　　expelled

More than 6000 children were expelled(开除) from US schools last year for bringing guns and bombs to school, the US Department of Education said on May 8.

The department gave a report on the expulsions as saying handguns accounted for 58 per cent of the 6093 expulsions in 1996—97, against 7 per cent for rifles(步枪) or shotguns and 35 per cent for other types of firearms.

“The report is a clear sign that our nation’s public schools are cracking down(严惩)” on students who bring guns to school, “Education Secretry Richard Riey said in a statement. “We need to be tough-minded(坚强的) about keeping guns out of our schools and do everything to keep our children safe.”

In March 1997, a 11-year-old boy and a 13-year-old using hand-guns and rifles shot dead four children and a teacher at a school in Jonesboro,Arkansas. In October, two were killed and seven wounded in a shooting at a Missisippi school. Two months later, a 14-year-old boy killed three high school students and wounded five inDaducab,Kentucky.

“Most of the expulsions(开除), 56 per cent, were from high schools, which have students from about age 13, 34 per cent were from junior high schools and 9 per cent were from elementary schools.” The report said.

　　adventurers

There have never been many adventurers. You van read stories about men called adventures. But they were really businessmen. There was something they wanted----- a lady, or money, or a country, or honor. And so they got it. But a true adventure is different. He starts without any special purpose. He is ready for anything he may meet.

There have been many half-adventurers. And they were great men. History is rich with their stories. But each of them had a special purpose. They were not followers of true adventure.

In the big city of New York, Romance and Adventure are always waiting.

As we walk along the street, they are watching us. We look up suddenly and see a face in a window. The face seems to interest us strangely. Or in a quiet street, we hear a cry of fear and pain coming from a house where no one lives. A car takes us to a strange door, instead of to our own. The door opens and we are asked to enter. At every corner, eyes look toward us, or hands are raised, or fingers point. Adventure is offered.

But few of us are ready to accept. We are ready to do only the things we do every day. We wish to do only the things that everyone else does. We move on; and some day we come to the end of a long quiet life. Then we begin to think. Then, when it is too late, we are sorry that we have never known true Romance and Adventure.
