little kitchen. I sang the melody and Mom harmonized. Her favorite s
30、ong was “Moon River“ and we sang it over and over. Mom told me stories about how when I was a little girl, I could sing before I could talk.As time passed, I had my own children and went to visit them every week or two.

31、 with my dad. Me, well, I still hated the silence of the farm. While my mom loved to sit at her kitchen table and look out at her garden and flowers and retell all the old stories, I missed the hustle and bustle（喧闹）of my life at home. But I sat there listening quietly as she reminisced. Now, I sat b
32、ack in the silence and the silence was deafening so I finally leaned over to turn on an old radio. Music always comforted me. My heart skipped a beat. “Moon River“ was playing on the radio.

36、ides to spend his senior year in Warsaw, Poland. Poland is a surprising educational success story: in the past decade, the country raised students test scores from significantly below average to well above it. Polish kids have now outscored(超过 分数) American kids in math and science, even though Polan
37、d spends, on average, less than half as much per student as the United States does. One of the most striking differences between the high school Tom attended in Gettysburg and the one he ends up at in Warsaw is that the latter has no football team, or, for that matter, teams of any kind.That America
38、n high schools lavish more time and money on sports than on math is an old complaint. This is not a matter of how any given student who plays sports does in school, but of the culture and its priorities. This December, when the latest Program for International Student Assessment(PISA) results are an
39、nounced, its safe to predict that American high-school students will once again display their limited skills in math and reading, outscored not just by students in Poland but also by students in places like South Korea, Belgium, the Netherlands, Finland, Singapore, and Japan. Meanwhile, they will ha
40、ve played some very exciting football games, which will have been breathlessly written up in their hometown papers. Why does this situation continue? Well, for one thing, kids like it. And for another, according to Ripley, parents seem to like the arrangement, too. She describes a tour she took of a
41、 school in Washington D.C., which costs thirty thousand dollars a year. The tour leadera mother with three children in the schoolwas asked about the schools flaws(暇疵). When she said that the math program was weak, none of the parents taking the tour reacted. When she said that the football 高考资源网（ ）
