called a man s soap opera So I put my love for wrestling on the shelf Like everyone else I wanted to be associated with the cool clique I yearned to be invited to the parties of the in crowd and hang out with the popular kids I became pretty successful Although my Friday evenings were busy with parties I would still wake up early Saturdays to watch wrestling It wasn t until freshman year that I realized I wasn t being myself That year I tried many new things and activities and made new friends In my town football was the sport so I decided to play football thinking it might give me a head start in popularity The team started with 48 athletes At the end there were 14 of us left I stuck it out not because I liked it but because I am not a quitter That long season taught me a lesson I wasn t a football player More importantly it taught me to be myself After that season I went back to being a wrestling fan I watched it religiously no matter what insults were thrown my way I came

have held five shows with as many as two hundred and fifty people turning out We continue to live this dream We 2 accomplished what we set out to do We are now well known throughout school When I walk down the halls I am respected by my peers Some are the same peers who ridiculed me for watching wrestling when I was younger When they approach me they often say Good match Chris I humbly say Thank

a week after she posted photos of her injuries on the web and set off a bomb of criticism I wholeheartedly apologize to my wife Kim and my girls for committing domestic violence This has caused them serious physical and mental damage Li said on his mieroblog at W the country s most popular social media site on Saturday Li 42 is a mechanics major but is best known for his Crazy English a popular method of language learning that involves yelling at the top of one s lungs He was at the center of public criticism after his wife Kim Lee put up posts on the web accusing him of abuse showing her swollen forehead and knees Voices 3 Xuemanzi angel investor Anti domestic violence laws should be made as soon as possible giving protection to the rights of women and children lawfully Police should not stand back from domestic violence any longer even if no one reports them Society as a whole should attach greater importance to the crime Zhangxiaomei Chinese are never taught about marital 婚姻的 relations which mean not merely living together A good marriage needs to overcome three differences family background gender and personalities In addition to these there is cultural gap in Li Yang s case If the effects of these differences are not well understood after the honeymoon period they will turn into conflicts and endanger the marriage Li s domestic violence is a reminder that China needs such education Wuxiaolong Sina Weibo user Li Yang s choice to resort to domestic violence really reflects his character Students who have attended his Crazy English Camp may know what I mean Li wants his students to worship him as an idol I still remember he once had his students kowtow to him He always teaches English by imposition 权威强制 which directly reflects his desire for power Sikaozhe Sina Weibo user In the US the punishments for domestic violence are even more severe than strealing If the police arrive at the wife s call during a fighting between a couple nd find injuries on her

person is his character Aftermath 余波 Although Li Yang publicly apologized to his wife promising to love his daughters even if he and Lee divorce the damage perhaps permanently has been done to his wife his three daughters and the whole family Wang Xingjuan founder of the Maple Women s Psychological Consulting Center a non profit organization said nearly half of domestic violence abusers are

math science history art or music Teachers teach and students learn and many scientists are interested in finding ways to improve both the teaching and learning processes Some researchers such as Sian Beilock and Susan Levine are trying to learn about learning Beilock and Levine are psychologists at the University of Chicago Psychologists study the ways people think and behave and these researchers want to know how a person s thoughts and behavior are related In a new study about the way kids learn math in elementary school Beilock and Levine found a surprising relationship between what female teachers think and what female students learn If a female teacher is uncomfortable with her own math skills then her female students are more likely to believe that boys are better than girls at math If these girls keep getting math anxious female teachers in later grades itit maymay createcreate a a snowballsnowball effecteffect onon theirtheir mathmath achievementachievement Levine told Science News The study suggests that if these girls grow up believing that boys are better at math than girls are then these girls may not do as well as they would have if they were more confident Just as students find certain subjects to be difficult teachers can find certain subjects to be difficult to learn and teach The subject of math can be particularly difficult for everyone Researchers use the word anxiety to describe such feelings anxiety is uneasiness or worry Many people for example have anxiety about going to the dentist because they re worried about pain 5 The new study found that when a teacher has anxiety about math that feeling can influence how her female students feel about math The study involved 65 girls 52 boys and 17 first and second grade teachers in elementary schools in the Midwest The students took math achievement tests at the beginning and end of the school year and the researchers compared the scores The researchers also gave the students tests to tell whether the students believed that a math superstar had to be a boy Then the researchers turned to the teachers To find out which teachers were anxious about math the researchers asked the teachers how they felt at times when they came across math such as when reading a sales receipt A teacher who got nervous looking at the numbers on a sales receipt for example was probably anxious about math Boys on average were unaffected by a teacher s anxiety On average girls with math anxious teachers scored lower on the end of the year math tests than other girls in the study did Plus on the test showing whether someone thought a math superstar had to be a boy 20 girls showed feeling that boys would be better at math and all of these girls had been taught by female teachers who had math anxiety According to surveys done before this one college students who want to become elementary school teachers have the highest levels of anxiety about math Plus nine of every 10 elementary teachers are women Levine said This study was small and it s often difficult to see large patterns in small studies David Geary told Science News Geary a psychologist at the University of Missouri in Columbia studies how children learn math This is an interesting study but the results need to be interpreted as preliminary and in need of replication with a larger sample Geary said That means that the results are just showing something that might be happening but more studies should be done If more studies find the same trend as this one then it s possible that a teacher s anxiety over math really is affecting her female students 50 Sian Beilock and Susan Levine carried out the new research in order to A know the effects of teaching on learning B study students ways of learning math C prove women teachers are unfit to teach math D find better teaching methods for teachers 51 The underlined part in paragraph 4 most probably means that girls may A end up learning math with anxiety from their teachers B study the ways their female teachers behave 6 C have an influence on their math anxious female teachers D gain unexpected achievement in such subjects as math 52 In the study what were the teachers required to do A Prepare two math achievement tests for the students B Tell their feelings about math problems C Answer whether a math superstar had to be a boy D Compare the students scores after the math tests 53 What is the finding of the new study A No male students were affected by their teachers anxiety B Almost all the girls got lower scores in the tests than the boys C About 30 of the girls thought boys are better at math than girls D Girls with math anxious teachers all failed in the math tests 54 Which of the following is TRUETRUE according to the text A 117 students and teachers took part in the new study B The researchers felt surprised at the findings of their study C Beilock and Levine are interested in teaching math D Men teachers are better at teaching math than women teachers 第二节 美国长大的台湾人气歌手 Wang Lee Hom 在接受 CNN Talk Asia 栏目专访时 回答 了主持人 Lorraine Hahn 提出的五个问题 第 61 65 题 请从下列提问 A B C D E 和 F 中选出与他的回答相匹配的问题 并在答题纸上将相应选项的标号涂黑 选项中有一 项是多余选项

combines the music of ethnic minorities in China in Tibet and in Mongolia It s beautiful and original to Chinese culture And this new album called Heroes of Earth combines Opera and Quen chu which are thousand year old traditions also unique to Chinese culture Very unique instruments costumes singing styles I don t think anyone has ever done this before in the hip hop world 62 WL Um just the large quantity of work that I have to come up with I produce for other artists and compose for them as well And there are a lot of changes in music going on right now in Asia And it s really exciting so I

creative people 64 WL The first time I won like you just said when I was 22 it meant a lot to me It was like I didn t know I could make this happen I didn t know I could get this kind of recognition

lucky that I can go back to New York and not be recognized and not be followed At times it can be really really annoying Today many people own a cell phone that has a camera on it and a blog In the
