Every morning at Dixie Heights High School, customers pour into a special experiment: the district’s first coffee shop run mostly by students with special learning needs.
Well before classes start, students and teachers order Lattes, Cappuccinos and Hot Chocolates. Then, during the first period, teachers call in orders on their room phones, and students make deliveries.
By closing time at 9:20 a.m., the shop usually sells 90 drinks.
"Whoever made the chi tea, Ms. Schatzman says it was good," Christy McKinley, a second-year student, announced recently, after hanging up with the teacher.
The shop is called the Dixie PIT, which stands for Power in Transition. Although some of the students are not disabled, many are, and the PIT helps them prepare for life after high school.
They learn not only how to run a coffee shop but also how to deal with their affairs. They keep a timecard and receive paychecks, which they keep in check registers.
Special-education teachers Kim Chevalier and Sue Casey introduced the Dixie PIT from a similar program at Kennesaw Mountain High School in Georgia.
Not that it was easy. Chevalier’s first problem to overcome was product-related. Should schools be selling coffee? What about sugar content?
Kenton County Food Service Director Ginger Gray helped. She made sure all the drinks, which use non-fat milk, fell within nutrition guidelines.
The whole school has joined in to help.
Teachers agreed to give up their lounge in the mornings. Art students painted the name of the shop on the wall. Business students designed the paychecks. The basketball team helped pay for cups.
Questions 26 to 28 are based on the passage you have just heard.
26. What is the passage mainly about?
27. What was the purpose of the Dixie PIT program?
28. What do we know about Ginger Gray from the passage?
选项
A、To supply teachers with drinks.
B、To do some research on nutrition.
C、To raise money for school affairs.
D、To develop students’ practical skills.
答案
D
解析
选项均以”To十原形动词”开头,表明本题可能考查目的。由短文中提到的the PIT helps them prepare for life after high school(PIT帮助他们为毕业后的生活做准备)及They learn not only how to run a coffee shop but also how to deal with their affairs(他们不仅学到如何经营咖啡店而且学到怎样处理自己的事情)可知,PIT计划的目的就是发展学生的实用技能,故答案为[D]。
