　　Movie magic can defy reality, but actors are inescapably human．They grow and change, and don't necessarily change for the better．

　　Harry Potter actors, who are now saying their final goodbyes to their roles, have all become fully-fledged(成熟的)grown-ups, worlds apart from the little kids who began the Hogwarts' adventures in 2001．

　　While many fans feel sad that the magical franhise is coming to an end, some feel even sadder to dee how much the actors have changed over the years．

　　"Daniel Radciffe(who plays Harry Potter)went from being a really cute kid to a thin, pale-looking guy,"daid Filipino internet User Lealuvy．"I kind of wish he stayed a kid forever．"

　　Radcliffe himself doesn't seem to be bothered by his change of appearance．In an interview with GQ magazine last week, he teased himself："If people find me sexy or cool, it's because they like short, little, nerdy guys．And we do have our niche(合适的职业)．"

　　Meanwhile, actors growing up to be handsome have their headaches．

　　Harry Melling, who played Potter's cousin Dudley Dursley, told The Telegraph that he was almost recast for Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows when producers discovered he' d lost a lot of weight he had as a kid．He was too thin for the part．

　　"They(the producers)did this double take, 'Oh my God, we are going to have to do something', and I felt guilty," said Meiling．

　　Aside from changes in looks, the gradual personality change of child stars is another big concern of audience and producers．

　　Miley Cyrus began her career at 13 in Disney's hit TV series Hannah Montana．

　　When Cyrus decided to show her adult personality by releasing "sexy" photos, people began to get uneasy about her．Reports said that furious Disney bosses were considering replacing Cyrus with a more clean-cut teen star．

　　Cyrus finally kept her role after public apologies．But some parents banned their children watching the show．

　　"My daughter has been banned from watching the show," supermodel Cindy Crawford told Showbiz Spy．"I really don't think Miley Cyrus is much of a role model for my kid．"

　　Do you believe that boys learn more from men and girls learn more from women?That’s the result of a study by Thomas Dee, a professor in America．

　　Although some support his idea, many leading education experts don’t agree with his conclusion．But Dee says his research supports his point that gender(性别)matters in learning．

　　However, Dee warns against drawing fast conclusions based on his work．He is not encouraging single-sex education, or any other policy．Rather, he hopes his work will bring more research into gender’s effect．

　　Dee’s study is based on a national investigation of nearly 25,000 eighth-graders that was made by the Education Department．He examined test scores．Dee found that having a female teacher instead of a male teacher raised the achievement of girls and lowered that of boys in science, social studies and English．It is also true the other way around．The study found changing teachers actually could narrow achievement gaps between boys and girls, but one gender would gain at the expense of the other．

　　Dee also thinks that gender influences attitudes．For instance, with a female teacher, boys were more likely to be seen as disruptive, while girls were less likely to be considered inattentive or disorderly．In a class taught by a man, girls were more likely to say the subject was not useful for their future．They were less likely to look forward to the class or to ask questions．

　　“The data, as he presents, is far from convincing．I don’t think there are many parents or students, looking back over their educational careers, who haven’t been inspired by a teacher of the opposite sex．”said Marcia Greenberger, co-president of the National Women’s Law Center, which works to advance the progress of women．

Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?
[　　]
A．	Dee’s idea that teacher’s gender affects learning is widely accepted．
B．	In Dee’s opinion, a teacher of the opposite gender helps students learn better．
C．	Marcia agrees that a teacher of the opposite sex discourages students’ learning．
D．	Dee thinks that a teacher of the same gender improves students’ learning．
