3.Most American students go to traditional public schools.There are about 88,000public schools all over the US.Some students attend about 3,000independent public schools called charter schools.
Charter schools are selfgoverning.Private companies operate some charter schools.They are similar in some ways to traditional public schools.They receive tax just as other public schools do.Charter schools must prove to local or state governments that their students are learning.These govern-ments  provide  the  schools  with  the  agreement called a charter that permits them to operate.
Charter schools are different because they don't have to obey most laws governing  traditional public schools.Local,state or federal governments cannot tell them what to teach.Each school can choose its own goals and decide the ways it wants to reach them.Class size is usually smaller than in traditional public schools.
Governments strongly support charter schools  as a way to reorganize public  schools that are  failing to educate students.But some education agencies and unions oppose charter schools.One teachers'union has just made public the results of the first national study comparing the progress of students in traditional schools and charter schools.
The American Federation of Teachers criticized the government's delay in releasing the results of the study,which is called the National Assessment of Educational Progress.Union education experts say the study shows that charter school students  performed  worse in math and reading tests than students in regular public schools.
Some experts say the study is not a fair look at charter schools because students in those schools have more problems than students in traditional schools.Other education experts say the study results should make charter school officials demand more student progress.
9.If a private company wants to operate a charter school,it mustD.
A. try new methods of teaching
B. prove its management ability
C. obey all local and state laws
D. get the government's permission

A. they make greater progress
B. their class size is smaller
C. they enjoy more freedom
D. they oppose traditional ways
11.What can we learn from the text?D
A. More students choose to attend charter schools.
B. Charter schools are better than traditional schools.
C. Students in charter schools are well educated.
D. People have different opinions about charter schools.
