He was _36_ and after thanking him for his honesty, I changed the grade in my _37_. His beaming (欢笑的) face turned to shock. “Youre 38 my grade?” he said angrily. “I would never have come in _39_ ”He didnt finish the _40_, but it was obvious that his display of honesty was _41_. He thought hed have it allpraise and the higher grade.Several colleagues thought I should have let the higher grade _42_ because all Id accomplished was to discourage him from being _43_ in the future. And every time I tell this story, some people agree with this _44_. But I cant see how I could give good reason for worsening my _45_ in grading by undermining (损害) the honesty of all my grades by failing to _46_ an error. The grade itself would be a dishonest _47_ of his knowledge and it would have been _48_to other students. How could I _49_ give a student a gift of an unearned grade? I know _50_ reporting an error in ones favor is unusual, but, like _51_ too much change, its clearly the right thing to do. People of character, those with real honesty, hate to give up _52_ as much as anyone else. The difference is that for them a good conscience and reputation is _53_enough to give reason for the cost of doing the right thing. Perhaps lowering the students grade did _54_ him from being honest in the future, but bribing (贿赂) him to be honest so that he does the right thing when its cost-free would have _55_him even more. The duty to be honest is about right and wrong, not risks and rewards.36. A. wise B. right C. rigid D. angry37. A. files B. books C. records D. notes38. A. lowering B. correcting C. changing D. making39. A. whether B.which C. what D. if40. A. sentence B. work C. exam D. lesson41. A. good B. false C. special D. impressive42.

But some college students still try every means to escape classes. The number of these rebels may be much bigger than you think. Three students from Anhui Normal University established Itaoke. Com in June. The website quickly attracted 2 000 registered members in tlree months. On the website, students share their experiences of skipping classes and even post ads to look for someone to stand in for them to attend courses. Its embarrassing for universities to see this shameful behavior discussed:However，its good for schools and teachers to know via the website the reasons why students skip classes，according to Professor Xiao Haitao from Shenzhen University: Xao pointed out that somestudents skip classes because of laziness.Others play truant because the teaching is truly dissatisfactory,“Universities can seek improvements to give a cure to the class-skipping problem，”said Xiao.Chen Yang，21，thinks that he is “forced to skip some courses because of the poor teaching. the senior，majoring in English at Yangtze University, thinks that hes wasting time in the classroom when the teacher reads the textbook word for word or hands him outdated reading materials. He would rather skip classes to study in the library, watch online videos of Harvard or Yale lectures，or sit in on(旁听）other courses he is interested in. Chen draws a clear line between himself and those who skip classes in order to get more sleep or fool around on campus. He emphasized：“I skip classes with a clear goal，which is to probe into areas Im interested in andbroaden my horizons.”Li Sicen，President of the National Taiwan University，seems to be on Chens side. Li claimed that he supported those students who skip classes for good reasons.However，Professor Xiao warns students that Li is not giving permission for students to skip classes. Xiao suggests that Li was just showing his understanding of truancy in a limited number of cases.In Professor Pan Cuiqiongs opinion，students tend to jump to the conclusion that a certain course is boring and useless. To clear students misunderstanding，teachers should use materials closely related to studentslives and adapt interactive teaching methods，”said Pan.Besides offering teachers more training，schools also need to give students different optional courses and ensure that they can attend the courses they are interested in，according to Professor Xiao. Many Chinese students have the experience of being kicked out of an optional course because its size is limited. They are then forced to choose courses they dislike and are likely to skip them. We may learn from Sydney University in Australia. There arent any problems with numbers-if a course is popular then there will be more than one class per week.56: The underlined word“rebels in Paragraph 1 refers to“A students who embarrass their universitiesB: students who establish websitesC, students who skip classesD. students who quarrel with their parents57. Chen Yang Skips some courses becauseA, his school is more student-centeredB, he wants to get more sleepC. he wants to fool around on campusD. the teaching style needs much improvement58.

Which of the following measures is NOT mentioned to stop students skipping classes?A. Teachers should adopt practical materials and flexible teaching methods.B. Schools should offer teachers more training:C. Schools need to ensure that students can attend various courses they are interested in.D. Students should be punished if they skip classes.BBoys do worse in English when there are girls in their class，researchers will say today，contradicting the widely held belief that girls are always a good influence on boys in school. Boys do best with as few girls as possible in English lessons at primary and secondary school, Steven Proud from Bristol University has found. But when it comes to maths and science, both boys and girls at primary school achieve up to a tenth of a grade more when there is a high proportion of girls in the class, Proud found.Proud tracked boys and girls test results at the ages of 7, 11, 14 and 16 in 16000 schools in England between 2002 and 2004 for his Ph. D, He analysed the test scores to see whether the proportion of girls in a year group made a difference to the results of both genders in math，science and English. Proud looked at the schools that were in their high or low proportion of girls. Boys consistently perform up to a tenth of a grade worse when they study English with high numbers of girls as opposed to few or no girls，Proud found. The more girls there are in an English class，the worse boys perform. This is particularly the case in primary schools，he discovered. Proud will argue that his results show boys should be taught English in single-sex classes.Girls，who outperform boys in English at every stage at school, are unaffected by the number of boys in their English classes. Girls also do better when there are some boys who receive free school meals in their class，Proud found. He said, The results imply that boys would benefit at all ages from being taught English with as small a proportian of girls as possible, In maths and science，the results tend to imply that both boys and girls benefit from having more girls in the classroom A mix of the genders in both science and maths is the best choice.”Proud said boys may do worse in English when there is a high proportion of girls in their class because they realize that the girls are better than them. It could also be that teachers use teaching styles more appropriate to girls when there are more girls than boys in the class. Both genders perform better in maths and science at primary school when there are more girls in the class because boys tend to disrupt the class more，he said.Professor Alan Smithers from the University of Buckingham said girls started school with slightly better verbal skills，while boys started with a slightly greater ability for maths;“Boys might be discouraged by how well girls are doing in English，”he said，“but that still does not explain why they would do better in maths and science with a higher proportion of girls in their class.”60. Its widely believed thatA, boys do worse in English when there are more girls in their classB. girls are always having a good influence on bays in schoolC. boys do best with“as few girls as possible in English lessonsD, there is a higher proportion of girls in schools61. Fraud is likely to believe that_A. boys should be taught English in single-sex classesB. boys outperform girls in English at every stageC. some bays who receive .free school meals do better in EnglishD. boys perform better in maths and science at primary school when there are mare girls62. In terms of the reason why boysEnglish grades are up to a tenth worse when high numbers of girls are in the class，Alan Smithers explains thatA. teachersteaching styles are more appropriate to girlsB, boys tend to disrupt the class moreC. bays started with a slightly greater aptitude for mathsD. girls started school with Slightly better verbal skillsC Now in a world piled high with smartphones，tablets and e-readers，technology has entered the classroom in ways unimaginable.
