题目

    I can tell you from experience, both private and public schools have one thing in common.   Look around your school. What do you see? Beautiful buildings? Good teachers? I’ll tell you what   I see: the need to have the most expensive clothing, newest phone, most expensive car, etc. Think   about it. Do you find yourself wanting to one-up(胜过)your friends? Be honest. I know I have at   some point in time.     In my school parking lot, for example, there are more BMW’s and Mercedes than one   could possibly imagine. When I look at my 2006 Honda CRV, the butterflies in my stomach start   flapping their wings wildly. Do people look at me differently because my car is old?     What about my phone? What about text messaging? Earlier this year in my statistics class   my teacher asked our class how many texts each student received in the past 24 hours. My count   was twelve. Twenty minutes later, people started to come up with the answers of 200 or more. I   firmly believe that people were in competition with each other. Who could get the most texts?   Having only twelve texts sent to me made me feel terrible. Was it bad that hardly anyone had   texted me? My teacher would never have thought that his question which intended a better   understanding of the course made me uncomfortable.     How about the difference between grade levels in high school? Come on. There is a   distinct difference from being a senior and a freshman. At gatherings, the senior class boos(喝倒   彩)every other grade, sometimes causing fights. Being a senior, I don’t want to make negative   comments on people in other grade levels. High school is hard enough as it is. Freshmen,   sophomores and juniors don’t need four hundred students to remind them.     Trying to impress everyone is hard. Most of the stress we have as teens is living up to   everyone else’s expectations. The only people we need to impress are ourselves. Be in competition   with yourself and you’ll live a happier life.      71. What is the comon thing beteen private and public schools according to the writer?     A. Good teaching resourses.     B.
