听力原文: Yale University is a private university. It was founded in 1701 and is the third oldest university in the United States. Yale University was named in honor of a wealthy British, Elihu Yale, who had made a series of donations to the school. Yale's initial lessons emphasized classical studies.
Yale is highly selective in its admissions and is among the nation's most highly rated schools in terms of academic and social prestige. It includes Yale College for undergraduate, the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences, and 10 professional schools.
Yale's Sheffield Scientific School, began in the 1850s, was one of the leading scientific and engineering centers in the nation until the 20th century. A graduate school of arts and sciences was organized in 1847. Schools of music, forestry, nursing, drama, management, and architecture were subsequently established. Women were first admitted to the graduate school in 1892, but the university did not become fully coeducational until 1969.
The Yale University Library, with more than 10.5 million volumes, is one of the largest in the United States. Yale's extensive art gallery, the first in an American college, was established in 1832 when John Trumbull donated a gallery to house his paintings of the American Revolution.
Yale's graduates have included U.S. Presidents William Howard Taft, Gerald R. Ford, George Bush, and William J. (Bill) Clinton; political leader John C. Calhoun; and inventor Eli Whitney.

听力原文: A new book by two professors at Pennsylvania State University compares public education systems around the world. The book is called National Differences, Global Similarities: World Culture and the Future of Schooling.
David Baker and Gerald LeTendre led a group of researchers who gathered information on about 50 countries. Some findings came from the Third International Mathematics and Science Study. That study took place in 1994 and again five years later.
The professors say education is increasingly shaped by what they call “transnational forces”. Officials in many counties are concerned about how their students compare with students in other countries.
Each part of the book develops a different subject researched in schools around the world. One of the subjects is violence among students. The professors say countries with the most school violence include Hungary, Romania and the Philippines.
They say the United States is somewhere in the middle, above nations like New Zealand, Canada, South Korea, Spain and Australia. The findings are based on reports from students.
Professor Baker says inequalities in educational systems act as an influence. He says schools that are sharply divided between “winners and losers” in math have higher levels of violence. “This does not mean that nations should stop trying to raise scores,” he says. “But they should be careful to raise the performance among all students.”
