In a class I teach for adults, I recently did the “unpardonable.” I gave the class homework!

The assignment（任務(wù)） was to “go to someone you love   1  the next week and tell them you love them. It   2    be someone you have never   3   those words to before or at least haven't shared those words with for a long time.” That doesn't   4  like a very tough assignment   5  you stop to realize that most of the men were over 35 and were   6  in the generation of men that were taught that   7  emotions is not “macho（男子漢氣概的）.” Showing feelings or crying (heaven forbid!) was just not done. So this was a very threatening assignment for some.

At the   8  of our next class, I asked if someone wanted to  9   what happened when he told someone he loved them. I fully expected one of the   10  to volunteer, as was usually the  11  , but on this evening one of the men raised his hand. He appeared quite moved and a bit   12  . As he unfolded out of his chair, he began by saying, "Dennis, I was quite   13  with you last week when you gave us this assignment. I didn't feel that I had   14  to say those words to, and  15  ,　who were you to tell me to do something that personal? But as I began driving home my conscience started talking to me. It was telling me that I   16  exactly who I needed to say I love you to. You see, five years ago, my father and I had a heated  17  and really never resolved it since that time. We   18  seeing each other unless we absolutely had to at Christmas or other family gatherings. But  19  then, we hardly spoke to each other. So last Tuesday   20  I got home I had convinced myself. I was going to tell my father I loved him.”

A USB is a place where you can connect other machines to a computer. ”

　　Nadia and Kate were quiet after that. They took notes while the teacher gave a maths lesson . To Kate's surprise , Nadia put up her hand and offered to answer questions at the blackboard.

　　Nadia handled every question the teacher gave her. Sane of the questions were really difficult, and no one understood what was going on except Nadia and the teacher. When the teacher-said that Nadia answered everything correctly, the whole class clapped their hands.

B
One day, when I was a freshman in high school, I saw a kid from my class walking home. His name was Kyle. He was carrying all of his books. I thought to myself, “Why would anyone bring home all his books on a Friday? He must really be a nerd(書呆子).” So I shrugged my shoulders and went on. As I was walking, I saw some kids running at him, knocking all his books out of his arms and he landed in the dirt. His glasses went flying, and I saw them land in the grass about ten feet from him. I saw this terrible sadness in his eyes. I jogged over to him, and as he crawled around looking for his glasses, I handed him his glasses. He said, “Thanks!” There Was a big smile on his face. It was one of those smiles that showed real gratitude. I helped him pick up his books, and asked him where he lived, It turned out he lived near me, so I asked him why! had never seen him before. He said he had gone to a private school before coming to this school. I would have never hung out with a private school kid before. We talked all the way home. He turned a pretty cool kid.

Graduation day arrived. Kyle was valedictorian of our class, so he had to prepare a speech for graduation.

He talked of how he had cleaned out his locker so his Mom wouldn't have to do it later and was carrying his stuff home. He gave me a little smile. “Thankfully, I was saved.

In modern society, competition is everywhere. No wonder a English philosopher considers competition the source of a series of problem such as frustration and anxiety. Therefore, if we stress cooperation too much, there would be no progress. In my opinion, all are important and necessary.

Let's take the competition at school for example. Even a gifted student won't make a remarkable progress if he is in a class without competition. That's because competition, and rather, challenge is a driving force made him go forward. On the other hand, if we don't cooperate with each other, it's impossible for us learn from each other. And that's why most of the great discoveries or inventions in the modern world are the result of cooperation.

To conclude, those who laugh last are the people who can successful cope with the relationship between competition and cooperation.

According to a new study, preschool boys perform better on tests that measure learning and other important skills when they are in classes that have more girls than boys. This doesn’t seem to apply to girls, though. For preschool girls, the presence or absence of boys does not affect learning.

“The study raises questions about having all-boy or all-girl classes for preschool”, says psychologist Arlen Moller, who led the study. She added, “Previous researches have shown that high-school girls may study better in all-g irl schools. In middle school, however, the effects of same-sex schooling are unclear, and even less is known for very young kids.” To find out, researchers studied 70 preschool classes with a total of 806 children who were between 3.5 and 6 years old. For each class, teachers recorded the student’s progress over a 6.5-month school year.

Their data included scores of motor skills, social skills and thinking skills. Researchers found that boys developed each of these skills more quickly when there were more girls in the class than boys.

In majority-girl classrooms, boys developed at the same rate as girls. But in classes where boys were the majority, boys developed more slowly than girls. Girls tended to advance in classrooms which had any combination of boys and girls.

The study is one of the first to look at how the proportion of boys and girls in a class affects learning. Because it’s a new finding, researchers don’t know why this difference exists.

“This is an exciting topic, but it’s too early to draw any conclusion because this area is so under-explored,” says psychologist Lean Malofeeva of the High/Scope Educational Research Foundation in Ypsilanti, Michigan.

81．What is the finding of the researchers led by Arlen Moller? (no more than 15 words)(2 marks)

                                                                           

82．According to the research , what effect does a minority-girl class have on boy’s study?(no more than 8 words)(3 marks)

                                                                           

83．How does Lean Malofeeva find the study of the researchers led by Arlen Moller?(no more than 6 words)(3 marks)

                                                                           

84．List three abilities the researchers focused on. (on more than 7 words)(3 marks)
