23、hat 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 adjust lessons to boyslearning style, letting them move around the classroom and getting them to compete in te

24、ams 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 sharper vision, learn best through touch

25、, and are physically more active, they need to be given “hands-on lessons where they are allowed to walk around. “Boys in mixed schools view classical music as feminine (女性的) and prefer the modern type in which violence and sexism are major themes, James wrote.Single-sex education also made it less

26、likely that boys would feel they had to give in to a stereotype that men should be “masterful and in charge in relationships. “In mixed schools boys feel pressed to act like men before they understand themselves well enough to know what that means, the study reported.41. The author believes that a s

31、ey are violent and sexist.BThere exist cruel wars, fighting and sadness in the world today, so its not only necessary, but also essential to have a good sense of humor just to help us go through difficult times in our lives. Putting a smile on someones face when you know they are feeling depressed,

32、as the saying goes, makes me feel good and warms my heart. How would you feel if you could not joke around with your wife, husband, child, co-worker neighbor, close friend, or even just someone that you are standing in line with at your corner store? I am always saying things that make others smile

33、or laugh, even if I dont know the person Im joking around with. My Grandma always found humor in everything she did, even if it was the hardest job anyone could imagine. This not only relieves stress in any situation, but also is a common manner to speak to others that are around you. I know of a fe

34、w people that dont have a funny bone in their bodies, as they say. Everyone around them could be rolling on the floor after hearing a great joke and they would sit there without the slightest smile on their face. They dont get the joke that makes others laugh. I am busting a gut while they just sit

35、there, looking at me as if I were from outer space. How can people not get a really funny joke? Laughing is essential to keep your stress levels under control.

40、iticalC Children start out as natural scientists, eager to look into the world around them. Helping them enjoy science can be easy; there is no need for a lot of scientific terms or expensive lab equipment. You only have to share your childrens curiosity. Firstly, listen to their questions. I once v

41、isited a classroom of seven year- olds to talk about science as a job. The children asked me “textbook questions about schooling, salary and whether I liked my job. When I finished answering, we sat facing one another in science. Finally I said, Now that weve finished with your lists, do you have qu

42、estions of your own about science? After a long pause, a boy raised his hand, “have you ever seen a grasshopper eat? When I try eating leaves like that, I get a stomachache. Why? This began a set of questions that lasted nearly two hours. Secondly, give them time to think. Studies over the past 30 y

43、ears have shown that. After asking a question, adults typically wait only one second or less for an answer, no time for a child to think. When adults increase their “wait time to three seconds or more, children give more logical, complete and creative answers. Thirdly, watch your language. Once you

But in talking about science, quick praise can signal that discussion is over. Instead, keep things going by saying, “Thats interesting or “I

45、d never thought of it that way before, or coming up with more questions or ideas. Never push a child to “think. It doesnt make sense; children are always thinking, without your telling them to. Whats more, this can turn a conversation into a performance. The child will try to find the answer you want, in as few words as possible, so that he will be a small target for your disagreement. Lastly, show; dont tell. Real-life impressions of nature are far more impressive than any lesson children can learn from a book or a television program.
