    Should girls go to school only with other girls? Is it better for boys to attend all - boy schools? Educators at school for girls in Washington D. C. believe children in classes of the same sex do better, but Other experts say there is no real evidence to support that idea. They believe there are other more important things that make a school effective.

     Excel Academy is the first all-girl school in Washington, D. C. that is independently operated and supported by taxpayers. It was established in 2007 and opened its doors in 2008. The Excel Academy provides free education to children from families without much money. It serves more that 600 girls from preschool, the youngest children to grade five. Three meals are serves each day. One of its students is 10-yar-oldAnyrech,who attended kindergarten in a classroom with boys. She says boys have different interests from girls. She's now at Excel for the following five years .“They would like to tell me that I can do it .They make me feel like I'm loved ang that I'm the smarter person in the world.”

    Kaye Savage established  the school . She says that when boys and girls are taught  together, the  teachers  teach for the boys. She says boys are a little louder and much more active than the girls，which  makes girls second - class citizens in their awn classrooms and schools. But Galen Sherwin ax the American     Civil   Liberties Union, the ACLU, disagrees. She says the evidence  ,in her words，is  not really there to  support claims that same sex classrooms produce better results. “ Similarities  between boys and girls are much greater and more relevant than any differences. Certainly any differences that exist are not relevant from an educational viewpoint，” Sherwin said.

      Elaine Weiss is an education expert. She believes other considerations besides same sex classes have a bigger effect on children 's  success in school. She says everything that happens in children's early development is important. “ Some of the early gap should be dealt with before Lids get to kindergarten. The classes should be relatively small, so that teachers can have a one - on - one  conversation  and interaction with students. And after - school opportunities should be enriched，” Weiss said.

   Have you ever studied a subject or brainstormed an idea, only to find yourself with pages of information, but no clear view of  how it fits together? This is where Mind Mapping can help you.

   Mind Mapping is a useful technique that helps you learn more effectively, improves the way that you record information, and supports and enhances creative problem solving. By using Mind Maps, you can quickly identify and understand the structure of a subject. You can see the way that pieces of information fit together, as well as recording the raw facts contained in normal notes.    36   , as  they  help your mind recall and review.

   Popularized by Tony Buzan, Mind Maps abandon the list format of conventional note taking．They do this in favor of a two-dimensional structure. A good Mind Map shows the 'shape' of the subject, the relative importance of individual points, and the way in which facts relate to one another. 37   .

1. Write the title of the subject you're exploring in the center of the page, and draw a circle around it.

2. As you come across major subdivisions or subheadings of the topic (or important facts that relate to the subject) draw lines out from this circle. Label these lines with these subdivisions or subheadings.

3. As you "burrow" into (挖掘) the subject and uncover another level of information (further subheadings, or individual facts) belonging to the subheadings, draw these as lines linked to the subheading lines.

4.    38   .

5. As you come across new information, link it in to the Mind Map appropriately.

   39    . Sub-topics and facts will branch off these, like branches  and twigs from the trunk of a tree. You don't need to worry about the structure you produce, as this will evolve of its own accord.

     40  . If you do any form of research or note taking, try experimenting with Mind Maps. You will find them surprisingly effective!

A. More than this, Mind Maps help you remember information

B. Mind Mapping is an extremely effective method of taking notes.

C. They help you to associate ideas and make connections that you might not otherwise make.

D. Then, for individual facts or ideas, draw lines out from the appropriate heading line and label them.

E. A complete Mind Map may have main topic lines radiating in all directions from the center.

F. To draw a Mind Map, follow these steps:

G. When created using colors and images or drawings, a Mind Map can even resemble a work of art!

  Doctors say anger can be an extremely damaging emotion, unless you learn how to deal with it. They warn that anger can lad to heart disease, stomach problems, headaches, emotional problems and possibly cancer.

  Anger is a normal emotion that we all feel from time to time. Some people express anger openly in a calm reasonable way. Some burst with anger, and scream and yell . But others keep their anger inside. They can not or will not express it. This is called repressing anger.

     For years many doctors thought that repressing anger was more dangerous to a person's health than expressing it. They said that when a person is angry, the brain releases the same hormones(荷尔蒙) . They speed the heart rate, raise blood pressure, or sugar into the blood, etc. In general the person feels excited and ready to act.

     Some doctors say that both repressing and expressing anger can be dangerous. They believe that those who express anger violently may be more likely to develop heart disease, and they believe that those who keep their anger inside may face a greater danger of high blood pressure.

     Doctors say the solution is learning how to deal with anger. They say the first step is to admit that you are angry and to recognize the real cause of the anger, then decide if the cause is serious enough to get angry about. If it is, they say, "Do not express your anger while angry. Wait until your anger has cooled down and you are able to express yourself calmly and reasonably."

     Doctors say that a good way to deal with anger is to find humor in the situation that has made you angry. They said that laughter is much healthier than anger.

In the depths of the French Guianese rainforest, there still remain unusual groups of indigenous(土著的) people. Surprisingly, these people live largely by their own laws and their own social customs. And yet, people in this area are in fact French citizens because it has been a colony(殖民地) of the French Republic since 1946. In theory, they should live by the French law. However, their remote locations mean that the French law is often ignored or unknown, thus making them into an interesting area of “lawlessness” in the world.

The lives of these people have finally been recorded thanks to the effects of a Frenchman form Paris called Gin. Gin spent five months in early 2015 exploring the most remote corners of this area, which sits on the edge of the Amazon rainforest, with half its population of only 250,000 living in its capital, Cayenne.

“I have a special love for the French Guianese people. I have worked there on and off for almost ten years,” says Gin. “I’ve been able to keep firm friendships with them. Thus I have been allowed to gain access to their living environment. I don’t see it as a lawless land. But rather I see it as an area of freedom.”

“I wanted to show the audience a photographic record touching upon the uncivilized life,” continues Gin. “I prefer to work in black and white, which allows me to show different specific worlds more clearly.”

His black-and-white pictures present a world almost lost in time. These pictures show people seemingly pushed into a world that they were unprepared for. These local citizens now have to balance their traditional self-supporting hunting lifestyle with the lifestyle offered by the modern French Republic, which brings with it not only necessary state welfare, but also alcoholism, betrayal and even suicide.

24.Why does the author feel surprised about the indigenous people in French Guiana?

  A. They seldom follow the French law.

  B. They often ignore the Guianese law.

C. They are separated from the modern world.

  D. They are both Guianese and French citizens.

25.Gin introduced the special world of the indigenous Guianese as _________.

A. a tour guide                           B. a geographer

C. a film director                         D. a photographer

26.What is Gin’s attitude towards the lives of the indigenous Guianese?

A. Cautious.         B. Doubtful.         C. Uninterested.           D. Appreciative.

27.What does the underlined word “it” in the last paragraph refer to?

A. The modern French lifestyle.

  B. The self-supporting hunting.

C. The uncivilized world.

  D. The French Republic.

Master painter Zhang Daqian (1899-1983) was well known for having a large number of friends and students. Among them, painter Li Qiujun was special.

They got to know each other through Li's elder brother, who was one of Zhang's best friends.

They admired each other's artistic talent and became confidants, which resulted in a romantic relationship.

In 1948, Zhang produced Spring Clouds Amid Autumn Landscape, a mountain-and-water ink painting featuring gongbi (meticulous brushwork), as a gift for Li's 50th birthday.

A year later, Zhang permanently departed from the mainland, and traveled and exhibited around the world before settling down in Taipei in 1976.

After leaving the mainland, he often said that he missed Li, who died in Shanghai in 1973.

Spring Clouds Amid Autumn Landscape will be auctioned in Hong Kong on Oct 4.

The painting not only marks a friendship between the two painters, but it deserves special attention because it shows Zhang at the top of his game as he sought to master the mountain-and-water style, according to C.K. Cheung, head of Sotheby's Chinese painting department.

Sotheby's will auction the work at its major autumn sale, which runs from Oct 1 to 5.

Cheung says the painting's composition and Zhang's attention to details reflect his incorporation of traditional touches, especially from Song Dynasty (960-1279) paintings, while also developing his own style.

21. The underlined word “confidants” in paragraph 3 probably means ____.

   A. enemies        B. colleges         C. friends        D. painters

22. How old was Li Qiujun when she died?

Some people are like homing pigeons; Drop them off anywhere. and they’ll find their way around. Other people. through, can’t tell holding a map upside down. Are the directionally challenged just bad learners?

Not all of your navigational（导航的）skills are learned. Research shows that your sense of direction is innate. An innate ability is something you are born with. Your brain has special navigational neurons--head-direction cells, place cells, and grid cells（网格细胞）--and they help program your inside compass when you’re just a baby.

In 2010. scientists carried out an experiment to study baby rates’    activity in their brains. Although the rats were newborns. the researchers discovered that their head-direction cells(which help them recognize the direction they’re facing) were fully grown and developed. The rats. it seemed. were born with a sense of direction. And they hadn’t even opened their eyes yet!

Humans. of course, are not rats. But the hippocampus --the brain we use for navigation--is similar in most mammals. If the rat’s compass develops this way. then it’s likely a human’s compass does, too.

If we’re born with a sense of direction. then why are some people so good at getting lost? The scientists found that the two other cells---place and grid cells--developed within the first month. Place cells are thought to help us form a map in our mind. while gird cells help us navigate new and unfamiliar places. The two cells work together, and that’s where the trouble might be.

People who took part in a 2013 study played a video game that required them to travel quickly between different places. Monitoring their brains. the scientists. According to researcher Michael Kahana, differences in how gird cells work may help explain why some people have a better sense of direction than others.

    A. Place cells let us know how to read a map

    B. Grid cells help us reach the place we are going to

    C. They help us use a compass when we lose our way

    D. Place and grid cells grow later than head-direction cells

34. Why are some people so good at getting lost?

    A. They can’t remember landmarks    

    B. Their grid cells can’t work very well

Now it occurred to  70  (he)that his farm had much potential and that the death of the cow was a bit of luck.

A new study, conducted by British company Mindlab International, has found that listening to music at work increases accuracy and speed, The Telegraph reported. Perhaps, some parents disagree with this idea, saying, "Switch off the music and concentrate!" Well, if that's the case with your parents, you might now be able to convince them that you have science on your side.
    The company gave 26 participants a series of different tasks for five days in a row, including spell checking, mathematical word problems, data entry, and abstract reasoning. The participants completed these tasks while listening to music or no music at all.
    The results showed that while music was playing, 88% of participants produced their most accurate test results and 81% completed their fastest work. David Lewis, chairman of Mindlab International, told The Telegraph, "Music is a very powerful management tool if you want to increase not only the efficiency of your workforce but also their emotional state... they are going to become more positive about the work."
     However, you may have a list of your favorite songs, but not all kinds of music match all homework. For maths or other subjects involving numbers or attention to detail, you should listen to classical music, the study found. In the study, pop music enabled participants to complete their tasks 58% faster than when listening to no music at all. If you are reviewing your English writing, pop music is the best choice, as it is the best kind for spell checking. It cut mistakes by 14%, compared to listening to no music. After finishing your homework, do you often take time to check your answers? Maybe, some dance music is suitable for you.
32．Which of the following can be the best title for the passage?
    A. Music helps us to learn    

B. We cannot live without music

 Around the world, people are satisfying their thirst with bottled water. In the past 10 years, sales in Asia and South America have greatly increased. In 2007, people in the United States drank more than 8 billion gallons of bottled water. The United States now uses up the most bottled water in the world, followed by Mexico, China, and Brazil. Compared to sugary soft drinks, this seems a healthy choice. But is it a wise one?

A single-serve water bottle offers great convenience. It can be bought almost anywhere, carried around for a while, and then thrown away. The influence of bottled water on the environment, however, is surprising. Around 2.7 million tons of plastic are turned into disposable bottles each year. This requires large quantities of crude oil(原油) and water. It also produces greenhouse gases. Although the bottles can be recycled, only a small part of them are. The United States only recycles about 23 percent. The rest are part of a growing solid waste problem.

Convenience isn’t the only reason for bottled water’s rise in popularity. Words like “pure”, together with images of mountains or glaciers(冰川), are used to market bottled water. Many people believe that it must be cleaner and more healthful than tap water from public water systems. But this is a wrong idea. In developed nations such as the United States and in Europe, rules that ensure safe water are often stricter for tap than for bottled water.

It may come as a surprise that as much as 40 percent of the water bottled in the United States starts out as tap water. Before bottling, some companies filter it, and they might add minerals for taste.

Despite its low origins, bottled water can cost anywhere from 240 to 10,000 times more per gallon than tap water. Is the bottle ever better?

Bottled water has spread around the world. While it is an important source of safe drinking water, we should not lose sight of a more environmentally friendly source: the water that comes out of our taps.

41. What’s the author’s purpose in Paragraph 1?

A. To correct some wrong views on bottled water.                                  

B. To explain which countries lead in bottled water use.

C. To show that bottled water is popular all over the world.       

D. To convince readers that bottled water is better than sugary soft drinks.

42. According to the text, what is the main problem with bottled water?

A. The poor quality of the water sources.                 

B. The waste associated with bottled water.

C. The difficulty in transporting the bottles.

D. The amount of water required to fill the bottles.             

43. Why are words like “pure” used for selling bottled water?

A. To meet government’s laws.

B. To show values of the buyers.

C. To present scientific evidence.

D. To influence people’s choices.

44. What do we know about bottled water in the United States?

A. It comes from glaciers.       

B. It is not so popular as soft drinks.       

C. Around 23 percent of it is recycled each year.    

D. It is usually under less tight control than tap water.

You might make a disgusted face when you notice that the person waiting in their car at the red light next to you is picking their nose,but admit it,you do it too.And while it might be the natural option when there isn't a box of tissues around,it can be bad for you.The main reasons people feel the need to pick their nose is to clear it of dried liquid,stop an itch（痒）,or just because it feels good.Boogers（鼻屎）form when dried liquid and cilia,the tiny hairs that line the nostrils（鼻孔）,trap the dust,dirt,and other things.When boogers build up in your nose,it can be uncomfortable,and sometimes just blowing into a tissue doesn't do the trick.

Otolaryngologist Erich P.Voigt,MD,told Business Insider that picking your nose can cause injuries and bleeding within your nostrils.That's not terribly damaging,but when the bacteria from your hands get into your body,it can cause a cold and flu.So doctors strongly suggest not picking the nose.

If dry winter air is causing the dirty liquid to harden in your nostrils,making you want to pick,consider damping the air at home,or taking a steam shower to soften things up in there.

Children,who are most famous for having a finger up their nose,sometimes don't realize how much injury they're causing,and sometimes it.can lead to nose bleeds.

So,next time you go to pick your nose,think about how many bacteria are on your hands and in your boogers, and maybe reach for a tissue instead.Even if you 're alone,and not waiting for the light to turn green,please,use a tissue.
