2005年普通高等学校招生全国统一考试(山东卷) A Last August, Joe and Mary Mahoney began looking at colleges for their 17-year-old daughter, Maureen．With a checklist of criteria in hand, the Dallas family looked around the country visiting half a dozen schools．They sought a university that offered the teenager’s intended major, one located neat a large city, and a campus where their daughter would be safe. “The safety issue is a big one,” says Joe Mahoney, who quickly discovered he wasn’t alone in his worries．On campus tours other parents voiced similar concerns, and the same question was always asked: what about crime? But when college officials always gave the same answer -----“That’s not a problem here,”-----Mahoney began to feel uneasy. “No crime whatsoever?” comments Mahoney today．“I just don’t buy it.” Nor should he: in 1999 the U.S．Department of education had reports of nearly 400,000 serious crimes on or around our campuses．“Parents need to understand that times have changed since they went to college,” says David Nichols, author of Creating a Safe Campus．“Campus crime mirrors the rest of the nation.” But getting accurate information isn’t easy．Colleges must report crime statistics(统计数字) by law, but some hold back for fear of bad publicity, leaving the honest ones looking dangerous．“The truth may not always be serious,” warns S．Daniel Carter of Security on Campus, Inc., the nation’s leading campus safety watchdog group. To help concerned parents, Carter promised to visit campuses and talk to experts around the country to find out major crime issues and effective solutions.

B Fidenzio Salvatori is determined that the city of Toronto will have an outdoor marketplace for merchants from its immigrant community, complete with dancing and other forms of amusement from their native countries．“Toronto is truly multicultural(多元文化的),” he said in a newspaper interview．“It’s a city from many places, and a multicultural marketplace will help Torontonians to understand and appreciate the rich variety of cultural groups in our city.” Salvatori, aged 23, will soon complete his studies at the University of Toronto．He was eleven years old when he came to Canada from Italy with his parents．“Most of Toronto’s immigrants are from lands where the marketplace has always been part of daily life,” he said.
