Boys’ schools are the perfect place to teach young men to express their emotions and involve them in activities such as art, dance and music．
Far from the traditional image of a culture of aggressive masculinity(男子氣概)，the absence of girls gives boys the chance to develop without pressure to be consistent to a stereotype(傳統觀念)，a US study says．
Boys at single-sex schools were said to be more likely to get involved in cultural and artistic activities that helped develop their abilities to express their emotions，rather than feeling they had to obey the“boy code”of hiding their emotions to be a “real man”．
The findings of the study are against the received wisdom that boys do better when taught alongside girls．
Tony Little，headmaster of Eton，warned that boys were being ignored by the British education system because it had become too focused on girls．He criticized teachers for failing to recognize that boys are actually more emotional than girls．
The research argued that 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 boys’ learning style，letting them move around the classroom and getting them to compete in teams to prevent boredom，wrote the study’s 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, 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 modem type in which violence and sexism are major themes.” James wrote．
Single-sex education also made it less 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.
1.The author believes that a single-sex school would ．
A.force boys to hide their emotions to be “real men”
B.help to form masculine aggressiveness in boys
C.encourage boys to express their emotions more freely
D.naturally place emphasis on the traditional image of a man to boys
2.It is commonly believed that in a mixed school boys ．
A.perform ly better B.grow up more healthily
C.behave more responsibly D.receive a better education
3.What does Tony Little say about the British education system?
A.It fails more boys than girls academically．
B.It focuses more on mixed school education．
C.It fails to give boys the attention they need．
D.It places more pressure on boys than on girls．
4.According to Abigail James，one of the advantages of single-sex schools is ．
A. teaching can be designed to promote boys’ team spirit
B.boys can focus on their lessons without being absent-minded
C.boys can choose to learn whatever they are interested in
D. teaching can be adapted to suit the characteristics of boys

Bored? Don’t know what to do with your time? Get your friends or family together, go to the park or go hiking, do something fun---just don’t turn on your TV.
The 10th annual TV-Turnoff Week starts on Monday. The TV-Turnoff Network, a nonprofit organization, began the program in 1994 to get children and adults to watch less television so that their time is spent doing more productive things. This year, millions of people will participate and find much more interesting things to do besides sitting in front of the television.
Experts are convinced that watching too much TV keeps kids from participating in healthy physical activities. The average household has a television on for 7 hours and 40 minutes a day! Kids spend more time watching TV than they spend in school. Turning off the TV gives you a chance to be with your family and friends. Going without it frees up valuable time that could be spent reading a good book, writing, drawing, or discovering something else that may interest you.
There are many organizations that support TV-Turnoff week, including The Boys and Girls Clubs of America, YMCA, Girl Scouts USA, and Big Brothers/Big Sisters of America. Even First Lady Laura Bush is a supporter. “Television is no substitute for a parent. It doesn’t help develop language skills; it’s simply background noise,” said Mrs. Bush.
Even kids who may not have liked going without TV have discovered the benefits. “I really didn’t like TV-Turnoff Week except I did notice that my grades went up and I was in a good mood all week,” said Drew Henderson, a student in Donora, Pennsylvania.
1.The TV-Turnoff Network started TV-Turnoff Week to ___________.
A. to get people to spend more time doing more productive things
B. to keep kids from participating in healthy physical activities
C. to advise people not to buy television sets
D. to persuade more people to join the organization
2.Which is not the advantage of turning off the TV?
A. Giving you a chance to be with your family and friends.
B. Spending more time reading books.
C. Developing language skills.
D. Participating in healthy physical activities.
3.Drew Henderson’s words in the last paragraph imply that _____________.
A. he doesn’t like TV-Turnoff Week
B. he doesn’t support TV-Turnoff Week at all
C. it’s unnecessary to have TV-Turnoff Week
D. he doesn’t support TV-Turnoff Week until he finds it does good to his study

（湖南省邵陽市2017屆高三1月大聯考）My daughter went to see The Wild One recently and she commented that Marlon Brando was wearing jeans so long ago.Of course he helped set the trend,so that got me thinking about the link between films and trends in fashion.Fashion and films have gone hand in hand for long.The Wild One is a good example:it appeared in 1954,starring Brando.Dressed in a black leather motorcycle jacket,leather cap and jeans,he created a look which is still considered “cool” today.Everyone from Madonna to middle-aged men is seen wearing the classic leather motorcycle jacket.
Another strong influence on fashion trends was Breakfast at Tiffany’s, starring Audrey Hepburn. She made famous the simple black dress that looks perfect at either a cocktail party or just standing around an expensive department store like Tiffany’s with a pastry and coffee in your hand, as Audrey Hepburn does in the film. She looks so elegant, wearing simple but beautiful dresses, big dark glasses and a string of pearls around her neck. Audrey Hepburn still influences women’s fashion with her “Tiffany’s look”.
In more modern times, the film star Uma Thurman created a major fashion trend when she appeared in the film Pulp Fiction, made in 1994.Her style was very simple. Her black trousers, crisp white shirt and hair style was copied by women in the world.
Influencing fashion trends can often be about timing. The movie Memoirs of a Geisha came just in time to start a trend in Japanese fashion. It started the Chinese actress Zhang Ziyi, who wore beautiful silk kimonos（和服）,and it won an Oscar for Costume Design. Many travel companies picked up on the trend and ran “geisha trips” to Japan. The film has also led to a regained interest in kimonos. It is now quite common to see young Japanese women wearing kimonos not just on traditional occasions, but at various social events. The fashion is also beginning to spread to western countries.
1.What is the best title of the passage?
A. Films and fashion. B. Stars’ fashion
C. Influential films. D. Film cultures.
2.Who will people associate Madonna wearing the leather motorcycle jacket with?
A. Zhang Ziyi. B. Audrey Hepburn.

A. One can be active by wearing black.
B. One can be elegant by wearing simply.
C. One can be famous by looking perfect.
D. One can be stylish by eating at Tiffany’s.

Are you looking for something to do? You might like to try one of these four experiences.
Crocodile watching
Do you fancy getting up close to some of the most terrifying animals on earth? Crocosaurus Cove, in Darwin (Australia) has the “Cage of Death”. It’s an enclosure that’s lowered into a pool. This gives you a 360 degree view of a crocodile as it’s being fed. The cable broke once and the cage sank to the bottom, but they’ve fixed it since then.
EdgeWalk
How about walking along the edge of a building several hundred meters up in the air? If that sounds like fun, head off to the CN Tower in Toronto (Ontario, Canada). Built in 1976, the tower is 553.33 meters tall.
The EdgeWalk consists of a 20-30 minute stroll along a 1.5 meter wide platform that runs around the tower’s restaurant roof. During the walk, you’re encouraged to lean forwards as you look over Toronto’s skyline (輪廓線).
Plastic ball rolling
Do you fancy rolling down a hill in a plastic ball? Plastic ball rolling is popular all over the world, but the place to give it a go is in Rotorua (New Zealand). Brother David and Andrew Akers came up with the idea in 1994. A typical orb (球) is about 3 meters in diameter, with an inner orb size of about 2 meters. There’s no brake or steering mechanism, but the inner layer of the plastic ball helps absorb the shock.
Volcano bungee jumping
If you’re looking for the adventure of a lifetime, how about going bungee jumping off a helicopter into the crater of a live volcano? As part of the jumping, a helicopter ride takes you to the Villarrica volcano, one of the most active in Chile. Once you’re at the drop zone, you leap off the helicopter and fall into the volcano. Finally, you enjoy the ride back to the airport flying at 130kph.
