guarantees federal investment in schools.
is a universal law that applies to every university.
stops gender discrimination in many schools. √
helps to save federal money on education programs.
解析：[听力原文]
Most schools in the United States receive money from federal programs. That means most schools
must obey a federal law known as Title Nine. It bars discrimination on the basis of sex at any


educational institution that receives federal money. An exception is made for admissions at


private undergraduate schools. For others, Title Nine covers any education program or activity


receiving federal financial assistance. The full name is Title Nine of the Education Amendments
of 1972. A lot of Americans may be surprised to know that it was written without saying anything


directly about sports. Yet that is where its effects are best known, especially at the high school


level. After Title Nine became the law, the number of girls who joined high school sports teams
sharply increased. Research has linked participation in sports to positive effects like better


self-image and higher grades. But are these a direct result? Two recent studies suggest that the

answer is yes. They offer long-term evidence that it can lead to improvements in education,


work and health. One researcher, Betsey Stevenson, compared states, looking at differences in
high school sports participation and in womens education. For each ten percentage point increase
in sports participation, she found a one point increase in female college attendance. The other
researcher, Robert, looked at physical health. He found that those who came after Title Nine had
a seven percent lower risk of obesity 20 to 25 years later. Nicole is associate director of the
Tucker Center for Research on Girls and Women in Sport at the University of Minnesota. She says
the new studies are important because they show trends over time. Still, far more boys than girls




join sports teams nearly 40 years after Title Nine gave girls a chance to level the playing field.

a limit to money spent each day by children.

sure children don spend it at once.
about what children want with the money. √
children to make a budget from their experience.
解析：[听力原文]
Many children first learn the value of money by receiving an allowance. The purpose is to let
children learn from experience at an age when financial mistakes are not very costly. The amount
of money that parents give to their children to spend as they wish differs from family to family.
In any case, parents should make clear what the child expects to pay for with the money. At first,


young children may spend all of their allowance soon after they receive it. If they do this, they
will learn the hard way that spending must be done within a budget. Parents are usually advised
not to offer more money until the next allowance. Many experts in child-rearing say it is not
a good idea to pay your child for work around home. These jobs are a normal part of family life.
Paying children to do extra work around the house, however, can be useful. It can even provide


an understanding of how a business works. Allowances give children a chance to experience the


three things they can do with money. They can share it in the form of gifts or giving to a good
cause. They can spend it by buying things they want, or they can save it. Saving helps children


understand that costly goals require sacrifice: You have to cut costs and plan for the future.


Requiring children to save part of their allowance can also open the door to future saving and


investing.

discuss political issues with other people.
exchange information about a certain topic.
communicate personal life with faraway friends.
show peoples views freely on the Internet. √
解析：[听力原文]
A blog is short for a web log. People write blogs to express their opinions and ideas over the


Internet. Some people write blogs about political issues. Others use them to share their lives
with faraway friends or family. Still other people write blogs to help them deal with sickness,
money problems, or to choose movies to see or books to read. And of course, many others consider
writing blogs as a habit. The Center for Media Research recently released a report about blogs.
It says all studies agree that blogs are popular around the world. One study found that more than
180 million people around the world have started a blog. And more than 340 million people around
the world read blogs. Another study found bloggers in 66 countries on 6 continents. And it found
blogs in 81 languages. People in many professions, including the entertainment industry and news
organizations, are writing blogs. VOA writers are among them. Alex Belida is the chief writer
of the VOA news blog. He discusses issues of freedom of the press and VOA programming. He also
answers questions, comments and criticism from the public. On a recent blog, Mr. Belida wrote




about VOAs rules demanding accuracy and objectivity. He wrote that VOA rules state that VOA


reporters do not speak for the United States government. He also wrote that the idea that any


government agency can tell VOA what to say is false.
