6.A new report says promising children money to pass exams does not help exam grades.The report says parents could be wasting their money by using cash to get their kids to study more.However,the promise of a trip somewhere nice could encourage students to try harder and do better at school.Researchers from the University of Bristol (in England) and the University of Chicago (in the USA) looked at how promises of cash and tickets to events affected students'studying and learning.Over 10,000pupils took part in the research throughout the year 2012.There was an improvement in classwork and homework,but this did not result in better test scores.Lead researcher Dr Simon Burgess suggested the research looked at the wrong areas.He said it had not looked at the things that really got students to increase their effort.He added that:"Clearly,some pupils have a lot of goals and believe that education is a way of getting what they want out of life,but there are kids who think that working hard doesn't make a difference."He said these children think exam success is"all in your genes"because of their family background.Education expert Dr Kevan Collins said good teachers were better than promises of rewards to get children to study,especially for children from low-income families.He wrote:"What really makes the difference is how students are taught."

Homonym:a word that has the same spelling and the same pronunciation as another world,but a different meaning Same spelling,different meaning Imagine,then a situation where two words are spelt and pronounced exactly the same way,but have completely different meanings.Welcome to the world of homonyms.Take,for example,the word‘fail'---it can be a kind of festival,and adjective to describe the color of your hair or how you should play a game. Don't take it literally So how do you know which meaning someone is referring to?---You don't,except by the context.Obviously,if someone asks you to‘give them a hand',they don't want you to remove what is at the end of your arm. What's in a name? Sometimes even the context doesn't help much---the result can be amusing.These sentences play with the double meaning of a noun: I used to be a banker,but I lost interest. Have you heard about the cross-eyed teacher who couldn't control his pupils? A small boy swallowed some coins and had to go to hospital.When his grandmother phoned to ask how he was,the nurse said:‘No change yet'. More ambiguity And these examples play with the different meanings of a verb: I wondered why the ball was getting bigger.Then it hit me. No one knew she had a dental implant until it came out in a conversation. A boiled egg in the morning is hard to beat. Double trouble And sometimes a word can be a noun and a verb,but have different meanings.Can you work this one out? Time flies like an arrow.Fruit flies like a banana. If you like these homonyms,you will be pleased to know that English has plenty more! Explanations of jokes in the text I used to be banker,but I lost interest.(I became bored with the job/I lost money) Have you heard about the cross-eyed teacher who couldn't control his pupils?(students/parts of his eyes) A small boy swallowed some coins and had to go to hospital.When his grandmother phoned to ask how he was,the nurse said:‘No change yet'.(no difference in the situation/no money) I wondered why the ball was getting bigger.Then it hit me.(the ball hit me/I suddenly realized) No one knew she had a dental implant until it came out in a conversation.(became known/fell out) A boiled egg in the morning is hard to beat.(can't be better/difficult to mix with a fork) Time flies like an arrow.(time goes quickly) Fruit flies like a banana.(insects enjoy eating fuit.) |
