I didnt really understand how it happened, but I heard someone yell out, but then my boat, Wild One, went off into the darkness and I was alone in a very rough sea. I then spent five and a half hours in the water. The place where it happened was, oh, about 50 kilometers from shore. It was likely that I wouldnt see another day, but I always thought Id overcome the difficulties.At first I was watching out for Wild One. The rest of the crew knew I was gone, so they were sure to come back and look for me. After a while, I saw the boats lights when it came looking for me. They were within about 300 meters of me, but the spotlight just missed me. The reason why they didnt see me was because of the huge waves. You know, I started sailing when I was seven, and started ocean racing when I was about eighteen, but Id never been overboard before. I believed I was going to survive, but it was very cold, and as the hours passed I started to get desperateand frozen!It was around 5 am when I saw the lights of a tanker coming towards me. I figured it was probably my last chance. At first, I thought they were going to miss me, and then they made a slight turn and I yelled out “Help!” and they heard me.

Teachers teach and students learn, and many scientists are interested in finding ways to improve both teaching and learning processes.Sian Beilock and Susan Leving, two psychologists at the University of Chicago, are trying to learn about learning. 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, it may create a snowball effect on their math achievement,” 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 learnand teach. The subject of math can be particularly difficult for everyone.The new 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 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 teachers 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 mathand all of these girls had been taught by female teachers with 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.49. Sian Beilock and Susan Levine carried out the new research in order to _.A. know the effects of teaching on learningB. study students ways of learning mathC. prove women teachers are unfit to teach mathD. find better teaching methods for teachers50. The underlined part in paragraph 2 most probably means that girls may _.A. end up learning math anxiety from their teachersB. study the ways their female teachers behaveC. have an influence on their math-anxious female teachersD. gain unexpected achievement in such subjects as math51.What is the finding of the new study?A. No male students were affected by their teachers anxietyB. Almost all the girls got lower scores in the tests than the boysC. About 30% of the girls thought boys are better at math than girlsD. Girls with math-anxious teachers all failed in the math tests52. Which of the following is TRUE according to the text?A. 117 students and teachers took part in the new studyB. The researchers felt surprised at the findings of their studyC. Beilock and Levine are interested in teaching mathD. Men teachers are better at teaching math than women teachersDWhile assisted living centers have been available in the United States for many years, the growth and availability of assisted living has had a dramatic increase since the early 1990s.
