Single-sex schools are better than mixed schools

Message 1 — posted by Jane, Amsterdam

I think mixed-sex schools are the only way for children to learn, because it's natural. In higher education and their working life, they will be mixed so it makes sense for them to be mixed at school. School should reflect the real world.

Message 2 — posted by Hans, Germany

My reaction to this is very clear. For me, single-sex schools are much better, and the statistics show that they get better exam results, particularly at secondary level. Anything which helps children pass exams must be a good thing.

Message 3 — posted by Bill, USA

Boys and girls learn in very different ways. I feel that they should be educated separately so teachers can focus on their different needs. The way I see it is that if you have a zoo, you don't put the lions in with the zebras!

Message 4 — posted by Martin, London

My view on this is that it doesn't really matter. What is important is the curriculum (课程), and keeping students interested. I was a teacher and we had a lot of truancy (逃学) to deal with, and problems with students missing lessons because they found them boring. Never have a timetable with Maths as the first class on Monday morning!

Message 5 — posted by Emily, Sydney

I don't think there is any question that mixed schools are better. There is too much competition at single-sex schools, which often means that students don't make enough progress. I also think there is more bullying (欺凌) at single-sex schools, where children are picked on because of the increased competition. Single-sex schools lead to a “dog eat dog” situation.

1.What is Jane's attitude towards single-sex schools?

A. Negative. B. Favorable.

C. Objective. D. Unconcerned.

2.Both Hans and Bill hold that _____.

A. boys and girls should be taught separately

B. teachers should meet students' different needs

C. schools should focus on students' exam results

D. mixed schools are better than single-sex schools

3.Martin stresses the importance of _____.

A. school management

B. students' time awareness

C. training students to obey rules

D. exciting students' interest in courses

4.Emily uses “dog eat dog” to show _____.

A. her support for single-sex schools

B. students' determined effort to succeed

C. the fierce competition in single-sex schools

D. the better education results in single-sex schools

Robert Ballard is probably the most famous deep-sea explorer in the past 100 years. While he is best known for his historic discovery of the wreckage(残骸) of the R.M.S. Titanic which sank to the bottom of the sea in 1912, he also discovered the wreckage of the Bismarck and the Yorktown. Over his career, Dr. Ballard has completed over 120 deep-sea journeys and continues to push exploration to new depths with new technologies and strategies. His new high-tech Inner Space Center at the University of Rhode Island links scientists all over the world and makes it possible to identify new discoveries in realtime.

Reporter: What were you like as a kid?

Ballard: I was a very “active” kid with lots of interests including sports (football, basketball, and tennis), fishing, and studies.

Reporter: Do you have a hero?

Ballard: My hero is Captain Nemo from the book, Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea by Jules Verne and his submarine the Nautilus.

Reporter: What do you daydream about?

Ballard: It started with a scholarship to the Scripps Institute of Oceanography in La Jolla, California, in the summer of 1959 when I was a junior in high school. That summer, I went to sea on two separate expeditions in Baja California with various oceanographers(海洋学家). During one of those expeditions, I met Dr. Robert Norris, a Scripps graduate with a Ph. D. in marine geology, who invited me to come to the University of California, Santa Barbara where I ended up getting my undergraduate degree in Geology and Chemistry with minors in Math and Physics.

Reporter: What’s the best piece of advice that anyone has ever given you that you can share with us?

Ballard: Follow your dreams and don’t let anyone talk you out of them.

Reporter: Do you have any good jokes?

Ballard: I prefer sayings to jokes. My favorite is, “Never get into the thick of thin things.”

The concept of a working holiday is fairly simple.It is a vacation which normally lasts for several weeks or even months,during which you divide your time between work and recreation.The typical working holiday includes some manual labor and sightseeing.You can usually get room and board in exchange for a few hours of work.For instance,Australia and New Zealand encourage working holidays by offering one-year visas to people between the ages of 18 and 30.Countries all over the world offer the chances to work or volunteer and live in a new environment.All you need is a return ticket and enough cash to live on.

While some people choose to work in restaurants or hotels,others may do fruit picking which is perhaps the most popular type of work.Be prepared for long working days in the orchard,which may last up to ten hours a day.If you are not ready for this,a more leisurely job with shorter hours is possible,but you will not make as much money.Another option is volunteering in foreign countries.For example,you can work with disabled children in Bolivia and practice your Spanish,research dolphins and whales in Italy,or build schools in rural towns in Ghana.

A working holiday is a great way to broaden your horizons since it gives you the chance to explore a country,practice a new language,and meet people from all over the world.These kinds of adventures sometimes have a really big impact on those who have experienced a working holiday.They often say that it was one of the best memories of their lives.Be aware! Even though some working vacation programs pay,not all of them do sometimes you end up paying to go on working vacation.However,a working holiday can get you off the beaten track and into spots the average tour bus would never go near.

I’ve just got to talk about this problem I’m having with my postman. It all began a year ago, after the birth of his first child. Not wanting to appear rude, I asked him about the baby. The next week, not wanting him to think I had asked out of mere politeness the week before, I asked all about the baby again. Now I can’t break the habit. I freeze whenever I see him coming. The words “How’s the baby?” come out on their own. It holds me up. It holds him up. So why can’t I stop it? The answer is that I want him to like me. Come to think of it, I want everyone to like me.

What about at work? Richard Lawton, a management trainer, warns: “Those managers who are actually liked by most of their staff (员工)are always those who are honest with staff, treating them as human beings and following common politeness like saying hello in the morning.” To explain the point, Richard told the story of the company chairman who especially wanted to be liked. One day, after making one of his employees fired, the employee replied: “If you were that sorry, I wouldn’t be leaving.” The lesson is that if you try too hard to be liked, people won’t like you.

The experts say it all starts in childhood. “If children feel they can only get love from their parents by being good,” says Zelda West-Meads, a marriage adviser, “they develop low self-confidence.” But is there anything wrong in being a giver? Anne Cousins believes there is. “Sometimes giving becomes unhealthy,” she says. “It comes when you do things for others but feel bad about it.”

I am now trying hard to say to people “I feel uncomfortable about saying this, but…” and tell myself “Refusal of a request does not mean Refusal of a person” and I find I can say almost anything to almost anyone.

1.Why does the author ask the postman about his baby?

A. He is interested in the baby.

B. He wants to be always polite to him.

C. He wants to leave a good impression to him.

D. It’s a way to start a chat with great politeness.

2.Managers are more likely to be popular if they ______.

A. help the staff with their problems

B. make sure the staff do not lose their jobs

C. encourage the staff to be polite to each other

D. do not make too much effort to be liked

3.What is the author’s intention of writing this passage?

A. To show how to let others like you more.

B. To encourage people to have more self-confidence.

C. To prove how to create a harmonious atmosphere.

D. To suggest ways of dealing with difficult people.

Just like rice and Noodles are different from bread, snacks in China are a world apart from those in the UK and the US. For one thing, I never imagined that sunflower seeds(葵花籽) would be so popular here. I found people having them while waiting for tables outside restaurants, before dinner and, of course, while watching TV. I also saw that a plate of sunflower seeds is always on tables during the Spring Festival holidays.

I had seldom tried sunflower seeds when I came to China. In the UK, young people love their snacks. In fact, young people in Britain eat more snacks than people of the same age in other European countries. A recent Survey has discovered that 64% of under 20-year-olds snack between meals, according to an article on a British website. In comparison(对比), 58.7% of young people snack in Germany, 53% in France, and only 40.7% in Spain.

In Britain, we always looked forward to our favorite potato chips and chocolate bars after school. In U.S. One of things that I found the most wonderful when I first visited the US was the number of snacks in their supermarkets; I was surprised to find huge shelves just for snacks were bigger than some stores in the UK. Snack tastes in the US are much the same as in the UK.

All in all, it’s probably best for your health if you like sunflower seeds rather than potato chips and chocolate. But eating these delicious snacks sometimes couldn’t be wrong, could it?

1.What is the article mainly about?

A. The most popular snack in China.

B. Snacks in the UK and the US.

C. Snacks young Western people like.

D. Some tips for choosing snacks in the UK.

2.According to the British Council, snacks are most popular among young people in_______.

A. Britain B. Germany C. France D. Spain

3.What surprised the author when he went to supermarkets in the US?

A. How the snacks tasted.

B. The size of the snacks’ packages.

C. The lack of choice when it came to snacks.

D. The large number of snacks.

4.What does the author think of potato chips and chocolate?

A. They don’t taste as good as sunflower seeds.

B. They are unhealthy, so people should stop eating them.

C. It’s better eat them with sandwiches and fruit.

D. It’s fine to enjoy them sometimes although they are unhealthy.

Most buildings are built to stand up straight, but these look as if they might fall over!

The church tower of Suurhusen

Built in 1450, the 27-meter-high church tower lies in Suurhusen, Germany. It was built in wet land on foundations of oak tree trunks (树干). When the land was drained (排水) later, the wood broke down, causing one side of the tower to be a little lower than the other. In 1975, the tower became a real hazard and people were not allowed to enter until the foundations were made strong again. The lean (倾斜) of the tower is now about five degrees.

The Leaning Tower of Pisa

The work of building the tower began in 1173, and was finally completed in 1372. In fact, it began to lean after just a couple of floors were built. And this condition continued in the centuries after its completion. The tower was finally closed to the public in 1990 after people failed to stabilize (使稳固) its foundations. In 2001, it was reopened after engineers removed soil from underneath its raised side. Now it leans just an angle of 3.97 degrees.

Capital Gate of Abu Dhabi

Completed in 2011, the Capital Gate tower in Abu Dhabi was designed to lean eighteen degrees. The building stands next to the Abu Dhabi National Exhibition Centre and contains, among other things, a fine hotel with wonderful views of the harbour. Also known as the leaning tower of Abu Dhabi, the tower is one of the tallest buildings in the city.

Big Ben of London

The building leans 0.26 degrees to the northwest. This is mainly caused by the engineering projects that have been carried out in the ground below it since the late 1800s. The tower, which has been continuously open since it was completed in 1858, has nowhere near the lean of the Tower of Pisa and is still completely safe to enter.

1.The underlined word “hazard” in Paragraph 2 probably means “_____”.

A. danger B. church C. castle D. treasure

2.What can we learn about the Leaning Tower of Pisa?

A. It didn’t lean until ten years after its completion.

B. It took almost two hundred years to complete.

C. It was built on foundations of oak tree trunks.

D. It has been open since it was completed.

3.Which of the following towers leans the most according to the text?

A. The church tower of Suurhusen.

B. The Leaning Tower of Pisa.

C. Capital Gate of Abu Dhabi.

D. Big Ben of London.

4.What would be the best title for the text?

A. The history of towers

B. The art of building a tower
