A

Until the 1980s, the American homeless population comprised mainly older males. Today, homelessness

strikes much younger part of society. In fact, a 25-city survey by the U. S. Conference of Mayors in 1987

found

that

families

with

children

make

up

the

fastest

growing

part

of

the

homeless

population.

Many

homeless

children

gather

in

inner

cities;

this

transient(

变化无常的

)

and

frequently

frightened

student

population

creates

additional

problems

—

both

legal

and

educational

—

for

already

overburdened

urban

school administrators and teachers.

Estimates of the number of homeless Americans range from 350,000 to three million. Likewise,

estimates of the number of homeless school children vary radically. A U.S. Department of Education report,

based on state estimates, states that there are 220,000 homeless school-age children, about a third of whom

do not attend school on a regular basis, But the National Coalition for the Homeless estimates that there are

at least two times as many homeless children, and that less than half of them attend school regularly.

One part of the homeless population that is particularly difficult to count consists of the

“throwaway”

youths who have been cast of their homes. The Elementary School Center in New York City estimates that

there are 1.5 million of them, many of whom are not counted as children because they do not stay in family

shelters and tend to live by themselves on the streets.

Federal

law,

the

Stewart

B.

McKinney

Homeless

Assistance

Act

of

1987,

includes

a

section

that

addresses the educational needs of homeless children. The educational provisions of the McKinney Act are

based on the belief that all homeless children have the right to a free, appropriate education.

1. It is implied in the first paragraph that ____.

A) the writer himself is homeless, even in his eighties

B) many older homeless residents are going on strike in 25 cities

C) there is a serious shortage of academic facilities

D) homeless children are denied the opportunity of receiving free education

2. The National Coalition for the homeless believes that the number of homeless children is _____.

A) 350,000

B) 1,500,000

C) 440,000

D) 110,000

3. One part of the homeless population is difficult to estimate. The reason might well be ____.

A) the homeless children are too young to be counted as children

B) the homeless population is growing rapidly

C) the homeless children usually stay outside school

D) some homeless children are deserted by their families

4. The McKinney Act is mentioned in this passage in order to show that ___.

A) the educational problems of homeless children are being recognized

B) the estimates on homeless children are hard to determine

C) the address of grade-school children should be located

D) all homeless people are entitled to free education

5. The passage mainly deals with ____.

A) the legal problems of the homeless children

B) the educational problems of homeless children

C) the social status of older males

D) estimates on the homeless population

B

Baekeland and Hartmann report that the “short sleepers” had been more or less average in their sleep

needs until the men were in their teens. But at about age 15 or so, the men voluntarily began cutting down

their nightly sleep time because of pressures from school, work, and other activities. These men tended to

view their nightly periods of unconsciousness as bothersome interruptions in their daily routines.
