Twenty years ago, most experts believed that differences in how boys and girls behaved were mainly due to differences in how they were treated by their parents, teachers, and friends. It’s hard to cling to that belief today. Recent research has shown that there are biological differences between boys and girls. Understanding these differences is important in raising and educating children.

For example, girls are born with more sensitive hearing than boys, and the difference increases as kids grow up. So when a grown man speaks to a girl in what he thinks is a normal voice, she may hear it as yelling. Conversely (反过来), boys who appear to be inattentive in class may just be sitting too far away too hear the teacher.

Likewise, girls are better in their expression of feelings. Studies reveal that negative emotions are seated in an area of the brain called the amygdala. Girls develop all early connection between this area and the cerebral cortex (大脑皮层), enabling them to talk about their feelings. In boys these links develop later. So if you ask a troubled adolescent boy to tell you what his feelings are, he often cannot say much.

Dr. Sax, an advocate of single-sex education, points out that keeping boys and girls separate in the classroom has yielded striking educational, social, and interpersonal benefits. Therefore, parents and teachers should try to recognize, understand, and make use of the biological differences that make a girl a girl, and a boy a boy.

1.What is the main idea of the passage?

A. Boys tend to pay less attention in class than girls.

B. Girls are better than boys in their ability to detect sounds.

C. Single-sex schools are not good because they keep boys and girls separate.

D. Boys and girls behave differently because of biological differences.

2.Why do girls express negative feelings better than boys?

A. Girls are more emotional than boys.

B. The links between certain parts of the brain develop earlier in girls than in boys.

C. The amygdala is located in different areas of the brain for boys and girls.

D. Girls have more brain cells than boys.

3.Which of the following does the author believe?

A. Boys and girls should be educated in different ways.

B. Girls need more training in communication.

C. Parents should pay more attention to boys.

D. Sex differences should be ignored in education。

4.What does the phase “cling to” in the first paragraph mean?

A. evaluate　　 B. abandon

C. maintain　　 D. challenge

Three years ago I failed a important exam in my life and became a student in an ordinary school. Disappointing as I felt at the shabby campus and the poorly-equipped classroom, but I found the teachers patient and considerate. Besides, I enjoyed the friendly atmosphere on class. I decided to make best of it. I work hard and got along well with my teachers and classmates. Whenever I had difficulties, they were seldom available. Soon, I became one of the top student in my class, which greatly increased my confident and got me motivated.

My experience tells me that it is not what you are given but how you make use of it which determines who you are.

Unemployment will certainly be in double-digits next year--and may remain there for some time. And for every person who __1_ as unemployed in the Bureau of Labor Statistics’ household survey, you can bet there’s another either too __2__ to look for work or working part time who’d rather have a full-time job or else taking home less pay than before. And there’s yet another person who’s more fearful that he or she will be the __3__ to lose a job.

__4__, 10 percent unemployment really means 20 percent underemployment or anxious employment, all of which translates __5__ into late payments on mortgages, credit cards, auto and student loans, and loss of health insurance. It also means sleeplessness for tens of millions of Americans, and, of course, __6__ purchases.

Unemployment of this magnitude and duration also translates into ugly __7__, because fear and anxiety are __8__ grounds for the political resentment against immigrants, blacks, the poor, government leaders, business leaders, Jews and other easy _9__. It’s already started. Next year is a mid-term election. Be prepared for worse.

So why is unemployment and underemployment so high? And why is it _10__ to remain high for some time?

My grandfather died more than twenty-five years ago. I was fifteen. He was kind, strong, fair, and very funny. When I was a young musician, he was my biggest fan. I played my violin for him when he visited, and he loved everything, but each time he had one request. “Could you play ‘Amazing Grace’?” he asked, full of hope and with a twinkle in his eye, because he knew my answer was always, “I don’t know that one!” We went through this routine at every major holiday, and I always figured I’d have time to learn it for him later.

About the time I entered high school and started guitar, Grandpa got cancer. The last time I saw him alive was Thanksgiving weekend in 1985. My mom warned us that Grandpa didn’t look the same anymore and that we should prepare ourselves. For a moment I didn’t recognize him. He looked so small among all the white sheets. We had all gathered in Ohio for the holiday, and I’m sure we all knew we were there to say good-bye. I can see now that Grandpa held on long enough to see us each one more time. I remember how we ate in the dining room and laughed and talked while Grandpa rested in his hospital bed. I wonder if it was sad for him to be alone with our voices and laughter. Knowing Grandpa, he was probably content.

The next morning I found my moment alone with him. I pulled out my guitar, tuned to his appreciative gaze, and finally played for him “Amazing Grace.” I had worked on it for weeks, knowing it never mattered whether I actually played it well and choosing not to believe as I played that it was my last concert for my biggest fan. The cancer had stolen his smile, but I saw joy in his eyes. He held my hand afterward, and I knew I had done something important.

I argued with people all through college about my music major. I was told by strangers that music wouldn’t make me any money and it wasn’t useful like being a doctor. But I know firsthand that with music I was able to give my grandpa something at a point when no one else could.

1.At first the author didn’t play ‘Amazing Grace’ for Grandpa because _________.

A she hadn’t learned it yet

B. she found it difficult to play

C. she disliked playing it.

D. her grandfather was just joking.

2.From the last sentence in Paragraph 2 we can infer that ____________.

A. Grandpa treasured love from family

B. Grandpa was used to living alone

C. Grandpa was too weak to feel anything

D. Grandpa was optimistic about his health

3.When the author finally played “Amazing Grace” for Grandpa, ____________.

A. she made him smile joyfully

B. she knew she must play it well

C. she brought him love and comfort

D. she believed she could play it many times for him.

4.What is the author’s attitude toward her music major?

A. Disapproving　　 　 B. Regretful

C. Doubtful　　 　 　　 D. Positive

5.Which of the following was true according to the passage?

A. The author was 15 when she wrote the article.

B. The author has a great affection for her grandfather.

C. The author prefers to be a doctor rather than a musician.

D. The author is confident that music will make her much money.
