| [背景了解] 今天的文章取自于2003年1月的阅读真题 [文章部分] When school officials in Kalkaska, Michigan, closed classes last week, the media flocked to the story, portraying the town’s 2,305 students as victims of stingy (吝啬的) taxpayers. There is some truth to that; the property-tax rate here is one-third lower than the state average. But shutting their schools also allowed Kalkaska’s educators and the state’s largest teachers’ union, the Michigan Education Association, to make a political point. Their aim was to spur passage of legislation Michigan lawmakers are debating to increase the state’s share of school funding. [单词学习] portray vt.描绘 victim n.受害者,受骗者,受灾者 property n.所有物，财产 spur v.鞭策,鼓励，敦促 legislation n.法律,法规 [课后作业] 请翻译下列4个句子 1.Dickens portrayed his characters to the life. 2.Concern is mounting that the estimated 1.5 million people left homeless will fall victim to epidemics of cholera（霍乱） and other illnesses. 3.
