9、0 p. m, Mr. I. Pomat, a Malupit shop owner, called the meeting to find out the views of the community on local government plans to close the Malupit Community School at the end of the present school year.Mr. Pomat acted as chairman of the meeting. He introduced Mr. L. Karazin, the Planning Office of

10、 the Raval Education Department. Mr. Karazin pointed out that there were now only fifty-three children at Malupit Community School. This was considered to be too high a number for the forming of two classes and the employment of two teachers. Mrs. Luvako, who had taught at the school for the past tw

11、enty-two years, would be retiring from the teaching service in July. The Planning Office wished to take this opportunity to close the school, because it is expensive to run, and to move the children to two bigger schools in Raval, six miles away.Mrs. Jarvis, the mother of an eight-year-old boy at Ma

12、lupit, asked what would happen about transport to Raval. Mr. Karazin replied that the children would travel by bus.

13、parents that closing the local school would mean that the children of Malupit wouldnt grow up with the same sense of community as in the past.

14、would have to go to Raval later on for education at high-school level.The chairman voiced the view of the meeting when he said that there was good reason to believe that there would soon be more young children living in Malupit. It would be foolish, he said, to close the school, and then to find tha

15、t there were more than enough local children to form two classes and employ two teachers.A final point was made by Mr. Colmar, a retired business man, that without Malupit Community School, there would be nowhere big enough for local clubs and organizations to hold their meetings.Mr. Karazin promise

16、d that he would bring these points to the attention of the Education Department.Mr. Pomat brought the meeting to a close shortly after 9 oclock. 21 The Planning Office had decided to close the school because _.（A）there were too many children in each class（B） the schools in Raval were bigger and bett

30、s Rubin in her new book,“ womens friendships with each other rest on shared emotions and support, but mens relationships are marked by shared activities. “For the most part, Rubin says, interactions (交往) between men are emotionally controlleda good fit with the social requirements of “manly behavior
