17、ide bus services for children living more than three miles from their school, or sometimes less if special reasons existed. Now it has been decided that if a group of parents ask for help in organizing transport they will be prepared to go ahead, as long as the arrangement will not lose money and ch
18、ildren taking part will be attending their nearest school.The new plan is to be tried out this term for children living at Milton who attend Impington School. The children live just without the three mile limit and the local government have said in the past that they will not undertake to provide fr
19、ee transport to the school. But now they have agreed to offer a sum of money for a bus service from Milton to Impington and back, a plan which has the support of the schools headmaster.Between 50 and 60 parents have said they would like their children to take part. Final calculations have still to b
20、e carried out, but a government official has said the cost to parents should be less than 20 a term.They have been able to arrange the service at a low cost because there is already an agreement with the bus company for a bus to take children who live further away to Impington. The same bus would no

The official said they would get in touch with other groups of parents who in the past had asked if transport could be provided for their children, to see if they would like to take part in the new plan.36.

F
26、rom there, you might move on to the automakers in Detroit.But I would suggest that the list should also include a less obvious nominee: public education. At its top level, the American system of higher education may be the best in the world. Yet in terms of its core mission-turning teenagers into ed
27、ucated college graduates-much of the system is failing. The United States does a good job enrolling (招生) teenagers in college, but only half of thestudents who enroll end up with a bachelors degree. So identifying the causes of the college dropout crisis in the worlds largest economy matters enormou
28、sly, and a new book called Crossing the Finish Line tries to do precisely that. Its authors are economists William Bowen and Michael McPherson, and a doctoral candidate Matthew Chingos. The first problem they diagnose is something they call under-matching. It refers to students who choose not to att

In fact, well-off students attend the colleges that do the best job of producing graduates. Meanwhile, lower-income students-even when they are better qualified-often go to colleges that excel (擅长) in producing drop-outs. Its really
