Passage Two Manhattan trigonometry (三解法) teacher Terry Webber takes his students to the East River every year and has them measure the distance across with just a ruler and a protractor (量角器). The students then ride the Staten Island ferry and, knowing only the height of the Statue of Liberty; calculate the distance between Staten Island and Manhattan. That’s the kind of out-of-the-box approach that Webber and other critics fear will go out the window with the sweeping school reforms announced this week by Mayor Bloomberg and Schools Chancellor Joel Klein. "We won’t have time," Webber said., "We will have to teach them to memorize certain bits of information, then say, ’Bubble (泡沫,幻想的计划) in this test. ’" The reforms--including a more rigorous tenure (任期) review for new teachers and a system in which the school bureaucracy (官僚机构) is slashed (削减) and principals are freed from administrative supervision--are largely made possible by an "accountability" system that will measure everything that goes on in schools, reducing the data to easy-to-understand letter grades: A, B, C, D or F. Principals whose schools get Fs could face firing. New teachers whose students aren’t scoring well could be denied tenure. And administrators will be able to survey large swaths of the city’s 1,400 schools with greater efficiency. The letter grades will factor attendance rates and the results of parent and teacher surveys, but will primarily hinge on test scores. Students also will be tested throughout the school year so their progress can be measured and posted online for parents. "This online system will track progress in real time and take the guesswork out of what good teaching looks like--thus enabling teachers to tailor instruction to the particular needs of each student," Klein said yesterday. But teachers like Webber say not all of the things kids need to learn can be reduced to data. "Some kids are better at making presentations. Some kids are better at analyzing things." Advocates who oppose testing are furious about the reforms. "This is totally deprofessionalizing (非专业化的,非职业化的) teachers," said Jane Hirschmann, of Time Out From Testing. "They will be doing data entry. Tests were supposed to be a measure of reform. Instead, tests have become the reform and they have become the curriculum." The kind of out-of-the-box approach ______.

A. would be eliminated from the school
B. would be welcome by students
C. would be widely used
D. is not practical

Passage One Los Angeles--" Can you believe how cold it is.’" giggled Pink at the E!/Environmental Media Association’s post-Golden Globes fete (庆祝) on Monday night in Beverly Hills. "That’s a good segue(延续), because we’re here at this party to talk about the environment. I shouldn’t be freezing, and if we have more parties like this, maybe I won’t be." Pink was shivering in a short-sleeved golden micromini dress, but most female partygoers were more bundled up (穿暖) against the elements. Despite heat lamps that drew crowds, the party, which was held in a tent on the top of a parking lot next to the Beverly Hilton ( where the Golden Globes show had played out earlier), was so chilly you could actually see your breath. In fact, the temperature was in the thirties by the time KT Tunstall took the stage and rocked out with a set including her hit songs Suddenly I See and Black Horse and the Cherry Tree, helping get people’s blood flowing as they danced--still wearing coats, however! The biggest winner to swoop through the ecologically decorated space was Sacha Baron Cohen, clutching his Globe for Best Performance by an Actor in a Motion Picture --Musical or Comedy in one hand and his long-time girlfriend Isla Fisher (The Wedding Crasher) in the other. She looked ravishing (引人入胜的) in a vintage (古老的) navy blue Herve Leger strapless gown, but definitely seemed to be freezing, and they didn’t stay long. So many parties (there were eight in all, all within walking distance of the ballroom where the awards were given out) for a winner to hit, and most were actually inside, warm and out of the elements. But despite the weather, the E!/EMA party drew a host of ecologically minded celebs (名流). Julia Louis-Dreyfus also wore a short gold cocktail dress, and used her very tall hubby Brad Hall to keep her warm; we hear she packed her little clutch with L’Oreal Paris’ new HIP High Intensity Pigments lip glosses earlier in the evening, as the company handed out swag in their Ladies Lounge inside the Golden Globes. Militant greenie Daryl Hannah was one of the first celebs to stop in; she was very bundled up, as were Milla Jovovich and Amy Smart. Ivanka Trump and her brother Donald Junior made the scene, as did Alyssa Milano, Kerry Washington, Amber Valletta, Molly Sims, James Franco, Michelle Trachtenberg, Vanessa Minnillo ( no sign of Nick Lachey, however), and Bahar Soomekh. And the main topic of conversation among the huddled groups, shivering together in the record-breaking cold, global warming, A1 Gore, and "An Inconvenient Truth" , of course. The party was held ______.

A. by EMA
B. a global show
C. in a tent on the top of a parking lot next to the Beverly Hilton
D. in a garage on the top of the parking lot next to the Beverly Hillon
