      Do you have any strong opinion on co-educational or single-sex schools?

      A supporter of co-educational schools would probably say that schools should be like the societies they belong to .In Hong Kong , men and women mix socially on a day-to-day basis .In many fields men are even likely to have female bosses .It is ,therefore, desirable that boys and girls grow up together ,go to school together ,and prepare themselves for a society that does not value sexual separation.

     Some would go on to argue further that growing up with members of the opposite sex is important for personal development .Regular contact (接触)can remove the strange ideas about the opposite-sex and lead to more natural relationships .Single-sex conditions are seen as leading to more extreme opinions, and possibly even as encouraging homosexuality(同性恋),though there is no proof that this is the case.

     Those who are against coeducation often also fix their attention on the sexual side .Some parents fear that close contact with members of the opposite sex is dangerous for teenagers .They want their children to be attentive to their studies .Such parents feel uncomfortable with modern ways and the free mixing of the sexes.

     A stronger argument comes from research into school results .Girls grow up earlier than boys ,tend to be more orderly and are likely to be better at languages .In a mixed class ,boys who might do well in a single-sex class become discouraged and take on the rule of troublemaker .Certainly in the UK this situation has greatly alarmed (惊动)the government for it to be encouraging co-educational schools to have some single-sex classes .In the UK the best schools are all single-sex ,strongly suggesting that co-education is not the best answer .This may ,however ,not be as simple as it looks .It may simply be that the famous old schools that attract the best students happen to be single-sex ,rather than that being single-sex makes them better schools.

72.In the third paragraph ,by saying “though there is no proof that this is the case” ,the writer means that___

    A.students in single-sex schools will certainly become homosexual

    B.students in co-educational schools cannot have extreme opinions

    C.students in co-educational schools are likely to be homosexual

    D.single-sex school conditions may or may not have effects on the students.

73.All the following arguments can be found in the passage EXCEPT that       .

    A.co-education can produce a society-like situation

    B.co-educational schools may lead to love affairs between boys and girls

    C.co-education will help develop a better understanding about the opposite sex

    D.co-education can make boys perform well in mixed classes

74.Alarmed by the situation ,the UK government encourages        .

A.co-education                                                       

B.single-sex education

    C.single-sex classes in co-educational schools       

    D.co-educational classes in single-sex schools

75.At the end of the passage the writer suggests that        .

    A.single-sex schools are the best schools in the UK

    B.being single-sex does not necessarily make a school better

    C.co-educational schools are better for both sexes in personal development

Would you eat a ready meal from the fridge rather than cook from scratch? Have you been doing internet shopping rather than going to the stores? What can't you be bothered to do?

A study into how lazy British people are has found more than half of adults are so lazy they'd catch the lift rather than climb two flights of stairs.

Just over 2000 people were quizzed by independent researchers at Nuffield Health, Britain's largest health charity. The results were astonishing.

About one in six people surveyed said if their remote control was broken, they would continue watching the same channel rather than get up.

More than one third of those questioned said they would not run to catch a bus. Worryingly, of the 654 respondents with children, 64% said they were often too tired to play with them.

This led the report to conclude that it's no wonder that one in six children in the UK are classified as obese (very fat) before they start school.

Dr Sarah Dauncey, medical director of Nuffield Health, said: "People need to get fitter, not just for their own sake, but for the sake of their families, friends and evidently their pets too. Ks5u

"If we don't start to take control of this problem, a whole generation will become too unfit to perform even the most rudimentary of tasks."

And Scotland's largest city, Glasgow, was shamed as the most inactive city in the UK, with 75% surveyed admitting they do not get enough exercise, followed closely by Birmingham and Southampton, both with 67%.

The results cause serious challenges for the National Health Service, where obesity-related illnesses such as heart disease and cancer have been on a steady increase for the past 40 years and are costing billions of pounds every year.   

What causes children in the UK to be obese?  

A. Eating ready meal    B. Watching TV

C. Doing Internet shopping  D. Being lazy

What can be inferred from the passage?  

A. British people are too lazy to do anything.

B. Internet shopping will do harm to your health.

C. Many people would not run to catch a bus in Britain.

D. People should be more active and take regular exercise to keep fit.

Which of the following is Not true according to the passage?  

A. One sixth of British people use remote control when watching TV.

B. People will benefit not only themselves but their families by getting fit.

C. Fatness can cause diseases such as heart disease and cancer.

D. More people get obesity-related illnesses now than 40 years ago.

What does the underlined word rudimentary most probably mean?

A. basic    B. serious  C. vital    D. hard

All the following are among the most lazy cities in the UK except         

A. Glasgow  B. Birmingham   C. Nuffield D. Southampton

       A study into how lazy British people are has found more than half of the adults are so idle (懒散的) that they'd catch the lift rather than climb two flights of stairs.

       Just over 2000 people were quizzed by independent researchers at Nuffield Health, Britain's largest health center. The results were extremely surprising.

       About one in six people questioned said if their remote control was broken, they would continue watching the same channel rather than get up.

       “If we don't start to take control of this problem, a whole generation will become too unfit to perform even the most fundamental tasks.”

       And Scotland's largest city, Glasgow, was shamed as the most idle city in the UK, with 75% questioned admitting they do not get enough exercise, followed closely by Birmingham and Southampton, both with 67%.
