Questions 26 to 30 are based on the following passage: THE CLASSROOM is a mans world, where boys get two thirds of the teachers attention — even when they are in a minority— taunt (辱罵 ) the girls without punishment, and receive praise for sloppy work that would not be tolerated from girls. They are accustomed to being teachers pets, and if girls get anything like equal treatment, they will protest eagerly and even wreck lessons. These claims are made in a book out this week, written by Dale Spender, a lecturer at the London University Institute of Education. She argues that disc rimination against girls is so deeply in co educational schools that single sex classes are the only answer. Her case is based on tape recordings of her own and other teachers lessons. Many of them, like Spender, had deliberately set out to give girls a fair chance. “ Sometimes,” says Spender, “ I have even thought I have gone too far and have spent more time with the girls than the boys.” The tapes proved otherwise. In 10 taped lessons (in secondary school and college), Spender never gave the girls more than 42 per cent of her attention (the average was 38 percent) and never gave the boys less than 58 percent. There were similar results for other teachers, both male and female. In other words, when teachers give girls more than a third of their time, they feel that they are cheating the boys of their rightful share. And so do the boys themselves. “ She always asks the girls all the questions,” said one boy in a classroom where 34 per cent of the teachers time was allocate d to girls. “ She doesnt like boys, and just listens to the girls.” said a boy in another class, where his sex got 63 per cent of teacher attention. Boys regarded two thirds of the teachers time as a fair deal — and when they got less they caused trouble in class and even plained to higher authority. “ Its important to keep their attention,” said one teacher, “ Otherwise, they play you up something awful.” Spender concludes that, in mixed classes, if the girls are as boisterous and pushy as the boys, they are considered “ unladylike” , if they are docile and quiet, they are ignored. 26. If boys are better treated in class, ____ would be better. A) single sex classes and co educational classes B) co educational classes C) single sex classes D) None of the above 27. Dale Spender obtained the evidence for her claims by ____ . A) her own lessons in secondary school and college B) the other teachers tape recordings C) both male and female teachers D) tape recordings of her own and other teachers lessons 28.

C) They will play up the teacher something awful. D) They will feel they are cheated by teachers. 29. The word “ boisterous” in the last paragraph probably means ____. A) rough B) brave C)troublesome D) emotional 30. The best title for this passage would be ____. A) boys are teachers pets B) boys do better in co educational classes C) single sex classes are better than co eduationed classes D) girls do better than boys Questions 31 to 35 are based on the following passage: Gestures arent the only area in which the unwary traveler can get tripped up. Foreign cultures adhere to different business customs and behavior. For example: Caffeine junkies should restrain themselves in the Middle East.“ Three cups of tea or coffee is usually the polite limit in offices and during social calls,” counsels “ Travel Pak, ” a free publication of Alia, the Royal Jordanian Airline. “ But if your host keeps going, you also may continue sipping. If youve had your fill, give your empty cup a quick twist a sort of wiggle— as you hand it back. That means “ No more, thank you.” Middle East visitors also should not be surprised “ if others barge right into the office in the middle of your conversation with the person you are seeing,” notes “ Travel Pak.” An old Arab custom calls for keeping an “ open office.” The British, however, consider it impolite to interrupt a visitor, even after all business has bee
