“Educational researchers, political scientists and economists are increasingly interested in the characteristics and skills that parents, teachers and schools should foster in children to increase chances of success later in life,” said lead author Marion Spengler, PhD of the University of Tubingen.” Our research found that specific behaviors in high school have long-lasting effects for one’s later life.”

Spengler and her co-authors analyzed data collected by the American Institutes for Research from 346, 660 U. S. high school students in 1960, along with follow-up data from 81,912 of those students 11 years later and 1,952 of them 50 years later. The initial high school phase measured a variety of student behaviors and attitudes as well as personality characteristics, cognitive abilities, parental socioeconomic status and demographic(人口统计的)factors. The follow-up surveys measured overall educational attainment, income and occupational prestige(声望).

Being a responsible student, showing an interest in school and having fewer problems with reading and writing were all significantly associated with greater educational attainment and finding a more prestigious job both 11 years and 50 years after high school. These factors were also all associated with higher income at the 50-year mark. Most effects remained even when researchers controlled parental socioeconomic status, cognitive aibility and other broad personality characteristics such as conscientiousness.

While the findings weren’t necessarily surprising, Spengler noted how reliably specific behaviors people showed in school were able to predict later success.

Further analysis of the data suggested that much of the effect could be explained by overall educational achievements, according to Spengler.

“Student characteristics and behaviors were rewarded in high school and led to higher educational attainment, which in turn was related to greater occupational prestige and income later in life,” she said. “This study highlights the possibility that certain behaviors at crucial periods could have long-term consequences for a person’s life.”

1.What’s the finding of Marion Spengler’s research?

A. Teachers play a decisive role in students’ later success

B. Personality characteristics are more important than academic performances

C. Higher educational attainment has little to do with occupational prestige

D. Behaviors in the high school should be highly stressed.

2.Which is TRUE about the research?

A. The research was conducted among totally different people during different periods

B. The research was based on the data collected from 1960 to 2010

C. More people were involved in the follow-up surveys

D. The initial high school phase measured attitudes only

3.What is likely to contribute to later success according to the research?

A. Parental socioeconomic status

B. Overall educational achievements

C. Cognitive ability

D. Hard work

4.Why did the researchers control some factors like parental socioeconomic status?

A. To avoid the previous mistakes

B. To highlight the effects of certain specific behaviors

C. To draw an immediate conclusion

D. To hid some negative findings

Recently a research was carried out in London，Birmingham and Leeds among teachers from different schools about student behavior management.

The majority of teachers said that behavior management is the biggest challenge they face in teaching.They are against the idea of a “one size fits all” approach to behavior management and believe that how they deal with behavior depends on their analysis of what is driving the behavior.Many teachers make the analysis in three steps.First，observe what the student is doing；then look into what drives the behavior and finally identify what is the real problem to deal with，e.g.attention seeking or being unable to follow the lessons etc..However，many teachers felt it sometimes difficult as schools did not always effectively communicate the necessary information about the students for them to do it.

The behaviors are generally divided into low，mid and high level.Teachers felt low and high level behavior was easy to analyze and deal with because low level behavior was seen as the least serious of a problem；and there is clear structure in place for dealing with high level behavior. However，there is no clear structure and effective ways to address mid­level behavior，which may cause a sense of failure in some teachers.

Teachers also felt that the laws to protect pupils have resulted in a sense of teachers having fewer rights to manage behavior.In case they deal with or be seen to deal with behavior wrongly or improperly，the results could be very serious：damage the child or teacher，especially their career.

1.What does the passage mainly talk about?

A．Ways to deal with student behavior problems.

B．Importance to manage student behavior.

C．Three levels of student behavior.

D．Teachers’ difficulties in managing student behavior.

2.Why is it sometimes difficult to analyze student behavior?

A．Most of the students refuse to talk to teachers about it.

B．Some student behaviors are not easy to notice.

C．Teachers do not have enough information about the students.

D．Teachers tend to deal with different problems in the same way.

3.Which of the following is NOT true?

A．Most teachers believe behavior management is their biggest challenge.

B．Teachers feel high level behavior is the most difficult to deal with.

C．There is no clear structure in place to deal with mid­level behavior.

D．Some students behave badly only to attract others’ attention.

4.What can be inferred from the passage?

A．A teacher risks losing the job if he/she manages student behavior improperly.

B．Teachers in England are not willing to manage student behaviors.

C．English laws forbid teachers punishing their students for their behaviors.

D．The laws to protect children in England are going to be changed.

More and more corporations are taking an interest in corporate social responsibility (CSR). CSR is made up of three broad layers. The most basic is traditional corporate charity work. Companies typically spend about 1% of pre-tax profits on worthy projects. But many feel that simply writing cheques to charities is no longer enough. In some companies, shareholders want to know that their money is being put to good use, and employees want to be actively involved in good works.

Money alone is not the answer when companies come under attack for their behavior. Hence the second layer of CSR, which is a branch of risk management. Starting in the 1980s, with environmental disasters such as the explosion at Bhopal and the Exxon Valdez oil spill, industry after industry has suffered blows to its reputation.

So, companies often responded by trying to manage the risks. They talk to non-governmental organisations (NGOs) and to governments, create codes of conduct（行为准则) and devote themselves to more transparency（透明）in their operations. Increasingly, too. they, along with their competitors, set common rules to spread risks.

All this is largely defensive, but there are also opportunities for those that get ahead of the game. The emphasis on opportunity is the third layer of CSR: the idea that it can help to create value. If approached in a strategic way, CSR could become part of a company's competitive advantage. That is just the sort of thing chief executives like to hear. The idea of "doing well by doing good" has become popular.

Nevertheless, the business of trying to be good is bringing difficult questions to executives. Can you measure CSR performance? Should you be cooperating with NGOs and you’re your competitors? Is there any really competitive advantage to be had from a green strategy?

Corporate social responsibility is now seen as a mainstream. Big companies want to tell the world about their good citizenship with their devotion to social responsibilities. Done badly, CSR is often just window-dressing and can be positively harmful. Done well, though, it is not some separate activity that companies do on the side, a corner of corporate life reserved for virtue（美德）：it is just good business.

(Note: Answer the questions or complete the statements in NO MORE THAN TEN WORDS)

1.Both _________ in some companies find it no longer enough to simply donate money to charities.

2.Give one example of the defensive measures of risk management according to the passage.

3.With the emphasis on opportunity, the third layer of CSR is meant to_________.

4.According to the passage, "good business" (paragraph 6) means that corporations ________ while making profits.
