The program is called the Global Educator Outreach or GEO, and it's a partnership between Chicago Public Schools and the U.S. Government. Because the teacher shortage in Chicago is so extreme, the Government allows the school district to temporarily hire foreign teaching candidates using H1-B visas. The Government grants these visas only to skilled foreign-born citizens so they can work in highly specialized jobs that can't be filled with available U,S, workforce.
Through the GEO, the school district has hired dozens of teachers from 22 different countries. Applicants must pass an English language test and specialize in math, science, world language or bilingual (双语的) education. Hannon and the first GEO teachers started in the classroom at the beginning of the 2000-2001 school year.
What do the GEO teachers think of the American classroom? Harmon, who was hired to teach math at Gage Park High School, says classrooms in Chicago are very different from those in Palestine. For one thing, he says, the fixed schedule that forces students to attend the same classes at the same time each day becomes too dull. In Palestine, the class schedule changes each week. He says in Palestine, the culture forces students to work hard because if they don't they'll be kicked out and put in vocational schools, which limits their career options. There is not nearly as much pressure for American students to do well He says he has to do double the amount of work just to get his students interested.

Section B
Directions: In this section, you will hear 3 short passages. At the end of each passage, you will hear some questions. Both the passage and the questions will be spoken only once. After you hear a question, you must choose the best answer from the four choices marked A, B, C and D.
听力原文: The Library of Congress, the largest library in the United States, contains about 18 million books. Harvard University has the largest academic library with more than nine million books. The largest public library is the Chicago Public Library with nearly 6 million volumes, followed by the New York Public Library with 5.5 million. Consequently, finding a book in any of these libraries must be like finding a needle in a haystack!
Librarians use a special system to make the job of finding books easier. To keep the books in order, librarians give a number to each book in the library., and books are arranged on the shelves according to these numbers. In order to find the number of a book, you must look in the card catalogue. The card catalogue is a special file of cards with information about the books in the library. Each book has three cards in the card catalogue: a title card, an author card, and a subject card. These cards are arranged in the card catalogue in alphabetical order. If you know the title of the book you are looking for, look for the title card. ff you only know the author, look for the author card. If you are looking for a book about a particular subject, look for the subject card. When you find the card of the book you want, copy the number of the book. Then you can find the book easily.

听力原文: This summer the Shakespeare Festival will feature four plays that focus on Roman history, and since we've just finished reading Julius Caesar, I thought you'd be interested in going. The performances should be excellent. Besides our own college actors, there will be actors coming from New York, Los Angeles, Chicago, and London. The festival has received a grant from the National Endowment for the humanities to support the plays, as well as a series of events to increase the public's appreciation of the plays. One of the events I hope you can go to is a public lecture by our own chair, Dr. Arthur Johnson. That will be two weeks from Wednesday at 7 p.m. in the community room downtown at the public library. Dr. Johnson will first give a brief introduction to the whole series, and then discuss Julius Caesar in detail. Tickets for the whole series are on sale now at the campus box office. The first play will begin two weeks from Friday.
