　　US school pays students to go to study hall

　　A high school in the southern US state of Georgia is offering students who are weak in math and science eight dollars an hour to go to study hall and review their pet peeve subjects.

　　"We started on Tuesday. The kids are very enthusiastic," Mike Robinson, the principal of Creekside High School in Fairburn, said.

　　Forty students -- 20 from middle school and 20 high-schoolers -- were selected on the basis of their poor grades in the two subjects and invited to attend two-hour remedial classes twice a week in exchange for money, which is provided by a private foundation.

　　Everyone who was selected was present at the first session, said Robinson.

　　At the end of the 15-week experiment, a student who attended every session would be 480 dollars richer -- and able to do the calculation to work that out.

　　Those who get a "B" grade or better in math or science after finishing the course will be eligible for a bonus of 125 dollars, leaving them potentially 605 dollars better off in total.

　　"You know, in our community, you have to be really creative to get some students interested," said Robinson.

　　"I think this incentive is going to work," added the principal of the Creekside High, which has 2,500 students.

　　美國南部佐治亞州的一所中學為了激勵數學和自然成績較差的學生上補習班，將為他們提供每小時八美元的獎勵。

　　費爾本市溪邊中學校長邁克?羅賓遜說：“該計劃從周二(上周二)開始實施。學生們的熱情都很高。”

　　該校共有四十名數學和自然成績較差的`學生入選了該計劃，其中初中生和高中生各20名。補習班課程每周兩次，每次兩小時，參加補習班的學生將獲得由某私人基金會提供的現金獎勵。

　　羅賓遜說，所有入選學生都參加了第一次補習。

　　該試驗計劃為期15周。堅持上滿15周課程的學生將得到480美元的“報酬”——到時他們算這個帳也不成問題了(指數學成績提高)。

　　補習課程結束后，數學或自然成績達到B或更高水平的學生將獲得125美元的額外獎勵，這樣他們總共就能得到605元的報酬。

　　羅賓遜說：“在我們這里，你必須得來點創意才能激發一些學生的學習興趣。”

　　“我認為這個激勵計劃會奏效。”溪邊中學共有2500名學生。

　　Vocabulary:

　　pet peeve:something that you strongly dislike because it always annoys you (很不喜歡的東西)
