问题 Chicago Public Schools are going to great lengths to hire teachers—now the school district recruits teachers from other countries to help solve a shortage of teachers．It all started in 1999， when Youses Hannon，a math and physics teacher from Palestine(巴勒斯坦)，visited Chicago．He read about the teacher shortage at Chicago Public Schools and asked the school board if they’d hire him．The board was interested and decided to create a special program for foreign-born teachers like Hannon，and he was the first teacher hired．
    The program is called the Global Educator Outreach or GEO，and it’s a partnership between Chicago Public Schools and the U．S．Government．Because the teacher shortage in Chicago is so extreme，the Government allows the school district to temporarily hire foreign teaching candidates using H1-B visas．The Government grants these visas only to skilled foreign-born citizens so they can work in highly specialized jobs that call’t be filled with available U．S．workforce．
    Through the GEO，the school district has hired dozens of teachers from 22 different countries．Applicants must pass an English language test and specialize in math，science，world language or bilingual(双语的)education．Harmon and the first GEO teachers staried in the classroom at the beginning of the 2000-2001 school year．
    What do the GEO teachers think of the American classroom?Hannon，who was hired to teach math at Gage Park High School，says classrooms in Chicago are very different from those in Palestine．For one thing，he says，the fixed schedule that forces students to attend the same classes at the same time each day becomes too dull．In Palestine，the class schedule changes each week．He says in Palestine，the culture forces students to work hard because if they don’t they’ll be kicked out and put in vocational schools，which limits their career options．There is not nearly as much pressure for American students to do well．He says he has to do double the amount of work just to get his students interested．
It seems that the Global Educator Outreach will __________.
选项 A、be difficult to continue
B、1ast a limited period of time
C、pose a threat to U．S．workforce
D、be extended to other cities
答案B
解析 推断题。我们可从文中第二段最后一句话得出结论：政府批准这些签证，目的在于培训这些外籍居民，使他们能胜任高度专业化的工作，以弥补美国劳动力的不足。由此可见这一做法是为了适应芝加哥目前教育状况的短期的项目，所以B选项是正确答案。
