While both Europe and the United States of America are considered the Western world, it's good to know there are some differences in culture. If you

are considering moving to a European country, you will find the information below helpful as you plan your move.

One cultural difference is how the countries perceive(理解，认为)time and space. For example, a house in the United States that is 200 years old would be considered ancient. This is probably because America is a fairly young country. However, in Europe, something would not be considered ancient unless it was at least 2,000 years old. However, perception of dis?tance seems to be the opposite. While Europeans would consider 100 kilome?tres a long way to drive, Americans would not think twice. This could be due to the fact that Europe is smaller and more heavily populated. In fact, the United States is over twice the size of Europe.

Cars are another factor that differs greatly between Europe and the United States. American automobiles usually have automatic transmissions(自动变速器)while European cars generally have manual gears(手动变速器). European automobiles are smaller and more round-shaped, while American cars are larger and more square-shaped. Trucks and limousines(豪华轿车)are vehicles that Americans enjoy. In Europe, however, these types of vehicles are hardly seen, as they prefer smaller cars due to parking and traffic congestion.

The view of education is another cultural difference between the European countries and the United States. In America? parents may save for many years and even go into debt to pay for their children to attend college. Most schools and universities in Europe, however, are free of tuition. In fact, children are expected to attend college there.

At a primary school in a small town in the east of South Carolina, second-grade teachers Garneau and Lynne are convinced that separating elementary-age boys and girls produces immediate academic improve?ment in both genders (性别).

David Chadwell, South Carolina's expert of single gender education says, "Boys and girls learn, hear and respond to their surroundings differently. We can teach boys and girls based on what we now know.，，

Male and female eyes are not organized in the same way, he explains. The organization of the male eye makes it sensitive to motion and direction. "Boys under?stand the world as objects moving through space, " he says.

The male eye is also drawn to cooler colours like silver and black. It's no accident that boys tend to create pictures of moving objects instead of drawing the happy-colourful family, like girls do in their classes.

The female eye, on the other hand, is drawn to warmer colours like red, yellow and orange. To attract girls, Chadwell says, the teacher doesn't need to move as much as in boy's class. Using descriptive phrases and lots of colours in presentations or on the blackboard gets their attention.

Boys and girls also hear differently. "When some?one speaks in a loud tone, girls understand it as yelling, ，，Chadwell says. "They think you're mad and can shut down. " Girls are more sensitive to sounds. He advises girls' teachers to watch the tone of their voices. Boys' teachers should sound more forceful, even excited.

A boy's nervous system causes him to be more cau?tious when he is standing, moving, and the room tem?perature is around 69 degrees Fahrenheit. Stress in boys, he says, tends to increase blood flow to their brains ， a process that helps them stay focused. Girls are more focused when seated in a warmer room around 75 degrees Fahrenheit. Girls also respond to stress differ?ently. When exposed to threat and conflict, blood goes to their guts (肠道)，leaving them feeling nervous or anxious.

These differences can be applied in the classroom, Chadwell adds. " Single gender programmes are about making the best use of the learning." 1. What is David Chadwell's attitude towards separating

elementary-age boys and girls while learning?

A. Supportive. B. Worried.

C. Concerned. D. Uninterested.

2. To attract boys in a class, the teacher .

A. must have a moving object in this hand

B. needs to wear clothes in a warm colour

C. has to speak politely

D. had better move constantly while teaching

3. Which of the following shows the organization of the passage?

(1 = Paragraph 1 2=Paragraph 2 3 = Paragraph 3 …8=Paragraph 8)

4. Which of the following students is most likely to be focused?

A. A boy sitting in a warm room.

B. A standing boy who is faced with stress.

C. A girl standing in a cold room.

D. A girl who is facing a lot of pressure.
