25、Tom and Becky walked down a winding passage inside a cave, holding their candles high. They saw names and dates written on the wall with candle smoke by other visitors to the cave. Becky and Tom read some of them as they walked along. They were talking so much that it was a little while before they noticed they were now in a part of the cave that had no writing on the wall. They used candle smoke to write their own names on the rock and walked on.

Soon they came to a place where a little stream of water was running. Over the years the cave wall had been shaped by the running stream, and it looked like a frozen waterfall. Tom went behind it and lit it up with his candle so that Becky could see it better. Behind the stone waterfall he found an opening in the rock, leading downwards. At once he wanted to explore it. Becky agreed and together they started to walk down into the earth. They wound this way and that, far into the cave, making smoke marks here and there to show the way back. This was exciting. They would have a lot to tell their friends above when they returned.

In one place, they found a huge, open space full of shining stalactites(钟乳石), as long and thick as a man’s leg. They walked around it and left by one of the many passages that opened into it. The next place they found was full of bats. There were thousands of them. The candlelight woke them up, and they flew at the candle flames at once. Tom knew this was dangerous and took Becky’s hand to hurry her away. He pulled her into the first opening he found. And none too soon, one of the bats put out Becky’s candle with its wings as she ran away. The bats chased them for quite a long way, but Tom and Becky ran into every new passage that they came to, and at last got away from the bats.

26、American high schools have a dropout rate (辍学率) of up to 50%. There are many reasons for students leaving school:

● For two thirds of the dropouts, motivation (动力) is the problem. They can’t just work hard enough.

● Almost half of them said that they had missed so many classes that they could not follow any more.

High school dropouts have more problems in their future lives. They are more likely (可能的) to be out of work or live a poor life.

Many younger students do not understand the influence of dropping out of school. They often need better teachers, more lessons to get good grades in subjects and more help with learning problems. Some schools in America have changed this situation. Some schools offer evening classes or allow students to come back at a later age.
