San Juan Academy has developed a unique approach to dealing with underachieving students.

Instead of doling out punishment for incomplete assignments, or assigning extra hours of tutoring for bad grades, the academy provides failing students with a reward. Through the Computers for Success program, San Juan Academy students who fall behind their classmates in reading and mathematics are given their own computers. For nine weeks, the students get to keep a personal computer with a printer and software in their homes. They can work and play with the computer whenever they like and as often as they like.

Is this a prize for being bad in school? "It may look that way to an outsider," says school principal Edna Seymour, "but this approach is actually well backed up by research. Studies show that students who are computer literate do much better in school. The figures rise for students who actually have a computer at home, and are even higher for students from homes where most of the family members are comfortable using a computer."

Because of this, when a student is given a computer to take home, families are encouraged to get into the act, too. Students in the Computers for Success program are required, together with their parents and siblings, to attend a weekend computer seminar. This way everyone in the family becomes familiar with the use of the computer. This is an investment in the students' educational future. "It is widely accepted that parental involvement makes all the difference in a child's school success," says Principal Seymour. "We are extending that idea to involve families in our computer literacy program. As part of that program, we make it possible for families to buy refurbished computers at an affordable price. Many of our families have already taken advantage of this opportunity. On the whole, we have been very pleased with the Computers for Success program."

Which of the following is NOT part of the program?

A.Software programs

B.A printer

C.A personal computer

D.Textbooks

The FBI (Federal Bureau of Investigation) had found a new way to catch criminals by lookin

The FBI (Federal Bureau of Investigation) had found a new way to catch criminals by looking at their jeans. Scientists from the bureau reported at last weeks meeting of the American academy of Forensic Sciences in San Francisco that every pair of blue jeans has a unique wear pattern. The FBI has already used this "bar code "to place a suspect at the scene of a crime.

Richard Vorder Bruegge, a scientist at the FBI laboratory in Washington D. C. , and his colleagues developed the technique while helping to identify suspects who were robbing banks and setting off bombs ii1 Washington In April 1996, one of the gang was caught on film . He was wearing a mask, but part of his trousers was visible.

When the photograph was enlarged Vorder Bruegge noticed light and dark lines running across the seam of the man' s jeans. His team found that the pattern originated from slight imperfections introduced when the trousers were made. Workers sew the seams by pushing the fabric through a machine, and the irregularity of that motion stretches and binds the fabric . The colored layer of cotton in the raised portion is worn away, creating white bands.

The patches are more striking on jeans than other types of trousers because they are often al- lowed to become extremely worn, "People just keep wearing them, "says Vorder Bruegge.

The FBI analyzed the jeans of suspects in the Washington case. One pair had a pattern with over two dozen features that matched the jeans Vorder Bruegge's team photographed. At the tri- al, the defense called in a used jeans exporter as an expert witness who claimed the patterns were common to all jeans. He showed the court 34 similar pairs, but in each case the FBI could distinguish them from the accused . The suspect was convicted.

"To place a suspect at the scene of a crime" at the end of the first paragraph means that theFBI

A.has been able to prove a suspect guilty

B.will lead a suspect to the spot of a crime

C.were at the scene with the suspect.

D.caught the suspect on the spot
