The department gave a report on the expulsions (開除)as saying handguns accounted for 58 percent of the 6093 expulsions in 2005—2006, against 7 percent for rifles(步槍)or shotguns and 35 percent for other types of firearms.
“the report is a dear sign that our nation’s public schools are cracking down” on students who bring guns to school, ” Education Secretary Richard Riey said in a statement. “We need to be tough-minded about keeping guns out of our schools and do everything to keep our children safe.”
In March 2006, a 1l-year-old boy and a 13-year-old boy using handguns and rifles shot dead four children and a teacher at a school in Jonesboro, Arkansas. In October, two were killed and seven wounded in a shooting at a Mississippi school. Two months later, a 14-year-old boy killed three high school students and wounded five in Daducab, Kentucky.
“Most of the expulsions, 56 percent were from high schools, which have students from about age 13, 34 percent were from junior high schools and 9 percent were from elementary schools”, the report said.

  The United States is already one year into a depression That was the news this week from the Na-tional Bureau of Economic Research.The downturn is the longest since a depression that began in 1981and lasted sixteen months.

  Economists generally wait for production to shrink for six months in a row before they declare a re-cession.But the bureau, a private group, uses a wider set of information to measure the economy.Thenews only confirmed what many people already knew:that the world's largest economy is weak and maynot recover soon.

  Worsening conclitions have led to a big drop in spending, especially on costly products like new cars.Even Japanese automaker Toyota saw its sales fall thirty - four percent in the United States in November from a year ago.

  The heads of Chrysler, Ford and General Motors retumed to Congress this week to again ask for federal aid.Congressional leaders denounced(指責(zé))them two weeks ago after they came in private jets with no clear plans for saving their industry.This time, the chiefs drove to Washington in fuel- saving hybrid vehicles.And their companies presented detailed restructuring plans.The reguest for aid has risen from twenty-five billion dollars two weeks ago to thirty-four billion in loans and credit lines.

  G.M.wants almost half of that, and says it needs four billion dollars this month.It warned that without support it cannot continue to operate.

  Ford is in a better position, But the sharing of suppliers means it could be affected if G.M.or Chrysler fails.Ford is asking for a nine billion dollar credit line in case it needs it.

  Chrysler is the smallest and most trouble of America's Big Three.It says it needs a seven billion dollar loan by the end of the month.

  Two days of congressional hearings began Thursday in the Senate Banking Committee.The chairman, Democrat Chris Dodd, said he would support helping the automakers for the good of the economy.

  But the committee's top Republican, Richard Shelby, continued to express opposition to a bailout(賄政援助).

  A main root of the world financial crisis is the weak housing market in the United States.The Trea-sury Department has been under pressure to help troubled homeowners.Now comes news that the depart-ment is developing a plan aimed at reducing interest rates on mortgage loans(汽車貸款)for some buyers of homes.That could be good for homeowners trying to sell.
