Boys, schools are the perfect place to teach young men to express their emotions and involve them in activities such as art,dance and music.

Boys at single-sex schools were said to be more likely to get involved in cultural and artistic ac?tivities that helped develop their emotional expressiveness,rather than feeling they had to obey the "boy code" of hiding their emotions to be a "real man". 

Tony Little,headmaster of Eton,warned that boys were being faded by the British education system because it had become too focused on girls. He criticized teachers for failing to recognize that boys are actually more emotional than girls.

The research argued that boys often perform badly in mixed schools because they become discouraged when their female peers do better in speaking and reading skills.

But in single-sex schools teachers can tailor lessons to boys' learning style,letting them move around the classroom and getting them to compete in teams to prevent boredom,wrote the study, s author,Abigail James, of the University of Virginia.

Teachers could encourage boys to enjoy reading and writing with "boy-focused" approaches such as themes and characters that appeal to them. Because boys generally have more acute vision,learn best through touch, and are physically more active, they need to be given "hands-on" lessons where they are allowed to walk around. "Boys in mixed schools view classical music as feminine (女性的)and prefer the modern genre(类型)in which violence and sexism are major themes," James wrote.

Single-sex education also made it less likely that boys would feel they had to obey the traditional idea that men should be "masterful and in charge" in relationships. "In mixed schools boys feel forced to act like men before they understand themselves well enough to know what that means," the study reported.

I heard many parents complaining that their teenage children are rebelling. I wish it were so. At your age you ought to be growing away from your parents. You should be learning to stand on your own two feet. But take a good look at the present rebellion. It seems that teenagers are taking the same way of showing that they disagree with their parents. Instead of striking out boldly on their own,most of them are clutching (紧握)at one another's hands for reassurance.

They claim they want to dress as they please. But they all wear the same clothes. They set off in new directions in music. But somehow they all end up huddled (聚在一起)round listening to the same record. Their reason for thinking or acting in thus-and-such a way is that the crowd is doing it. They have come out of their cocoon(蚕茧)into a larger cocoon.

It has become harder and harder for a teenager to stand up against the popularity wave and to go his or her own way. Industry has firmly carved out a teenage market. These days every teenager can learn from the advertisements what a teenager should have and be. And many of today' s parents have come to award high marks for the popularity of their children. All this adds up to a great barrier for the teenager who wants to find his or her own path.

But the barrier is worth climbing over. The path is worth following. You may want to listen to classical music instead of going to a party. You may want to collect rocks when everyone else is col?lecting records. You may have some thoughts that you don't care to share at once with your class?mates. Well,go to it. Find yourself. Be yourself. Popularity will come―with the people who respect you for who you are. That is the only kind of popularity that really counts.

A. growing away from their parents    B. following the popularity trend C. walking a new way on their own D. turning to their friends for help

A. the distractive and variable society    B. the dazzling music world

C. the parental care and love    D. the popularity wave in the society

(   ) 7. What does the author think of advertisements?

A. Convincing. B. Instructive. C. Influential. D. Authoritative.
