Topic 15 The Key Problem of the Key School
Schools stronger in financial conditions, teaching staff and academic reputations are designated "key" and would become stronger with the backing of more official assistance. Nowadays key schools are the most popular stars. Students of course prefer the key schools because they can enjoy modern teaching buildings, advanced multimedia classrooms, outdoor stadiums and even indoor stadiums. To parents, the key school is the first key to the bright future of their children. At the beginning of every new semester there are plenty of parents willing to do whatever it takes to send their children to a school or class with a "key" label.

After absorbing great amount of social resources, these key schools could not payback thousands of elites; instead they become a kind of dangerous time bomb. When key schools occupy most of government funds,those non—key ones, which are badly in need of a helping hand from the government, could only get less attention and support; thus become less competitive and less attractive. The gap between key schools and non—key schools is becoming so wide that it would seriously affect the education system of our country entirely. What is worse is that imbalanced education would do great damage to the social justice and harmony. We need effective measures, or it would be too late.

參考答案：

“重點學?！彼鶐淼闹饕獑栴}

那些經費更為充足、擁有更好師資和學術聲譽的學校被稱為“重點學?！?，憑借這一稱號，重點學校能獲得更多的政府支持，從而變得更有實力。如今重點學校已是萬眾矚目的明星。學生當然更樂意去重點學校，因為那里有現代化的教學樓、先進的多媒體教室、甚至室外體育場。對于家長來說，重點學校更是決定孩子光明前途的首要因素。每個新學期伊始，都會有許多家長不惜一切地要將自己的孩子送到那些被稱為“重點”的學校。

但是重點學校在吸收了大量社會資源后，卻并不能回饋社會以更多的精英；相反，重點學校變成了一顆危險的定時炸彈。當重點學校拿走大部分的政府資助時，那些急需政府幫助的非重點學校不受重視。重點學校和非重點學校之間的差距越來越大，以至于使我們國家的整個教育事業都受影響。更為嚴重的是，教育的不均衡發展勢必會嚴重破壞社會的公正和和諧。我們要采取有效措施，以免為時過晚。
