他没有被邀请参加会议很让我们吃惊,毕竟他是这一行业的重要人物。

28. His not having been invited考查动名词结构作主语的用法。动名词的功能之一就是在句中作主语。其作用等同含非将来时的that引导的名词从句。"没有被邀请"的对象是"他",所以空白处需填上带逻辑主语的动名词复合结构。动名词的复合结构的构成:名词(所有格)/代词宾格/形容词性的物主代词+动名词。其中置于句首的复合结构的逻辑主语只能是名词所有格或形容词性物主代词。

Beauty has always been regarded as something praiseworthy. Almost everyone thinks attractive people are happier and healthier,have better marriages and have more respectable occupations. Personal consultants give them better advice for finding jobs. Even judges are softer on attractive defendants(被告).But in the executive circle, beauty can become a liability.

While attractiveness is a positive factor for a man on his way up the executive ladder,it is

harmful to a woman.

Handsome male executives were thought as having more integrity than plainer men;effort and ability were thought to account for their success.

Attractive female executives were considered to have less integrity than unattractive ones;their success was attributed not to ability but to factors such as luck.

All unattractive women executives were thought to have more integrity and to be more capable than the attractive female executives. Interestingly, though, the rise of the unattractive overnight successes was attributed more to personal relationships and less to ability than that of attractive overnight successes.

Why are attractive women not thought to be able? An attractive woman is thought to be more feminine and an attractive man more masculine(有男子气;)既的)than the less attractive ones. Thus,an attractive woman has an advantage in traditionally female jobs,but an attractive woman in a traditionally masculine position appears to lack the "masculine" qualities required.

This is true even in politics. "When the only clue is how he or she looks,people treat men and women differently," says Anne Bowman,who recently published a study on the effects of attractiveness on political candidates. She asked 125 undergraduate students to rank two groups of photographs, one of men and one of women,in order of attractiveness. The students were told the photographs were of candidates for political offices. They were asked to rank them again,in the order they would vote for them. The results showed that attractive males utterly defeated unattractive men, but the women who had been ranked most attractive invariably received the fewest votes.

Is early childhood education really necessary? Early childhood education primarily focuses on learning through playing to develop the child's physical, sensory, communicational and social development. Early childhood education has become a concern of the government,who pushes poor children to be formally trained before they are old enough for kindergarten.

There are good reasons for the government to push early childhood education. Studies have shown that orphaned children who did not receive good care and education become developmentally delayed

causing failure in school, and even in life. Further studies show that poor children who take part in Head Start programs are more prepared for school,less likely to end up in Special Education classes, and are less likely to receive public help or go to jail.

There are also negative parts to putting a child in formal education programs too early. Time Magazine online explains that "the younger the child,the Jess his chances of catching up with first-grade work". I have personally witnessed many children of my generation who went to Head Start programs become frustrated and bored with school before they finished high school. Yet parents have been sure that the earlier the child starts school,the better off he or she is,so they push to start children earlier.

Actually while early formal education of poor children does show great gains in the early ele?mentary years, studies also show that this head start is really a "false start",as the gains are lost in middle and high school years. It seems that environment is a bigger factor on life, s success than early education. Head Start programs have not achieved its original goal in closing the achievement gap in poor and middle school children. Perhaps it is time to find other ways to close that gap.
