men to express their emotions and involve them in activities such as art, dance and music.far from the traditional image of a culture of aggressive masculinity (阳刚), the absence of girls gives boys the chance to develop without pressure to conform to a stereotype, a us study says.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 conform to the boy code of hiding their emotions to be a real man.the findings of the study go against received wisdom that boys do better when taught alongside girls.tony little, headmaster of the british boys-only school, 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 their female peers do better earlier in speaking and reading skills.but in single-sex schools teachers can tailor 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 vision learn best through touch, and are physically more active, they need to be given hands-on lessons where they are allowed to walk around, james found.single-sex education also made it less likely that boys would feel they had to conform to a stereotype that men should be masterful and in charge in relationships. in mixed schools boys feel compelled to act like men before they understand themselves well enough to know what that means, the study reported. 31. the author believes that a single-sex school _.a. forces boys to hide their emotions to be real menb. helps to cultivate masculine aggressiveness in boysc. encourages boys to express their emotions more freelyd. naturally reinforces in boys the traditional image of a man32. it is commonly believed that in a mixed school boys _.a. perform relatively better b. behave more responsiblyc. grow up more healthily d. receive a better education33. what does tony little say about the british education system?a. it fails more boys than girls academically.b. it focuses more on mixed school education.c. it fails to give boys the attention they need.d. it places more pressure on boys than on girls.34. according to abigail james, one of the advantages of single-sex schools is _.a. teaching can be tailored to suit the characteristics of boysb. boys can focus on their lessons without being distractedc. boys can choose to learn whatever they are interested ind. teaching can be designed to promote boys team spirit35. which of the following is characteristic of boys according to abigail james report?a. they enjoy being in charge. b. they have sharper vision.c. they conform to stereotypes. d. they are violent and sexist.cmany people influenced various aspects of my life, based on their personal characteristics, accomplishments, and values. i have been fortunate to have had numerous teachers and

among my people. whenever i feel like giving up, or have a question or a concern, i know i can always call on him for advice. from him i have also learned that sometimes you have to put others needs ahead of your own, but you should make sure you are not taken advantage of by others. his strength seems to be unbreakable during hard times, and he is extremely determined to accomplish anything he sets his mind on, no matter how tiny it is. i highly respect him for how he stands up for what he believes in, and will never back down. i have always admired his open mind, compassion for people, and
