Male teachers are more likely to improve pupils self-esteem and are judged by pupils to be more fair, according to a study published by the Department for Education. But there is a significant shortage of male teachers, especially in primary schools, with reports last month indicating that almost one in three primaries has an all-female teaching staff. The latest figures heightened fears that schools are becoming dominated (主宰) by women and children are being denied access to male role models in the classroom. Researchers at the London School of Economics and Westminster University conducted an experiment in which each of 1,200 pupils in 29 schools was given 2. They could use the money to buy up to 10 questions at a cost of 20p each, which they then had to answer. If they were right they were given an extra 20p, but if they were wrong they lost 20p. Boys and girls who had a male teacher chose on average almost half a questionmore than those taught by women, indicating that they had a more positive outlook on the rewards of effort, the study said.Researchers wrote: One of the most significant results featured in this experiment is the positive effect of male teachers on effort. The experiment suggests that higher ability pupils either believed that the teacher would reward them more favorably or had a preference for working hard to please the teacher. According to the Good Teacher Training Guide, 86 per cent of new teachers entering primary schools are female, along with 62 per cent of those entering secondary schools.Professor Alan Smithers, of Buckingham University, said: This is an interesting and somewhat surprising finding, but it does underline the importance of having a good mix of male and female teachers in classes.56. Which of the following is true of the passage? A. Male teachers are more fair than female teachers.B. Now most primary schools are in need of teachers.C. The author thinks that male teachers are better than female teachers.D. Most people are afraid that their children cant get access to male teachers.57. What is the authors attitude to the finding that pupils work harder in lessons if they are taught by a man? A. He is for the finding.B. He doesnt show his opinion about it.C. He is against the finding.D. He thinks its interesting and somewhat surprising.58. What does the author mainly tell us in the 3rd paragraph? A. The experiment shows that students taught by male teachers had a more positive outlook on the rewards of effort.B. Students could use the money to buy up to 10 questions and then had to answer them.C. Boys and girls who had a male teacher chose on average almost half a question more than those taught by women.D. Researchers at the London School of Economics and Westminster University conducted an experiment.59. It can be inferred that . A. if a student is taught by a man teacher, he will think that if he works harder he will make greater progressB. one third of primaries has an all female staffC. 86 per cent of new teachers entering primary schools are femaleD. this finding is interesting and surprising60. Where can we find the passage? A. It is from a PE section on the Internet.B. It comes from the social section of a newspaper.C. It is from an educational magazine.D. It comes from an English teaching book.BEven a small reduction in salt in the diet can be a big help to the heart. A new study used a computer model to predict how just three grams less a day would affect heart disease in the United States.The result: thirteen percent fewer heart attacks. Eight percent fewer strokes. Four percent fewer deaths. Eleven percent fewer new cases of heart disease. And two hundred forty billion dollars in health care savings. Researchers found it could prevent one hundred thousand heart attacks and ninety-two thousand deaths every year.The study is in the New England Journal of Medicine. Kirsten, at the University of California, was the lead author. She says people would not even notice a difference in taste with three grams, or one-half teaspoon, less salt per day. The team also included researchers at Stanford and Columbia University.Each gram of salt contains four hundred milligrams of sodium, which is how foods may list their salt content.The government says the average American man eats ten grams of salt a day. The American Heart Association advises no more than three grams for healthy people. It says salt in the American diet has increased fifty percent since the nineteen seventies, while blood pressures have also risen. Less salt can mean a lower blood pressure.New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg is leading an effort called the National Salt Reduction Initiative. The idea is to put pressure on food companies and restaurants. Mayor Bloomberg has already succeeded in other areas, like requiring fast food places in the city to list calorie information. Now a study by the Seattle Childrens Research Institute shows how that idea can influence what parents order for their children.Ninety-nine parents of three to six year olds took part. Half had McDonalds menus clearly showing how many calories were in each food. The other half got menus without the calorie information.61. How many heart attacks will occur in the US every year？ A. 24,000. B. nearly 800,000. C. 100,000. D. 92,000.62. We can learn from the passage that . A. Americans ate no more than 5 grams of salt per day in the 1970sB. the American Heart Association suggest less than 3 grams of salt every day.C. all the heart diseases result from eating more saltD. a reduction in salt in the diet helps lower blood pressure.63. The National Salt Reduction Initiative aims to . A. put pressure on food companies and restaurants.B. advise Americans to eat less salt.C. require fast food places to list calorie information.D. attract the public attention to the problem.64. All the following are related to the salt in diet except _. A. strokes B. stomach diseases C. blood pressures D. heart attacks65. The best title of the passage of the passage is . A. The National Salt Reduction Initiative B. Prevent heart attacks and deathsC. Less salt can mean more life D. Americans should eat less saltCTodays Britain is full of TV shows like Fame Academy, which claim to offer young hopefuls an instant passport to fame and riches. But a very different kind of academy may provide a new generation of Brits with a slower, steadier path to wealth.A pig academy in the east of England is aiming to train up new pig farmers to help promote local agriculture and meet the UKs growing demand for pork. Last year consumption of pork products increased by 6,000 tonnes. But British farmers have not benefited from this rise in demand. A combination of increasing feed prices, competition from cheaper imports and an outbreak of foot and mouth disease have all eaten into their profits. Pig numbers in the UK have actually almost halved in the last decade. Now, Fresh Start Pig Academy in Lincolnshire is launching a course which intends to redress (修复) the balance. They say pig husbandry (养猪业) is a growth industry and newcomers are welcome. For those of you who fancy getting your hands dirty, the course will teach you everything you need to know, from keeping pigs healthy to raising the capital needed to start up.Pig farmer Anne Longthorp followed her father into the industry and believes that farming pigs is very rewarding work: Theyre great, curious animals to work with. Just watching their behaviour its really interesting work. There is a lot more to pig farming than people give us credit for. Its very scientific.So, while most of Britains young people may continue to dream of overnight stardom, others will hope a more traditional career will help them bring home the bacon.66. The second paragraph is mainly about the pig academy come into being. A.whereB. how C. when D. why 67. Which is not the contribution to the decrease in pig farmers enthusiasm? A. competition from cheaper importsB. increasing feed pricesC. growing demand for pork D. outbreak of foot and mouth disease68. From the passage we can infer that the Pig Academy will . A. provide geilivable help for whoever attends the course There 40 students were selected from almost 2,000 contestants nationwide. They had to present original research to be judged by professional scientists. The students showed their research projects on large posters. The winners were announced on March 15th, 2011.Wendy Hawkins is executive director of the Intel Foundation, Who says the 40 finalists represented excellence across many areas of science.Selena Li is from Fair Oaks, California, She wanted to find a more effective treatment for liver cancer. She began her research four years ago. A scientist at the University of California, Davis, taught her how to design and do experimental work in the laboratory. Ms. Li placed 5th in the Intel Science Talent Search and was awarded 30,000 dollars. Scott Boisvert lives near Phoenix, Arizona. He began using a laboratory at the university of Arizona at the age of 14. Over four years, he completed a project studying a fungus(真菌)linked to the decrease in amphibians(两栖类动物)around the world. He was trying to find out if different chemicals and substances in the water could kill of fungus. He collected and tested water samples across Arizona. He says,“My results were able to identify a list of chemicals that were significant in the growth and in the movement of the fungus.”He placed 10th in the Intel competition and was awarded 20,000 dollars.Evan ODorney of Danville, California, won the top award of 100,000 dollars in this years Intel Science Talent Search. For his mathematical project, He compared two ways to estimate the square root of an integer, a number with no fractional parts.Wendy Hawkins at the Intel Foundation says these young people represent the next generation of scientists who will help shape Americas future.71.
