attended college at the pennsylvania college for women where she majored in biology. she later got her masters（硕士） degree in zoology from johns hopkins university. after graduation, rachel taught for a while and then got a job at the u.s. fish and wildlife service. at first, she wrote for a weekly radio program that educated people on marine（海洋的） biology. later, she became a marine biologist and chief editor of publications for the fish and wildlife service. in addition to her work at the fish and wildlife service, rachel wrote articles for magazines about the ocean. in 1941, she published her first book called under the sea wind. however, her second book, the sea around us, made her famous. the sea around us was published in 1951 and was on the new york times bestseller list for 39 weeks. with the success of the book, rachel quit her job at the fish and wildlife service and concentrated on writing full-time. after world war, farmers began to use pesticides (农药) such as ddt on

perfect place to teach young men to express their emotions（情感） and involve them in activities such as art, dance and music.always boys at single-sex schools were said to be more likely to get involved in cultural and artistic activities that helped develop their emotional expressiveness, rather than feeling they had to correspond to(和相符) the boy code of hiding their emotions to be a real man.surprisingly, the findings of the study go against received wisdom that boys do better when taught alongside girls. george carl, headmaster of eton, warned that boys were being failed by the british education system because it had become too focused on girls. he criticized teachers for failing to recognize that boys are actually more emotional than girls.the research argued that boys often perform badly in mixed schools because they become discouraged when girls do better earlier in speaking and reading skills.but in single-sex schools teachers can adjust lessons to boys learning style, letting them move around the classroom and getting them to compete in teams to prevent boredom, wrote the studys author, abigail james, of the university of virginia.teachers could encourage boys to enjoy reading and writing with boy-focused approaches such as themes and characters that appeal to them. because boys generally have more acute eye, learn best through touch, and are physically more active, they need to be given hands-on lessons where they are allowed to walk around. boys in mixed schools view classical music as feminine(女性的) and prefer the modern genre (类型) in which violence and sexism are major themes, james wrote. single-sex education also made it less likely that boys would feel that they had to be masterful and in charge in relationships. in mixed schools, boys feel forced to act like men before they understand themselves well enough to know what that means, the study reported.29traditionally, in a mixed school ,boys _.a. behave more responsiblyb. perform relatively betterc. grow up more healthilyd. receive a better education 30the writer argues that a single-sex school would _.a. encourage boys to express their emotions more freelyb. help boys to be more competitive in schoolsc. force boys to be their emotions to be real mend. naturally strengthen boys traditional image of a man31in abigail james opinion, one of the advantages of single-sex schools is _.a. boys can choose to learn whatever they are interested inb. boys can focus on their lessons without being distractedc. teaching can be adjusted to suiting the characteristics of boysd. teaching can be designed to promote boys team spirit32the underlined word acute in paragraph 7 is closest in meaning to _ .a. lovelyb. seriousc. sharpd. dulld bang! the door caused a reverberation (回声). it was just standing there, with father standing on one side, and me on the other side.we were both in great anger. never set foot in this house again! stormed father. with tears welling up in my eyes, i rushed out of the flat and ran along the street.the street lights were shining, causing rather sad feelings. i wandered aimlessly.a young father who held a child in his arms walked past me. i felt as if i saw my childhood from another space: happy and carefree.but now i dont know whether it is because i have grown up or because dad is getting old. we differ in our ways of thinking. we are just like two people coming from two different worlds. it feels like there is an iron door between us that can never be opened.i wandered the streets, without a destination in mind. my heart was frozen on this hot summer night. as i walked on, there were fewer and fewer people on the streets, until i had only the street lights to keep me company. when i finally reached the high-rise apartment block in which i lived, i saw that the light was still on. i thought to myself: is father waiting for me, or is he still angry with me？in fact, it was nothing. perhaps, dad was throwing away some of his old stamps. perhaps he thought they were useless. i never had the courage to tell him that i liked collecting stamps.all the lights were off except fathers.dad was always like this. maybe he didnt know how to express himself. after shouting at me, he never showed any mercy or any moments of regret.this was how he always was. he has been a leader for so long that telling everyone else what to do has become his second nature.the light was still on. am i wrong i whispered, maybe with the key in my hand, i was as nervous as i had ever been. at last, i decided to open the door. as soon as i opened the door, tears ran down my cheeks. i suddenly realized that the iron door that i had imagined between us did not exist at all. loveits second to none.33according to the author, why did his father often shout at him ?a. perhaps the father was getting older and older.b. perhaps they never agreed with each other.c. perhaps the son had already grown up.d. perhaps the father had been used to doing that.34which of the following statements is true according to the passage ?a. the author fully understood why he and his father had different thinking.b. the author and his father lacked communication.c. the authors father didnt approve of his stamp collecting.d. the authors father opened the door for him when he came back.35what was the
